Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to analyze fish biodiversity and evaluate physicochemical water conditions supporting fish communities and the habitat sustainability of the false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) in a tropical freshwater river ecosystem. Methodology: This study used a purposive sampling method at three observation stations. Fish samples were collected using gill nets, fishing rods, traps, and traditional fishing gear. Water quality parameters were measured in situ using GPS, thermometer, pH meter, Secchi disk, stopwatch, and current-flow method, while dissolved oxygen and heavy metals were analyzed ex situ using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Fish identification referred to Kottelat in 1993. Data were analyzed using Shannon–Wiener diversity index, evenness index, similarity index, dominance index, and Pearson correlation analysis with SPSS version 22. Main Findings: A total of 15 fish species were identified within the freshwater ecosystem. Fish diversity at all stations was categorized as moderate, with high evenness, high similarity, and low dominance values indicating relatively stable ecological conditions. Water temperature ranged from 28–29°C, dissolved oxygen from 6.4–6.8 mg/L, and pH remained at 6. Water transparency showed the strongest positive correlation with fish biodiversity (r² = 0.948), followed by dissolved oxygen and current velocity. Heavy metal concentrations remained below environmental quality standards. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides an integrated ecological assessment linking fish biodiversity, physicochemical water quality, and habitat suitability for the false gharial within a tropical freshwater ecosystem. This research highlights the ecological relationship between aquatic biodiversity and prey-resource availability supporting false gharial habitat sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to assess the ecological condition, degradation status, and environmental suitability of mangrove ecosystems in the Kepetingan Coastal Area, East Java, Indonesia, and to identify stakeholder-based restoration priorities to support sustainable mangrove landscape conservation and ecosystem recovery. Methodology: Field surveys were conducted at three sampling stations representing settlement, estuarine, and abandoned aquaculture pond areas. Mangrove vegetation was assessed using the line transect–plot method. Vegetation density, frequency, dominance, and Importance Value Index (IVI) were analyzed. Water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH were measured using field instruments. Mangrove degradation status was evaluated using critical mangrove land assessment criteria, while restoration priorities were determined through SWOT analysis based on stakeholder interviews and questionnaires. Main Findings: Five mangrove species were identified, with Rhizophora stylosa, Avicennia marina, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza showing the highest ecological importance. Tree density ranged from 300–600 trees ha⁻¹, indicating degraded ecosystem conditions. The critical land assessment produced a score of 285, classifying the area as critical mangrove land. Mangrove cover declined from 140.54 ha in 2010 to 109.20 ha in 2015. Environmental parameters remained suitable for restoration, and SWOT analysis identified the Weakness–Opportunity (WO) strategy as the highest restoration priority. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates ecological condition assessment, environmental quality evaluation, mangrove degradation analysis, and stakeholder-based SWOT planning within a single restoration framework. The approach provides a comprehensive basis for determining restoration priorities and contributes to the development of integrated mangrove landscape conservation strategies in degraded tropical coastal ecosystems.
