Abstract

Seasonal variation in nitrogen cycling at the upper layer of the Pasig River estuary in Manila Bay was calculated during January 1996 to December 1998 by using the numerical ecosystem model. Chl.a and DIN concentrations are relatively low, river discharge is small, and solar radiation is strong from March to May in dry season. The main reason of low chl.a concentration is that the solar radiation is too strong. On the other hand, as DIN concentration is relatively high and solar radiation is optimum, chl.a concentration is relatively high from August to December in rainy season. Main source of DIN in rainy season is the vertical transport from the lower layer due to the strong estuarine circulation.

Abstract

Berau delta is a coastal ecosystem where man-made activities are relatively low. The present study has investigated spatial distribution of Pb, Cr, Cu and Zn in sediments and their implication to benthic biota. The result of our study showed that metal concentrations varied from undetected to 55.53 mg kg-1 for Pb and from 3.28 to 22.9 mg kg-1 for Cu, while for Cr and Zn vary from 9.65 to 64.67 mg kg-1 and 10.00 to 1,200 mg kg-1, respectively. The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cr and Zn in Anadara sp were 7.53 ± 2.06, 4.92 ± 0.55, 1.44 ± 0.12 and 97.87 ± 9.12 mg kg-1 dry weight (dw), respectively. On the other hand, the Pb, Cr, Cu and Zn in Telescopium mauritsi were 4.49 ± 0.03, 0.87 ± 0.05, 259.0 ± 0.01 and 64.78 ± 0.01 mg kg-1 dw, respectively. In conclusion, spatial distribution of trace metals (Pb, Cu, Cr and Zn) in sediments showed that higher concentrations were found in the southern part of the delta, and the accumulation of the metals by mollusk might reflect natural concentrations in biota.

Abstract

Many microorganisms capable of degrading petroleum components have been isolated and few of them seem to be important for petroleum biodegradation in natural environments. To identify the bacteria that play a major role in degradation of petroleum polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), bacteria were enriched from seawater by using Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, Trichlorodibenzofuran and Benzo[a]pyrene as a carbon and energy source. The result of study that members of the genus Alcanivorax and Thalassospira became predominant in the enrichment cultures. The strains isolated in this study could grow on crude oil and degraded PAH components of crude oil. The number of cells increased to 8.1x106 cells g-1 after 14 days in subculture. PAH degradation proceeded parallel with the growth of bacteria cells. This observation which has been conducted in Marine Biotechnology Institute, Kamaishi, Iwate-ken, Japan suggests that Alcanivorax and Thalassospira play an important role in the degradation of petroleum PAHs in marine environment.

Abstract

In order to characterize the distribution pattern of rotifers Brachionus spp. in North Sulawesi, sample collections have been conducted at four locations, two at east coast and other two at west coast of North Sulawesi peninsula, which are connected to Maluku and Sulawesi Seas, respectively. At each location, a 40 p.m mesh size plankton net with a 0.3 m opening diameter was horizontally towed at three sites to represent coastal water, estuary and brachkiswater pond. Sampling periods were in January and August 2005 to represent west monsoon and east monsoon, respectively. Each sampling was performed twice a day during high and low tide. Some environmental factors were also measured in situ during the sampling. Three species of Brachionus were found during the survey, Brachionus rotundiformis, B. caudatus and B. quadridentatus. Their abundances were significantly different, both between locations and sampling sites. However, among the similar habitat such as between Manembo-nembo and Minanga brachkishwater ponds, B. rotundiforms abundance was not significantly different. This species was the most abundant compared to the other two species, in average 1984,4 ind/m3, while the other species was as low as 26,1 ind/m3 and 212,9 ind/m3 for B. caudatus and B. quadridentatus, respectively. The abundance of rotifers in northern areas connected to Molluccas Sea is higher compared to those in the southern areas connected to Sulawesi Sea. Distribution of B. caudatus is very similar to those of B. rotundiformis, while B. quadridentatus appears to have its specific pattern. Results of this study suggest that the abundance and species composition of the rotifers reflect trophic status of the aquatic ecosystem in the area. It is still awaiting future studies to elaborate the impacts of the trophic gradients in horizontal distribution of rotifers. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a long term monitoring with emphasis on the structure of rotifer assemblages in a variety of sites subjected to environmental perturbations, including anthropogenic contaminant inputs.

Abstract

The study on macrobenthic community structures was carried out in the offshore area of Mimika district, Papua in 2005. Steep mountain slopes and some of the highest rainfall rates in the world, have generated tremendous sediment loads that have settled in the alluvial plain and been carried out into the estuaries and the Arafura Sea, creating a massive area of deposited natural sediments. The objective of this study was to determine how the benthic community structures of the offshore area (Arafura Sea) changes as a result of environmental conditions. To accomplish the objective, samples were collected from 40 stations which were divided into 4 contours (layers) of water depth, i.e. 5, 10, 20 and 40 m. Stations of each contour depth were established perpendicular to the river mouths of Mimika district. The results showed the bottom sediments were mostly silt-clay fractions except the deeper area (40 m depth) which was dominated by very fine sand fraction. Diversity indices, Shannon index (H') and Pielou's evenness (e) index ranged from 1.00-3.50 and 0.20-0.92 respectively. These indices tended to increase in the deeper areas. In total 266 species of macro-benthos were collected from the study area. Contrary to this, the densities tended to decrease in deeper areas with the range of 195.00 ? 4110.00 individualsm-2. Polychaetes was the the dominant group, 50.80 ? 71.80 % of the total family of macrobenthos. Among the macrobenthos, there were some families and group of taxa which had high densities such as Sipuncula, Nemertea and crustaceans including Ampeliscidae, Gammaridae and Israeidae. Among the polychaete group were the families Spionidae, Owenidae, Sternaspidae, Cossuridae, Capitellidae, Nephtyidae, Magelonidae and Pilargidae. Based on density, macrobenthos of the study area shows relatively high production. High rates of sedimentation of Ajkwa estuary does not influence the structure of macrobenthic communities in the offshore area.

Abstract

A total of 2,310 individuals of elasmobranch fishes consisting of 60 species from 13 families were recorded from survey trips in Kalimantan waters. Six fish landing sites and markets in four provinces of Kalimantan were visited from September 2005 to November 2006. Some new records, endemic and new species were gathered during the surveys. Rays of Dasyatid family were the most common elasmobranch species occurring in this area. Himantura gerrardi, H. uarnak and H. uarnacoides (Dasyatidae) were the most common rays, whereas Chiloscyllium punctatum (Hemiscyllidae), Hemigaleus microstoma (Hemigaleidae), Carcharhinus amblyrhynchoides and C. dussumieri (Carcharhinidae) were the most common sharks recorded during this study. Some endemic and rare species were also recorded including Himantura lobistoma, H. pastinacoides, Pastinachus solocirostris (Dasyatidae) and Glyphis sp. (Carcharhinidae).

Abstract

Study on biodiversity and size structure of sharks in the Indian Ocean was conducted at several landing sites and fish markets, i.e. Pelabuhanratu (West Java), Cilacap (Central Java), Kedonganan (Bali) and Tanjung Luar (East Lombok ). Field observation was done from April 2001 to March 2006. The results showed that there were 86 species of sharks belonging to 16 families in the Indian Ocean. The sharks were dominated by family of Carcharhinidae and Squalidae with 24 and 23 species, respectively. A high diversity of sharks was found at Kedonganan-Bali (49 species), at Tanjung Luar (47 species), at Cilacap (32 species) and at Pelabuhanratu (27 species). Size of sharks landed at those landing sites varied in length, the length of Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos was between 90 cm and 170 cm TL, C. sorrah (55-155 cm), C. obscurus (205-295 cm) and P glauca was caught at length between 205-300 cm.

Abstract

To investigate the distribution of Heterocapsa including a harmful species H. circularisquama, cells were surveyed in three Vietnamese coasts, Ha Long Bay, Hue and Phu Quoc Island in 2006. Cells of Heterocapsa were detected from Lang Co Lagoon and adjacent coast in Hue. Cell of the species possesses thecal plates corresponding to the typical of Heterocapsa. Under TEM, body scales approximately 500 nm in diameter are observed. The scale structure is similar to that of H. illdefina, however, number of the marginal spine is different. We concluded it is an undescribed Heterocapsa species possessing a new body scale ultrastructure.

Abstract

The diversity and community structure of macroalgae at Koh Taen, Haad Khanom-Mu Koh Tale Tai, marine National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand were investigated from 1st- 5th October 2005 (preliminary survey). Out of a total of 41 species: 15 species each of green and red algae, 9 species of brown algae and 2 species of blue green algae were found. In the area, subsequently four sites were established for monitoring. Quadrat sampling was employed to assess the abundance of macroalgae. In total sixty quadrats were monitored each month from October 2005 to April 2007. We report the variations of diversity and abundance of macroalgae among sites and seasons and speculate about what might cause such variations.
