ABSTRAKPada bagian hulu Sungai Cihideung terdapat aktivitas pertanian, ladang, budidaya perikanan, dan jarang ditemukan pemukiman penduduk. Limpasan aktivitas pertanian dan budidaya perikanan, limpasan dari bengkel, dan limpasan dari pemukiman penduduk, akan berpengaruh terhadap karakteristik kualitas air sungai. Penelitian dilakukan di Sungai Cihideung, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Pengambilan contoh dilakukan sebanyak 3 kali dengan selang waktu 2 minggu. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui status kualitas air Sungai Cihideung, mulai dari Desa Purwasari, Kecamatan Dramaga, yang merupakan bagian hulu, hingga hilir yakni di belakang gedung Unit Satwa Harapan, Fakultas Peternakan, IPB di Desa Babakan. Karakteristik kualitas air sungai dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan pertimbangan dalam melakukan pengelolaan kualitas air sungai yang berkaitan dengan masukan dari lingkungan sekitarnya.

Kematian massal ikan pada budi daya ikan dalam karamba jaring apung di Waduk Ir. H. Djuanda hampir selalu terjadi setiap tahun. Deplesi oksigen merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi kondisi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji atau menentukan kemampuan perairan dalam menerima beban bahan organik. Penelitian dilakukan di Waduk Ir. H. Djuanda dari bulan Juni 2003 sampai dengan Mei 2004, dengan interval pengambilan contoh setiap bulan. Pengambilan contoh dilakukan di wilayah lakustrin yaitu stasiun L1, L2, dan L3 dan wilayah transisi stasiun T1, T2, dan T3. Pengambilan contoh vertikal meliputi permukaan, kedalaman 7, 15, 25, dan 35 m, dan dasar perairan. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah survei post fakto. Analisis contoh dilakukan di laboratorium produktivitas perairan, Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan, Institut Pertanian Bogor dan laboratorium kimia Loka Riset Pemacuan Stok Ikan, Jatiluhur. Parameter yang dianalisis adalah oksigen terlarut, bahan organik total, dan K2 (koefisien peluruhan), sedangkan parameter penunjang adalah suhu dan H2S. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan bahan organik menyebabkan deplesi oksigen semakin tajam pada musim hujan di wilayah lakustrin. Konsentrasi bahan organik yang aman adalah 7,76 mg per l. Mass mortality of fishes at Ir. H. Djuanda Reservoir occurs almost every year. Oxygen depletion is one factor that affect the condition. There fore, this research should be done. The carrying capacity at Ir. H. Djuanda Reservoir to receive organic loading were determined in this study. The research conducted at Ir. H. Djuanda Reservoir from June 2003 until May 2004. Horizontal sampling station was conducted based on longitudinal gradient i.e. lacustrine zone (L1, L2, and L3), and transition zone (T1, T2, and T3). Vertical sampling points were at surface, at the depth of 7 m, 15, 25, 35, and 45 m, and at the bottom. Sample analysis carried out in physical chemical laboratory of Aquatic Resources Management Department, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, IPB and chemical laboratory Loka Jatiluhur. The methods of this research were post facto survey descriptive. Dissolved oxygen, total organic matter, and BOD were observed during research.temperature and H2S were observed to support the study. The results showed that the increasing of organic matter cause the steep of oxygen depletion in transition of wet season at lacustrine zone. Acceptable concentration of total organic matter was 7.76 mg per l.

ABSTRAK

Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) are aquatic mammals with critically endangered status able to live in different water salinities habitats, like estuary, rivers and lakes. Banten Bay features estuarine area where rapid economic development, contributed from industry, ports, mining and fisheries, takes place, and thus the presence of Irrawaddy dolphins in the area faces various environmental threats. This research aimed to study the distribution of Irrawaddy dolphins in Banten Bay and explore environmental factors threatening its life. Dolphins observation was conducted from January 2013-February 2014, using direct visual effort by team of observer and indirect effort by local fishermen. Direct visual effort was performed on boat by three observers, with maximum vessel speed 15 km/hour and total length of transect was 404 Km. Indirect visual effort comprised of regular assessment by 32 local fishermen when they conducted capture fishing at two different areas (South and North of Banten Bay). Sightings data from direct and indirect visual observation compiled with respondents opinion were mapped using Arc View ® GIS 3.3, resulting in distribution map of Irrawaddy dolphin in Banten Bay. Irrawaddy dolphin was most frequently observed in the northeast, south and central areas of the bay. Environmental threats alarming the lives of Irrawaddy dolphin in the Banten Bay may include noise pollution, boat accident and entanglement.
