Abstract

Coral reefs are massive piles of sediment from calcium carbonate produced by the phylum cnidaria, class Anthozoa, and order Madreporaria, with the addition of calcareous algae and other organisms that produce calcium carbonate. One group of biota that lives in association with coral reefs and plays a vital role in the coral reef ecosystem is the Chaetodontidae fish. The taking of the Chaetodontidae family as research material is because the coral fish of the Chaetodontidae family are indicator fish for coral reef health that can assess, monitor and predict the condition of coral reefs. Given the importance of the function and the existence of coral reefs. This study aimed to determine the condition of coral reef cover, analyze the abundance of reef fish in the Chaetodotidae family, and determine the relationship between coral reef cover and the abundance of reef fish in the Chaetodotidae family. This study was conducted in December 2024 in Sikuai Island, West Sumatra. This study used survey methods, such as UVC (underwater visual census) and UPT (underwater photo transect). The research location was divided into three stations in the southern part of Sikuai Island because the southern part is relatively protected from large waves during the west wind season. Station I is next to Sirandah Island, Station II is in the harbour area, and Station III is in the abandoned ship area. The analysis showed that the highest percentage of coral cover was found at Station III, namely 45.13%, and the lowest rate was found at Station I, 6.47%. The calculation of reef fish abundance showed that the highest abundance of reef fish was found at station III, namely 5000 ind / ha and the abundance of reef fish at station I was 6.47%.

Abstract

Buruk Bakul Village has a mangrove distribution covering approximately 168 hectares. However, coastal abrasion, which reaches an average of 4 meters per year, directly impacts biodiversity, including a decline in gastropod populations due to loss of shelter and food sources. One affected species is the red-eyed snail (Cerithidea obtusa), which plays a vital role in the food chain of coastal ecosystems. This study aims to determine the practice of silvofishery on C. obtusa and environmental quality, as well as changes in environmental quality due to silvofishery practices. Sampling technique: Sampling was done using the stratified random sampling method. The results showed that Silvofishery practices integrating mangrove conservation with red-eyed snail cultivation in Buruk Bakul Village showed varying results depending on environmental conditions. Plot 3 recorded the best growth with a length of 1.22 cm and a weight of 1.91 g, which was supported by the fine mud substrate and high organic matter content. In contrast, plot 1 showed the lowest results with a length of 0.77 cm and a weight of 0.48 g. Environmental conditions such as soil pH, temperature, and organic matter significantly influence snail growth, with soil pH and temperature as the dominant factors.

Abstract

Global climate change caused by increasing atmospheric CO₂ emissions threatens coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests that function as carbon sinks. Kedabu Rapat Village in Meranti Islands Regency has implemented a mangrove rehabilitation program since 2017 to overcome coastal abrasion and restore the ecosystem. This study examines mangrove density, organic carbon stock in sediment, the relationship between density and carbon stock, and variations in carbon stock between sediment depths. The study was conducted at three stations according to the year of rehabilitation using a survey method with sediment sampling as deep as 30 cm, Organic carbon was analyzed using the LOI method. The study's results identified one mangrove species, Avicennia alba, from the Acanthaceae family, which dominated all observation stations. Vegetation density is classified as very dense, averaging 7,911 ind/ha, with the highest density at Station 1 (8,935 ind/ha). All stations' average sediment carbon stock reached 117.23 tons/ha, with the highest value at Station 3 (135.19 tons/ha) and the lowest at Station 1 (96.97 tons/ha). Statistical analysis revealed a weak correlation (r = 0.218; p > 0.05) between mangrove density and sediment carbon stock, indicating that other environmental factors, such as sedimentation and sediment input, play a more significant role. The distribution of carbon stock by depth was relatively uniform, ranging from 38.25 to 40.58 tons/ha. These results indicate that external factors are also determinants of carbon absorption rates

Abstract

Plastics in the environment would eventually be degraded into plastic granules which are called microplastics. In recent years, microplastics have been spread widely not only inland but also in aquatic habitats, where averagely 5% of the plastic produced each year will end up in marine waters. The purpose of this study which was conducted in October to November 2020 was to identify the type and abundance of microplastics in the sediment as well as its possible relationship with the sediment organic matter in Dumai waters. Sediment samples were taken from Dumai coastal waters by using purposive sampling method. Identification of the types and abundance of microplastics as well as the analysis of sediment organic content were carried out in the Laboratory of Chemical Oceanography, Department of Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. Microplastic and sediment particles were separated using 150 ml saturated NaCl solution. The types of microplastics found are fiber, fragment and films, where fiber was found to be the most commonly found (36.43%), followed by fragments (31.97%) and films (31.60%), respectively. No significant correlation found between microplastic abundance and the sediment organic content in Dumai coastal waters.

Abstract

The existence of phytoplankton in the aquatic environment greatly affects aquatic life itsself. Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton is responsible for producing oxygen and nutrients, especially for other marine organisms. Furthermore, phytoplankton can be indicators of fertility and the quality of an aquatic ecosystem. The waters of Carocok Tarusan beach have congested anthropogenic activities, like shipyard and shipping, tourism, and domestic activities. This of course greatly affects the existence of phytoplankton which is very dependent on environmental conditions. This study aims to determine the structure of the phytoplankton community and its relation to the characteristics along with the quality of the waters in Carocok Tarusan beach. Phytoplankton samples were collected by using plankton net number 25 at three stations that have been determined by the purposive sampling method. The results showed that the temperature values ranged from 29.3-29.7ºC, salinity 27.7-31.3‰, brightness 1.8-3 m, pH 7, 0.3-0.6 m/s. There are 12 species from 3 classes found. The most common species found were Navicula sp, Synedra ulna sp., and Isthmia sp. The average abundance of phytoplankton at each station is 57.86-92.58 Ind/L. The results of the ANOVA test on the abundance of phytoplankton showed a significant value of 0.108, which means the P value> 0.05, this indicates that there is no significant difference in the abundance of phytoplankton between stations. The value of the species diversity index (H') of phytoplankton has an average value of 1.7436 - 2.0028. The Uniformity Index (E) has an average value ranging from 0.1393 to 0.1464. Meanwhile, the phytoplankton dominance index shows an average value of 0.2661 – 0.3191.
