Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Lokan (Geloina Erosa) Di Perairan Pantdai Utara Pulau Bengkalis Provinsi Riau
ABSTRACT
The coastal waters of Bengkalis Island are located in the Malacca Strait
and it is suspected that some of the people around the area throw away garbage
and end up at sea, especially plastic waste. This research was conducted in July
2020 in the northern coastal waters of Bengkalis Island, Bengkalis Regency. The
aim of this study was to analyze the type, abundance and the relationship between
abundance of microplastic with size of Lokan soft tissue. This study uses a survey
method. Data collected is primary data which was obtained during the study is
presented in tables and graphs, and then analyzed statistically. The results of the
study found 3 types of microplastics, namely fiber, film and fragments. The total
abundance of microplastics at station 1 was 13.199 particles/g and the total
abundance at station 2 was 13.583 particles/g. The total abundance of
microplastics in larger size was 8.942 particles/g and higher total abundance was
found in the smaller size (15.774 particles/g). Simple linier regression analysis
showed that the abundance of microplastics had a weak relationship with weight
and length of the Lokan with a correlation coefficient between 0.21-0.40. Further
study is needed to explain the cause of the weak correlation especially in relation
to water quality parameters.
