Concentrations of some heavy metals in Mytilus edulis (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn), Ostrea angasi (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn). Portunus pelagicus (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn), Chaetopterus variopedatus (Cd, Cu and Zn), Posidonia spp. and their epiphytes (Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn), and Ulva lactuca (Cd, Cu, Fe. Mn, Pb and Zn) from Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, are reported. The highest concentrations of Cd; Cr and Pb in M. edulis and Cd and Zn in O. angasi were found in those animals taken from the vicinity of industrial effluent discharge points. Further, elevated concentrations of some metals were noted in the hepatopan- creas of Portunus pelagicus and in C. variopedatus and U. lactuca. Significant correlation coefficients for Cd-Cu, Cd-Fe, Cd-Zn, Cu-Fe, Cu-Zn and Fe-Zn in M. edulis indicated that elevated heavy metal levels resulted from industrial effluent discharges. Significant correlation coefficients for Cd-Zn and Cd-carapace width were found in the female crab P.pelagicus only. C. variopedatus and U. lactuca, unlike Posidonia spp. and their epiphytes, showed potential as trace metal indicators.

Rajungan (Portunus pelagicus) merupakan komoditas laut yang memiliki nilai ekonomis yang tinggi, dimana berbanding lurus dengan penangkapan yang terus meningkat. Tingkat pemanfaatan yang tidak mengindahkan ukuran dan kondisi rajungan dapat mempengaruhi struktur ukuran dan stok rajungan di suatu perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui distribusi ukuran, hubungan lebar dan berat rajungan serta distribusi tingkat kematangan gonad (TKG) di perairan Betahwalang, Demak. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey dengan analisis yang bersifat deskriptif yang dilakukan secara “time-series”. Pengamatan sampel rajungan sebesar 10% dari hasil tangkapan yang didaratkan oleh setiap nelayan di pengepul rajungan.. Hasil dari penelitian ini menujukkan dari 3030 ekor rajungan yang diamati diketahui distribusi lebar karapas rajungan berkisar antara 35 – 185 mm dan kisaran berat sebesar 10 – 350 gram. Rajungan yang terdapat di perairan Betahwalang memiliki pertumbuhan yang bersifat allometrik positif pada rajungan jantan dan betina pada bulan Januari serta Februari.  Hasil nilai b sebesar 3,29 dan 3,08 (Januari & Februari) pada rajungan jantan. Nilai b sebesar 3,10 dan 3,15  pada rajungan betina (Januari & Februari) serta nilai b sebesar 3,14 pada keseluruhan rajungan. Sehingga diketahui pertumbuhan lebar karapas lebih cepat dibandingkan bobot rajungan. Sedangkan distribusi tingkat kematangan gonad rajungan betina adalah 21% pada TKG 1; 63% pada TKG 2; serta 16% pada TKG 3, dengan ukuran pertama kali matang gonad adalah 141,51 mm. Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is a marine commodity has a high economic value , which is causing the crab catch to rise as well. The catch rate that does not consider the size and maturity of sea crab can affect the size structure and population stock of sea crab in waters. This study aims to determine the size distribution,the relationship of width and weight of Blue swimming crab and distribution of gonad maturity in Betahwalang, Demak. There’s a descriptive survey method used in this study with time-series observations. The sample size is about 10% of the total number landed crab from each fisherman. The results of this study showed that from 3030 crabs observed, the distribution of crab carapace width ranged from 35 – 185 mm and the weight range at 10 – 350 gram. The results showed the all crabs has a positive allometric on growth parameters. The value of  b 3,29 and 3,08 (January & February) in male blue swimming crab, 3.10 and 3.15 (January & February) on female sea crabs, and 3.14 on whole sea crabs. So it is known that the growth of carapid width is faster than the weight of crab. While the distribution of female crab gonad maturity level is 21% in level 1; 63% in level 2; and 16% in level 3, with the first size of mature gonad at 141,51 mm.

Penangkapan rajungan yang intensif di perairan Kotabaru memerlukan kajian biologi dan dinamika populasi sebagai dasar dalam menentukan pengelolaan yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji aspek biologi, dinamika populasi dan tingkat pemanfaatan sumberdaya rajungan di perairan Kotabaru. Penelitian dilakukan pada Januari – November 2016 di daerah pendaratan rajungan di Kotabaru. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan tiap bulan berbasis enumerator dengan metode random sampling. Analisis dinamika populasi dilakukan dengan model analitik berdasarkan pergeseran modus struktur ukuran lebar karapas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan modus ukuran rajungan tertangkap adalah 110 mmCW pada jantan dan 120 mmCW pada betina. Pertumbuhan bobot rajungan jantan lebih tinggi dibandingkan betina. Nisbah kelamin rajungan tidak seimbang dengan perbandingan jantan dan betina adalah 1,7 : 1. Ukuran rata-rata pertama kali matang gonad (Lm) rajungan betina adalah 110,25 mmCW. Lebar karapas asimptotik (CW) rajungan adalah 179,2 mmCW pada jantan dan 183,6 mmCW pada betina. Laju pertumbuhan rajungan (K) adalah 1,36 per tahun pada jantan dan 1,11 per tahun pada betina. Laju eksploitasi (E) rajungan sebesar 0,68 pada jantan dan 0,77 pada betina menunjukkan tingkat pemanfaatan lebih tangkap (overfishing). Pengelolaan yang disarankan adalah mengurangi upaya penangkapan sekitar 54% dari 4.190 unit armada jaring rajungan, penentuan ukuran minimum rajungan yang boleh tertangkap sebesar 110 mmCW sebagai masukan bila ada revisi terhadap peraturan tentang penangkapan rajungan dan dilakukan penutupan penangkapan pada beberapa daerah asuhan. Intensive fishing on blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus, 1758) in Kotabaru waters requires biological study and population dynamic as bases to determine proper management. The current research aims to study biological aspects, population dynamic and exploitation rate of crab in Kotabaru waters. The research was conducted on January-November 2016 at landing site of crab in Kotabaru. Samples were collected every month by enumerator with random sampling method. Population dynamic was analysed by analytical model. Results show that the mode of carapace width was 110 mmCW in males and 120 mmCW in females. The growth in weight of male was greater than female. Sex ratio of male and female crabs was (1.7:1). Length at first (Lm) of female crab was 110.25 mmCW. The asymptotic carapace width (CW) of crab was 179.2 mmCW for male and 183.6 mmCW for female. The growth rate of crab (K) was 1.36 year-1 for male and 1.11 year-1 for female. The explotation rate (E) of crab was 0.68 for males and 0.77 for female so that the exploitation was overfished. From the results obtained, it suggests that the fishing effort should be reduced to 54% of 4.190 gillnet fleet and the minimum legal size would be at 110 mmCW as input for regulation if is needed and it should be determined the closure of fishing activities in some nursery grounds.

In this research, in order to observe the seasonal change between April 2014 and February 2015, heavy metal contents in the water, sediment and the Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782) tissues (muscle, gill and liver) growing in Eber Lake were determined. The obtained results showed that trace elements were founded in water, sediment and fish tissues. Among the average annual concentrations of water samples, the highest concentration was found for Mn (0.1584 mg/L) element and the lowest concentration was found for Pb element in the spring season. the maximum Average annual concentration was calculated for Mn (0.1584 mg/L, Spring) and the minimum was determined for Pb in water. In the sediment, Fe (16245.84 mg/kg, Spring) was found to be maximum and Co was the minimum. In fish, the highest concentrations were found in liver (Mo, Ni, Pb, Co, Cu, Fe), while the lowest concentrations were found in gill (Mn, Zn) and muscle (Cd, Cr, Se) tissues While the highest heavy metal concentrations were observed in the sediment, the minimum was found in the fish tissues (the ranking was the following; liver, gill and muscle). It was concluded that the heavy metal levels measured in the Lake Eber have no risk to the environment and to the public health.

ABSTRAK: Rajungan (P. pelagicus, Linnaeus, 1758) adalah salah satu hasil perikanan utama di Betahwalang, Demak. Penangkapan rajungan diduga dilakukan secara intensif oleh nelayan di Des Betahwalang, maka diperlukan langkah pengelolaan yang tepat untuk menjaga kelestarian dan konservasi rajungan. Informasi aspek morfometri rajungan bias digunakan sebagai salah satu acuan dalam pengelolaan rajungan berkelanjutan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengkaji tingkat kematangan gonad dan morfometri rajungan yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli – September 2019 di Desa Betahwalang, Demak. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey dengan analisis yang bersifat deskriptif yang dilakukan secara “time-series”. Pengamatan sampel rajungan sebesar 10% dari hasil tangkapan yang didaratkan oleh setiap nelayan di pengepul rajungan. Total rajungan yang diamati 5.480 ekor terdiri dari betina 2.960 ekor dan jantan 2.388 ekor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertumbuhan rajungan jantan bersifat allometrik positif, sedangkan rajungan betina cenderung bersifat allometrik negatif dengan seks rasio relatif seimbang. Rajungan betina diduga mengalami pertama kali matang gonad pada selang kelas lebar karapas 70 – 79 mm. Sampel pengamatan fekunditas dan kematangan telur pada 126 ekor rajungan betina bertelur. Kematangan telur dilihat dari pigmen warnanya secara berurutan mulai pigmen warna kuning, orange, coklat dan hitam, serta berdasarkan ukuran diameter telur. Fekunditas telur memiliki korelasi yang sangat kuat terhadap lebar karapas yang berarti semakin besar ukuran rajungan, maka jumlah telur semakin banyak. Selama penelitian masih ditemukan rajungan “undersize” sebesar 18% (981 ekor) dan rajungan betina bertelur sebesar 24% (716 ekor), yang berarti nelayan di Desa Betahwalang belum menerapkan kriteria dan ukuran layak tangkap sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku.ABSTRACT: Blue swimming crab (P. pelagicus, Linnaeus, 1758) is one of main fisheries products in Betahwalang, Demak. High-intensity levels of catching the blue swimmer crab by fisherman may need sustainable management to protect and conserve the population. The purpose of this study was to determine about gonad maturity level and morphometrical aspect of blue swimming crab started from July – September 2019. There’s a descriptive survey method used in this study with time-series observations. The sample size is about 10% of the total number landed crab from each fisherman. The total sample are 5.348 that consist of 2.960 female crabs and 2.388 male crabs. The results showed the male crabs has a positive allometric on growth parameters, but the females have an allometric positive and negative growth parameters, and balanced sex-ratio. Female crabs may reach the first matured gonad level between 70 – 79 mm of carapace width. Fecundity and egg’s maturity observation used 126 berried female crabs. The egg’s maturity based on the pigment color started from yellow, became orange, brown and black also by egg diameter increase. The analysis showed that female crab fecundity has a strong correlation to the increase of carapace width, which means carapace width increase followed by egg’s amount increasing. During the study, it was found about 18% (981 crabs) the undersize crabs (<100 mm) and 24% (716 crabs) the berried female crabs, which means the Betahwalang fisherman hasn’t applied the rule yet.

Abstract Collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis Temminck, 1815), have more opportunities to accumulate heavy metals due to migration but they are more resistant to contamination in contrast to tits, (Parus major Linnaeus, 1758, Parus caeruleus Linnaeus, 1758). This research aimed to detect concentrations of some trace elements in eggs of the collared flycatcher, great tit and blue tit in different areas. There were found differences in heavy metal concentrations in the eggs among species and study areas. For collared flycatchers there were not established consistent patterns of changes in element concentrations among areas. The highest heavy metal levels were found in tits in samples of egg contents from a forest park (Pb - 3.1410 ± 0.3249, Cu - 19.3290 ± 1.4840, Zn - 66.9612 ± 17.6665, Fe - 249.5513 ± 40.2800, Mn - 6.9032 ± 0.2946, Ca - 8298.3570 ± 0.1080, Sr - 17.6032 ± 0.7512, Ni - 0.5177 ± 0.0220). The lowest concentrations were found in egg contents of tits in Hetmanskyi National Nature Park (Cu - 4.3492 ± 0.2079, Fe - 44.6647 ± 0.2627, Mn - 1.3194 ± 0.2374, Ca - 998.7001 ± 0.0006, Ni - 0.2443 ± 0.0439, Cr - 0.1466 ± 0.0424). The results indicate that heavy metals accumulated differently in shells and contents of eggs of collared flycatchers and tits in each of the study area. Some of microelements (zinc, mercury, iron, manganese, selenium and iodine) in small amounts are required for normal growth and development of birds. Heavy metal concentrations in egg shells and egg contents of all species did not exceed permissible levels.
