The observation of dissolved oxygen level and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) in Lembeh Strait Waters was conducted in January, February, June and July 2016. The objective of this research is to know the condition of dissolved oxygen and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU). The results of the analysis showed that dissolved oxygen levels in the surface layer and near the bottom ranged from 6.00-6.56 mg/l and 5.59-6.17 mg/l. Based on the values of temperature and salinity obtained from this study, solubility, oxygen saturation degree and AOU value at the surface layer were calculated. In the surface layer the AOU values are positive, ranging from 0.10-0.72 mg/l, while near the bottom, negative and positive AOU values were balanced, ranging from -0.23-0.42 mg/l. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the Lembeh Strait waters has not shown negative impact on the aquatic environment and is still in accordance with sea water quality standards for marine biota.Keywords: Dissolved oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), Lembeh Strait. ABSTRAK         Pengamatan kadar oksigen terlarut dan Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) di Perairan Selat Lembeh dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari, Februari, Juni dan Juli 2016.

Bolaang Mongondow waters in North Sulawesi is very important estuarine waters due to both land and ocean influenced oceanographic conditions. Observations of water quality along Bolaang Mongondow coast-line have been carried out in February 2019. This study aim to analyze the quality of sea water based on the physico-chemical parameters of Bolaang Mongondow waters. The parameters observed includes temperature, the clarity of water, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate, nitrate and PH. Samplings were conducted using Nansen tube on the surface layer (0-1 m) and near the bottom (> 15 m) on 9 research stations along Bolaang Mongondow coast-line. Measurements of temperature, salinity, brightness and pH are carried out in situ. Dissolved oxygen was measured via electrochemical method using AZ 8563 DO meter. Phosphate and nitrate were analyzed according to the light transmission method by using the 'Nicolet Evolution 100' spectrophotometer. The results obtained are water temperature ranging from 28.6-29.3 oC; salinity 28.0-32.5 o/oo; water clarity of 7.0-14.5 m; pH 7.36-7.80; dissolved oxygen 4.83-6.41 ppm; phosphate 0,005-0,0230 mg/l and nitrate 0,005-0,0090 mg/l. The statistical analysis using t-test showed that phosphate and dissolved oxygen in the water surface and close to the bottom of water were significantly different (t-hit> t-tab). The calculated index poluion calculation shows that the waters of Bolaang Mongondow ranged between unpolluted and lightly polluted. Variations in temperature, water clarity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate and pH obtained in this study are still adequate to sustain marine life. Perairan Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi Utara adalah perairan estuari yang mempunyai peran penting karena kondisi  oseanografi dipengaruhi oleh aktivitas yang di berasal dari daratan maupun laut.
