This research aimed to utilize Anadara Granosa (Blood clam shell) clamshell waste as a new innovation in concrete technology and to investigate the effect of Anadara Granosa clamshell powder utilization as an aggregate substitution on the concrete compressive strength. The sample size was made of cylinders with a size of 10 cm x 20 cm with variations of clamshell powder 10%, 20% and 30% from the fine aggregate volume then soaked for 28 days as per the method of the Indonesian National Standard. The evaluation results exhibited that the slump value exceeded the slump value of normal concrete with a slump value of 0% = 160 mm, 10% = 165 mm, 20% = 180 mm and 30% = 180 mm. Additionally, it was found that the concrete compressive strength obtained post 28 days were 20.78 Mpa, 21.95 Mpa, 21.17 Mpa and 24.28 Mpa for normal concrete (0%), substitution concrete (10%), substitution concrete (20%) and substitution concrete (30%), respectively. Leading on from these results, it was concluded that the increment of Anadara Granosa clamshell powder substitution led to the increase of concrete compressive strength test.

Abstract Oil drilling and industrial effluent that wasted through the Bengawan Solo River estuary is a source of environmental pollution in the Sidayu and Banyu Urip district, Gresik as one that produces the blood shellfish (Anadara granosa). One of the most dangerous contaminants of heavy metals is mercury. However shellfish can accumulate more heavy metals than other aquatic animals because it settle and filter their food (filter feeder) and slow to be able to avoid the effects of pollution The Aim of this study are to determine the levels of mercury and methyl mercury predictions on blood shellfish (Anadara granosa). The process of sampling was done at coastal area of Sidayu and Banyu Urip district, Gresik then performed using Atomic Absorbance readings Spectrophotometric (AAS). This is a descriptive study and the data obtained, and then continued with stoichiometric calculations to predict the content of methyl mercury. Based on the analysis of mercury and prediction of methyl mercury in the blood shellfish (Anadara granosa) organs in coastal area of Sidayu and Banyu Urip district, Gresik, has not exceeded the threshold of SNI, the value is 0.5 ppm. Mercury contamination was high in blood clam shell with the average value of 0.273 ppm and 0.293 ppm, followed by the stomach and intestines shell with an average value of 0.226 ppm and 0.281 ppm. Lowest contamination is on the organ gill, liver, and kidneys with the average value of 0.150 ppm and 0.133 ppm.

This study was conducted in the intertidal zone in the waters of Bagan Siapi-api Rokan Hilir Regency in May-June 2018. This study aims to examine morphometrics and growth patterns in blood clams (Anadara granosa) in Bagan Siapi-api waters. A total of 100 samples (23.89-50.52 mm shell length and 3.85-18.16 grams total weight) were analyzed. From the results of observations it was found that the number of male and female ribs was 8-20, and there were 3 differences in morphometric characteristics between male and female, namely male blood clams longer than females, while female blood shells were wider and thicker than males. Furthermore, the growth pattern of A. granosa was negative allometric, with male b values 1.46 and females 0.74.

This research is expected to find out how abundance and distribution of blood clams (Anadara Granosa) in coastal waters of Mekarbaru village, Kepulauan Meranti District. In good conditions or during the season in a particular month there is more capture compared to when it is not in season. Analyze using descriptive analysis research methods using survey methods. The materials used in this study were blood clam samples (A.granosa), and aquades for tool rinsing. The results of this study can be concluded that the average abundance of blood clams of A. granosa in the coastal waters of Mekarbaru Village, Kepulauan Meranti District is different. The highest average blood clam abundance was found at station III which was 21.86 Ind / m2 and the lowest was at station II which was 19.63 Ind/m2. The size distribution of blood clams A. granosa can be seen that dominating is the size of <25 mm (small), while the size of 25-30 mm (Medium) is only found at each station. The abundance of small blood clams A. granosa is influenced by the content of sediment organic matter and water quality in the coastal waters of Mekarbaru Village, Kepulauan Meranti Regency.

Clam shells are a food solid waste that increases and accumulates every day, causing environmental pollution. Clam shells (Anadora granosa) contain chitin. Chitin can be processed into chitosan, which effective in absorbing heavy metals. To increase absorption, chitosan modified into a membrane. The purpose of this study was to analyze the membrane's ability of chitosan waste from blood clam shells to reduce levels of iron in water. The design of this study was pure experimentation. The object of research used was iron-containing artificial water made from iron salt powder at a dose of 4.50 mg/L. Variations of Chitosan concentration to the membranes manufacture were 1%, 2%, 3%. Analysis of the data used was One Way Anova Test. Chitosan characterization analysis using XR Diffraction showed that chitosan was isolated from shells at peak angles at 17.99o and 34.04o. The highest percentage of iron reduction was given by membranes with a chitosan concentration of 3%, which have decreased of 94%. The results showed that the membrane of blood shells chitosan can reduce iron levels in water and can be an alternative material in the utilization of clamshell waste. The membrane can be applied in simple water treatment filtration systems in the community.

Abstract. Devi AR, Susilowati A, Setyaningsih R. 2019. Morphology, molecular identification, and pathogenicity of Vibrio spp. on blood clam (Anadara granosa) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia tourism beach areas. Biodiversitas 20: 2890-2896. Seafood is very popular among Indonesian people, especially in coastal areas. In Bantul Yogyakarta, blood clams have become one of tourist's favorite, either cooked or raw. Blood clams are filter feeders that cause the clams to be vulnerable to contamination of pathogenic bacteria that can cause foodborne disease, including Escherichia, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio. The 10-20% cases of foodborne disease transmitted through seafood caused by Vibrio spp. Three species of Vibrio can cause foodborne disease in humans, i.e., V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus. The purpose of this study was to determine the character of Vibrio using morphological and molecular identification and pathogenicity on blood clam (Anadara granosa). Blood clams samples were collected from Depok, Goa Cemara, and Kwaru beaches in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Isolation of Vibrio spp. from blood clams was done using selective differential Thiosulfate Citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS) culture medium. The morphological characters of the isolate colonies were determined based on the color, shape, texture, and size of the colony. Hemolysis test was also performed to evaluate the pathogenicity by using blood agar media. Molecular identification of Vibrio species was made using 16S rRNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Neighbor-Joining method in Mega X software. Samples for the analysis came from DNA sequences of this study and those from the GenBank database. Of the total 15 isolates obtained, four isolates showed positive β-hemolysis, namely, isolate P2S2 -1bH, P3S1-1aH, P2S1-1aK and P2S2-1aK, and one isolate had positive α-hemolysis (P3S2-1aK). Seven species of Vibrio were identified as V. algynolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. diabolicus, V neocaledonicus, V. azureus, V. natrigens, and V. cholerae.
