Sponges are the most primitive multicellular animals that live in various types of waters ranging from fresh, brackish and marine. Sponges live at the bottom of the water, usually embedding themselves in hard substrates such as rocks or corals and competing with other attached organisms for food space. The purpose of this study was to analyse the abundance and diversity and to determine the dif…

This study aims to determine the abundance of P. expansa in Anak Setatah Village, Kepulauan Meranti Regency, examine the size frequency distribution, and investigate the distribution pattern in the area. The study con…
Coastal ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity but are increasingly threatened by heavy metal pollution originating from industrial and domestic activities. The mangrove species A. alba possesses the ability to absorb heavy metals through phytoremediation processes, making it a promising bioindicator of environmental contamination. This study aimed to analyze the concentratio…
This study aims to determine the effect of using different types of bait on the catch results of umbrella traps (bubu payung) in the Kampar River, Kuok Village. The research was conducted over a period of 10 consecutive days using three types of bait: coconut pulp (ampas kelapa), rice bran (dedak padi), dan oil palm fruit waste (berondolan sawit),. The research method used was a field experime…
Industrial and shipping activities in West Dumai pose a risk of heavy metal contamination in coastal waters, potentially leading to bioaccumulation in organisms such as Geloina erosa and Cerithidea obtusa. This study aimed to determine the accumulation of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in the soft tissues of both species and to compare the concentrations between species and sampling stat…
Coastal areas have high potential for natural resources, but the intensity of their utilization often leads to physical environmental changes. One of the significant impacts is land subsidence and sea level rise, which trigger tidal flooding (known as rob floods). This study aims to determine the rate of sea level rise based on tidal data analysis from 2015 to 2024, and to predict inundation ar…
Global warming is caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO₂, and can be controlled through carbon sequestration by vegetation, including mangrove trees. The study was conducted in January-February 2025 in the mangrove area of Penempul Village, Sungai Sembilan District, Dumai City, Riau Province, with the aim of determining density in relation to biomass, carbon stock, an…
Mangroves are forests that grow in coastal areas and play an important role in maintaining environmental balance, because the health of this ecosystem greatly affects the stability of coastal areas and the survival of communities that depend on natural resources. This study aims to analyze the Mangrove Health Index (MHI) in the coastal area of Kutawaru Village, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. Th…

This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the structure of the gastropod community in the coastal area of Parupuk Tabing Village, Padang City, West Sumatra. Knowing the structure of the gastropod community in an area has a major impact on the sustainability of the area. This is because the living conditions of gastropods can be an illustration of the water quality in the area. Therefo…
Coral reefs play a crucial role in maintaining marine biodiversity by providing habitat and resources for various types of marine organisms, including reef fish from the Pomacentridae family. This study aims to determine the condition of coral reef cover, the abundance of reef fish from the Pomacentridae family, and the relationship between coral reef cover and the abundance of reef fish from t…
Currently, food technology has transformed the function of food, beyond simply relieving hunger, it is also used to produce functional food products that protect the human body and treat various diseases. One such product being developed is a probiotic drink. This research was carried out from October to December 2024 at the Marine Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Marine Sciences, Faculty…
Lokan (Polymesoda expansa) is a bivalve that lives in mangrove forest areas and has important ecological and economic values. The lokan population plays a role in maintaining water quality and is a source of livelihood for coastal communities. This study aims to analyze the abundance, distribution patterns, and frequency distribution of individual sizes of P. expansa in the mangrove forest of B…
Coral reefs are massive piles of sediment produced from calcium carbonate produced by the phylum cnidaria, class anthozoa, order madreporaria, with the addition of calcareous algae and other organisms that produce calcium carbonate. One group of biota that lives in association with coral reefs and plays an important role in the coral reef ecosystem is Chaetodontidae fish. The taking of the Chae…
Blood clams are a type of soft-bodied animal that lives sessile and obtains food by filtering (filter feeder). This results in many microorganisms accumulating in the body of the blood clams, one of which is the coliform bacteria group. Coliform bacteria are divided into two, namely fecal coliform and non-fecal coliform. Fecal coliform comes from animal and human feces, such as Escherichia coli…
