Biological Oxygent Demand (BOD5) as Bio Indicator of Phytoplankton Diversity Index in The Mangrove Area of Kintap Estuary - South Kalimantan

ABSTRAKMangrove merupakan suatu ekosistem yang khas dan menjadi sumber daya alam yang sangat berperan penting dalam keberlangsungan makhluk hidup. Salah satunya melibatkan faktor lingkungan perairan mangrove yang dapat menyebabkan kesuburan diperairan sehingga banyak ditemukannya biota air yang hidup di kawasan tersebut, salah satunya adalah kepiting biola. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman kepiting biola yang hidup di kawasan mangrove Pancer. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan November-Desember 2017 di mangrove Pancer Cengkrong Kabupaten Trenggalek, Jawa timur. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan 7 jenis kepiting biola, yaitu Uca rosea, U.annulipes, U.forcipata, U.crassipes, U.vomeris, U.lactea dan U.paradussumieri. Tujuh spesies kepiting biola menempati beberapa tipe habitat yaitu, substart berpasir, substrat berlumpur, berlumpur dan berpasir, sekitar akar mangrove, serta akar mangrove yang berpasir. Indeks keanekaragaman kepiting biola di kawasan mangrove bagian stasiun 1 (3,4) tergolong tinggi, stasiun 2 (1,8), dan stasiun 3 (1,3) tergolong sedang. Kondisi lingkungan yang ada di seluruh stasiun relatif baik untuk kehidupan vegetasi mangrove dan kepiting biola. Kondisi tersebut ialah pH 7-9, suhu 27-31, salinitas 21,6 ppt, oksigen terlarut 5,5-8 mg/L, dan substrat lumpur berpasir. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini ialah kerapatan vegetasi mangrove sangat berkaitan dengan kelimpahan jenis (kepadatan) kepiting biola serta banyaknya spesies di dalam suatu komunitas akan mempengaruhi keanekaragaman ekosistem yang ada di kawasan mangrove Pancer.

One of them involves the environmental factors of mangrove waters that can cause fertility in the waters so that many aquatic biota are found in the area, one of which is a violin crab. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of violin crabs that live in the Pancer mangrove area. This research was carried out in November to Desember 2017 in the mangrove Pancer Cengkrong Trenggalek Regency, East Java. The results found seven types of violin crabs, namely Uca rosea, U.annulipes, U.forcipata, U.crassipes, U.vomeris, U.lactea and U.paradussumieri. seven species of violin crabs occupy several types of habitats, namely sandy substrates, muddy substrate, muddy and sandy, around mangrove roots, and sandy mangrove roots. Diversity index of violin crabs in the station 1 (3,4) mangrove area classified as high, station 2 (1,8), and station 2 (1,3) classified as medium. The environmental conditions in al stations are relatively good for the life of mangrove vegetation and violin crabs. These conditions are pH 7-9, temperature 27-32, salinity 21.6 ppt, dissolved oxygen 5.5-8 mg/L, and sandy mud substrate. The conclusion of this study is that mangrove vegetation density is closely related to the abundance of species (density) of violin crabs and the number of species in a community will affect the diversity of ecosystems in the Pancer mangrove area.Keywords: Violin Crab, Mangrove, Diversity, Trenggalek

Phytoplankton community plays an important ecological role in the aquatic ecosystems as the primary producers and forms the fundament of the aquatic food chain for supporting the water community. Thus, the phytoplankton community structure is a good indicator of water quality due to its sensitiveness to environmental stresses. Two newly dug ponds in Institut Teknologi Sumatera may give an opportunity to study the early colonizing stages of various freshwater communities including phytoplankton. The study attempted to determine the composition and abundance of phytoplankton. Samples were collected from two ponds (A and C) in the reservoir water of Institut Teknologi Sumatera. The content of Phosphorus (P), Nitrogen (N), and Chlorophyll-a (algae biomass) were determined. Phytoplankton had higher diversity in Pond C than Pond A in the study period, in which a total of seven taxa were found, namely Bacillariophycea, Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Conjugatophyceae, Dinophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Gymnodiniaceae. The most species abundance of both ponds was Peridinium sp. and Trachelomonas sp. The Pond C had the highest mean value of the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. The Linear mixed-effect model showed that low turbidity will result in high phytoplankton diversity. The finding of this study suggests that higher phytoplankton diversity would achieve a natural carrying capacity, and thus would serves as an indicator of ecosystem health.

This study aims to examine the density, frequency and closure of mangrove areas. In addition, it also analyzed the ecological index (index of diversity, uniformity, and dominance) of mangrove vegetation in the waters of Ujung Batu, Flores Sea, Jeneponto Regency. This research was conducted using the 10 x 10 m2 transect plot method. The data obtained were analyzed to determine the density, frequency, closure and important value index (IVI) as well as to analyze the diversity index, uniformity and dominance index. The results of this study are; mangrove communities in the waters of the Ujung Batu, Flores coast, consists of types Avicennia alba, A. marina, A. officinalis, Sonnneratia alba and Rhizophora stylosa. A. alba dominates at the three observation stations (I, II and III). This is marked by the high importance (IVI) at all levels. The diversity index (H ') at the study site ranged from 0.36 - 0.51, indicating a low level of diversity. The Simpson dominance index (SDI) ranges from 0.34 to 0.54, indicating that one of the species (A. alba) dominates the mangrove area in the study site.

Commercial Probiotics

The intensive aquaculture industry faces two main problems, first, the decrease in the water quality caused by high concentrations of metabolites, and second, the use of low natural food in aquaculture activities with high water exchange intensity. For this reason, efforts are needed to develop biofloc to maximize the contribution of natural food which can increase aquaculture production. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of commercial probiotics on the differences in the phytoplankton diversity associated with biofloc. The fish were divided into three treatment groups. Treatment A involved biofloc formation without using probiotics, treatment B contained biofloc formation using commercial probiotics (Bacillus spp., lactic acid, Lactobacillus spp., Saccharomyces spp. 50/50 feed), and treatment C entailed biofloc formation using commercial probiotics (containing a native microbial consortium, 50/50 feed). The treatment groups were repeated six times so that there were 18 experimental units. The research was conducted from March to April 2015. The results indicated that the administration of probiotics with different types led to insignificant differences among the treatment groups. The highest diversity index value occurred in treatment C on day 34 of the experiment that was equal to 0.49. On the other hand, the highest value of the dominance index (C = 0.99) occurred in treatments A and B on day 21. It can be concluded that the addition of probiotics with different biofloc could result in insignificant phytoplankton diversity. Furthermore, the Nitrogen/Phosphorus (N/P) ratio as a limiting factor for phytoplankton growth indicated different results in each treatment.

Jatigede Reservoir in Sumedang Regency is a land mass planning designed as a multi-function reservoir. The main water source for this reservoir is from Cimanuk River, which flows through Garut Regency, and has many industrial activities around the river flow. This research was conducted to assess the trophic status of water pollution in Jatigede Reservoir by utilizing plankton as a bioindicator agent. Samples were collected from 9 observation stations from November 2018 until January 2019. The results showed that 26 species of phytoplankton from 7 divisions including Dinophyta, Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Chrysophyta, Euglenophyta, Bacillariophyta, and Charophyta was found in Jatigede Reservoir at about 461 ind/m3. Zooplankton abundance of 6 species from 2 divisions of Rotifera and Copepoda at 2 ind/m3. The average phytoplankton diversity index was 0.93 and zooplankton diversity index was 0.23. The average phytoplankton evenness index was 0.44 and zooplankton evenness index was 0.24. The average dominance of phytoplankton was 0.58 and dominance of zooplankton was 0.25. Based on the plankton community structure, the trophic status of Jatigede Reservoir was classified to moderate polluted (eutroph) to heavily pollutants (hypereutroph). The dominant species was Perinidium sp from Dinophyta division.
