The Relationship

In the present study, the relationship between bacteria and phytoplankton in tropical coastal waters was investigated. The bacterial abundance, bacterial production, chlorophyll a concentration and net primary production were measured at several locations in the coastal waters of Peninsular Malaysia. Chlorophyll a concentration ranged from 0.40 to 32.81 μg L–1, whereas bacterial abundance ranged from 0.1 to 97.5 × 106 cells mL–1. Net primary production ranged from 8.49 to 55.95 μg C L–1 h–1, whereas bacterial production ranged from 0.17 to 70.66 μg C L–1 h–1. In the present study, the carbon conversion factor used to convert bacterial production (cells mL–1 h–1) into carbon units ranged from 10 to 32.8 fg C cell–1, and was estimated from the bacterial size distribution measured at each location. Both phototrophic and heterotrophic biomass (bacteria–chlorophyll a) and activity (bacterial production–net primary production) were significantly correlated, although their correlation coefficients (r2) were relatively low (r2 = 0.188 and r2 = 0.218 respectively). Linear regression analyses provided the following equations to represent the relationship between: bacteria and chlorophyll a (Chl a), log Bacteria = 0.413 log Chl a + 6.057 (P = 0.003); and between bacterial production (BP) and net primary production (NPP), log BP = 0.896 log NPP – 0.394 (P = 0.004), which fitted with published results well. Comparison of annual carbon fluxes confirmed the prevalence of net heterotrophy in these coastal waters, and together with the low correlation coefficients, suggested the role of allochthonous organic matter in supporting heterotrophic activity.

The Relationship

This study is focused on evaluating the trace metal levels in water and tissues of two commercial fish species Arius thalassinus and Pennahia anea that were collected from Kapar and Mersing coastal waters. The concentrations of Fe, Zn, Al, As, Cd and Pb in these coastal waters and muscle, liver and gills tissues of the fishes were quantified. The relationship among the metal concentrations and the height and weight of the two species were also examined. Generally, the iron has the highest concentrations in both water and the fish species. However, Cd in both coastal waters showed high levels exceeding the international standards. The metal level concentration in the sample fishes are in the descending order livers > gills > muscles. A positive association between the trace metal concentrations and weight and length of the sample fishes was investigated. Fortunately the level of these metal concentrations in fish has not exceeded the permitted level of Malaysian and international standards.

Perikanan pelagis di perairan Selat Bali telah diusahakan sejak lama. Data runtut tahun hasil tangkapan yang didaratkan cenderung berfluktuasi. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi spasial dan temporal karakteristik oseanografi, terkait dengan dengan dinamika perikanan pelagis di Selat Bali. Data parameter oseanografi meliputi suhu permukaan laut (SPL) dan klorofill-a (chl-a) yang diperoleh dari citra satelit penginderaan jauh Aqua/Terra MODIS, sedangkan data sumberdaya perikanan pelagis berupa hasil tangkapan/satuan upaya (Catch per Unit Effort, CPUE) ikan pelagis diperoleh dari Tempat Pendaratan Ikan (TPI) Pengambengan, Jembrana - Bali pada periode Januari 2007 hingga Desember 2015. Uji statistik regresi linear berganda digunakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh parameter oseanografi terhadap kondisi perubahan sumberdaya perikanan pelagis. Sebaran spasial SPL menunjukkan bahwa pada Mei hingga November suhu permukaan laut cenderung rendah serta tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara suhu di perairan pantai dan di laut lepas. Secara temporal terlihat bahwa suhu terendah terjadi pada musim timur yaitu pada Agustus 2007. Sebaran spasial chl-a menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan konsentrasi chl-a dimulai dari Mei hingga Oktober serta terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara chl-a perairan pantai dan laut lepas. Secara temporal terlihat bahwa konsentrasi chl-a tertinggi terjadi pada Oktober 2015. Faktor iklim yang merupakan faktor eksternal memberikan pengaruh terhadap perubahan konsentrasi chl-a pada lokasi penelitian. Faktor iklim tersebut adalah kecepatan angin dan kejadian El-Nino. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa perubahan parameter SPL dan chl-a secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perubahan CPUE ikan pelagis, namun secara parsial parameter chl-a memberikan pengaruh yang lebih signifikan dibandingkan dengan parameter SPL.Pelagic fisheries around Bali Strait have been exploited since decades. Based on monthly and annual landing data, fish production around Bali strait are very fluctuated. This study aims to determine the spatial and temporal conditions of oceanographic characteristics and how they relate to the dynamics of pelagic fisheries in the Bali Strait. The oceanographic parameter data consist of sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (chl-a) that obtained from Aqua / Terra MODIS remote sensing satellite imagery, while the dynamics of pelagic fish resource data indicated by Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) derrived from landing place (TPI) Pengambengan, Jembrana - Bali in the period January 2007 to December 2015. Multiple linear regression analysis were applied to determine the effect of oceanographic parameters on the changing conditions of pelagic fishery resources. Spatial distribution of SPL indicates that in May to November sea surface temperature tends to be low and there is no significant difference between the temperature in coastal waters and on high seas. The temporal distribution shows that the lowest temperature occurred during the southeast monsoon in August 2007. The spatial distribution of chl-a showed that the chl-a concentration starts to increase from May to October and there were significant differences between chl-a coastal waters and high seas. The temporal distribution shows that the highest chl-a concentration occurred in October 2015. Climate factor which is an external factor has an effect on the change of chl-a concentration at the research location. Climatic factors are wind speed and El-Nino events. The result of the statistical analysis shows that the change of SPL and chl-a parameters together significantly influence on the CPUE of pelagic fish, but partially chl-a parameter gives highly significant effect than SST parameter.
