Thank you v ABSTRACT Water quality of the Johor coastal areas especially from Straits of Johor has long shown high level of metals. Conch Strombus which colonize near the shore ecosystem is exposed to metals in the aquatic environment. This study was carried out to evaluate the use of Strombus as an indicator of metals contamination at Johor coastal area. Moreover, Strombus is also a popular food source with high commercial value in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. Therefore, assessment on the metal status is crucial since direct consumption of contaminated seafood would cause adverse effect to human health. Strombus’s specimens, sediment and seawater samples were collected during spring low tide from July 2010 to July 2012 at seven different sites. There were three species of Strombus found during this study i.e Strombus canarium, Strombus urceus and Strombus aratrum. Strombus canarium turned to be the most abundance and highly distributed compared to other species. The metal concentrations (As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the sediment, seawater and soft tissues of S. canarium were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). All of the metal concentration except for As exceeded the permissible limit of Malaysia Marine Water Quality Criteria (MMWQC) for Class E where Zn shows the highest range in water (0.002-0.165 mg/L) as well as in sediment (23.903-56.286 µg/g dry weight). Overall, high concentrations of metals were recorded at western part of Johor Straits. Metal content in sediment could be classified as polluted with Cu (7.247-46.868 µg/g dry weight) according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sediment quality. S. canarium also contained high accumulation of Zn (13.270-22.082 mg/kg wet weight). Nevertheless, all metal concentration in the soft tissues of S. canarium was within the recommended limit of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). On the other hand, experiments on toxicity were also carried out and reported as median lethal concentration (LC50). Abnormal behavior such as secretion of mucus in large quantities was observed, especially at high concentration of metals. Cu appeared to be more toxic than other metals with the value of LC50, 0.261 mg/L. Generally, the result indicates that the S. canarium can be employed as bio-indicator for metal contamination since they tend to reflect the quality of surrounding environment. vi ABSTRAK Kualiti air di kawasan laut Johor terutamanya Selat Johor telah lama menunjukkan tahap bacaan logam yang tinggi. Gonggong Strombus yang mendiami ekosistem pantai terdedah kepada logam di dalam persekitaran akuatik. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menilai kegunaan Strombus sebagai penunjuk pencemaran logam di kawasan laut Johor. Tambahan pula, Strombus merupakan sumber makanan laut yang popular dan memiliki nilai komersial yang tinggi di bahagian selatan Semenanjung Malaysia. Oleh itu, penilaian terhadap status kandungan logam adalah penting kerana pengambilan terus makanan laut yang tercemar boleh mengakibatkan kesan buruk terhadap kesihatan manusia. Spesimen Strombus, sampel sedimen dan air telah dikumpul sewaktu air surut dari Julai 2010 sehingga Julai 2012 di tujuh kawasan berlainan. Sebanyak tiga spesis Strombus dijumpai iaitu Strombus canarium, Strombus urceus dan Strombus aratrum. Strombus canarium adalah yang paling banyak ditemui dan mempunyai taburan yang luas berbanding dengan spesis lain. Kepekatan logam (As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) di dalam tanah, air dan tisu S. canarium dianalisis menggunakkan induktif ditambah plasma spektrometri jisim (ICP-MS). Semua kepekatan logam kecuali As melebihi had yang dibenarkan oleh Kriteria dan Piawaian Air Laut Malaysia (MMWQS) untuk Kelas E di mana Zn menunjukkan julat tertinggi (0.002-0.165 mg/L) begitu juga di dalam sedimen (23.903-56.286 µg/g berat kering). Secara keseluruhan, kepekatan logam yang tinggi telah dicatatkan di kawasan barat Selat Johor. Kandungan logam dalam sedimen boleh dikelaskan sebagai tercemar dengan Cu (7.247-46.868 µg/g berat kering) berdasarkan kualiti sedimen oleh Agensi Perlindungan Alam Sekitar (EPA). S. canarium juga mengandungi pengumpulan Zn yang tinggi (13.270-22.082 mg/kg berat basah). Walaubagaimanapun, semua kepekatan logam dalam tisu lembut S. canarium berada dalam had yang dibenarkan oleh Pertubuhan Makanan dan Pertanian (FAO) dan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO). Sementara itu, eksperimen ketoksikan juga dijalankan dan dilaporkan sebagai kepekatan yang menyebabkan kematian sebahagian organisma (LC50). Penghasilan mukus dalam kuantiti yang banyak diperhatikan pada kepekatan logam yang tinggi. Cu didapati lebih toksik berbanding logam lain dengan nilai LC50, 0.261 mg/L. Secara keseluruhan, keputusan kajian menunjukkan S. canarium boleh digunakan sebagai penunjuk biologi untuk pencemaran logam di mana spesies ini cenderung untuk mencerminkan kualiti persekitaran. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLE PAGE TITLE i DECLARATION ii DEDICATION iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv ABSTRACT v ABSTRAK vi TABLE OF CONTENTS vii LIST OF TABLES xi LIST OF FIGURES xiv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xix LIST OF APPENDICES xx 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Research Background 1 1.2 Problem Statement 8 1.3 Objectives of the Study 9 1.4 Scope of Study 9 1.5 Significance of the Study 11 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 13 2.1 Introduction 13 2.2 Family of Strombidae 17 2.2.1 Species Distribution 20 2.2.2 The Importance of Strombus 21 2.2.3 Threats to Strombus 22 viii 2.3 Biological Sampling 23 2.4 Metals in the Environment 25 2.4.1 Metal in Seawater 29 2.4.2 Metal in Sediment 33 2.4.3 Metal in Marine Mollusc 35 2.5 Marine Quality Guideline 39 2.5.1 Water Quality Guideline 40 2.5.2 Sediment Quality Guideline 41 2.5.3 Food Safety Guideline 43 2.6 Toxicity Test Study 43 2.7 The Fate of Metal in Living Organism 47 2.8 Biological Indicator 49 2.9 Concluding Remarks 50 3 METHODOLOGY 51 3.1 Introduction 51 3.2 Study Area 52 3.2.1 The Western Part of Johor Straits 55 3.2.2 The Eastern Part of Johor Straits 58 3.2.3 Pulau Tinggi and Pulau Setindan, Mersing 60 3.3 Sampling Procedure 62 3.3.1 Stratified Random Sampling 63 3.4 Samples Preparation for Metal Analysis 65 3.4.1 Reagent and Apparatus 65 3.4.2 Seawater 65 3.4.3 Sediment 65 3.4.4 Biological Specimens 67 3.5 Metal Analysis 67 3.6 Acute Toxicity Test 69 3.6.1 Test Organism 70 3.6.2 Acclimatization 71 3.6.3 Artificial Saltwater 72 3.6.4 Test Concentration 73 ix 3.6.5 Experimental Procedure 74 3.7 Data Analysis 74 4 RESULT AND ANALYSIS 76 4.1 The Occurrence of Strombus 76 4.1.1 Species Distribution 77 4.1.2 Species Description 81 4.1.2.1 Strombus canarium 81 4.1.2.2 Strombus urceus 83 4.1.2.3 Strombus aurisdiane 85 4.2 Physico-chemical Quality of Seawater 86 4.3 Metal Concentration in Seawater 88 4.3.1 Arsenic 88 4.3.2 Cadmium 90 4.3.3 Copper 92 4.3.4 Lead 94 4.3.5 Zinc 96 4.3.6 Metal Contamination in Water at Johor Coastal Areas 99 4.4 Metals Concentration in Sediment 102 4.4.1 Arsenic 102 4.4.2 Cadmium 104 4.4.3 Copper 106 4.4.4 Lead 108 4.4.5 Zinc 111 4.4.6 Metals Contamination in Sediment from Johor Coastal Areas 113 4.5 Metals in the Soft Tissues of Strombus canarium 115 4.5.1 Arsenic 115 4.5.2 Cadmium 118 4.5.3 Copper 120 4.5.4 Lead 123 4.5.5 Zinc 126 x 4.5.6 Metal Contamination in Strombus canarium From Johor Coastal Area 128 4.6 Consumption of Strombus canarium From Johor Coastal Area 130 4.7 Acute Toxicity Test on Strombus canarium 132 4.7.1 Observation on the Behavior of Stombus Canarium 135 4.8 Correlation between Metal Concentration in Strombus canarium with Water and Sediment 137 4.8.1 Correlation between Metal Concentratios in Strombus canarium and Sediment 137 4.8.2 Correlation between Metal Concentratios in Strombus canarium and Sediment 140 4.8.3 Strombus canarium as Biology Indicator 144 4.9 Overall Discussion 145 5 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 152 5.1 Conclusion 152 5.2 Recommendations 154 REFERENCES 156 Appendices A-E 187 xi LIST OF TABLES TABLE NO.

    GASTROPOD AND BIVALVE MOLLUSCS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEAGRASS BED AT MERAMBONG SHOAL, JOHOR STRAITS, MALAYSIA Gastropod and Bivalve Molluscs Associated with the Seagrass Bed at Merambong Shoal, Johor Straits, Malaysia Zaidi Che Cob1, Aziz Arshad2, Wan-Lotfi Wan Muda1 & Mazlan Abd. Ghaffar1 1 Marine Ecosystem Research Center (EKOMAR), School of Environmental and Natural Resource Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Seagrass beds are important marine ecosystems that have high productivity and support a large number of marine animals. Surveys on mollusc fauna were conducted from November 2005 to January 2006, using both transect and quadrat methods. The seagrass bed ecosystem of the Merambong Shoal supports a high density of bivalves and gastropod molluscs. A total of 119 bivalves and 131 gastropods were sampled, with combined densities ranging from 0.49 – 1.39 ind/m2. Among the bivalves, the pen shell (Pinnidae) and the venus clams (Veneridae) were the most abundant and important groups. Within the gastropods, conch snails (Strombidae) were the most important, contributing more than 50% of all gastropods sampled. The Shannon-Weiner diversity indices were high, ranging from 2.17 to 2.75 for bivalves and from 1.77 to 2.52 for gastropods. The evenness index ranged from 0.75 to 0.87 for bivalves and from 0.57 to 0.64 for gastropods, while the richness index ranged from 3.21 to 4.87 for bivalves and from 2.57 to 4.59 for gastropods.

  • Page 2______The Shell-O-Gram______Vol 56 No
    July - August, 2015_____________________________________________________________Volume 56 No. 4 Programs There will be no Jacksonville Shell Club (JSC) meeting this July. We hope members will be out in the field collecting and enjoying themselves in the long summer days. Let's gather some "Marine Observations" and share them at the August meeting. On Thursday, August 27, the JSC will convene at the usual time (7:00 PM) and place (Southeast Branch, Jacksonville Public Library <http://jpl.coj.net/lib/branches/se.html>). The shell-of-the-month will be presented by Harry Lee. His choice will be made at the annual Conchologists of America (COA) convention in Weston, FL (July 12-18). It will be the most spectacular shell he observes at the scientific programs, oral and silent auctions, bourse, on the field trips, and in more impromptu encounters. Rick Edwards, who is also planning to attend, will do the photography. The main program will be given by Charlotte Thorpe, who is fresh back from a diving expedition to the Dominican Republic. Likely there'll be several living mollusks caught in natural poses by Char's well-honed underwater photographic skills. President’s Message Dear JSC Members, There is not much activity to mention for the club over the next couple of months, we are currently cruising in idle mode. Summer is upon us and for all of us currently living in Florida, the past few days have already brought on that incredibly warm and humid feeling. With that said, I am dreaming of shelling on the beach for some marine snails on a warm sunny day, shelling in the bush for some land snails after a good rain, or cruising down a nice cool river or creek with my snorkeling gear looking for some aquatics! I'd probably enjoy self propelling a jet back through the breeze, but it seems there have been no flying snails discovered as of yet, so I'll pass on that adventure for the time being.

  • Cymbiola Nobilis Shell: Toughening Mechanisms in a Crossed-Lamellar
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cymbiola nobilis shell: Toughening mechanisms in a crossed-lamellar structure Received: 19 July 2016 Hongmei Ji1,2, Xiaowu Li1 & Daolun Chen2 Accepted: 30 November 2016 Natural structural materials with intricate hierarchical architectures over several length scales Published: 17 January 2017 exhibit excellent combinations of strength and toughness. Here we report the mechanical response of a crossed-lamellar structure in Cymbiola nobilis shell via stepwise compression tests, focusing on toughening mechanisms. At the lower loads microcracking is developed in the stacked direction, and channel cracking along with uncracked-ligament bridging and aragonite fiber bridging occurs in the tiled direction. At the higher loads the main mechanisms involve cracking deflection in the bridging lamellae in the tiled direction alongside step-like cracking in the stacked direction. A distinctive crack deflection in the form of “convex” paths occurs in alternative lamellae with respect to the channel cracks in the tiled direction. Furthermore, a barb-like interlocking mechanism along with the uneven interfaces in the 1st-order aragonite lamellae is also observed. The unique arrangement of the crossed-lamellar structure provides multiple interfaces which result in a complicated stress field ahead of the crack tip, hence increasing the toughness of shell. Compared with the contemporary manufacturing technology of humanity, nature has achieved great successes that can provide us with direct clues in designing lighter, stronger and tougher materials1–3. Natural structural materials, usually consisting of hard and soft phases that are arranged in intricate hierarchical architectures over several length scales, exhibit remarkable mechanical properties4–10. This is why mimicking the structural features of natural structural materials has become a fascinating and thriving area in recent years11–16.

  • Konfirmasi Kila Sebagai Atraktan Gonggong (Kasus Praktek Lokal Masyarakat Di Perairan Senggarang)
    KONFIRMASI KILA SEBAGAI ATRAKTAN GONGGONG (KASUS PRAKTEK LOKAL MASYARAKAT DI PERAIRAN SENGGARANG) HENDRA HASIHOLAN SIANJUNTAK Mahasiswa Ilmu Kelautan, FIKP UMRAH, [email protected] ARIEF PRATOMO Jurusan Ilmu Kelautan, FIKP UMRAH, [email protected] FADHLIYAH IDRIS Jurusan Ilmu Kelautan, FIKP UMRAH, [email protected] ABSTRAK Simanjuntak, Hendra Hasiholan., 2017. Konfirmasi Kila Sebagai Atraktan Gonggong (Kasus Praktek Lokal Masyarakat Di Perairan Senggarang), Skripsi.Tanjungpinang: Jurusan Ilmu Kelautan, Fakultas Ilmu Kelautan dan Perikanan, Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji. Pembimbing I: Arief Pratomo, ST, M.Si. Pembimbing II: Fadhliyah Idris, S.Pi, M.Si. Perairan Senggarang merupakan salah satu daerah yang merupakan pemasok komoditi gonggong di Tanjungpinang. Nelayan lokal mendapatkan gonggong dengan cara menangkap langsung pada saat surut jauh dan juga menyelam. Namun terdapat praktek lokal yang cukup unik digunakan untuk memancing munculnya gonggong dari dalam substrat yakni dengan menggunakan hewan gastropoda lainnya atau nelayan lokal menyebutnya “Kila”. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan mengkonfirmasi apakah benar bahwa kila merupakan faktor munculnya gonggong dari dalam subtrat. Metode yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Unit percobaan yang diberikan adalah variabel kontrol, variabel perlakuan kontrol (Air laut dan Lumpur berair) dan variabel perlakuan (Kila) dengan tujuan untuk melihat probabilitas munculnya gonggong berdasarkan perbedaan perlakuan. Hasil pengamatan diuji dengan menggunakan Uji T 2 variabel dan Uji One Way Anova (Analysis of Variance). Hasil yang diperoleh di perairan Senggarang yaitu jenis kila yang digunakan adalah Cymbiola nobilis. Variabel kontrol dan variabel perlakuan kontrol tidak memberikan pengaruh dengan jumlah gonggong muncul masing-masing 0 ind/m2. Variabel kila yang memberikan pengaruh dengan jumlah gonggong muncul yaitu 22 individu atau rata-rata 3 ind/m2.

Samples were collected from May 2013 to September 2014 by using crab gill net. One hundred seventy four of bycatches were found within proportion of 52.2% in the bay and 49.5% from offshore. Moreover, discarded species from the bay and offshore were 26.3% and 47.1%, respectively. The most dominant species in the bay was horse shoe crab (Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) while offshore was scaly whipray (Himantura imbricate). Abundance of bycatch in the bay was affected both by habitat (P<0.005) and season (P<0.001) while abundance from offshore was affected only by season (P<0.05). Species richness of bycatch both in the bay and offshore were influenced significantly by season (P<0.001 and P<0.005, respectively).
