Abstract

Seagrass beds are found along the shore of Tanjung Merah (North Sulawesi, Indonesia). This ecosystem covers approximately 20 hectars, and are well known to support local fisheries. Thalassiahemprichii was the dominant seagrass species at the study site. This study in the given area was aimed to monitor any changes in fish assemblage structure, and examine the function of seagrass beds for marine fish. Fishes were sampled using the small beam trawl in March 2003, April 2004 and September 2005. A total of 137 species belonging to 34 families were identified. Twenty four species were found abundantly in terms of individual numbers, however Apogon margaritophorus and A. hartzfeldii were the most dominant. These two species were permanent resident, indicated by a catch of large number in different stages of life cycle. We also noticed that many adults of A. margaritophorus kept fertilized eggs in their mouths. This evidence also confirmed that seagrass beds function as both spawning and nursery ground for marine fishes. During three yearsâ?? monitoring, there was a slightly seasonal variety in fish assemblage structures.

Abstract

There are strong indicators that the degradation of coral reefs may increase the intensity and frequency of ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) outbreaks when denuded reef surfaces are colonised by macro algae that are the preferred hosts of toxic dinoflagellates that can cause the disease. Ciguatera field studies have concentrated on the dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus, well known to be the producer of ciguatoxin precursors. Moreover the potential of toxins from other dinoflagellate genera such as Prorocentrum and Ostreopsis is less often considered. Whilstit is known that toxic compounds produced by Ostreopsis species include ostreotoxins (OTX) and ostreocins, the potential harmful impacts of Ostreopsis, Prorocentrum and Gambierdiscus species on coral reef organisms (and ecological impacts) are largely unknown. In addition, CFP has historically largely occurred on the oceanic islands of the worldâ??s tropical seas, but has only recently been reported in the major archipelagoes of Indonesia and thePhilippines. In view of their degraded coral reef ecosystems and the potential link between reef health and CFP, this study examined three sites in Bali and Gili Trawangan over one year, to assess the prevalence and distribution of CFP related dinoflagellate species. Beside finding Gambierdiscus, Ostreopsis and Prorocentrum at most sites, water column nitrogen nutrient levels were also found on the average to be 3â??4 times higher than that recommended for a healthy coral reef (0.013mg/L). However the maximum abundance of Prorocentrum, Ostreopsis and Gambierdiscus found were low (103, 2,860 and 28 cells per gram of wet weight of host macroalgae, respectively). A factor thatmay play a part in the potential for toxicity at these sites is the abundance of sea grass (and associated micro flora and fauna) which are often present within and adjacent to coral reef ecosystems across the Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

Tide and tidal current model of the Bali Strait in Indonesia is produced by using a Coupled Hydrodynamical-Ecological Model for Regional and Shelf Seas (COHERENS). With its resolutions in the horizontal (500meters) and the vertical (4layers), the model well reproduces the four major tidal constituents, namely M2, S2, K1, and O1 tides, and their currents. Furthermore the model is used to investigate the tide-induced residual flow and tidal front in the Bali Strait. As a results, the tide-induced residual flow in the Bali Strait during the spring tide on May 16th in 2010 can be attributed to the variation of the strength of two eddies. The first one is the clockwise circulation in the shallow area at the wide part of the strait, while the second one is the small clockwise circulation in the south of the narrow strait. On the other hand, as suggestion from Simpson and Hunter (1974), the tidal front is determined by the value of log(H/U3) (where is the water depth in meters and the amplitude oftidal current amplitude in ms-1). The front detected by the image of sea surface temperature distribution from the satellite corresponds with the contour log(H/U3) of 6.5.

Abstract

Brantas River basin and Madura Strait in East Java Indonesia, are subject to heavily change in land use and land cover, and Brantas River Basin is a very important densely populated area in East Java, Indonesia for agriculture, industry as well as for settlement. The aim of the research is to elucidate the fate of transformation of bio-elements (organic carbon, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Silicate (Si)) and its seasonal variability. The contrast river discharge combined with tide generates the distinctive mixing zone during rainy and dry season. Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) and Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus (DIP) concentrations in the river are high and decrease to the very low value seaward. N:P ratio has seasonal variation due to large discrepancy of DIN and DIP supply from land to the sea. Dissolved Inorganic Silicate (DSi) in river and estuaries is extremely higher than the average in the world (> 150 mM). Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in dry season in the coastal water is higher than the rainy season. Due to high Total Suspended Matter (TSM), the primary production is limited by the light in the coastal water.

Abstract

Observations on oceanographic parameters using remote sensing techniques intensively have been done for more than 3 decades for estimating and mapping the sea surface temperature (SST) and the abundance of phytoplankton expressed as the concentration of chlorophyll-a and applied them in studying the ocean phenomenon. As a result, the product of these 2 parameters for all over the oceans in the world has been established and available in daily basis. However, on the contrary, there is still limited application for sea surface salinity (SSS) which is also one of the most important oceanographic features. This paper describes a novel method of deriving SSS from remotely sensed ocean color. The method is based on two important observations of optical properties in regions of freshwater influences. The first is the strong effect of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM or yellow substance) on ocean color when present in relatively high concentrations. The second is the close relationship between salinity and CDOM originating from fresh water runoff. In this paper, these relationships are demonstrated for the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. The MODIS sensor in Terra and Aqua satellites imageries and 10 in situ measurements conducted near-simultaneously with the satellites over flight over the bay in 2004 and 2006 were implemented for deriving CDOM and SSS. The empirical relationships demonstrated in this study allow the satisfactory prediction of CDOM and SSS in the Jakarta Bay from remotely sensed ocean color. The root mean square (r.m.s) error difference between the observed and predicted parameters are 0.14 m-1 and 0.93 psu for CDOM g440 g and SSS, respectively, over a range of salinity from 24 to 33 psu. This range is in good agreement with field surveys. Parameters that may influence CDOM, such as Chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) and total suspended material (TSM) concentrations were also analyzed. Results showed that there were no relationship at all between CDOM and CHL-a, and between CDOM and TSM. These indicate that phytoplankton plays a minor role in regulating CDOM abundance, and also suggest that CDOM contribution from sediment and/or from sediment resuspension is negligible. Thus, CDOM sources in the Jakarta Bay are mainly from riverine inputs. SSS maps created from the satellite-retrieved ocean color identify features in the surface salinity distribution such as salinity front of > 32 psu that migrated in and out of the bay according to seasons. Therefore, the ability to obtain synoptic views of SSS such as presented in this paper provides great potential in furthering the understanding of coastal environments.

Abstract

Sponges are one of the most diverse benthos in the coral reef ecosystem. They have many morphological characters that are specific to species, and their existence is influenced by environmental conditions. The aims of this study are to observe the relationship between morphological and species diversity of sponges in coral reef ecosystem in the Lembeh Strait and investigate the most influential environmental factor on sponge diversity. The study was carried out between April and May 2013 at nine study sites. The methods used were belt transect and line intersect transect (LIT) installed parallel to the coastline at approximately 5-meter depth. Our study supports a positive correlation between the morphological diversity and species diversity of sponges. Many of the morphological growth types were specific to sites that have particular characteristics. The percentage of the live coral cover is not a critical factor for sponge diversity in the strait. Instead, dead coral with algae as a benthic category has a significant positive correlation with the morphological and species diversity of sponges. Conversely, rubble as a substrate type has a strong tendency to affect sponge diversity negatively. To conclude, it is important to maintain healthy reefs in order to sustain benthic communities that are valuable to ecological functions and societies. Keywords:sponges, diversity, coral reefs, Lembeh Strait

Abstract

Several harbours in North Jakarta have been polluted by spills of oil and their derivates. We suggest that diverse species of crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria  inhabit these harbours. An experiment was undertaken in 2007 to isolate crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria from oil-polluted harbours, such as Muara Baru, Sunda Kelapa and Tanjung Priok. Sea water and sediment samples were collected twice, in March and April. Crude oil and PAH-degrading bacteria were isolated from enrichment culture of samples in an enrichment medium (SWP), using ONR7a medium with the addition of 5 types of PAH gases or Arabian Light Crude Oil 210 (ALCO 210) onto medium. This study reported that fluoranthene and crude oil-degrading bacteria were the major bacteria isolated from the three polluted harbours. In total, 109 isolates have been collected which can degrade crude oil (29% of total isolates), fluoranthene (33%), fluorene (20%), pyrene (7%), dibenzothiopene (6%), and phenantrene (5 %). Among these isolates, 5 isolates have the capability to degrade 5 types of PAH and ALCO 210. They were Alcanivorax sp. B-1084, Pseudomonas sp. D5-38b, Alcanivorax sp. TE-9, Bacillus sp. L41, Alcanivorax dieselolei strain B-5 clone 1. Culturable bacteria have been isolated mostly from the Sunda Kelapa samples, with fewer in those from Muara Baru and Tanjung Priok, respectively

Abstract

Distribution and composition of Indonesian Chaetodontid species may vary among different locations. However, illegal fishing practices such as bombing and poisoning on reef ecosystems have significant contribution to environmental degradation and can change the community structure of fish especially that of Chatodontids that act as indicator species in in the given areas. Therefore, it is important to do periodic surveys to know the current condition and their changing. A study on community structure of Chaetodontidae has been conducted from July toAugust 2011 on coral reef ecosystems of the Banda Sea and its adjacent waters including Banggai, Kendari, and Lamalera Islands. Scuba equipment was used and underwater visual census method was applied for collecting the data at 21 stations. A total of 1399 individual Chaetodontid fishes was observed, belonging to thirty species and seven genera, i.e. Chaetodon (20 species), Heniochus (4 species), Forcipiger (2 species), Chelmon (1 species), Coradion (1 species), Hemitaurichthys (1 species), and Parachaetodon (1 species). Chaetodon kleinii was the most dominant species in the Banggai (74,38%) and Lamalera (71,71%). Kendari was characterized by the presence of C. octofasciatus that contributed 55,20%. There were two dominant groups of Chaetodontidae based on the feeding guild. Facultative coral feeder was the most abundance in Banggai and Lamalera, while the most commonChaetodontidae in Kendari belonged to obligate coral feeder. Chaetodontid diversity in Banggai was the lowest compared to that of in other studied areas. Anthropogenic pressure may become a major factor causing the low diversity and studied species richness in the coral reef ecosystem of Banggai waters.

Abstract

Banggai waters, located in Central Sulawesi Province, is part of the worldâ??s coral triangle area which is wellâ??known to have the highest diversity on stony corals (Scleractinia). A research on stony corals has been carried out at 9 study sites between Juneâ??July 2011, practicing line transect methods and free collection in order to determine the recent condition and diversity of the given coral group. The average of live corals coverage was recorded at 46%(ranging between 24â??77%), and categorized as fair condition. The number of coral species found was 194, distributed in 54 genera. The Banggai waters condition was considered good and potential to sustain the coralsâ??growth. Even though so, in several particular areas, there were still threats on coral reefs.

Abstract

Analysis of air-sea temperatures and sensible heat flux was conducted to investigate heat transfer process on the atmospheric-oceanic boundary for the outer Ambon Bay. The analysis used SST data derived from both satellite product and in situ measurement using linear regression method, as well as meteorological data such as air temperature and wind speed during daytime. The goals of the current work were to evaluate the relationship between SST and air temperature in the outer Ambon Bay, and to investigate the variation of sensible heat flux in association with seasonal variability of the bay. The major findings were: 1) SST was predominantly lower than airtemperature, resulting in the dominance of negative feedback process on the atmospheric-oceanic boundary layer of the bay; 2) the seasonal SST variability was influenced by land heating and upwelling in the Banda Sea; 3) land heating resulted in large gradient of air-sea temperatures, whereas cooler upwelled waters exerted an opposite effect.
