Abstract

Slipper lobster live on the bottom of sandy and muddy waters at a depth of 10-200 m and are found throughout Indonesian waters. The carapace is the most significant part of its body, of which approximately 50% is a source of waste, but it can be utilized as functional food in the form of chitin and chitosan. One of the determinations of chitin and chitosan quality depends on the demineralization process. The potential of this shrimp has not been fully utilized due to the lack of information on mineral content after the demineralization process. This study aims to obtain information on flour, chitin, and chitosan mineral content. This research used a descriptive method. The parameters observed were yield, water, ash, and mineral content (K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, and P). The results showed that slipper lobster weighed about 80-240 g with a length of 15-25 cm with the yield and mineral content of flour, chitin and chitosan of slipper lobster carapace as follows: yield 29.04%, 41.02%, 33.42%, water 2.36%, 3.96%, 3.25%, ash 52.89%, 8.27%, 3.16%, potassium 55.73 mg/L, 9.09 mg/L, 4.55 mg/L, magnesium 37.23 mg/L, 5.59 mg/L, 5.95 mg/L, calcium 766.87 mg/L, 137.62 mg/L, 126.91 mg/L, sodium 146.62 mg/L, 17.82 mg/L, 10.73 mg/L, iron 12.82 mg/L, 1.89 mg/L, 1.72 mg/L, phosphorus 0.17 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L, 0.05 mg/L.

Abstract

The Dumai City area is one of the regions currently designated as an industrial zone, a transportation route, and a busy international port. This situation puts significant pressure on the marine waters of Dumai City due to the waste produced. The primary source of marine pollution comes from oil spills, whether from ship operations, offshore drilling, or ship accidents. Pollution from oil spills in the ocean is a significant source of marine contamination that has consistently been a focus of public attention. This study aims to analyze the total oil content, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Total Organic Matter (TOM), as well as the effect of total oil content on DO, BOD, and TOM. The survey method used in this research involves collecting data from DO, BOD, TOM, and oil content measurements. The total oil content in Dumai City waters ranges from 0.14485 – 0.30214 ppm. The total oil content below the threshold still supports aquatic biota and does not damage the ecosystem. The DO content in Dumai waters ranges from 3.6 to 6.8 mg/L, and some measurements are below the threshold required to support marine biota. The BOD content of Dumai waters ranges from 10 to 11.3 mg/L, meaning that biological activity is still within optimal limits. The TOM content ranges from 17.38 – 35.22 mg/L, which does not support the life of aquatic biota, and there is potential for organic material pollution

Abstract

Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypopthalmus) is well known in Asia, specifically in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Burma, and Brunei Darussalam. Currently, catfish have been exported to almost all countries in the world. This study aims to analyze the chemical composition of processed catfish by-products and find alternatives for their economic utilization. The research method used is the experimental method, namely conducting experiments on using processed by-products of catfish as food raw materials. Furthermore, quality analysis was performed on processed by-products and raw food materials, namely proximate analysis and amino acid profile. Proximate analysis of processed catfish by-products (meat attached to bones, belly fat, fish bones, and offal) includes protein, fat, water content, carbohydrates, and amino acids. These by-products are still classified as functional. Therefore, this research utilizes these by-products in food raw materials. The chemical analysis (proximate) results of the products produced showed numbers that meet SNI quality standards as food products. By-products of catfish processing (fillets and smoked catfish) can be utilized as food raw materials in the form of fish concentrate flour, fish bone meal, and fish oil

Abstract

The presence of plastic waste in the ocean significantly impacts pollution. Lightweight plastic is transported by currents and waves, eventually accumulating in sediment. Its slow decomposition is influenced by composition and environmental conditions. Using a survey method at three stations in Padang City’s coastal waters, this study aims to investigate the composition and quantity of microplastics in sediment. Variations in microplastic levels across stations were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA, and differences between dry and wet zones and depths of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm were examined with Independent Samples T-tests. Three microplastic categories were identified: fibers, fragments, and films, with an average concentration of 100.55 particles/kg. The Ulak Karang Beach estuary exhibited the highest particle concentration (129.16 particles/kg), whereas Banana Beach, characterized by minimal human activity, displayed the lowest concentration. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the abundance of microplastics between stations. It was observed that the dry zone exhibited a higher concentration of particles (125.00 particles/kg) in contrast to the wet zone (76.66 particles/kg). In the 0-10 cm depth range, there was a higher abundance of microplastics (111.66 particles/kg) compared to the 10-20 cm depth range (89.44 particles/kg). The abundance of microplastics was significantly different (p<0.05) between the two coastal zones but not significantly different (p>0.05) between depths. Several possible causes of these differences were examined, but further research is needed to investigate other oceanographic factors and gain a more comprehensive understanding

Abstract

This study was conducted in the waters of Kundur Island, Karimun Regency, Riau Islands Province, to assess the type, abundance, and diversity of epiphytic diatoms on Rhizophora sp stems and Nypa sp fronds using a survey method and purposive sampling for station selection. One-way ANOVA, LSD tests, and the Independent Samples T-test were employed for data analysis. The research identified 11 species of epiphytic diatoms: 9 from the Bacillariophyceae class (including Navicula sp, Pleurosigma sp, Pinnularia sp, and Skeletonema costatum); Isthmia sp from the Coscinodiscophycidae class, and Chaetoceros sp from the Bacillariophyceae class. The results indicated a higher abundance of diatoms on Nypa sp fronds (17,822.94 ind/cm²) than on Rhizophora sp stems (13,884.16 ind/cm²). Significant differences in diatom abundance were observed between stations on Rhizophora sp. stems, particularly between stations II and III. In contrast, no significant differences were found between stations I and II or stations I and III. No significant differences in diatom abundance were observed between stations on Nypa sp fronds. The T-test results revealed significant vertical differences in diatom abundance between Rhizophora sp stems and Nypa sp fronds. Overall, the diversity of epiphytic diatoms was categorized as medium on both Rhizophora sp stems and Nypa sp fronds in the waters of Kundur Island, Karimun Regency, Riau Islands Province. This study contributes valuable insights into the ecological dynamics of epiphytic diatoms in mangrove and nipa palm habitats.
