Judul: Kelimpahan dan Jenis Bakteri Vibrio pada Sedimen Tambak Udang Vaname Sebagai Deteksi Dini Serangan Penyakit Vibriosis
Abstrak: Komoditas akuakultur yang menjadi unggulan di Indonesia adalah udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei). Penyebab utama permasalahan pada budidaya udang adalah penyakit, salah satunya Vibriosis. Vibriosis merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Vibrio spp. Penyakit ini ditemukan pada budidaya udang di Tambak Pinang Gading, Lampung Selatan, Provinsi Lampung. Sedimen tambak merupakan tempat penguraian bahan organik dengan melibatkan aktivitas bakteri. Oleh karena itu, pengamatan mikroorganisme di sedimen tambak udang diperlukan untuk memitigasi kejadian penyakit dan penerapan manajemen kesehatan budidaya udang pada petak tambak budidaya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis kelimpahan dan jenis bakteri Vibrio pada sedimen tambak udang vaname sebagai deteksi dini serangan penyakit Vibriosis. Pengukuran kelimpahan bakteri (total bakteri, total bakteri Vibrio sp., total bakteri Vibrio koloni hijau, total bakteri Vibrio koloni kuning, dan total bakteri Vibrio parahaemolyticus) pada media budidaya dilakukan tiga kali, pada DOC 0, 29, dan 43 dengan pengenceran berseri metode cawan sebar untuk dihitung total koloninya. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive dan composite. Dilakukan konfirmasi bakteri V. parahaemolyticus strain AHPND dengan nested PCR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kelimpahan bakteri Vibrio koloni hijau mendominasi selama pengambilan sampel. Bakteri V. parahaemolyticus pada sedimen budidaya udang telah terekspresi sejak awal masa budidaya. Outbreak penyakit vibriosis mengakibatkan penurunan produksi yang signifikan. Teridentifikasi lima isolat bakteri V. parahaemolyticus strain AHPND dari hasil penelitian. Kata kunci: kelimpahan bakteri, Litopenaeus vannamei, sedimen tambak, vibriosis, The leading aquaculture commodity in Indonesia is vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The main cause of problems in shrimp farming is disease, one of which is Vibriosis. Vibriosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio spp. This disease was found in shrimp farming in Pinang Gading Ponds, South Lampung, Lampung Province. Pond sediment is a place for the decomposition of organic matter by involving bacterial activity. Therefore, observation of microorganisms in shrimp pond sediments is necessary to mitigate disease incidence and to implement shrimp farming health management in aquaculture ponds. The purpose of this study was to analyze the abundance and types of Vibrio bacteria in vannamei shrimp pond sediments as an early detection of Vibriosis disease. Measurement of bacterial abundance (total bacteria, total Vibrio sp. bacteria, total green Vibrio colony bacteria, total yellow Vibrio colony bacteria, and total Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria) in the culture media was carried out three times, at DOC 0, 29, and 43 with serial dilution method scatter plates to count the total colonies. Sampling was carried out purposively and compositely. Confirmation of V. parahaemolyticus strain AHPND was carried out by nested PCR. The results showed that the abundance of green colony Vibrio bacteria dominated during sampling. V. parahaemolyticus bacteria in shrimp culture sediments have been expressed since the beginning of the culture period. Outbreak of vibriosis resulted in a significant decrease in production. Five isolates of V. parahaemolyticus strain AHPND were identified from the research results. Keywords: bacterial abundance, Litopenaeus vannamei, sediment pond, vibriosis

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
