The object of this study is the concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc) in sediment samples taken from the Tigris, Euphrates, and Shatt al-Arab rivers during the autumn 2021 to summer 2022. According to the analyses performed using the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, showed the seasonal average of heavy metal concentrations ranges between the lowest value (7.46 µg/g) for nickel in summer and the highest value (785.08 µg/g) for iron during winter in exchangeable phase. Measurements were made of variables that influenced how heavy metals were distributed in the sediments, as shown by (total organic carbon, and grain size analysis) which revealed a relationship between the concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments and these variables, suggesting that pollution from various human activities – the main cause of the high concentrations of some heavy elements in the study area's sediments above the global natural rates. Geo Accumulation Index (I-geo) for heavy elements in the sediments was also determined, and it showed that the yearly rate of the concentrations of the metals varied between the lowest value (–6.912) of Iron and the maximum value (6.767) for cadmium. Additionally, it was determined the enrichment coefficient (EF) for the heavy elements in the sediments, where the annual rate of the metals ranged between the lowest value (3.23) for manganese and the highest value (10406.58) for cadmium, and was accounted the contamination factor (CF) for the heavy metals in the sediments, where the annual average of the metals ranged between the lowest value (0.012) for iron and the highest value (163.4) for cadmium. If our findings are compared to those of previous study, this will be lies within previous data. This is very important data it can be used as a baseline for coming study, and also used as a reference in other countries.

“…Temperature is also very influential on the life and growth of aquatic biota. Water bodies are influenced by season, latitude, time of day, air circulation, cloud cover, water flow, and depth (Lee et al 2014;Hamuna et al 2021;Pujiyati et al 2022). Temperature controls behavioral characteristics of organisms, solubility of gases and salts in water (Vincy et al 2012).…”

“…Organisms need dissolved oxygen (DO) in waters for respiration, metabolic processes, the exchange of substances, and energy production for growth and reproduction. Furthermore, DO is one of the parameters needed by aquatic biota, and the decrease in oxygen in the waters is very dangerous for the life of aquatic organisms (Manalu et al 2011;Hamuna et al 2021). Based on observation results, the range of DO varied from 5 to 5.3.…”

Abstract. Sari A, Tuwo A, Saru A, Rani C. 2022. Diversity of fauna species in the mangrove ecosystem of Youtefa Bay Tourism Park, Papua, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4490-4500. Youtefa Bay Tourism Park is a mangrove ecosystem in Jayapura City, Papua, Indonesia with high importance for biodiversity conservation as well as providing livelihood for local communities. Yet, information regarding the biological diversity of the mangrove ecosystem is lacking. This information is important to assess the state of the mangrove and to support its sustainable management of this area. This research aimed to determine the faunistic diversity of Youtefa Bay Tourism Park. The research was conducted from August 2019 to February 2020 using line transect method with quadrant to record species and the number of individuals. The results showed that in the studied area there were six, five and 27 species of birds, reptiles and macrozoobenthos, respectively. The density of birds ranged from 2.35-23.94 ind/ha with Sterna hirundo of the Sternidae family having the highest density. The reptile species density ranged between 20 and 66.67 ind/ha, while the most common macrozoobenthos species were from Gastropoda and Pelecypoda classes. The highest and lowest relative abundance for birds were S. hirundo and Sula lencogastes with 20% and 5%, while that of reptiles were Mabouya sp. and Varanus salvadorii with 37% and 15%, and for macrozoobenthos species were Duplicaria duplicata and Solen sp. with 9.93% and 0.35%, respectively. The Diversity Index (H’) of birds, reptiles, and macrozoobenthos ranged of 0.29-1.39, 0.27-1.61, and 2.92-3.04, respectively. The diversity index was as low at Abepantai and Youtefa Bay Pier, while moderate at Tobati, Enggros, and Nafri Villages. Water quality parameters indicated that the waters in Youtefa Bay Tourism Park were still suitable for the survival of biota and the preservation of the mangrove ecosystem. The results of this study might be useful for monitoring the status of the mangrove ecosystem in the future and for baseline information in developing sustainable management of Youtefa Bay Tourism Park.

“…Heavy metals, which are also referred to as metalloids, are products from natural and numerous anthropogenic activities, and are toxic to the environment (Ali et al, 2019). Heavy metals are deposited into the aquatic environment as constituents ofeffluent/waste discharge, surface runoffs, water transportation activities, and atmospheric depositions (Hamuna, Wanimbo, 2021). The main route of heavy metals into aquatic ecosystems is the deposition of surface runoff from their watershed and direct deposit from industrial waste.…”

Fish (Gymnarchus niloticus) and sediment samples were used as bioindicators of heavy metal contamination in the ecological assessment of the Ossiomo River. These samples were collected monthly (August 2021 to January 2022) and analysed for heavy metal content using standard methods. Results from this study showed that both the sediment and fish were contaminated with heavy metals. Heavy metal concentration profile of Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu > Pb > Cr > Cd was observed in the sediment. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) for heavy metals in G. niloticus were > 1, with an order of Cd > Zn > Mn > Cu > Cr > Fe > Pb (gills); Cu > Cd > Zn > Cr > Mn > Fe > Pb (liver), and Mn > Zn > Cu > Cr > Fe > Cd > Pb (muscles). The pollution load index (PLI) values across the three study stations indicate that there is heavy metal pollution of the sediment (PLI > 1). Potential ecological risk index (PERI) assessment showed that stations 1 and 3 exhibited considerable ecological risk (300 < RI ≤ 600), while station 2 indicated a very high ecological risk (RI > 600). There is a need for periodic water quality assessment and monitoring of human and industrialactivities within the Ossiomo River catchment area in order to forestall further deposition of more pollutants into the river and protect public health.
