Berbagai jenis ikan, dengan bobot total lebih dari 650 kg ditemukan mati di pesisir Pantai Ancol tanggal 30 November 2015, diantaranya yang dominan adalah gulamah (Scianidae). Kematian ikan yang sering terjadi akan menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi yang signifikan. Identifikasi faktor penyebab terjadinya peristiwa ini sangat penting untuk diketahui dalam rangka pengelolaan populasi ikan dan penyusunan tindakan pencegahan sehingga bisa mengurangi frekuensi dan besarnya tingkat kematian ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sebaran spasial beberapa parameter kualitas airguna mengidentifikasi faktor penyebab kematian masal ikan di Teluk Jakarta yang terjadi pada tanggal 30 November 2015. Pengamatan dilakukan pada tanggal 1-3 Desember 2015 di 14 stasiun penelitian mencakup14 parameter fisika, kimia dan biologi perairan. Sebaran spasial beberapa parameter perairan dipetakan dengan menggunakan software ArcGIS 9.3. Parameter perairan (kedalaman, kecerahan, suhu air, pH, oksigen terlarut dan ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential)) diukur secara insitu dan contoh air permukaan diambil untuk pengamatan plankton serta parameter kimia air di laboratorium (nitrat, fosfat, ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solid, sulfide dan bahan organik terlarut). Berdasarkan analisa dari 14 parameter fisika, kimia dan biologi perairan diketahui faktor penyebab kematian masal ikan di Teluk Jakarta pada 30 November 2015 disebabkan karena rendahnya kandungan oksigen terlarut(0,07mg/l pada lokasi pusat kematian ikan),kadar nutrien yang berlebihan(nitrat,0,003-0,389 mg/l dan fosfat 0,811-1,653 mg/l,)dan tingginya konsentrasi ammonia yang merupakan gas beracun dan berbau (0,227-1,944 mg/l). On November 30th, 2015, more than 650 kg fishes found dead in the coast of Ancol. The identification of its causes is very vital to develop mitigation for managing fish population and preventing economic loss. This study aims to examine several waters parameters to identify the factors causing mass deaths of fish. The study was conducted on 1-3 December 2015 in Jakarta Bay by analyzing 14 parameters of physical, chemical and biological aspect. Spatial distribution of water parameters mapped using ArcGIS 9.3 software. Some water parameters were measured in situ (depth, brightness, water temperature,pH, dissolved oxygen and ORP (oxidation reduction potential) while surface water samples were taken and analyzed in the laboratory (Nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand. The result showed that a mass fish kills in Jakarta Bay on 30 November 2015 due to low dissolved oxygen content, release of toxic gas into the water, excessive nutrient and high ammonia.

Chlorination is the most practical way for the destruction of pathogenic and other harmful organisms in water and wastewater treatment plants. However, highly erratic concentrations of ammonia is contained in most water and wastewater treatment plants, which will react to chlorine and seriously alter the required chlorine dosages in the control of chlorination. The conventional control of chlorine dosage is widely practical throughout the batch breakpoint chlorination test in the laboratory, which is not feasible for the requirement of real-time regulation of the chlorine demands. In this study, a simple automatic oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) titration system was developed for on-line determination of the chlorine demand. The experimental results showed that different decrease tendencies on ORP slope profiles were found to correlate to the ammonia concentrations in samples. In addition, the required chlorine demands were found to correlate to ammonia concentrations with a linear relationship. The ORP control strategy was, therefore, developed for on-line determination of the chlorine demands. Applying this ORP control strategy, the required chlorine demands were precisely predicted, and good disinfection efficiency was obtained in the wastewater chlorination experiments.
