The purpose of this study was to analyze the types and abundance of microplastics in the water and body (stomach and intestines) of Kapiek fish. Water sam…
This research was conducted from August to September 2024 in the mangrove ecosystem areasurrounding Tanjung Buton Port, Siak Regency,Riau Province. The study aimed to identify the types and composition of marine debris found in the mangrove ecosystem around the port area. The research employed a survey method with purposive sampling at three observation stations. Each station consisted of 50-me…
This study aimed to analyze the morphological differences of Kapiek fish (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii) between the Kampar Kiri and Kampar Kanan Rivers and to determine the relationship between morphological variation and environmental conditions. The research was conducted from June to August 2025 in Mentulik Village (Kampar Kiri River) and Lubuk Siam Village (Kampar Kanan River), Kampar Regency,…
This study aims to identify the types and abundance of microplastics in the Sibam River, Pekanbaru City, Riau Province. The research was conducted from August to September 2025 using a survey method at three observation stations representing the upstream, middle, and downstream areas of the river. Water samples (50 L) were filtered using a No. 25 plankton net, and microplastic particles were an…
In the Koto Panjang Dam, there were 3 zones that have different characteristics. The inlet zone characterized by slow current (St1, 0.83m/sec), in the middle of the lake the current was faster (St2, 1.23 m/sec) and there were floating net cageactivities and thus fish feed remains present in the water. Whilein theoutlet area the current was stronger (St3, 1.49 m/sec), and there was no aquacultur…
This study was conducted in October-November 2024, at Lake Panjang and Lake Lubuk Siam, Siak Hulu District, Kampar Regency, Riau Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a and the carbon absorption potential of phytoplankton based on chlorophyll-a. Samples were collected at three stations in each lake. The main parameters measured were chlorophyll-a …
Coastal areas play a vital role as habitats for various aquatic organisms, including the economically valuable blood cockle (Anadara granosa), which also serves as a potential bioindicator of environmental quality. However, habitat degradation caused by coastal abrasion, pollution, and mangrove destruction along the Bengkalis coast may affect the abundance and A. granosa. This study aimed to id…
CO2 emissions increase atmospheric CO2 concentrations, leading to acid rain, which ultimately enters water bodies and affects CO2 concentrations. To reduceCO2 emissions, it's important to understand the carbon sequestration in water bodies. Carbon sequestration describes the amount of carbondioxide that phytoplankton successfully binds. The purpose of this study was to determine the the carbon …
The kerang kepah (Meretrix meretrix) is a bivalve mollusk species, characterized by a smooth shell that is white, brownish, to dark brownish-black in color. However, information regarding it’s population status and the influencing environmental factors remains limited. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the density of the kerang kepah (Meretrix meretrix) and the sediment o…
Channa lucius inhabit the Sepunjung Oxbow Lake. Nowadays, however, large fish was almost none and only small sized fishes present. As there is fish capture activities and polutant present in the lake, it is necessary to understand the life of the fish in the lake, whether the fish is suffer from the water quality decrement and they do not grow well or the fish growing well but the larger sized …
The mangroves in Buruk Bakul Village are not far from residential areas, making them vulnerable to overexploitation for firewood and charcoal. In addition, shipping activities have caused damage to the mangrove ecosystem due to oil spills, and mangrove land has also been converted into shrimp ponds. These conditions may reduce the ecological functions and roles of mangroves as nutrient transfor…
This study analyzes the ecomorphology of the striped eel catfish (Plotosus canius) across three stations in the waters of Concong Luar to examine how environmental differences influence morphometric variation. Nineteen morphological characters were measured and analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney test, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Kruskal– Wallis results in…
Tapung Kiri River in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, is utilized for various activities such as household needs, fisheries, agriculture, sand mining, and transportation of plantation products. This study aims to analyze the pollution level using the CCME Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI, Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment). Sampling was conducted at three stations representing upstrea…
Barbodes schwanenfeldii was found in the Meranti River (flowing water) and in the Barak Panjang Swamp (static water). Water condition differences may affects the biological aspects of fish, including the reproduction and growth aspects that is reflected in the otolith growth ring pattern. To understand these biological aspects, a study has been conducted on May-July 2025. The reproductive biolo…
