Pen shell is also one of the important fisheries resources and it can easily be established as important commercial species. Environmental studies on pen shells species was conducted at Merambong Island and Merambong Seagrass shoal off South Western Johor coast, Malaysia. A total of 39 samples of pen shells were collected from two different stations during low tides. From the samples, four species of pen shells were identified. Among the 4 species, 3 species belonged to the genus Pinna (P.bicolor, P.deltodes, and P.atropurapurea) and one species was Atrina (A.vexillum). Seawater samples were collected during low tide (0-0.2m height) at four stations which located at Merambong Island and Merambong Seagrass Shoal. Concentration of heavy metal arsenic (As), cadminium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cooper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) were measured in water and soft tissues of the pen shells. The highest concentrations of heavy metal in water were As, Cu, and Hg in ranged between 0.100-0.142, 0.142-0.189, and 0.028-0.046 mg/L respectively. The highest metals were As, Cr and Hg in both of P.bicolor, P.deltodes, P.atropurapurea and A.vexillum. The highest concentration of metal in water and pen shells were recorded at Merambong Island, while the lowest concentration was recorded at Merambong Seagrass Shoal. Land based activities and waste discharged from nearby areas which includes oil refineries and power station are main source of metal pollution in the area. vi ABSTRAK Pen shell merupakan sejenis makanan laut yang terkenal terutaman di negara- negara Asia. Kajian ke atas siput beliung meliputi kawasan pulau merambong dan kawasan hamparam rumput laut yang terletak di selatan barat Malaysia. Sejumlah 39 sampel pen shell dipungut dari dua station semasa air surut. Daripada sampel yang diperolehi, empat spesies dikenalpasti. Tiga spesies dikenalpasti dalam jenis Pinna (P.bicolor, P.deltodes, and P.atropurapurea) dan satu spesies jenis Atrina (A.vexillum). sampel ait laut diambil semasa air surut iaitu pada ketinggian 0m-0.2m di empat station. Kandungan logam As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Fe, Mn dan Zn dikenalpasti pada air dan tisu lembut siput beliung. Kandungan tertinggi logam berat pada air laut adalah As, Cu, dan Hg iaitu masing-masing mencatatkan bacaan dalam lingkungan 0.100-0.142mg/L, 0.142-0.189mg/L dan 0.028-0.046mg/L. Kandungan logam yang tertinggi dalam empat spesies pen shell adalah Fe, Mn dan Zn. Bagaimanapun, kandungan logam yang ditemui dalam siput beliung masih di bawah nilai yang dibenarkan oleh piawai pemakanan (FAO dan WHO). Kandungan logam pada air laut dan pen shell yang dicatatkan di pulau merambong lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan kawasan hamparan rumput laut. Aktiviti pengerokan untuk tebusguna tanah, pelabuhan yang melibatkan memecat minyak, dan station bahan api dikenalpasti sebagai pegumbang pencemaran. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLE PAGE DECLARATION ii DEDICATION iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv ABSTRACT v ABSTRAK vi TABLE OF CONTENTS vii LIST OF TABLES x LIST OF FIGURES xi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xiii 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Overview 1 1.2 Statement of Problem 2 1.3 Objective of Study 3 1.4 Scope of Study 3 1.5 Need of Study 4 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 5 2.1 Characteristics of Pen Shell 5 2.1.1 Diagnostic Characters 6 2.1.2 Habitat and Biology 7 viii 2.2 Source of Food 10 2.3 Distribution of Pen Shell 11 2.4 Physical Water Quality Parameter 14 2.4.1 Total Suspended Solid 14 2.4.2 Turbidity 15 2.4.3 Temperature 16 2.4.4 Salinity 17 2.5 Chemical Water Quality Parameter 18 2.5.1 Dissolved Oxygen 18 2.5.2 Biological Oxgyen Demand 19 2.5.3 Chemical Oxygen Demand 20 2.5.4 pH 21 2.5.5 Nutrients 23 2.5.5.1 Phosphorus 23 2.5.5.2 Ammoniacal Nitrogen 24 2.5.6 Metals 25 2.5.6.1 Arsenic 25 2.5.6.2 Cadmium 26 2.5.6.3 Chromium 27 2.5.6.4 Copper 28 2.5.6.5 Lead 29 2.5.6.6 Mercury 29 2.5.6.7 Nickel 31 2.5.6.8 Iron 32 2.5.6.9 Manganese 32 2.5.6.10Zinc 33 2.5.7 Oil and Grease 34 2.6 Marine Pollution 35 2.7 Impact of Heavy Metals in Marine System 35 2.8 Marine Water Quality Standard 37 2.8.1 Malaysian Interim Marine Water Quality Standard 37 2.8.2 Singapore Marine Water Quality Criteria 38 2.9 Marine Water Quality Standard 39 ix 2.9.1 Food and agriculture Organization and World Health Organization Standard 39 3 METHODOLOGY 41 3.1 Introduction 41 3.2 Study Area 41 3.3 Sampling Method 47 3.3.1 Specimen Collections and Identification 47 3.3.2 Pen Shell Sample 49 3.3.3 Water Sample 51 3.3.3.1 Grab Sample 52 3.3.3.2 Sample Preservation 52 3.3.3.3 Chemical Changes 53 3.3.3.4 Biological Changes 53 3.4 Chemical Analysis 53 3.4.1 Metal Testing 55 3.4.3.1 Spectrometer Analysis ICP-MS 57 3.4.3.2 Manual of ICP-MS 58 3.4.3.3 ICP-MS Advantages 58 3.5 Data Analysis 59 4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION 60 4.1 Distribution of Pen Shells 60 4.2 Species Identification 62 4.3 Water Quality Analysis 66 4.3.1 Ammoniacal Nitrogen 66 4.3.2 Salinity 67 4.3.3 Oil and Grease 67 4.3.4 Total Suspended Solid 68 4.4 Heavy Metal in Water 70 4.5 Heavy Metal in Pen Shells 73 x 5 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 77 5.1 Conclusion 77 5.2 Recommendation 78 REFERENCES 79 1 LIST OF TABLES TABLE NO.

The samples were extracted using Soxhlet extraction, purified using two-step silica gel column chromatography and then analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total PAH concentrations ranged from 95.17 to 361.24 ng g-1 dry weight (dw) and 330.09 to 552.76 ng g-1 dw in surface sediments from the Kim Kim and Segget Rivers, respectively. Source type identification using PAH molecular indices and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) indicated that PAHs were mostly of pyrogenic origin, while in some stations petrogenic sources had a significant portion. A PAH toxicity assessment using sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), mean effect range-median quotient (M-ERM-Q), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) equivalent concentration and BaP toxicity equivalent quotient (TEQcarc) indicated low probability of toxicity for both the Kim Kim and Segget Rivers.

  • `Singapura Patut Ada Maruah' (BH 19/01/2003)
    19/01/2003 `Singapura patut ada maruah' Jamhariah Jaafar SEMANGAT setia kawan Malaysia - Singapura bagaikan sudah luntur dan rapuh. Pertemuan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dengan Perdana Menteri Singapura, Goh Chok Tong, di Hanoi, empat tahun lalu, untuk meleraikan masalah kedua-dua negara secara pakej terus menemui jalan buntu di meja rundingan. Pakej yang dirancang terburai di tengah jalan hasil daripada sikap Singapura yang enggan bertolak ansur terutama membabitkan isu semakan harga bekalan air dan isu antara kedua-dua negara semakin panas apabila tuntutan ke atas Pulau Batu Putih turut disenaraikan ke Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa (ICJ). Negeri paling panas daripada hubungan yang semakin `tegang' ini ialah Johor. Ikuti wawancara wartawan Berita Minggu, JAMHARIAH JAAFAR bersama Menteri Besar Johor, Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, mengenai kesan hubungan yang semakin renggang ke atas Johor. BAGAIMANA Datuk menilai hubungan Malaysia-Singapura yang semakin hari semakin serius, kerana ia memberi kesan secara langsung kepada Johor? Isu antara kita dengan Singapura memang banyak dan semua tertangguh. Antaranya isu air, ruang udara, CPF, penambakan laut, tuntutan Pulau Batu Putih dan banyak lagi... yang tertangguh itu memang banyak dan banyak juga yang bertambah. Bagaimanapun, semua isu ini adalah antara kerajaan dan kerajaan, rakyat keseluruhan tidak terbabit secara langsung. Bagaimanapun, mereka turut memerhati dengan teliti dan menunggu mengenai bentuk penyelesaiannya. Secara rambang, kalau kita tengok antara rakyat Johor dan Singapura, sebagai masyarakat terdekat, apapun yang heboh terutama sejak kebelakangan ini ia tidak mendatangkan kesan serius. Rakyat Singapura masih ke Johor macam dulu juga, begitu juga sebaliknya. Bagaimanapun, bagi rakyat Johor mereka sedikit sebanyak berasa tidak begitu senang dengan tindak- tanduk Kerajaan Singapura.

  • Spatial Distribution Trend of Plankton in Sungai Pulai Estuary, the Straits
    Sains Malaysiana 44(9)(2015): 1257–1262 Spatial Distribution Trend of Plankton in Sungai Pulai Estuary, the Straits of Johor, Malaysia (Pola Taburan Reruang Plankton di Muara Sungai Pulai, Selat Johor, Malaysia) ZALEHA KASSIM*, KAMARUZZAMAN YUNUS, JALAL K.C.A, ILI NABILAH JAAFAR, NUR SUHAILA NORDIN, WAN MUHAMAD AMIR WAN AHMAD, AHMAD ISMAIL & AKBAR B. JOHN ABSTRACT A spatial distribution study was carried out to investigate the influence of some environmental factors to planktons using collected samples from the Sungai Pulai estuary, near to the Singapore boarder. Six stations chosen for the field sampling were Port Tanjung Pelepas (S1), Tanjung Bin Charcoal Plant (S2), seagrasses of Pulau Merambong (S4) and Second- Link Bridge (S5) and mangrove areas (S3, S6). There is no significant difference of phytoplankton abundance p( >0.05) between stations. Instead, it differs significantly at the level ofp <0.05; p= 0.0001 (Two tailed, t=14.10 df=34) between sampling session. In contrast, there is a significant difference of zooplankton abundance p( <0.05) in the sampling stations (χ2 = 17.3,(5)), but there is no significant difference p( >0.05; p=0.8966) between the sampling session (Two tailed, t=0.1310, df=34). Biplot analysis shows that most species are associated with the stations except for Protoperidinium sp., Lithodesmia sp. and Alexendrium sp. Copepod species including Microcalanus sp., Calanus sp. and Temora sp. are associated with S5. Paracalanus sp., Euterpina sp., Tigriopus sp., Oithona sp. and Pseudocalanus sp. are associated with S1, S2 and S4. The planktons are correlated with the temperature (Pearson’s correlation, r2=-0.897) and salinity (Pearson’s correlation, r2=0.9416) in March but no correlation is found in November sampling session.

A comparative analysis of the historical maps will thus shed light on the development, similarities, and differences among names given, in different times, to the same location. The paper attempts to reconstruct pre-colonial toponyms through an analysis of maps collected from the National Archives of Singapore and the National Library Board. On top of that, the article explains the survival and disappearance of these ancient toponyms found in these pre-colonial maps. Results show a total of 12 pre- colonial toponyms, some of them with multilingual variations, given, over time, by different naming subjects. Despite the influence of official place naming policies and multilingual toponymic variations, the reasons for the survival of a pre-colonial toponym are mainly linked to its meaning and the continuous usage by inhabitants.
