Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the influence of oceanographic factor and riverine input on  mangrove ecosystem and their ability in  absorbing carbon. The location of the study was conducted in two different locations in West Kalimantan, which are (1) Mempawah and (2) Bakau Besar. The sediment sampling was carried out using PVC pipes in the middle of the transect point and taken within ± 20 cm depth. After laboratory pre-treatment, we analyzed the carbon content using CHN Analyzer. The results showed that station 3 of Mempawah and station 2 of Bakau Besar have a high organic carbon content, i.e., 6.46 ± 0.23 ton C/ha and 14.93 ± 1.43 ton C/ha, respectively. We also found that input organic carbon in the river (location 2) and canal (location 1) were higher at high tide than low tide. Besides that, we also found that the sediment type at station 3 of Mempawah is categorized as silt (75%) and fine sand (± 0.24%). Whereas at station 2 of Bakau Besar, the sediment contains silt (68%) and fine sand (± 2%). In addition, those two stations have a total mangrove density up to 13519 individuals/ha and 9928 individuals/ha, respectively. According to this findings, we suggest that high organic carbon is influenced not only by high biomass density but also by the oceanographic factor that affects load of organic carbon in river and canal, and the difference of sediment types that are influenced by breaking wave height at the study site.

Abstract

The December 2019 issue of Marine Research in Indonesia on "Oceanography of the Indonesian Seas" is dedicated to Klaus Wyrtki. In many ways, Klaus Wyrtki's contribution to the study of the Indonesian seas served as a smooth transition from the era of the great expeditions such as the Dutch Willebrord Snellius Expedition (1929-1930; see Wüst, 1964; van Aken, 2005) of the early and mid-20th century to the modern era. In the NAGA Report (Wyrtki, 1961; also see Wyrtki, 2005), Klaus used existing ocean observations, supplemented with data he helped collect on the Indonesian research ship Samudera during his sojourn in Indonesia (1954-1957) as Head of the Institute of Marine Research in Jakarta to map out a broad view of the Southeast Asian waters (the waters of the Maritime Continent including the Indonesian seas). He presented the geography, the configuration of the seas and basins of the Southeast Asian waters, the surface circulation, and governing dynamics, including the tides and monsoonal driven seasonality, and the temperature/salinity surface layer patterns, as well as aspects of the subsurface stratification. The Plates 1-44 beautifully reveal the oceanographic condition of the Southeast Asian waters as resolved by the pre-1960 observations. As Klaus Wyrtki says in the NAGA Report Preface: "It is hoped that workers in the region, whether in oceanography or other branches of science may find it a source of information and a stimulus to undertake further research in these waters" and "The scientific publications dealing with this region show not so much a lack of observations as a lack of an adequate attempt to synthesize these results to give a comprehensive description of the region." "I soon decided to devote most of my time during my three years’ stay in Indonesia to the preparation of a general description of the oceanography of these waters." He succeeded.

Abstract

Phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound that is known to be reported toxic to marine flora and fauna. Remediation of this environmental pollutant using chemical and physical methods causes environmental issues. Bioremediation using marine has been applied to degrade such various PAH compounds. Screening of marine microorganism in degrading this recalcitrant is very importance for bioremediation application in Indonesian waters. The purpose of this study was to screen and isolate bacterial with potential application in biodegradation of phenanthrene and other harmful PAH in marine environments. Several potential bacteria strains were isolated from oil contaminated sea water in Cilacap area. Sequence analysis using 16S rRNA gene marine bacterium strain C.260 showed 96% sequence homology to sequence of Thalassospira sp. In biodegradation of phenanthrene, within 28 days experiments, this bacterium degraded 50% and 99.75% of phenanthrene in medium with and without enrichment with NPK fertilizer respectively. Using sublimation method, this bacterium also degradeds phenothiazine, fluoranthene, and dibenzothiophene.

Abstract

Indonesia is considered to have a high diversity of sharks and rays due in part to its position in the equatorial line, between two continents and two oceans. According to recent studies and various publications, the number of chondrichthyan species known to date is 207 species of 44 families, comprised of 109 species of sharks, 96 species of batoids, and two species of ghost sharks (chimaera). The Dasyatidae (stingrays) is the most speciose family of chondrichthyans occurring in Indonesia, followed by the Carcharhinidae (whaler sharks). Most species of elasmobranchs commonly occur on the continental or insular shelves and rays are more commonly found than sharks. This type of habitat can be found mostly in the western part of Indonesia (the Java Sea, Karimata Strait, South China Sea, Malacca Strait, and Macassar Strait). Due to the separation by the Wallace Line, there are some differences in species diversity between western and eastern region. The shark and ray fauna of the eastern region is more similar to the Australian fauna, while the fauna in the western region is more similar to the Asian fauna. There are also some endemic species known to occur in Indonesian waters. The endemicity of some species can be restricted in a certain area or in a regional area such as the Indo-West Pacific.

Abstract

Analysis of sea level data derived from Jason-1 altimetry satellite reveals the basic characteristics of a coastally trapped wave along the waveguide in the south of Indonesian archipelago. The most robust signatures of the trapped wave are recorded recurrently in the months of May-June. Hovmoller and coherence analysis synonymously agree that the wave propagates at a speed of 2.8-2.9 m/s towards the eastern end of the waveguide. The trapped wave is dependent upon the stratification regime, and a Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) analysis on the stratification profile inferred from several CTD casts indicates that the trapped wave may be classified as a first mode baroclinic wave.

Abstract

This study aims to quantify the fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate in Jakarta Bay and use these flux data to gain an initial understanding of the biogeochemical processes occurring in the system. We investigated water, suspended matter and sediments fluxes from estuarine, coastal water and outside of the bay. Water samples were analyzed for dissolved nutrients, chlorophyll-phytoplankton abundance, and their composition. Suspended matter and sediment were analyzed for carbon and nitrogen. Nutrient concentrations were high in the rivers or estuaries and then decreased rapidly seaward. Calculation budget results showed that Jakarta Bay is a sink for DIP, DIN and DSi during dry season and rainy season. In the dry season, the system is in the slightly fixation condition ([nfix-denit] = 0.03 mmol N m-2 d-1). In contrast, denitrification exceed nitrogen fixation ([nfix-denit] = -9.74 mmol N m-2 d-1) in the rainy season. Moreover, the bay produced net carbon about 2.6-32 mmol C m-2 d-1.

Abstract

The Tiris mangrove forest, Rhizophora apiculata-R. mucronata community, grows in the area with highly human induced stress and typically by silty clay substrate. The litterfall studies in Tiris, Indramayu (Lat. 6º 10'-7º 49' S and long. 107º25'-108º25' E), using litterfall trap and plot techniques indicate that the mangrove forest is very productive. Litter productivity, as measured by litter trapping of a R. apiculata dominant mangrove forest at Tiris is 1,290.95 dry g/m2 /year, and estimated as 12.90 dry t/ha/year and leaf shared is 40.70%. This is a high value when compared with the mangrove forests in the Indo-West Pacific and/or Malesian regions, and even with R. mucronata plantation in Tritih, Segara Anakan, Cilacap (Lat. 7º 41'-7º 45' S and Long. 108º 46'-109º E). Correlations between litter components with rainfall, number of rain-day, wind run, mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature, and mean monthly temperature, and relative humidity are calculated for understanding their role in litter production. These correlations are discussed and it is suggested that seasonality of mangrove need to be considered in terms of whole tree physiology rather than isolated environmental factors. Also, the high production of litter means an important contribution to support food-webs of many marine organisms. The results suggest that, in terms of litter, the mangrove forests in Tiris may be one of the most productive forest types in Java.

Abstract

The so called ?black sea cucumber? are found in Indonesia as several species including Holothuria atra, H. leucospilota, H. coluber, H. excellens and H. turriscelsa. The local community of Wainure village near Pombo Island in central Maluku had reported that most sea cucumbers inhabiting the island are the black sea cucumbers or locally known as ?teripang hitam.? They are occasionally consumed but not exploited excessively by the locals. The goals of this study are to identify the species of black sea cucumbers inhabiting Pombo Island and map their distribution to understand the microhabitats of black sea cucumber. Two field surveys conducted in March and April 2014 collected more than 550 individuals of black sea cucumbers that belong to two species Holothuria (Halodeima) atra Jaeger, 1833, and Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota Brandt, 1835. Furthermore, distribution maps of these two species show that they are found only along the SE to SW coast of the island. Such distribution may relate to the availability of marine vegetation, as well as boulders and stones that provide shelters to the organism. The distribution maps also show that H. atra has a wider distribution than H. leucospilota in Pombo Island. This may be due to the semi-cryptic habit of H. Leucospilota?s (i.e. hiding its posterior body under rocks or crevices), making its distribution restricted to areas that provide ample shelters.

Abstract

Lembeh reefs and its water surrounding are among the richest and most diverse in marine biota in Indonesia. The biota and reefs in this area have an important contribution to the provinceâ??s economy in the form of tourisms and fishery activities. An inventory using line intercept transect and free collection on the coral diversity has been conducted in four different locations showed that live coral cover ranging from 12.2â??60.7% while sand rubble ranged from 4.67 to 78.67%. Among the life form categories, sponge dominated other biota with 0.47â??21.97% coverage. Macro algae and turf algae cover were low at all sites, with average less than 2.07%. A total of 193 corals species belonging to 68 genera were recognized from this area. The differences among sites may be consequences of water quality, habitat variability and condition of the land base activities. Water turbidity in the coastal area of Kema was high due to the effects of water discharge from river mouth. Further, poor land management, development of port and human settlement leading to sedimentation, water pollution and poor water quality, remain the primary causes of reefs declines. Busy harbor and local sea transportation will be the major cause of coral reef degradation in the near future. There is a need to increase awareness of local people about the important of coral reefs and to develop management and conservation efforts involving scientists, academe and tourist operators. In addition, it is a need to strengthen the capabilities and capacities of institutions that concern reef management and enforce legislation.

Abstract

A study on the correlation between water, sediment qualities and the diversity of elasmobranchs in Jakarta Bayhas been conducted by the Research Center for Oceanography from the beginning of 2012. This paper presents apart of the study focusing on elasmobranch diversity and its size composition. Elasmobranchs in the coastal area ofJakarta Bay were collected using bottom gillnet every month to find out the species diversity and its size composition.The 162 collected individuals from Jakarta Bay were classified into eight species of rays and one whaler shark.Himantura gerrardi, H. uarnacoides, H. walga and Neotrygon kuhlii were the most common species found in thisarea. Interestingly, most specimens found in the area were immature and new born animals. This finding indicatesthat the coastal area of Jakarta Bay is one of nursery areas of most elasmobranchs living in adjacent waters althoughthe bay has been heavily polluted.
