ABSTRACT The west coast of Sumatra has a very high frequency of earthquakes because it is located at the confluence of the Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate. Earthquakes that occur on the seabed will increase the vulnerability of tsunamis. One of the districts in West Sumatra Province that is highly vulnerable to tsunami is the Mentawai Islands Regency. Risk assessment is very depen…
ABSTRACK Pasumpahan Island is an area that is affected by currents, waves, and sedimentation processes. Pasumpahan Island is close to the Indian Ocean and the mouth of the Pisang River. This causes shoreline changes, such as abrasion and accretion. This study aims to determine the effect of currents, waves, and sedimentation processes on the rate of shoreline change for 30 years (1991-2021…

ABSTRACT Bivalvia is a class of the Mollusca phylum. Bivalvia is also known as Pelecypoda and Lamellibrankhiata. Bivalvia occupies an area of the intertidal zone, one of which is in the intertidal zone of Pasumpahan Island. But information about bivalves in the area does not exist. To know/understand the information about the density and distribution pattern of bivalves on Pasumpahan Islan…
ABSTRACT Mangroves are plants that have an important role in providing very complex and potential food components for the life of various thing at there and terrestrial biota. Mangrove's high productivity is obtained from litter. Mangroves have dregs that has a very important function for the mangrove ecosystem, including maintaining the fertility of forest soil. Soil and plant fertility d…
ABSTRACT Mangrove is a type of vegetation that grows on muddy soil in tidal areas, around the river estuary and in tropical coastal areas. To support the success of mangrove forest management, it is important to pay attention by the factors that affect the growth of mangroves. This research was conducted in October – December 2021. The purpose of the study was to determine the type, densi…
ABSTRACT Coastal and marine areas have the potential for anthropogenic pollution. Solid waste, especially plastic, is a pollutant that contributes greatly to polluting coastal areas. Plastic will degrade into small sizes known as microplastics. This research was conducted in January 2022 in the sea waters of Padang Tourism Beach (Air Manis Beach and Muaro Lasak Beach) and Pariaman Tourism …
Abstract Organic matter has an important role in marine ecology and it can be used as an indicator of water fertility. The content of organic matter in the waters in a certain amount can be useful for aquatic biota, but if it exceeds the acceptable threshold for the environment and organisms, it can cause disturbances. The content of organic matter in the waters will increase due to waste …
ABSTRACT This research was carried out in December 2021. Sampling and measurement of water quality were carried out in the Estuary of the Bukit Batu River, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. Sample analysis was continued at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Affairs, Riau University. The purpose of this study was to determine the e…
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of shoreline change and the level of abrasion in Bukit Batu Sub-District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province based on several physical variables in the coastal area. End Point Rate (EPR) is a method that can be used to calculate the rate of shoreline change by displaying transects according to their category (high abrasion, medium a…
ABSTRACT Community structure is a concept that studies the composition or composition of species and abundance in a community. Coastal waters are areas with a depth of less than 200 meters and there is a littoral area located between the highest tide and the lowest low tide or called the intertidal area. One of the community of organisms in this intertidal area is gastropods. This research…
ABSTRACT Telescopium telescopium is one of the biota that plays an important role in litter decomposition and mineralization of organic matter to reduce suspended levels and bacterial populations, wastewater from intensive shrimp farming effluents, and water pollution. The basic substrate consists of various types, including: silt, sandy silt, sand, and rocky. The type of basic substrate al…
Giant prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) are freshwater and brackish fishery commodities with high economic value, both for local and export markets. In 2008 the production of giant prawns in the Kuala Cenaku River experienced a significant decline. This is due to changes in water quality after the input of peat water from land conversion activities around the river. As a result, giant prawns c…
ABSTRACT This research was conducted in August 2021 in Apar Village, Pariaman City, West Sumatra Province. This study aims to determine the diversity and distribution pattern of gastropods in the mangrove ecosystem of Apar Village, Pariaman City. The method used in this research is a survey method. Sampling of gastropods was carried out by purposive sampling method and sediment sampling wa…
ABSTRACT The goal of this research was to find the optimal media for growing B. cereus bacteria with various carbon sources. This study used an experimental method with two Bacillus cereus bacterium isolates, namely B. cereus strain SN7 (isolate N) and a consortium of bacteria isolates (a combination of several B. cereus isolates with different strains). The two isolates were grown in sago…
The increasing amount of waste produced in big cities is a very serious problem that must be solved on an ongoing basis. Waste undergoes a decomposition process which eventually changes physically, chemically and biologically. The result of the decomposition process is leachate. Leachate contains a lot of nutrients needed by plants, including microalgae. To optimize the use of leachate, it …
The conservation of the terubuk resources is threatened due to the decline in water quality due to contamination of chemical waste and sawdust from the wood processing factory which is discharged into the water body of the Siak River, so that it is carried to the habitat of the terubuk fish. From the land side, the pressure on the habitat of the terubuk fish is also getting higher due to the da…
Abstract This research was carried out in January 2021 in the Intertidal Zone of Connecto Village, Silaut District, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the size variation of the bivalve, the distribution pattern of the bivalve, the effect of the type of sediment fraction on the size, and the distribution of the bivalve in the intertida…
ABSTRACT Sharks are predatory animals that dwell near coral reefs and swim at the ocean's bottom. Since the inclusion of many shark species in CITES Appendix II status in 2013, shark groups have become a global issue. This is owing to shark fishing's high exploitation, both as a target capture and as a bycatch. The city of Sibolga is strategically important as one of the key entry points f…
