Setyobudi E, Rohmah I, Syarifah RF, Ramatia L, Murwantoko, Sari DWK. 2019. Presence of Anisakis nematode larvae in Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) along the Indian Ocean southern coast of East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 313-319. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence (P), mean intensity (MI) and site of infection of anisakid larvae (Nematoda) in Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) at the Indian Ocean Southern Coast of East Java. A total of 341 fish were collected from Prigi and Muncar Fish Harbor, East Java during March-April 2018. Each fish specimen was measured in body length and weight, and then dissected for examination of Anisakis larvae in the body cavity, digestive tract, liver, gonad and muscle. The collected larvae were preserved in absolute ethanol for both morphological and molecular identification. The results of this research showed Indian mackerel was susceptible to Anisakis infection (P=17%, MI =6.8 larva/individual fish). Most of the larvae were found in the digestive tract and body cavity, 47.2% and 46.0% respectively. Only a few larvae were found in other internal organs and muscle. Based on morphological identification, these larvae corresponded to Anisakis Type I. Furthermore, in molecular identification using PCR-RFLP, the banding pattern clearly matched with Anisakis typica. The prevalence and mean intensity of Anisakis nematodes on Indian mackerel along the southern coast of East Java seem to be different in each locality and from other adjacent waters as has previously been reported, which may be due to differences in feeding habits and in the distribution of marine mammals as the final host. The results suggest that differences in prevalence and mean intensity of anisakis larvae infection could be developed as a biological indicator of fish stock discrimination. However, clear information regarding food habits of Indian mackerel and migration patterns of the paratenic hosts as well as of marine mammals as final host is needed.

Surveys of littoral invertebrates along the southern coast of Madagascar have produced the first study of ascidians in this part of the Indian Ocean. Collections were made by SCUBA divers in May and June 2010 down to 25m depth. This region is considered the southern limit for coral reefs but remains diverse biologically. Upwellings and an abundant plankton community particularly favour the abundance of ascidians in this area. Of the 39 species of non-didemnid species described here, eight are new. Ten species are common to South Africa. Other species were for the most part already known from the Mozambique Channel and a few have also been recorded in the western Pacific (either cosmopolitan or introduced).

The oldest representatives of Cymodoceaceae supposedly arose in the tropical waters of East Gondwana inCretaceous and later settled along the World Ocean by various tracks, the most important of which passed along the southern coast of Eurasian continental masses and reached the waters of modern Atlantic. More advanced genera Cymodocea,Syringodium originated in these areas and moved “back” to the waters of the Indian Ocean and the southwestern Pacific.

Tuna sirip biru adalah ikan berharga tinggi yang semakin kurang populasinya akibat penangkapan secara ekstensif. Ikan ini hanya terdapat di Samudera Hindia. Daerah pemijahannya diduga di perairan selatan Bali dan Lombok. Pengelolaan konservasi ikan ini dilakukan oleh Commission for the Conservation of Southern Blue Fin Tuna, di mana Indonesia adalah salah satu anggotanya. Kehadiran Indonesia sebagai anggota menuntut Indonesia untuk ikut melakukan konservasi terhadap spesies ini. Namun, Indonesia juga patut mengembangkan perikanan dan perdagangan spesies ini bagi kepentingan nasional.Southern blue fin tuna is a high priced fish which tends to have declining its population due to extensive fishing. The Indian Ocean is the species only habitat. Its spawning area is confined to the waters of southern coast of Bali and Lombok. The management conservation of the southern blue fin tuna is done by the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Blue Fin Tuna, where Indonesia as one of the members. The membership consequence is that Indonesia should undertake conservative actions and mechanisms for the species. Indonesia may develop fishery and trading of the species for its own benefit and interest.

Abstract Purworejo Regency is one of the regencies in Central Java Province, which is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. Because the topography of the southern coast of Purworejo Regency is relatively flat, the area's vulnerability to a tsunami is high. A resilient community is needed to reduce the number of victims in the event of an earthquake and tsunami. This study aims to analyze the level of resilience of the southern coastal community of Purworejo Regency to the tsunami disaster. This research uses a qualitative approach. Collecting data using in-depth interviews with selected respondents, observation, secondary data analysis, and questionnaires. Data analysis used the scorecard toolkit version 2 with 22 questions for each question with five answer options. With a score of 1 to 5. The result of this study indicate that of the 16 villages the coastal area of Purworejo Regency, all of them have a caution zone status.
