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…
Fermented herbs made from turmeric, ginger, and kencur have the potential as antimicrobials and immunostimulants that can increase appetite and reduce fish stress due to changes in water quality. The research was conducted from June 2024 to April 2025 at the Fish Disease and Parasite Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Riau University. This study aims to determine the best freq…
Hoven’s carp (Leptobarbus hoevenii) is an economically valuable native Indonesian species favored by consumers. Its increasing demand highlights its potential as a leading aquaculture commodity. However, growth during the larvae stage is relative slow due to the underdevelopment of digestive organs. One alternative to improve nutrient absorption from feed is the addition of bromelain enzyme i…
Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is a freshwater fish commodity whose market demand continues to increase, so farmers apply intensive cultivation systems. However, if not managed properly, it can reduce water quality, cause stress, and increase the risk of disease, such as Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS). This research was conducted from July 2024 to April 2025 at the Laboratory of Fish Parasites …
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignancies affecting the female reproductive system. Elevated levels of estrogen unopposed by progesterone can stimulate endometrial cell proliferation and increase the risk of EC. Several risk factors such as parity, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus contribute to this hormonal imbalance in the pathogenesis of EC. Estrogen receptor…
Dental caries is a common dental health problem among elementary school children, primarily due to a lack of knowledge and attitudes that support dental health. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward the incidence of dental caries among students of SDN 004 Teratak Buluh, Kampar Regency. This research employed an analytical observational d…
Obesity is one of the global problems that is still unsolved, efforts continue to be made in preventing obesity, one of which is through research on medicinal plants, one of which is kersen leaves (muntingia calabura). Kersen leaves contain flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that can help in fat metabolism so that it can affect body weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect o…
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…
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…
