Abstract

In Indonesia, Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum was first recorded in Kao Bay in 1994. In 1996 the illness of more than 30 people and the death of 3 children after consuming shellfish from Ambon Bay was reported. Until the shellfish poisoning cases was reported, occurrences and blooms of P. bahamense, neither its toxic events had never been known in Ambon Bay. It has generated monitoring on the species occurrence which has been carried out since 2008. The bloom of P. bahamense was detected in July 2012. During the bloom event, concentrationsof phosphate, nitrate and dissolved oxygen were measured. Vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, turbidity and chlorophyll a were also measured during the red tide. Cells of P. bahamense, the PSP responsible species, were recorded abundant up to 2,496 cells/ml when red-brown water discoloration was observed in Ambon Bay. After the toxic red tide, human illness of 7 people due to shellfish consumption was also reported. In addition, the bloom event has damaged aquaculture products, due to mass mortality of cultured fish in inner Ambon Bay.

Abstract

In west central Philippines, the monitoring of aquatic systems traditionally focused on dissolved oxygen values and biological oxygen demand, e.g. monitoring by the Environmental Monitoring Bureau around Panay Island. However, single or two factors are considered to be insufficient to assess habitat health precisely. In this paper, we investigated a benthic community and xamined their implications to habitat health of the Iloilo River. According to a prior benthic survey, warning signs pertaining to biotic, abiotic and community factors have been detected. The disturbed onditions in Iloilo River can be attributed to 3 factors; 1) its inherent topography, where bends serve as sinks for materials; 2) the lack of vigorous water exchange that promotes deposition and hinders complete flushing; and 3) the manner of utilization of the river by the local people. We thus concluded that: 1) monitoring for water parameters only is not enough to get a clear picture of habitat health; and 2) proposed that biotic components should be included for monitoring aquatic system.

Abstract

A list of marine isopods recorded from Indonesia has been compiled from the literature published between 1857 and 2012 as well as from Museum Zoologicum Bogorienseâ??s collections and current expeditions. To date, 225 marine species from 97 genera and 19 families have been recorded from Indonesia with two parasitic families Cymothoidae and Bopyridae showing the largest number of species: 63 and 41, respectively. As for the sampling sites, waters surrounding Java, Maluku and Sulawesi have been investigated most intensively with 55, 51, and 40records, respectively. The most comprehensive publication of marine isopods in Indonesia has been that by Nierstrasz (1931). In terms of role as bioindicators, Sphaeroma and Dynamenella have been discovered to survive in polluted waters in Jakarta Bay, suggesting their potential use as bioindicators of water pollution. Future research on basic taxonomy of isopods in Indonesia as well as their ecological functions are recommended.

Abstract

Species composition and abundances of phytoplankton in the shellfish farming area in Jakarta Bay, Kali Baru-Cilincing, were examined in order to identify harmful algae species. Phytoplankton contained in the shellfish was also observed to detect the presence of toxic species, as well as the phycotoxin contained in  visceral of green mussel (Perna viridis) collected from the farming area using brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT). We detected the presence of  Alexandrium spp. (PSP causing species), Dinophysis caudata, D. miles and D. rotundata (DSP causing species), and Pseudo-nitzschia spp. (ASP causing species). The last mentioned species was also detected in thestomach content of green mussel. The toxicity of green mussels tested was recorded LC 50 � 1,000 ppm and indicatedthe presence of an active compound in the green mussel viscera. Meanwhile, preliminary PSP test of shellfish did not showed any toxin.

Abstract

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause various problems, such as water quality degradation, fauna mass mortality and impairment of human health. Water quality monitoring in Lampung Bay has been conducted by Lampung Marine Aquaculture Office (BBL) of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries since 1994. Occurrence of Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum (Pbc), a causative organism of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), has been recorded but threats caused by HABs have never been reported. A study aimed to know the level of public knowledge and awareness about HABs in Lampung Bay has been conducted. The components of group respondents consisted oflocal governments, academics and coastal communities. Awareness from each component was examined includinggeneral HAB knowledge, HAB impact to the community, HAB occurence and local knowledge of HAB. Data of HAB knowledge were collected through questionnaire and focus group  discussion. The result showed that 40.5% of respondents had knowledge of HABs phenomena and 51.3% respondents only know signs or indicators of HAB occurrence, while only 1.4% respondents had knowledge of local HAB occurences. The direct impact of HABs to the community was not commonly known by the respondents. Only a few cases of poisoning after eating seafood were reported. It can be concluded that there was lack of public knowledge and awareness on HABs in LampungBay. Intensive public awareness programs about HABs should be conducted in order to reduce risk towards HABs in Lampung Bay.

Abstract

A study on the presence and relative abundance of benthic harmful algal bloom (BHAB) forming dinoflagellate species was carried out in the coral reefs of Sampadi Island, Sarawak, Malaysia. The study involved deployment of fiberglass screens as an artificial substrate for the benthic epiphytic microalgae. The screens were placed for 24 h above the seafloor along a 100 m transect at 10 m intervals. BHAB species attached to the screens were identified and cell abundances were enumerated under a light microscope. The BHAB community at the study site was dominated by Prorocentrum spp. and Coolia spp. Other BHAB species collected included Amphidinium spp., Gambierdiscus spp. and Ostreopsis spp. Total cell densities collected on the screens ranged from 5 to 100 cells per 100 cm2. The two BHAB groups of primary concern, Gambierdiscus spp. and Ostreopsis spp. were detected at relatively low abundances of 0.6â??4.2% and 1.8â??16% respectively. This study has shown that potentially toxic BHAB species were present in the coral reef and the artificial substrate approach could provide a convenient quantitative method for the collection of clean samples for identification and enumeration purposes.

Abstract

The effect of mineral accretion induced by electric current on settlement, growth, and survival of planula larvae and juvenile corals of Pocillopora damicornis was examined by both laboratory and field experiments. The laboratory experiment showed that the numbers of larvae settling on tiles with coralline algae and steel plates encrusted with limestone under no electric current condition were higher than that of other conditions. In the field, the highest survival rates of juvenile corals occurred under the lowest electric current density. However, there was no difference on the growth of juvenile corals between different electric current levels. The mineral accretion could potentially be used to enhance survival of juvenile corals for coral rehabilitation purpose.

Abstract

The concentrations and the distribution of organotin (OT) compounds and booster biocides in sediment and biological samples from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are reviewed. Basically, the concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) in these countries were within the levels that have been reported in developed countries. However, the concentrations of triphenyltin (TPT) and booster biocides were lower than the reported values. Concerning the spatial distribution of antifouling biocides, higher concentrations of OTs were detected in the industrial area and fishing ports. Among ASEAN countries, the highest concentrations of TBT and TPT were observed in Bitung, Indonesia, where many ships from Southeast Asia visit and is moored in the port. The ratio of detected alternative biocide differed from country to country. Especially, many booster biocides were detected and their concentrations were high in Vietnam.

Abstract

Southeast Asia is known as a center of biodiversity of the earth. As economic growth of this region is remarkable, conservation of biodiversity is a top priority issue. For this purpose, it is important to monitor the environmental condition in effective ways. We are trying to detect pollutants in coastal and estuary waters through the expression level of pollutant-responsive genes of rice fishes of the genus Oryzias, widely distributed in Asia. Japanese medaka O. latipes is a useful model because whole genome sequence is available. Javanese medaka O. javanicus and Indian medaka O. dancena, both of which are widely distributed in Southeast Asia and adaptable to seawater, are also potential models. One possible method for pollution monitoring is the use of transgenic fish bearing artificialgene construct containing the pollutant-responsive promoter and a reporter gene. For example, transgenic strains that can detect estrogen-like substances have already been established. It is also probable to detect pollutants by quantifying mRNA or proteins expressed from the pollutant-responsive gene. In any case, the most important point is to identify the gene that responds to specific pollutants. Comprehensive transcriptomic analyses are powerful tool for this purpose. Organotin-responsive genes are being screened at present.

Abstract

Marine sponge Aaptos-aaptos is thought to produce antimicrobial aaptamine and its derivatives. To investigate whether its associated bacteria are in fact the producer of such bioactive compounds, a study of antibacterial compounds derived from Aaptos-associated bacteria was conducted. In this research, approximately 10 bacterial colonies were isolated from the sponge Aaptos aaptos. Among the bacteria isolated, the one that showed the most potential for producing antibacterial compounds was Rhodobacteracea bacterium. Extra and intracellular bacterial extract from this strain strongly inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio eltor, while were moderately effective against Bacillus subtilis. Optimization of antibacterial activity was conducted by culturing Rhodobacteraceae bacterium in various carbon sources such as glucose, lactose, amylum, molasses and glycerol. The highest production of biomass was obtained by culturing this bacteria in SYP (Seawater Yeast  Peptone) medium, enriched with 1% glycerol as the carbon source and with a harvesting time of around 56-104 hours. The highest activity (8 U/ml) was reached when culturing this strain in SYP medium without any adding of carbon sources. Data analysis using a statistical tool indicated that carbon sources added to medium do not have a significant effect on antibacterial activity. Characterizing the compound responsible for the antibacterial properties will be the topic of further work.Keywords : carbon source, Rhodobacteracea bacterium, Aaptos aaptos, associated bacteria
