Identifikasi Jenis Dan Distribusi Mikroplastik Pada Teripang (Paracaudina Sp) Di Perairan Pulau Karimun Besar Provinsi Kepulauan Riau
ABSTRACT
Karimun Besar is one of islands in the Kepulauan Province that has high anthropogenic activities which produces a certain amount of wastes, especially plastics. The plastic wastes will be degraded into small-particled called microplastic. Due to its small-size and wide-spread distribution caused microplastics could be consumed by marine organisms, such as deposit feeder organisms from phylum Echinodermata, one of them is Paracaudina sp. The aim of this research is to determined type, abundance of microplastic particles and its correlation to this Echinoderms body-size. Echinoderm sampling for microplastic analysis were taken by digging the sediment (Syah et al., 2019). Separation of microplastic particles from Echinoderm organs was carried out through 4 stages, (a) dissection, (b) separation of organ from its body (c) submersion using KOH 10% solution (d) incubation for 3 weeks and (e) sorting visually. Based on this research, found only 3 types of microplastic (fibre, film and fragment). the abundance of microplastic in Paracaudina sp. found between 289,40-1380,00 particle/individual with fibers being the dominant microplastic. Fibres has the highest abundance in both station followed by films and fragments. independent t-test analysis showed that the quantity of microplastic between two stations was significantly different p < 0,05. the correlation between microplastic abundance and the body-size of Paracaudina sp. was positive. The bigger size of organisms, the higher of microplastics contained in.
