Abstract

The study was conducted from March to May 2021 which aims to identify the types, abundance of microplastics and compare the abundance of microplastics between stations in the waters of the Long Strait of High Cliff Subdistrict. Survey methods are applied and PVC pipes are used to collect sediment samples from three different stations with three sampling points at each station. The types of microplastics found are fragments with the most jumblah with film and fiber. The most widely found types are fragments, followed by film and fiber. The abundance of microplastics at Tanjung Harapan Port (5900.00 partkels /kg of dry sediment) is higher than the mouth of the Dorak coastal river (5306.67 partkels/kg of dry sediment) and Banglas Village Mangrove Ecotourism (4120.00 partikels/kg of dry sediment). The results showed that the abundance of microplastics between stations differed significantly. Microplastic differences based on further independent test samples t-test showed that each station compared to mangrove ecotourism area will be significantly different, while between Tanjung Harapan Port and the mouth of the Dorak coastal river showed no significant difference

Abstract

This research was conducted in December 2023 to determine the type and content of microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) by taking samples from the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach, Meranti Islands. The sampling location was based on the purposive sampling method divided into residential areas, fishing ports, and mangrove areas. Blood cockle samples from the three locations were selected for only large sizes (2.5-3.7cm). The water quality parameters at the sampling location were measured for temperature, salinity, and pH, indicating that the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach are still natural habitats for blood cockles. Three types of microplastics were found in blood cockles, namely fiber, film, and fragments, with an average abundance of 56.33 particles/ind (p>0.05). Further research is needed regarding size differences and relationships with environmental parameters

Abstract

This study aims to see the effect of giving noni extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) on the quality of spermatozoa of mice (Mus musculus L.). This study was conducted using an experimental method, with a completely randomized design (RAL), 3 treatments with 5 replicates with 15 male mice divided into three treatment groups, namely the control group (P0), the treatment group with a concentration of 0.3 g/BW (P1), and the treatment group with a concentration of 0.6 g/BW (P2) which then the data were analyzed using ANOVA. This research was conducted from March 2 to April 4, 2023. Observations of the effect of giving noni extract were made by making wet preparations of mice sperm and then observing under a microscope. Based on the research conducted, it was found that noni extract had a different effect from each concentration on motility and morphology in sperm. From the research, it can be concluded that the higher the concentration of noni extract given to mice will reduce the quality of sperm in mice However, at a concentration of 0.3 g/BB, it was found that noni had a positive effect on sperm morphology and motility in mice (Mus musculus L).
