This lake is inhabited by many fish species, however, the information about the type of fish in that area is limited. To understand the types of fish present in the Bunter lake, a study has been conducted in March to April 2019. Fish sampling were conducted every day for two weeks or there is no new s…
Palm oil liquid waste is rich in BOD5 and COD and thus need to be processed before being flown to environment. A study aims to reduce the BOD5 and COD in that waste by using the biofilter that was added with EM4 has been conducted in April-May 2019. There were 3 treatments applied, namely the addition of 12 ml, 15 ml and 18 ml EM4 in the anaerob and aerob tanks, 3 replications. The waste was se…
Sago liquid waste is rich in BOD5 and COD and thus need to be processed before being flown to environment. A study aims to reduce the BOD5 and COD in that waste by using the biofilter that was added with EM4 has been conducted in April-May 2019. There were 3 treatments applied, namely the addition of 17 ml, 20 ml and 23 ml EM4 in the anaerob and aerob tanks, 3 replications. The waste was settl…
Sago liquid waste is rich in TSS and amonia and thus need to be processed before being flown to environment. A study aims to reduce the TSS and amonia in that waste by using the biofilter that was added with EM4 has been conducted in April-May 2019. There were 3 treatments applied, namely the addition of 17 ml, 20 ml and 23 ml EM4 in the anaerob and aerob tanks, 3 replications. The waste was se…
In the Riau University area there are several shallow waters. Activities conducted around the watersmay contribute the input of organic and inorganic pollutant into the waters. The pollutant may increase the fertility of the water and it is reflected in the concentration of chlorophyll-a content in the water. A research aims to determine the aquatic productivity based on chlorophyll-a concent…
Heavy metals are generally a problem even at world level as a threat to humans themselves. Heavy metal pollutant can affect aquatic organism’s life and many of them are Cu and Cd. Cu and Cd are heavy metals that are at high toxic level although Cu is included in essential metals but at high concentration levels can cause high toxic effect. If phytoplankton are inhibited by heavy metals, it wi…
Channa striata is one freshwater fish that inhabit the Sei Paku Reservoir. Information on biological aspects of this fish, including morphometric, meristic, and growth patterns, however, is rare. To understand the morphometrical, meristical caracteristics and growth pattern of this fish, a research had been counted from February-April 2019. Fish sampling was carried out in Sei Paku reservoirs s…
Anabas testudineus is one of freshwater fish living in the peat swamp area in the Pelalawan Village. A study aims to determine the reproductive biological aspect of betok fish. The fish was sampled 6 times, from March to May 2019. Parameters measured were sexuality, sex ratio, gonad maturity level, gonad somatic index (GSI), fecundity and egg diameter. Result shown that there was 102 fishes, 60…
One of pollutants that enter the Sail River is heavy metal. Efforts to reduce the level of heavy metal (Pb and Cr) can be conducted by using biocords. In this research the biocord fibers were replaced with raffia fibers (biorafia). To understand the effect of biorafia density toward the decreasing level of heavy metal such as Pb and Cr on the water of the Sail River, a research has been done in…
Hemirhamphodon sp. is a type of fresh water fish that inhabit the waters around the University of Riau and in the Tarai River. The water around University of Riau has relatively good water quality, while the Tarai River has polluted waters. The water condition of the rivers may affect the fish health status in general. A study aims to understand the histological structure of the gill of fish fr…
This study discusses the content of heavy metals (Fe and Zn) and suspended loads on the Sail River, Pekanbaru City. The study aimed to determine the content of heavy metals (Fe and Zn) and suspended solids in the waters of the Sail River. This research was conducted in February - March 2019.
