Abstract

Organic matter is one indicator of environmental fertility both on land and at sea. The content of organic matter in a certain amount can be useful for aquatic biota, but if the amount of organic matter exceeds the assimilation capacity of the waters, it can cause a disturbance. This study aims to determine the organic matter content of water and sediment at high and low tide conditions in the waters of the east coast of Bengkalis Island and to determine the relationship. The method used is a survey method that is carried out in the field directly to collect data and samples, which are then taken to the laboratory for analysis. The results showed that the organic matter content of water at high tide was 17.38-25.28 mg/L and at low tide, it was 29.63-35.55 mg/L. The organic matter content of sediments at high tide conditions ranged from 2.28-5.37% and at low tide, conditions ranged from 3.46-8.62%. These conditions indicate that the organic matter content of water and sediment has not passed the predetermined threshold. The results of the analysis of the relationship between the organic matter content of water and sediment at high tide conditions with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.533 with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.730 and at low tide with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.713 with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.844. The type of sediment that dominates the waters of the East Coast of Bengkalis Island is mud.

Abstract

The entry of nutrients (nitrate, phosphate and silicate) from land-based anthropogenic activities (industry, agriculture and household waste) through rivers can potentially cause changes in water quality and will affect fertility and aquatic organisms such as phytoplankton. These three nutrients play an important role in the living tissue cells of living organisms and in the photosynthesis process. This study aims to analyze the effect of nitrate, phosphate and silicate content on the plankton abundance in the estuary of the Batang Arau River, Padang, West Sumatra. The method used is a survey method, the determination of the sampling station is done by purposive sampling, data were analysed by Excel and SPSS Software. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, the nitrate content ranged from 0,117 to 0,485 mg/l, phosphate content from 0,239 to 0,704 mg/l, and silicate content from 0,031 to 0,685 mg/l. Planktonic diatom abundance in the estuary of the Batang Arau River ranges from 194 to 750 ind/l. The results of the statistical analysis of the effect of nitrate, phosphate and silicate with an abundance of diatoms are expressed by the equation Y = 743,019 - 481,828Nitrate - 199,552Phosphate - 172,971Silicate. This equation explains that the effect of nitrate, phosphate and silicate content on diatom abundance has an inverse or negative relationship, where nitrate, phosphate and silicate levels increase, the diatom abundance will decrease. The difference of content and the relationship between parameters analyzed in this research are discussed.
