Abstrak: Latest stage development of coral recruits community on concrete artificial reefs were observed for nine months (from October 2009 to July 2010) by visual census and underwater photography methods. Amounts of 10 units of concrete artificial reef deployed in Pramuka Island waters and Gosong Pramuka in 2001 were used as an objects in this research. As a comparation, the condition of coral coverage and reef fishes in natural reef were observed by line intercept transect, quadrate transect, visual census, and underwater photography methods. In order to measure coral coverage area we used ImageJ 1. 42q software. In March 2010, amounts 457 coral colonies from 21 genera and 216 coral colonies from 16 genera were found in Station 1 and Station 2 respectively. In July 2010, the percentage of coral coverage on concrete artificial reefs reaches 41.46±13.37% (mean±SD) in Station 1 and 20.38±6.08% (mean±SD) in Station 2, while the percentage of coral coverage on natural reefs were 23.14% and 40.43% in Station 1 and 2 respectively. The coral recruits coverage on concrete artificial reefs had a strong positive relationship with its fish abundance in Station 1 where coefficient of determination (R2) reached 0.71.

Judul: Struktur dan Pertumbuhan Karang Rekrutmen Pada Terumbu Buatan Modul Beton di Pulau Harapan, Kepulauan Seribu, DKI Jakarta
Abstrak: Coral reefs are a renewable resource that has the important function of Ecology, socio-economic, and culture. In Indonesia, the damage to the coral reef ecosystem is largely due to human activities. To speed up the recovery of coral reefs, several methods of rehabilisationare used such as transplantation and artificial reefs. The purpose of this study was (1) to know the growth rate of coral attached (recruitment) on concrete artificial reef modules, and (2) to determine the structure of coral communities on artificial reefs over a period of 1 year. In this study measured the growth of coral recruitment covering the length and width, survival rates, and recruitment of coral community structure. Types of coral recruitment was dominated by Pocillopora, Millepora and Acropora with a total of 59 species of 65 species of coral recruitment found. Growth in average length was highest in the range of months from January-May 2011 were 0.76±1.98 cm, and the width of the growth of the highest average in the range of months from May-July 2011 were 1.18±0.92 cm.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
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.
