Abstract

The Mesjid River Estuary in Dumai City is an area prone to sediment accumulation due to the influence of river hydrology dynamics and interaction with oceanographic processes in coastal waters. The sedimentation phenomenon that occurs has a direct implication on the rate of estuary siltation and sediment transport patterns that affect the balance of the aquatic ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the sedimentation rate and sediment characteristics at the Mesjid River Estuary and examine the impact of sedimentation on siltation and sediment transport patterns. This study was conducted in December 2024 at the Mesjid River Estuary, Dumai City, with the aim of analyzing the sedimentation rate and its implications for siltation and sediment transport. Sedimentation in estuarine areas is an important phenomenon that affects changes in channel morphology, navigation capacity, and coastal ecosystem balance. Data collection was conducted at six research stations from upstream to downstream by recording water quality parameters, sediment characteristics, sedimentation rates, total suspended solids (TSS), and sediment transport. The results showed that the sedimentation rate ranged from 7.0 to 10.3 cm/year, with an average of 8.77 cm/year, which is relatively high compared to other estuaries in Southeast Asia. The average TSS value of 135 mg/l indicates a significant supply of sediment from land erosion and anthropogenic activities, while the sediment transport load reached 338.2 tons/year, confirming the role of the estuary as a center of material accumulation. These conditions accelerate siltation, limit the efficiency of maritime transportation, and alter coastal morphological dynamics, necessitating active management strategies and sustainable mitigation to maintain ecosystem functions and support the sustainability of local economic activities

Abstract

Giant gourami (Osphronemus gouramy) is one of Indonesia's most valuable freshwater fish species; however, its aquaculture development is constrained by slow growth and low survival rates. Improving water quality through the use of aquatic plants such as Lemna sp. and the application of eco-enzymes is essential. The development of Lemna sp. depends on nutrient availability, especially nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and potassium (K), which can be enhanced by adding an eco-enzyme. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different eco-enzyme concentrations on Lemna sp. biomass production, specific growth rate, and water quality parameters in giant gourami culture systems. The research was conducted using an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications: P0 (0 ml/L), P1 (1.5 ml/L), P2 (2.5 ml/L), P3 (3.5 ml/L), and P4 (4.5 ml/L) of eco-enzyme concentration. The results showed that eco-enzyme administration significantly influenced Lemna sp. biomass. The best results were observed in treatment P4 (4.5 ml/L), which produced the highest Lemna sp. biomass (132.87 g) and specific growth rate (4.47%). Optimal water quality was recorded in treatment P4, with temperature ranging from 26.1–29.8°C, pH 5.5–8.38, dissolved oxygen 3.10–6.42 mg/L, phosphate 0.3097–0.3872 mg/L, nitrate 0.5517–10.2414 mg/L, and CO₂ 17–40 mg/L. These findings demonstrate that eco-enzyme application at 4.5 mL/L effectively enhances Lemna sp. productivity as a natural biofilter while simultaneously improving giant gourami growth performance and survival

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to analyze mangrove community structure, estimate carbon storage and CO₂ sequestration potential, assess the economic value of CO₂ sequestration, and formulate management strategies for mangrove forests in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir Regency. This research was conducted in October 2024 in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The method applied was a survey-based approach. Sampling stations were determined using purposive sampling. Mangrove community structure data were collected using 10 m × 10 m quadrat transect plots. A total of six observation stations were established, with three plots per transect. The potential carbon stock of the mangrove ecosystem was calculated based on carbon content from trunk biomass, roots, litter, and sediment. Biomass carbon estimation utilized species-specific allometric equations. The results recorded seven mangrove species: Avicennia alba, A. eucalyptifolia, A. lanata, Bruguiera parviflora, Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, and Sonneratia alba. The highest relative density and the highest relative frequency were recorded for A.alba at Station I (75%) and Station II (42.86%). The highest relative dominance was recorded for Sonneratia alba at Station V (52.05%). The highest Importance Value Index (IVI) was observed for Avicennia alba at Station I (151.15%). The mangrove ecosystem in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict has an average carbon stock potential of 382.37 tons/ha, with an estimated CO₂ sequestration potential of 1,277.21 tons per hectare, totalling 15,893,618.87 tons. The estimated average economic value of carbon sequestration is IDR 1,081,274,726/ha, equivalent to IDR 13,455,438,919,367. Sustainable mangrove ecosystem management as a contribution to climate change mitigation can be implemented through the following strategies: ecosystem rehabilitation and protection, strengthening governance and law enforcement, community empowerment and alternative livelihood development, increased awareness and cross-sectoral coordination, and continuous monitoring and research

Abstract

Potential of marine photosynthetic bacteria (MPB) and their biopigment extracts as antimicrobial agents against two major aquatic pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus. The research was conducted from February to April 2025. Six MPB isolates were cultured under laboratory conditions to induce pigment production. Biopigments, natural pigments produced by microorganisms, exhibit antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Pigment extraction was performed using acetone and ether, followed by evaporation to obtain concentrated pigment extracts. The antimicrobial activity of both MPB suspensions and their biopigment extracts was tested using the disc diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) media. The results showed that the MPB suspensions produced no inhibition zones against either pathogen. In contrast, the biopigment extracts demonstrated weak antimicrobial activity, with inhibition zone diameters ranging from 1 to 4 mm, a classification of weak. However, the ability of biopigment extracts to inhibit bacterial growth, even at low levels, suggests the presence of bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial activity. These findings suggest that MPB-derived biopigments may serve as a natural alternative in future antimicrobial development

Abstract

Cosmos caudatus is a herb that benefits overall health. This study aimed to determine the effect of C. caudatus leaf supplementation in feed on blood glucose levels in catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. This study was conducted from March to August 2024 at the Marine Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. The method used was an experimental design employing a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications: negative control (NC, no supplementation, no infection), positive control (PC, no supplementation, with A. hydrophila bacterial infection), supplementation with C. caudatus at doses of 10 g/kg (T1), 15 g/kg (T2), and 20 g/kg (T3) of feed, all tested against A. hydrophila. The fish fry used weighed 5.00 ± 1.00 g and were reared for 75 days in 100-L tanks integrated with an aquaponics system. The fish were fed the experimental feed for 60 days before challenge with A. hydrophila bacteria (10⁸ CFU/mL, intramuscular injection) and continued for 14 days after challenge. Blood glucose levels were measured at the beginning (day 1), day 30, pre-challenge (day 60), and post-challenge (day 75). The results showed that adding basil leaves to the feed affected blood glucose (P<0.05). The addition of C. Caudatus leaves maintained glucose homeostasis within the range of 68.33±10.59-79.67±7.77 mg/dL. These findings indicate that C. Caudatus supplementation effectively prevents hyperglycemia caused by A. hydrohila infection in striped catfish and suggest its potential as a natural immunostimulant and metabolic modulator in aquaculture

Abstract

Siak Regency, located in Riau Province, is one of the areas facing a serious threat of abrasion, especially in coastal areas bordering the Lalang Strait. Mengkapan Village, one of the coastal villages in Siak Regency, has been significantly affected by abrasion. Based on initial observations, the abrasion rate in this area is 2-5 m per year, which poses a threat. Development planning policies play a crucial role in addressing the abrasion phenomenon in Mengkapan Village, Siak Regency, Riau Province. With good planning, development will align with community expectations. Based on satellite imagery analyses in 2020 and 2025, Mengkapan Village experienced abrasion at a rate of 6.43 m/year. Development planning policies in coastal abrasion mitigation must be an integral part of a sustainable regional development strategy. Through a combination of structural, non-structural, and collaborative approaches, along with strong policy support, coastal abrasion can be minimized. Synergy among the government, community, business world, and academia are key to realizing a resilient, productive, and sustainable coastline for future generations.
