Judul: Produktivitas dan Seagrass Residence Index (SRI) Padang Lamun Malang Rapat, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau
Abstrak: Degradation of seagrass ecosystems will affect the biodiversity, carrying capacity, and fisheries productivity. The purposes of this study was to examine the condition of Malang Rapat seagrass, fish productivity and relationship between seagrass and fish used Seagrass Residence Index (SRI) method. Sampling of seagrass was conducted from 16 to 30 October 2013 using step and go method; fish ware conducted with snapper trap’s as the fishing gear. Species of seagrass found were Enhalus acoroides, Halophila ovalis, and Syringodium isoetifolium. Percentage cover of Malang Rapat seagrass more than 60 % (healthy) and damaged below 25% (low damage). There are eight species of fish found there area, of them three were dominate: red-spot emperor (Lethrinus lentjan), indian snapper (Lutjanus madras), and delagoa threadfin bream (Nemipterus bipunctatus). The indian snapper (Lutjanus madras) is the dominant fish which have the largest SRI with a productivity is 423,03 g.m-2year-1

Abstrak: Seagrass is a complex aquatic ecosystem in trophics area with high productivity and biodiversity. This ecosystem play role of physics, chemistry, and biology. Biologically, seagrass used as spawning, feeding, and nursery ground for aquatic biota, especially fish. Seagrass is part of the coastal region where there are many human activities, such as coastal development, overfishing, boat traffic, and sand mining. One of the seagrass areas with high human activity around is Karang Lebar shallow waters, Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta. Types of data taken in this research is primary data, including environmental parameters, condition of seagrass and fishes that live in it. Fishes caught by gill net with mesh size from 0.5 – 3 cm. Sampling conducted in day and night, started from March until May 2011 with the arrest period twice a month. Observations were made at three stations of seagrass beds with different covering conditions (healthy, less healthy, and poor). Sorensen similarity index, constancy index, and fidelity index were used to determine the relationship of fish associated with seagrasses. In addition, it also used statistical tests such as Pearson correlation, biplot analysis, and Two Way ANOVA as a tool to test the truth of descriptive analysis results based on the facts as represented by data. Three seagrass species found in the observation area include Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, and Halophila ovalis. The highest cover obtained from Cymodocea rotundata. Value of total cover ranged between 26.5 % - 82.13 %. The highest INP of the species obtained from Cymodocea rotundata, indicate that these organisms have a great influence to the ecosystem. Fish were caught consist of 37 species and 22 genera. Total abundance was found in all three observation stations for 2287 individuals (healthy seagrass), 547 individuals (less healthy seagrass), and 889 individuals (poor seagrass). Pre-adult fish dominate at each station. While the most commonly species found are Hypoatherina temmincki, Gerres oyena, and Scolopsis lineatus. The catch composition on day and night differ in terms of abundance, type and size of the species. Adult fish were more common at night, although abundance in day were more than in the night. Based on size and species composition, healthy seagrass and less healthy seagrass functioning as nursery ground and feeding ground, while poor seagrass tend to play a role as feeding ground, especially for carnivorous fish. Change of the diversity and dominance value in the day and night allegedly due to the activity or movement of fish, which is not a permanent resident in seagrass. Referring Tomascik et al. (1997), permanent resident fish found in the observation area is Apogon margaritiphorus. Based on Sorensen similarity index, the fishes were divided into six groups of species. Constancy index ranging from 0-1, while fidelity index ranges from 0-3. Group of species 1 has a high preference on healthy and poor seagrasses, and low preference in unhealthy seagrasses. Healthy seagrass also preferred by group 6, which include Apogon kallopterus, Apogon margaritiphorus, Hemirhapus far, Chrysiptera hemicyanea, and Syngnathoides biaculeatus. Groups of species that have a high preference towards less healthy habitat is group 4, with Stethojulis balteata, and Chaetodon

Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
