Abstract

There are a large variety and quite abundant types of small pelagic fish that have high economic value in the Sulawesi Sea. One of which is the blue scad fish or commonly known as malalugis (Decapterus macarellus). This study aims to analyze and determine the status of scad fisheries management and to develop recommendations in the management of scad fisheries in the waters of Sulawesi Sea, North Sulawesi Province. The evaluation of fishery management status is carried out using multi-criteria analysis (MCA) through the development of composite index of each indicator of Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM). The results showed that, in general, the status of scad fisheries management in North Sulawesi Province, was in ‘good’ category, specifically reviewed from the domain of fish resources fall into the category of “medium”, habitat and ecosystem “good”, fishing techniques “good”, economy “not good”, social “medium” and institutional “good”. Management actions take precedence over domains that have “poor” indicator values. Priority management action is implemented in the economic domain, followed by the domain of fish resources, social, institutional and fishing techniques.Indonesian title: Pengelolaan perikanan ikan layang (Decapterus spp.) di perairan Laut Sulawesi, Provinsi Sulawesi Utara, menggunakan EAFM

Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has implications for all aspects of fishery activities in Indonesia, one of them is negative impact on the supply chain of the fishery business. To find out more about this impact, the study was aimed to determine the condition, in general, of tuna capture fisheries in the Talaud Islands Regency before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic, and to find out the comparison of operational costs and production of fresh tuna at the level of fishermen and intermediary traders in the area in both periods. Data collection was carried out in April 2020 to March 2021. Three districts in the area were selected as research locations, namely Salibabu, Gemeh, and South Essang. Surveys using questionnaires were conducted on respondents at predetermined locations. Comparative analysis using t-test was applied in this study. The results showed that the pandemic has caused, among other things, a decline in fish prices, effect in community's economy, and a decrease of tuna production. Tuna production is particularly important because while it affected the production, the operational costs remained constant. This occurs at all levels, both at the level of fishermen and at the level of intermediary traders. It can be concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on fresh tuna fishing activities in the area where fresh tuna production has decreased and tuna buying traders are not operating. In particular, the operational costs of catching tuna at the fisherman's level are the same, both before and during the pandemic. Meanwhile, tuna production has decreased dramatically during the pandemic. This also happens at the level of intermediary traders.Indonesian title: Komparasi biaya operasional dan produksi produk tuna segar pada masa sebelum dan selama Pandemi Covid-19 di Kabupaten Kepulauan Talaud, Provinsi Sulawesi Utara

Abstract

This research aims to study the anatomical structure of macroalgae. Sample of macroalga was collected by using Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method with sampling quadrat. Macroalgae samples were dried and separated from the roots, stems, leaves and receptacles (if present). Samples were cut transversely and longitudinally at each section and observed under binoculared microscope of Olympus CX with monitor. Based on the histology, anatomical structure of macroalgae species can be divided into two tissues from outside to inside, namely cortex and medullary cells. The cortex is composed of one layer or more. The cortex is the area between the epidermis and the central column. The medulla cells only have one layer which is the largest layer. Based on the observation result of cells type from observed spesies Eucheuma denticilatum, Gracilaria arcuata, Hydropuntia edulis, G. salicornia, Hypnea valentiae, Turbinaria deccurens, and T. ornata, it shows that cells of medulla become small toward cortex.Indonesian title:  Karakteristik anatomi jenis makroalga dari Pulau Bombuyanoi, Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Timur, Sulawesi Utara

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the condition (location, depth, and thickness) of the aquifer, to assess the humidity level using the NDW index, and to determine the relationship between aquifer conditions and the sustainability of the geothermal system using the geoelectrical method of resistivity in the North Langowan geothermal area. The comparison between rock layer resistivity data and spectral values based on geological-hydrogeological maps was carried out to determine the relationship between aquifer conditions and humidity levels in the geothermal area to the continuity of the geothermal system in the Tompaso region. The data was processed using IP2WIN and ILWIS programs. The results showed that at the research site there were semi-confined aquifers and free aquifers, which were indicated by low resistivity values. It can be concluded that the aquifer in the North Langowan geothermal area was at a depth ranging from 0 m to 16 m with a thickness ranging from 3.98 to 12 m, moderate wetness, and has a good relationship in supporting the continuity of the Tompaso geothermal system.Indonesian title: Analisis akuifer, tingkat kelembaban dengan nilai resistivitas geolistrik, dan Index NDW di daerah panas bumi Langowan Utara

Abstract

High concentrations of chlorophyll-a can be used to predict where fish gather. On the other hand, tropical cyclones are one of the triggering factors for vertical stirring and upwelling that cause fertility of waters. The Sangihe Island area is not an effective area for the formation of tropical cyclones. However, due to its geographical location with a tropical cyclone area and trajectory, the potential for disturbances caused by cyclones is impactful on Sangihe Island. The distribution of wind speed, salinity, sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration can be detected by satellite remote sensing imagery. This study aims to analyze the impact of Tropical Cyclone Amang on the variability of wind speed, salinity, sea surface temperature and on the concentration of chlorophyll-a in Sangihe Island. This study useswind speed, salinity, sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a data during the Amang Tropical Cyclone (January 6-27, 2019) from the AQUA-MODIS satellite imagery. The results show that the relationship between wind speed and chlorophyll-a concentration has impact on other parameters where both parameters showed a strong correlation value. It was also showed on the relationship between sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a.However, the relationship between salinity and chlorophyll-a concentration showed lowest effect among those parameters.Indonesian title: Dampak siklon tropis Amang terhadap variabilitas kecepatan angin, salinitas, suhu permukaan laut, dan hubungannya dengan klorofil-a di perairan laut Pulau Sangihe

Abstract

Central Java is one of the regions in Indonesia with a lot of water resources that must be appropriately managed. In addition, metal content in water bodies in Central Java must now be assessed to prevent health impacts that may be measurable. One of the methods to analyze the management of water bodies is the water quality index method. This study aimed to examine the water quality index due to metal contamination in water bodies in Central Java. Metal measurements were carried out using the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry) method. The value of the water quality index using the water quality index method for waters in Central Java in 2015-2018 was categorized to mild to moderately polluted, and only 2 locations were measured as heavily polluted. Two areas that are included in the heavily polluted category were the waters of Bulakan and Bojonegoro in 2016. To determine the cause of why the water quality index value being classified as moderately polluted and lightly polluted, we must look at the metal parameters that contribute the most to the index value. These parameters can be initial information on the pollutant source that causes pollution.

Abstract

Calcareous sponges represent the rarest class of marine sponges, constituting only 4% of the currently known sponge species globally. While abundant of demosponges have been reported from various locations in Indonesia, only 40 species of calcareous sponges have been identified in the country over the past 200 years. This suggests the rarity of these sponges and a significant knowledge gap regarding the Leucetta sponge in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to describe the biology of a calcareous sponge belonging to the genus Leucetta, which was collected from the Sangihe Islands in Indonesia. Morphological analysis was conducted using a modified acid digestion method, and the obtained data were compared to reported data for Leucetta sponges. The sponge exhibited triactine spicules, which are characteristic of Leucetta species. The number list of Indonesian Leucetta sponges was determined through a literature search. Previous research indicated that 40 identified calcareous sponges were reported in Indonesia between 1890 and 2023. Interestingly, L. avocado is known as a native sponge to Palau, although this species and closely related species have been reported elsewhere. Therefore, it is predicted that the current distribution of L. avocado in the Sangihe Islands and Bali could be attributed to a combination of the Indonesian Throughflow, sexual propagation, or stepping stone scenarios. This research provides new insights into the biology of L. avocado from Indonesia.

Abstract

Marine debris mitigation should be conducted thoroughly especially in the level where they are originated, which is household and settlement areas. In developing countries, waste management in household level has been a challenge because it has never been done properly. This study aims to evaluate the content and the application of waste management guidelines in settlement areas along the river, to assess the level of understanding of each head of family in using the guidelines and to assess the awareness level in doing the waste management. There are two aspects of waste management in household level: 1) waste management mechanisms, and 2) awareness of each head of family in was management. Mechanism aspect of waste management consists of two components. They are (1) guidelines in management mechanisms (which consists of guideline content and level of understanding-compliance) and (2) implementation of management mechanisms. Awareness aspect of each head of family in conducting waste management were assessed based on three components, they are 1) knowledge, 2) concern, and 3) willingness. A number of 249 households (from a total 453 who live in both sides of the river) were interviewed (as respondents) and they were chosen randomly. The respondent was those with family (parents and children) and the head of the household. The interview was conducted using a questionnaire, which content several questions related to the assessed aspects. The data was quantitatively analysed using a simple Statistics obtain percentages. The result shows that the a detailed content of guidelines on how to properly manage the was not found, the level of understanding on waste management was still low, the implementation of waste management in the level of household has not been done properly, and the willingness to share the finance in waste management is also low. It is then concluded that waste management at the household level in the regions faces various challenges. The best choice in waste management aspect at the household level is given in in this paper.
