Abstract

Tidal lake is a coastal lake whose water condition is influenced by the dynamics of tides. This lake serves as a habitat for a diverse array of aquatic biota, including freshwater, brackish, and marine species. This study aims to describe the distribution of larvae, juveniles, crustacea, and adult fish in the context of the coastal lake's role as a nursery and feeding ground. The study was conducted from September 2018 to August 2019, at Lake Siombak, a coastal lake located in the Belawan River estuary along the northern coast of Medan City, Indonesia. Data were collected at high and low tides during the full moon. Larva and juvenile fish? sampling used larval nets with a mesh size of 300 μm and a diameter of 60 cm, while adult fish were caught with gill nets with a mesh size of 1 inch and a dimension of 10 × 2 m. Crustaceans were captured with traps. The research found nine families consisting of six fish families, two crustacean family, and one cnidarian family. The abundance of larvae and juveniles found was 17 to 1797 individuals per 100 m-3. At the high tides, the composition of Ulmaridae (jellyfish: Aurelia aurita) that was caught reached 57.7%. While at low tides, there were more Penaeid families in the Mysis phase, reaching 78.6%. The abundance of Mysis (Penaeid) and jellyfish indicates that the lake serves as a nursery ground for post larvae crustaceans and jellyfish. The presence of adult fish migrating from the sea and Belawan River indicates that the lake functions as a feeding ground in the Belawan estuary.  Therefore, Lake Siombak still plays a crucial role as a nursery and feeding ground for fish, crustaceans, and jellyfish originating from the Belawan River estuary and its surrounding areas. Preserving the sustainability of this lake is crucial to ensuring the continued productivity of fisheries in the Belawan River estuary.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the abundance and diversity of mangrove crabs (Scylla spp.) in the mangrove area of Jambu Beach, Pajo District, Dompu Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The research was conducted from October to December 2024 using a quantitative descriptive survey method. Sampling was carried out purposively at three stations with different substrate types: mud, clay, and black mud. Specimens were captured using collapsible traps for eight hours with three replications. The identification results revealed three species of Scylla spp., namely S. serrata, S. paramamosain, and S. tranquebarica. The total abundance ranged from 0.36 to 0.48 ind/m², with the highest found at Station 2 (0.48 ind/m²). The diversity index (H’) ranged from 0.349–0.995, the evenness index (E) from 0.318–0.906, and the dominance index (D) from 0.037–0.089. The highest diversity (H’ = 0.995) and evenness (E = 0.906) were recorded at Station 3, while the highest dominance occurred at Station 2 (D = 0.089). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA showed significant differences in abundance among stations (F = 24.818; p = 0.001). These results indicate that variations in substrate, salinity (30–32 ppt), temperature (28–29°C), and soil pH (7.1–7.3) influence the abundance and community structure of Scylla spp. in the mangrove ecosystem. The findings provide baseline data for the sustainable management of mangrove crab populations and conservation of coastal ecosystems in the Dompu region.

Abstract

Diatoms are unicellular microalgae that play a vital role in freshwater ecosystems and are widely recognized as effective bioindicators of aquatic environmental conditions. This paper presents a literature review and bibliometric analysis of the composition and distribution of diatoms in lakes, focusing on oxbow lakes. Bibliometric data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using the R software with the Bibliometrix package. The results revealed a rising trend in publications over the past two decades, especially concerning climate change, habitat degradation, and environmental monitoring. The Journal of Paleolimnology and researchers such as John P. Smol have emerged as a leading contributors in terms of publication volume and scientific impact. Furthermore, oxbow lakes remain underexplored despite their ecological importance, indicating significant opportunities for future research. This study emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to support sustainable conservation and management of freshwater ecosystems.

Abstract

The textile industry supports the global economy, but it produces dye-rich wastewater that poses a threat to ecosystems and human health. Conventional treatment methods are expensive, energy-demanding, and often unsustainable. This study examines global research trends in the application of ecotechnology for textile wastewater treatment from 2004 to 2024. Data were collected from Scopus on August 9, 2025, and analyzed using the PRISMA, Excel, and VOSviewer tools. A total of 413 peer-reviewed English papers were reviewed based on the keywords “ecotechnology” and “textile wastewater treatment.” Research output has grown significantly since 2016, driven primarily by India and China. Core topics include constructed wetlands, adsorption, and phytoremediation, while recent studies highlight advanced materials, photocatalysis, nutrient recovery, and water conservation. These developments show a shift toward hybrid systems and circular economy models. Most papers appear in multidisciplinary journals, reflecting the broad and interconnected nature of the field. Yet, significant gaps remain in linking technology with social, policy, and behavioral aspects. Stronger collaboration across disciplines is needed to connect innovation, governance, and local engagement. Such efforts will help make ecotechnology a more sustainable and scalable solution for managing textile wastewater.

Abstract

Sediment ponds in coal mining operations serve as critical infrastructure for wastewater management. A major challenge in their operation is excessive sediment accumulation, which is often difficult to anticipate accurately, especially when relying solely on theoretical calculations. Such circumstances highlight the importance of an approach that is not solely theoretical, but also considers the actual dynamics observed in the field. The coal mining sediment pond examined in this study was initially constructed to accommodate a catchment area of 205 Ha, with a useful life of 10 years. However, the pond has reached full capacity in less than five years, 53% earlier than expected, indicating the need for re-evaluation, especially as the catchment area is planned to expand to 885 Ha. This study aims to evaluate, compare, and recalculate the sediment pond’s capacity under expanded catchment conditions (885 Ha), by integrating field-based measurements and theoretical sediment yield methods to produce a more representative design. The methods employed include the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), Lane & Kalinske’s Approach, Einstein’s Approach, Brook’s Approach, and Chang, Simons, and Richardson’s Approach. RUSLE utilizes secondary data, while the other methods incorporate both primary and secondary data. The results show a wide range of sediment transport estimates, from 20,184 m3 using Einstein’sto 507,075 m3 using Chang’s. Among the evaluated methods, Lane and Kalinske, as well as Brook, produced sediment volume estimates that closely matched field-based measurements, making them suitable for field conditions. RUSLE produced a lower-bound estimate, while Einstein and Chang’s method deviated significantly from the observed range. These findings underscore the importance of integrating field measurements with theoretical models to enhance the reliability of sediment-yield estimation and support informed decision-making in sediment pond.
