Analisis Kelimpahan Dan Keanekaragaman Perifiton Rawa Bangkau Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Selatan Kalimantan Selatan

Periphyton group are biota communities that be able adapt and grow well in lentic waters. Their habits are adhere to a permanent location. Aquatic vegetation in Bangkau can influenced the periphyton abundance and diversity as natural food in the food chain. The purpose of this study was to analyzed abundance and diversity of Periphyton from different aquatic vegetation. The research was conducted in three stations by purposive sampling. The method used was quantitative explored. The data that has been taken were epiphythic periphyton samples. Periphyton sampling procedures, preservation, and analysis were carried out based on Indonesian National Standard methods. Bangkau’s peatland had the highest abundance of phytoplankton-periphyton (9982 sel/liter) in inlet, but low at middle station (778 sel/liter). Zooplankton-periphyton (553 sel/liter) in middle station was the highest abundance whereas in outlet station (153 sel/liter) was the lowest. Bacillariophyceae had predominant and always attendanced Oscillatoria, Closterium, Planktonella, Diatom, meanwhile zooplankton-periphyton dominated Ciliophora in all stations and sampling. Diversity index of phytoplankton-periphyton in inlet station (1,55) was the highest and in inlet (0,77) was the lowest. Zooplankton-periphyton in middle (1,76) and outlet (0,94) was different based on Shannon wiener’s Index. The abundance index of Bangkau were mesotrophic categorized for phytoplankton-periphyton and oligotrophic for zooplankton-periphyton. Due to the low level of species diversity (H’≤ 3) showed moderate stability and for the water quality conditions was moderate polluted.

IDENTIFIKASI JENIS ANNELIDA PADA HABITAT SUNGAI JANGKOK KOTA MATARAM

Jangkok River is one of the lotic ecosystems in the city of Mataram. Based on previous studies it was concluded that this river has various types of biodiversity in it. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of Annelida found in the Jangkok River in Mataram City. This type of research is descriptive exploratory research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. This research was conducted on March 14, 2018. The research samples were river water taken at 3 stations namely upstream, middle and downstream using purposive sampling technique. Based on its existence, the Annelida type was found in downstream stations as many as 46 individuals, and 5 at the middle station, whereas it was not found at the upstream station. The type of Annelida found is the Olygochaeta class with Lumbricus terestis species and Tubifex sp. and the Hirudinae class with Hirudo medicinalis species.

Effect of Environmental Disturbances on Odonata Assemblages along a Tropical Polluted River

Odonata larvae have been intensively used as bioindicators for freshwater pollution as their community structure closely follow changes in the environment and habitat settings. In this study, 28 taxa of Odonata larvae were collected from three stations (upper, middle and lower) of a polluted river in Malaysia. The upper river basin receives effluents from an oil palm plantation. However, the middle station is presumably contaminated with anthropogenic wastes. The lower station is found to receive polluted discharges from aquaculture outlet. Several environmental parameters of water and sediment were continuously measured during the study. The water parameters showed no significant differences amongst the three stations. The species richness of Odonata was 22, 24 and 20 in the upper, middle and lower stations, respectively. The abundance of Odonata was significantly different among the studied sites. The tolerant damselfly, Pseudagrion sp. (41.22%), and facultative dragonflies, Onychothemis sp. (17.12%), were the most dominant taxa along the river stations. Onychothemis sp. and Paragomphus capricornis were equally important at the upper station [Important Species Index (ISI) 25.3 and 24.2%, respectively]. Pseudagrion sp. only scored an ISI value of 9.7%. Pseudagrion sp., P. capricornis and Onychothemis sp. were dominant in the middle station (ISI: 41.2%, 25.9% and 10.9% respectively), and Pseudagrion sp., Onychothemis sp. and Prodasineura sp. dominated the areas with dense growth of submerged aquatic weeds Hydrilla sp. in the lower station (ISI: 47.9, 24.5 and 13.8%, respectively). On the basis of the variations in larval abundance and ISI values, microhabitats differences partly in response to different types of pollutions entering the water structured the Odonata communities in this river basin.

MAKROZOOBENTOS SEBAGAI INDIKATOR BIOLOGIS DALAM MENENTUKAN KUALITAS AIR SUNGAI RANOYAPO, MINAHASA SELATAN, SULAWESI UTARA ABSTRAK Sungai Ranoyapo merupakan sungai terpanjang di Wilayah Minahasa dengan panjang sekitar 60, 5 Km. Sungai Ranoyapo adalah sungai utama DAS Ranoyapo yang memiliki luas sekitar 87,154 Ha. Sungai Ranoyapo melintasi kawasan pertanian, perkebunan, permukiman penduduk, dan industri. Limbah yang berasal dari kawasan tersebut mempengaruhi kualitas air Sungai Ranoyapo. Makrozoobentos dapat digunakan sebagai parameter biologi dalam menentukan kondisi sungai karena hidupnya relatif diam di dasar sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kualitas air Sungai Ranoyapo berdasarkan indeks keanekaragaman makrozoobentos. Penelitian dilakukan pada musim hujan yaitu Januari-Maret 2013. Lokasi penelitian ditentukan dari bagian hulu, tengah dan hilir sungai dengan 3 ulangan di tiap lokasi. Kualitas air Sungai Ranoyapo ditentukan berdasarkan indeks keanekaragaman makrozoobentos dari Shannon Wiener (H’) menurut kriteria Staub et al (1970). Makrozoobentos di Sungai Ranoyapo terdiri dari 3 Filum, 5 Kelas, 13 Bangsa, 21 Suku, dan 23 Marga.

Ranoyapo River is the main river watershed Ranoyapo which its area of 87.154 ha. Ranoyapo River crosses agricultural, plantation, resident, and industry areas. Waste originated from those areas will affect water quality of Ranoyapo River. Macrozoobenthos can be used as a biological parameter in determining the condition of the river because they relatively slow move on the riverbed. This study aims to determine the water quality of the River Ranoyapo based on biodiversity index of macrozoobenthos. The study was conducted during the rainy season i.e. from January to March 2013. Three locations were chosen from upstream, midstream and downstream river with 3 replications in each location. The quality of Ranoyapo River was determined by the biodiversity index Shannon Wiener (H') of macrozoobenthos using classification of Staub et al (1970. Macrozoobenthos of Ranoyapo River consisted of 3 Phyla, 5 Classes, 13 Orders, 21 Families, and 23 Genus. Biodiversity index (H’) of macrozoobenthos from up (Station I), middle (Station II) and downstream (Station III) respectively were 2.43; 2.06, and 1.77. The quality of Ranoyapo River at up and middle were lightly polluted with index H’: 2.0 to 3.0 (H '> 2.0) and at down was moderately polluted with index H ': 1.0 to 2.0 (H' <2). Keywords: Ranoyapo River, water quality, water pollution, macrozoobenthos biodiversity

Golden Horn Estuary: Description of the ecosystem and an attempt to assess its ecological quality status using various classification metrics

In this paper, we describe the pelagic and benthic ecosystem of the Golden Horn estuary opening into the Marmara Sea. To improve the water quality of the estuary, which had long been subject to severe anthropogenic pollution (industrial, chemical, shipping), industrial facilities were moved from the estuary in the 1980s, followed by a rehabilitation plan in the 1990s. Our results, based on chemical parameters and phytoplankton showed some signs of improvement of water conditions in the upper layer. However, macrozoobenthic findings of this study did not reflect such a recovery in bottom life.An approach to the Ecological Quality Status (EQS) assessment was performed by applying the biotic indices BENTIX, AMBI, BOPA, BO2A. Our final assessment was based on 'expert-judgements' and revealed a very disturbed overall ecosystem with 'bad' EQS for the station at the head of the estuary, 'poor' in the rest of the estuary and 'moderate' EQS only in the middle station.
