Abstrak: Freshwater eels are usually considered catadromous because they spawn in marine waters and the juveniles grow in freshwater habitats following a long migration from their offshore spawning area. The objective of this research is to study the distribution, the pattern of growth, and present in system information. Field sampling was conducted in 7 rivers (Cimandiri, Cipalabuhan, Citepus, Cisukawayana, Cimaja, Citiis, and Cibareno) from July to October 2013. Glass eel and elver were kept in absolute alcohol, futhermore it used for calculating length weight relationship and condition factor. The making of eel migration flash animation refers to the system development cycle of The Waterfall Model. The result of the research showed that eels is present in each river with the highest catches in Cimaja River. In terms of growth pattern, both A. bicolor bicolor and A. marmorata juvenile have positive allometric, while glass eel have negative allometric. Eel condition factor values between one to another station is not much different. Cimaja River potentially as eel resources conservation area. Additionaly, eel migration information system has been implemented in flash animation.

Judul: Analysis Catching Activity of Eel Elver on the Water of Cimandiri Estuary, Palabuhanratu Bay, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Eels (Anguilla sp.) are potential export commodities. However, there is a decrease in the number of eel elvers. Eel farming is still difficult to do if it starts from the stage of eggs and larvae. So, fishermen catch eel elver at the river or sea. Then, the elvers have been raised in fishpond. The current research attempts to describe the catching activities of eel elvers, to describe the condition of eel elver resources, and to estimate the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll-a and fishing ground of eels at Cimandiri’s estuaries, Palabuhanratu Bay. The Research conducted on January to April 2012. Data were collected by interviews and also downloaded SST and chlorofil-a concentration images on http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov and http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/. The results show that, fishermen use simple fishing gear and operating technique for catching eel elvers. The fishing gear have been used by fisherman are waring and anco. Fishermen sell eel elver’s catch to the aquaculture’s company. Moreover, there was a sharp decrease in the volume in the eel elver catches. It is because the eel elver resources condition is getting worse compared to the early period of fishing activities. In addition, the SST averages was still in the range value of adaptation for eel elvers. It is because there is a small number of temperature variety in tropical water (including Indonesian water). In addition, the average concentration of chlorophyll-a included high categories from 1998 to 2011. So that, the high concentration of chlorophyll-a is a good location for the growth of phytoplankton and other aquatic animals.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
