“… 24 It is prone to various types of contamination because of the extensive human activities along the course of the river: Java Island is the most populated region and largest industrial center in Indonesia. 25 The Brantas River is rich in aquatic biota, including Gambusia affinis which has frequently been used in biomonitoring activities in many previous studies. 11 This species was used in this study because it has a wide distribution along the course of the Brantas River, 26 and is also very tolerant, adaptable, abundant, and easy to catch.…”

Background: Contamination of freshwater ecosystems has become a major issue as it threatens public water sources as well as aquatic life. It is important to predict changes in organism health, given a known number of environmental factors and pollutant concentrations, in order to better manage contaminants through biomarker analysis. This study aims to examine the ecosystem health of the Brantas River based on its environmental condition and the hematology profile of Gambusia affinis fish present in the river. This species was chosen because of its wide distribution along the Brantas River, and because it is very tolerant, adaptable, highly abundant, and easy to catch. Methods: The study area included 10 sampling sites along the Brantas River watershed. In total, six water quality parameters were observed (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia concentration, and phenol concentration) and hematology measurements consisted of erythrocyte, leucocyte, and micronuclei analyses. Results: The results showed that the upstream area of Brantas River, located in Batu, was the least polluted region, while Mojokerto was the most polluted. The erythrocyte level of Gambusia affinis caught in most sampling sites was quite low. Furthermore, research revealed that the status of Gambusia affinis' hematological profile was significantly correlated (p<0.05) with water quality parameters, particularly DO, BOD, ammonia, and phenol. Conclusions: It can be concluded from these results that the hematological profile of the fish is poor due to high levels of organic waste and harmful substances.

“…Apart from dealing with the problem of environmen-tal damage, the Bengawan Solo watershed has also been polluted by its rivers. The existence of pollution by liquid waste has resulted in a decrease in the quality of its tributary rivers (Roosmini et al, 2018). Water quality has continued to decline over the years to a year, this is illustrated by the results of the measurement of the pollution load for BOD, COD, and NH 3 N carried out in the Central Java Province Prokasih.…”

Bengawan Solo River experiences a critical environment characterized by promiscuity and unsanitary on the part of its coasts. The locality inhabitants do not take the waste to appropriate places. This waste adorns streets, tributaries rivers and therefore ends up in the Bengawan Solo river during the rainy season. The discharge of waste in these various unconventional and unofficial places causes all kinds of nuisances, degrades the conditions of life and health of the population, and especially worsens the state of insalubrity of the river. In the light of the results obtained, waste constitutes mountains of garbage dumped in the sides of the river, the gutters, along the rails, and especially in illegal dumps and very often, in places of stagnation of water. It turned out that this waste has an impact on the health of populations. From the objective through qualitative analyzes to research subjects, this research gives recommendations and contributions on Indonesian waste management regulations towards health risks prevention of inhabitants surrounding the riverbanks.

“…11,27 Assessment of water quality in the Brantas River using common methods such as pollution indices and the Storet method have been performed in several preceding studies. 25,28,29 However, understanding of the ecosystem health of Brantas River, which is associated with the biological systems of aquatic biota, is still limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the ecosystem health of the Brantas River based on its environmental condition and the hematological profile of Gambusia affinis present in the river.…”
