Heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) on brown seaweed samples obtained from three different sites. The average concentration of heavy metals in the dry weight of brown seaweed remains within the guidelines established by The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) Number 32 of 2019 concerning the Safety and Quality of Traditional Medicines, which is then used to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ and TTHQ), and target cancer risk (TCR) for arsenic associated with food exposure to potentially toxic metallic elements. Each species of brown seaweed has a THQ and TTHQ level of <1, indicating that one or more toxic metal elements in the same meal provide no significant non-carcinogenic risk. The TCR for arsenic in these seaweeds are all less than 1 x 10-4, indicating no cancer risk. There are no chronic health hazards related with the ingestion of brown seaweed harvested from the coast of Sanur Beach at Denpasar, Bali.","PeriodicalId":17760,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47085717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Continuous exploitation activities in the natural habitat can potentially disturb the sustainability of lobster resources. This species is known to produce sound with certain characteristics and highly dependent on environmental changes. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of sound as a representation of behaviour. The sound produced by P. homarus was recorded for 24 hours using a hydrophone (a passive acoustic technique). The hydrophone converts the sound wave produced by the lobsters into electric voltage in millivolts, then were converted to a digital number, in order to be saved in a virtual format with the *.wav extension. The video system captured data on behaviors of resting, territoriality, aggression, and social attitudes. The results showed that P. homarus emitted rasp, slow rattle, and popping type of sound, with certain characteristics. All sounds types were characterized by a broadband frequency (4 - 20 kHz), and a source level ranging from 125 - 145 dB re 1 µPa. Rasp sound consisting of 12 - 40 pulses with a sound duration of 100 - 400 ms, represents a defensive behavior. Slow rattle sound with 2 - 7 pulses did not represent a specific behaviour and it is dominant during the night. However, the popping sound with only one pulse represented feeding behavior.","PeriodicalId":17760,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49627192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The safety, adherence, and enzymatic activity of three bacterial strains (Bacillus sp. PCP1, Lactococcus sp. JAL 37, and Enterobacter sp. JC05) were investigated.

This study studied the influence of autoclaving duration followed by alkaline hydrolysis on nano-calcium characteristics to enhance calcium solubility in in vitro gastrointestinal simulation experiments. The dried grouper (Epinephelus sp.) bone was divided into four groups: 0A (no autoclaving), 3A (3 h autoclaving), 2x3A (double cycle for 3 h autoclaving), and 3x3A (triple cycle for 3 h autoclaving).

Studies of hydrogen sulphide reduction in sediments polluted by crude oil have been carried out recently to investigate the capability of indigenous Nitrate-Reducing Sulphide Oxidising Bacteria, hereinafter referred to as NR-SOB, as bioremediation agents. The experiments utilised hydrogen sulphide with 200 µM concentration combined with NO3 with different concentrations of 100 µM, 200 µM, and 300 µM. Measurements of the hydrogen sulfide concentrations were observed up to 48 hours within the experimental period. The SOB used in this study were taken from Balongan Bay at Indramayu coast using Nansen bottle to carry out water sample. The sulphide-oxidising ability of SOB was then evaluated at room temperature in control environment. Methylene blue method was applied to monitor the sulphide concentration. The results showed a complete removal of hydrogen sulphide concentrations in 48 hours accompanied with gradual drops of nitrate in all experiment series. Sulphide oxidation rate was detected to appear between 6.8 and 10.2 fmol/cell/hour. Measurements of cell abundance after 48 hours showed 6.2 x 105, 7.5 X 105, and 8.2 X 105 cell/ml from Experiments I, II, and III respectively.

AbstractBar-cheek coral trout (P. leopardus) is the flagship of the grouper in the live fish market in Asia. Unfortunately, the potential of the grouper is still partly produced from natural catches. Even though hybridisation activities have also started to be carried out, there still have not been many studies on the genetic diversity of these fish. The application of molecular identification has been widely applied in marine aquatic animal species, which are very likely to occur due to errors in terms of shape and colour in the morphological character.

Fish infected with E. tarda showed several clinical symptoms, including rapid operculum movement, irregular and slow swimming, and bleeding on the skin. The results of the histopathological analysis showed that in muscle and gill tissue, treatment C (75%) showed the lowest damage value among other treatments with an average score of necrosis 0.93, hyaline degeneration 1.33, and Edema 1.27.

Hence, this study was done to determine the occurrence of macro- and micro-plastics on the Pasir Pandak Beach, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. Transect quadrat was used during the samples collection on the beach. The samples were then undergone the wet peroxide oxidation, filtering and classifying under dissecting microscope. Macroplastics were isolated for ATR-FTIR and SEM analyses, while microplastics were separated according to their sizes, colors, and types. Approximately 101.70 items/m2 of macro-plastics and 1084 items/m2 of micro-plastics were found in this study. Clean Coast Index (CCI) was also estimated and the calculated CCI value obtained was >20, which indicated as extremely dirty beach.

Clear/white, black, and blue were the main colors for microplastics. SEM images presented that those adhering particles, grooves, pits, fractures, and flakes were the common patterns of degradation. No relationship was apparent between macro- and micro-plastics at each station. The abundance of macro- and micro-plastics showed that they were mainly controlled by the land-based input. As Pasir Pandak beach is busy with local communities and beachgoers, the presence of macro- and micro-plastics on the beach posing a severe threat for marine environment, thus further studies on the behavior of this emerging pollutant from beach to the seas are necessary.","PeriodicalId":17760,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44839490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
