ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN THE STRAITS OF JOHOR: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON WATER, SEDIMENT, AND AQUATIC ORGANISMS

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Johor Straits' marine water quality in the vicinity of Kampung Pasir Putih. Aquatic life and aquaculture operations are at risk due to the negative consequences of land use changes and increased discharge of household, agricultural, and industrial waste, as the investigation found. The distribution and concentration levels of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb) in crabs, mussels, and sediment samples were particularly investigated in this study. For Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb, the corresponding mean concentration values in the entire body of the crabs and mussels were 60.4 to 256.5 mg/g, 21.8 to 50.3 mg/g, 1.6 to 4.5 mg/g, and 8.2 to 23.7 mg/g dry weight. Zn and Cu continuously had greater concentrations than the other elements, although the distribution patterns of these metals differed between sampling stations. The average amounts of heavy metals in the sediment samples ranged from 17.7 to 147.1 mg/g, 17.7 to 155 mg/g, 2.4 to 5.3 mg/g, and 9.8 to 14.5 mg/g dry weight for zinc, copper, lead, and mercury, in that order. The study showed that when development increases, water quality decreases and marine organisms accumulate more heavy metals. The range of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations, varying from 1.36 to 6.71 mg/L, exhibited a correlation with the accumulation of heavy metals.

Community Structure and Fish Diversity in Some Mangrove Ecosystems with Varying Levels of Naturalness and Human Activity on Bawean Island, East Java, Indonesia

The research aimed to evaluate the quality of some mangrove ecosystems on Bawean Island with varying levels of naturalness and human activity through community structure and diversity of fish species. Sampling was carried out in 11 mangrove ecosystems of Sawahmulya, Sungai Rujing, Hijau Daun, Sidogedungbatu, Pamona, Pasir Putih, Bangsal, Dekatagung, Jherat Lanjheng, Lebak and Pulau Cina. Fish were collected using the net (pore size 5 mm) and visual encounter method. Fish found were identified then the abundance of each species was used to determine the total abundance, taxa richness, and some indices of diversity, dominance, and evenness. Results showed that there were 18 fish species we found in all locations with varying taxa richness in each mangrove ecosystem. The total abundance of mangrove fish is in the range of 61-165 Idv/25m2. All the research sites show a low value (less than 1) in the Diversity Index of Shannon Wiener, low evenness (0.02-0.07), and high variation of dominance Index (0.26-0.94). The higher the level of naturalness and the lower the hemeroby Index, it was found to have an impact on the higher diversity, taxa richness, and evenness of fish. This research indicated that the quality of some mangrove ecosystems on Bawean Island was still low and needed to be managed.

Characteristics of microplastics in Dusky-tailed cardinalfish (Taeniamia macroptera) from natural reef and Fish Apartment in Pasir Putih Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia

In order to increase fish resources in Pasir Putih Situbondo area, hundreds of artificial reefs in the form of fish apartment (FA) units were laid on the seabottom in the area since 2008. The FA units made from plastic composed by Polypropylene (PP) dan High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which claimed to be extremely durable for a long time. However, these types of plastic will still undergo weathering and fragmented along time and causes an increase in microplastic pollution in the seawater. The aims of the study are to determine the density as well as characteristics of microplastic in gills and gastrointestinal tract of Dusky-tailed cardinalfish (Taeniamia macroptera) inhabiting the FA. As comparison, fish specimens also collected from natural reef (NR) whereas microplastics in water column collected from both areas. The physical characteristics (colour, shape and size) observed using compound microscope and OptiLab while chemical characteristics analyzed with ATR-FTIR. In the water column, average density of microplastic was 44 particles/l; dominated by size of 0-20 μm in the surface and 20-40 μm at the depth of ±12 m. Results of independent sample t-test (for samples from the gills) and Mann-Whitney test (for samples from gastrointestinal track) show no difference in term of microplastic density from each organ. However, in the fish from FA, the average density was relatively higher, 8340 particles/gr in the gills and 14250 particles/gr in the gastrointestinal tract; compared to 6480 particles/gr in the gills and 11990 particles/gr in the gastrointestinal tract in the specimens from NA. All microplastics particles dominated by black fragment with the size of 0-20 μm and type of the polymer is PP.
