Abstract

The waters of West Sumatra are one of the richest in Indonesia, and they have potential in the fisheries sector. They use various types of fishing gear, one of which is boat bagan. One of the most common fishing tools in fishing ports is the boat bagan in the waters of Carocok Tarusan, West Sumatra. The catches usually caught by boats are anchovies and tuna. The research aims to determine boat bagan composition in Carocok Tarusan Waters, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra Province. This research was carried out on 20 July – 20 August 2023. The method used in this research was a survey method, with direct observations in the field and conducting interviews with fishermen. The tools used in this research were scales, a logbook, a cellphone camera, a ruler, a fishfinder, and a refractometer. The materials used are catches from bagan boats. The data is then calculated and differentiated between main catch, bycatch, and discard. The results of this research show that the composition of the main catch of boat charts is anchovies (Stolephorus spp) as much as 875 kg (24.7%) and tuna (Euthynnus affinis) 888 kg (25%). At the same time, fish that are bycatch consists of several types of fish, namely, trevally (Selaroides leptolepis) as much as 248 kg (7%), peperek (Aurigequula fasciata) as much as 710 kg (20%), mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) as much as 457 kg (12.9%), squid (Loligo sp) as much as 104 kg (2.93%), and mackerel scad (Decapterus) as much as 267 kg (7.5%), for the discarded catch, namely pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) as much as 0.25 kg (0.01 %). The discard catch consists of pufferfish

Abstract

The diversity and abundance of gastropods are related to the condition of seagrass. In Teluk Bakau Village, anthropogenic activities such as tourism and fish catching negatively affect the seagrass ecosystem. To understand the diversity and abundance of gastropods in that area, a study was conducted in January-March 2023. Sampling was carried out at three stations: in the area close to human inhabitants (S1), ecotourism area (S2), and in the area with no human activity (S3). In each station, there were three transect lines; in each line, there were five plots (1x1 m2). Gastropod and seagrass samplings were conducted three times. Gastropods and seagrass were collected manually from each plot and then calculated and identified. Results showed eight species of gastropods and four species of seagrass. Abundance of Gastropods was 16.13 ind/m2 in S1, 11.6 ind/m2 in S2 and 50.53 ind/m2 in S3. The most abundant gastropod in the study area was Strombus canarium, which was present in each station. The seagrass density ranged from 51-113.86 plants/m2, and the most common seagrass was Enhalus acoroides, found in each station. The results of a simple linear regression test on the relationship between seagrass density and gastropod abundance was R = 0.975 (very strong)

Abstract

Plastic waste has been identified as an environmental problem by the UN Environment Program because it causes damage to the marine environment, organisms, and critical habitats. One ecosystem vulnerable to plastic waste is mangroves, so the government continues to tackle this problem. Bintan Island has a relatively large mangrove ecosystem, and some of it is included in the vulnerable category, so it is necessary to conduct a study regarding plastic waste and microplastics on Bintan Island. The research aims to identify the abundance of macro and meso debris in the mangrove ecosystem area, the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in sediment in the mangrove ecosystem area, microplastic contamination in gastropods (Telescopium sp), the relationship between mangrove density and macro debris density, and the relationship between macro debris density and mesoderm and microplastic. The research was conducted in October 2021 in Bintan Regency and Tanjung Pinang City. Data was collected using survey methods, microplastic abundance analysis, and correlation analysis. The mass of macro debris in the Tanjungpinang City administrative area is 743 g/m2. It is dominated by plastic, with a percentage of 49%, and meso debris, 94% of the total waste, is dominated by plastic waste. The characteristics of microplastics in sediment at each sampling location consist of fibers, fragments, and films. The most common microplastic contamination in Telescopium sp in the Bintan Regency area was film-type microplastics, totaling 198.33 particles. The relationship between mangrove density and macro debris generation is very strong, with a correlation value of 0.872. The relationship between the abundance of macro debris and meso debris and microplastics was strong, with correlation values of 0.972 and 0.793, respectively

Abstract

The condition of coral reefs is still good on Mapur Island, which benefits community activities such as fishing and marine tourism. However, continuous activities can degrade the coral reef ecosystem, so the government has made it a Marine Conservation Area for the Eastern Region of Bintan Island. This research aims to determine the ecological condition of coral reefs on Mapur Island, the influence of the coral reef ecosystem on socio-economics, as well as the impacts felt before it was designated and after it was designated as a conservation area in Mapur Village, Marine Conservation Area in the Eastern Region of Bintan Island. The results show that increasing live coral cover and decreasing dead coral cover have shown a positive recovery trend. Establishing a coral reef ecosystem conservation area in Mapur Village has several substantial impacts. Even though most people have good knowledge and perception about the function and benefits of conservation areas, primarily as fish habitats, the main challenge still lies in access to infrastructure, which is considered inadequate. The economic impact of establishing a conservation area is not yet significant because most people do not see a substantial increase in income. However, the community feels support for their livelihoods through the sustainability of fish resources. Changes in coral cover on the socio-economic conditions of the people of Mapur Island influence the ecosystem and local communities, fisheries and marine resources, the marine tourism sector of Mapur Village, natural resource management, direct economic influence, diversification of livelihoods, education, and environmental awareness, improving infrastructure and facilities, as well as challenges and limitations

Abstract

The North Sumatra Sea waters are one of the potential areas for tuna (Euthynnus affinis) fisheries. However, fishermen's determination of fishing grounds still relies on traditional methods, such as observing seabirds and water color changes, which are often inaccurate. This study aims to determine chlorophyll-A distribution, the accuracy of tuna fishing areas, and the relationship between chlorophyll-A and catch using satellite imagery. This research is beneficial because it is helpful reference material for the fishing industry and the community regarding the relationship between chlorophyll-a and fishing grounds. This research was conducted from April 05 to April 29, 2024, using Aqua Modis satellite image data. The research method used was a survey method that was analyzed descriptively. The results obtained during the study showed that the highest chlorophyll-a concentration occurred in the period April 22 to April 29, 2024, with an average value of 8.71 mg/m3, and the lowest occurred in the period April 06 to April 13, 2024, with an average value of 4.83 mg/m3. Determination of the estimated fishing grounds for tuna (Euthynnus affinis) with overlay technique by shading the chlorophyll-a criteria area >0.1 mg/m3. The accuracy level of the estimation of tuna fishing grounds has an average accuracy of 52%. Chlorophyll-a and catches in North Sumatra Sea Waters have a very strong relationship with an R-value of 0.99

Abstract

Global warming is one of the issues in the world today, characterized by an increase in the earth's temperature due to greenhouse gases. Mangrove forests are one of the blue carbon parameters that can utilize CO2 for photosynthesis and store it in the form of biomass and sediment well. Sediments serve as a growing medium and a place to accumulate various components, including carbon. Carbon stored in mangrove sediments tends to be greater than in other types of forests. The study aimed to determine sediment carbon stocks based on density and the relationship between mangrove density and estimated carbon stocks in sediments in the mangrove ecosystem of Apar Village, North Pariaman District. Mangrove sediment sampling was carried out using the Purpose Sampling technique, and the data obtained were analyzed using the Loss on Ignition method. The results showed that the highest average carbon stock in sediments was found at station 2 with medium density, which was 215,03 tonnes/ha, followed by station 3, which had a high density, with a value of 197,98 tonnes/ha, and the lowest average carbon stock was found at station 1 with medium density, which was 132,43 ind/ha. Future research is expected to observe carbon stocks in mangrove stands and litter in the Apar Village mangrove ecosystem to obtain more detailed information.

Abstract

Mushroom coral (Fungiidae) is one of the families of hard corals (scleractinian) that live off the substrate (free-living), and most of the mushroom coral habitat is found on the reef slope, which has a substrate of broken coral. This study aimed to analyze the abundance and diversity and determine the differences in abundance of mushroom corals at different depths. This research was conducted in March 2024 in Pasumpahan Island, West Sumatra. This study used the survey method and belt transect method. The sampling location was divided into three stations consisting of 3 sampling points. Station I is located in the tourist area, Station II is in the dock area, and Station III is in the area facing the open sea. The results showed that the highest abundance based on depth was found at station III with a depth of 7 m, namely 4357.14 ind/Ha and the lowest abundance at station II with a depth of 5 m, namely 1285.71 ind/Ha. The t-test results obtained a significant value of less than 0.05, namely 0.048, which means that the abundance of mushroom corals at different depths is significantly different. The diversity index ranges from 1.930 to 2.013, which shows that the level of diversity of mushroom corals in the waters of Pasumpahan Island is classified as moderate
