Development efforts ultimately aim to improve the standard of living and welfare of the community towards a better direction, which is reflected in an increase in per capita income and fulfillment of basic needs, as well as a reduction in poverty, expanding employment opportunities and reducing inequality in income distribution in society. Likewise, the construction of the Koto Panjang Hydroele…
Palm oil industry waste is rich in nitrate and phosphate content and it be used as nutrient resources for Chlorella culture. By culturing the algae, the nitrate and phosphate content may be used for growing and thus their concentration in the waste is reduced and the waste quality is improved. To understand the effects of palm oil industry liquid waste concentration toward growth and chemi…
The problem of the Shipyard of the New Harbor was the availability of the timbers that were increasingly scarce and the difficulty in processing cooperation agreements with the timber supply companies that have obtained a license from the government for the Business License for Utilization of Timber Fores Products – Natural Forest to the government's lack of attention to the wood shipyard ind…
One of the methods that can be done in intensive aquaculture on small area is the use of a water recirculation system. Recirculation is a system that uses filtered water continuously. The recirculation success depends on the system effectiveness on treating waste, especially organic waste, one of which is the type of filter that used in recirculation system. This study was aimed to find th…
Tuna fish eye is a byproduct of the tuna processing industry with low economic value but has the potential and is used as bioactive compounds, one of which is fatty acids. Fatty acids are organic acids as triglyceride esters with saturated or unsaturated carbon chains with an even number of carbon atoms. Tuna fish eye fatty acids are produced from the extraction and hydrolysis of tuna fish …
Ompok hypophthalmus is an endemic fish from that is has high economic. Intensive cultivation of this Ompok hypophthalmus with high stocking density requires large amounts of feed. The remaining feed can cause the water quality to decrease, if the water quality is disturbed, the physiological and haematological conditions of the fish can be disturbed, aquaculture technology is needed to overcome…
Microplastics are particles that have a size of
Seaweed is one of the primary producers in marine ecosystems including phytoplankton, seagrass and mangroves. Seaweed has economic value as a producer of hydrocolloids, one of which is carrageenan. Carrageenan consists of two fractions based on their sulfate content, namely kappa carrageenan which contains less than 28% sulfate and carrageenan iota containing more than 30% sulfate. The us…
Microplastic is a pollutant because it has a very small size and has a negative impact on living things and the environment. Microplastics can be distributed to marine waters due to hydrodynamic factors and anthropogenic activities. This study aims to determine the distribution of microplastics on the west coast of Karimun Island, Riau Islands province. The research method used was a surve…
The purpose of this study was to determine the total oil content at Pandaratan Beach, determine epiphytic diatoms density in seagrass leaves E. acoroides at Pandaratan Beach, and to determine the relationship between total oil content and epiphytic diatoms density in seagrass leaves E. acoroides at Pandaratan Beach. Based on the results of research conducted, the highest total oil content is in…
This study was conducted in March 2020 to know the presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of wild threadfin fish in the coastal waters of Karimun Besar Island, Riau Islands. The method used in this study was survey method. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract of fish varies, the lowest of 2.89 particles / individu to the highest of 5.89 pa…
Poncan Gadang Island has a fairly good coral reef condition, this study aims to determine the effect of coral reef conditions on the abundance of coral reef fish indicators of the Chaetodontidae family and to be compared descriptively. This research was conducted in February-April 2020 in Poncan Island coast, Sibolga City, North Sumatra Province. The method used in this research was a survey me…
High anthropogenic activities on the east coast of Karimun Besar Island contributes certain amount of wastes, especially plastics. Plastics will be degraded due to natural mechanism to smaller parts and known as microplastics. Small size and wide spread distribution has caused microplastics can be found widely in the ocean and coastal areas. This study was conducted in March 2020, located in ea…
Bacteria need a medium to grow. Bacillus cereus is a probiotic bacterium. Molasses and tofu liquid waste are one of the wastes that are used as alternative medium, because they are easy to obtain, cheap, and contain nutrients that are high enough in the form of carbohydrates. This study aimed to determine the optimal medium for the growth of these bacteria. This study used a completely ran…
This research was conducted in March 2020 to find out the difference in planktonic diatoms abundance vertically at each station in the waters of Nareh Beach, Manggung Village, North Pariaman Sub-District, Pariaman City, West Sumatra Province. The method used is a survey method that consists of three depths at three observation stations. The water quality measured in this study were tempera…
This study was conducted in January 2020, located in Api api Village, Bandar Laksamana District, Bengkalis. The purpose of this study was to the determine the effect of the total organic of sediment content on the density of bamboo clam (S. lamarckii), in the intertidal zone. The method used in this study was a survey method. The results show that the content of organic sediment was relativ…
This research was aimed to map the sea surface temperature (SST) distribution in Sibolga waters that based on 20 years satellite image of NOAA/AVHRR. It used survey method for ground check in the field to collect in situ SST and other seawater parameters such as its visibillity, pH, and salinity. It found that the SST changes on each 5 year’s calculations with different pattern of distrib…
This study was aimed to learn the types of sediment and the rate of sedimentation in the coastal waters of Bokor estuary. It used survey method by taking samples from six sites purposively. Then all samples were taken to marine science lab for further analysis. The result showed that the sedimentation rate was high in the mouth of estuary, it is 14.267 – 16.520 mm/year.
