Abstract This study aims to assess the water quality and determine the pollution index of the Bedadung River in the urban-area segment of Jember Regency, East Java. The sampling in the urban segment of Jember was conducted in May 2019 at five different locations, namely Slamet Riyadi Street, Mastrip Street, Bengawan Solo Street, Sumatra Street, and Imam Bonjol Street. The pollution index assessment refers to the Decree of the State Minister for the Environment of Indonesia Republic number 115 of 2003. The analysis showed that the parameters of TDS, TSS, pH, COD, BOD, NH3-N, Co, Cd, Cu, – Zn, H2S, Cl , SO4, oil and fats, MBAS, NO2-N, Fe, Pb, F, Cl2, NO3-N, phenol, and As did not exceed the quality standards. The parameters PO4, CN, total coliform, and faecal coliform were found to breach the quality standards at the 5 water sam- pling points. Total coliform and faecal coliform were the dominant pollutants in this segment. Therefore, the parameters of PO4, total coliform, and faecal coliform were considered as indicators of pollution arising from domestic and agricultural activities. The pollution index values for the five sampling locations ranged from 7.21 to 8.23. These scores indicate that the Bedadung River section that passes through the urban segment in Jember is classified as being in the moderately pollut- ed category. This preliminary rapid assessment is therefore one of the considerations for the management of water quality in the Bedadung River section that passes through the urban area of Jember.

Abstract Indonesia is one of the tropical area which its climate is generally experienced of two distinct seasons, rainy season and dry season. However, the beginning and end of each season is not always occurred at the same month on every year. Characteristics of hydrology variables, especially rainfall events, is strongly influenced by local and global climatic conditions. Thus it is important to identify how far the changes of global climate would effect the characteristic of the hydrology variables in a certain watershed. These informations will be valuable to determine the correct measures for the watershed’s development and management in the future. Kapuas River, one of rivers in Borneo, Kalimantan-Indonesia, has streamflow which is empirically changed during the last three decades. The changes of hydrological characteristics are analysed statistically based on rainfall data recorded at Supadio Rainfall and Meteorological Station-Pontianak. The monthly rainfall data were available from 1968-2013, while the daily rainfall data were available during 1981-2013. The 1968-2013 data were then used to analyze the trend of annual rainfall, while the 1981- 2013 were used to analyze the changes of hydrological characteristics. The results showed that the numbers of average annual rainfall is 3,206 mm, while the average monthly rainfall is 267 mm.

Nowadays, three species, Pangasius hypophtahlmus, P. boucorti, and P. djambal, are used in aquaculture. Among the genera in Pangasiidae, Helicophagus was less studied. Although this genus was less preferred than other popular species in Pangasiidae, it still has high commercial price. The present study was conducted to clarify the differences of the exist species in the genus Helicophagus based on biometric analyses. Twenty six specimens, collected from represent rivers in Southeast Asia, used for the material examined. Several type specimens deposited in museums were also added in the analyses. Thirty five characters were designed for measurement on the unique body conformation. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to distinguish different species and found strong characters for key identification and description. The results presented the data and information on the diagnosis, description, distribution, and ecology of each species.

Received 8/3/85, in revised form 4/3/86, accepted 10/3/86, ABSTRACT A pluridisciplinary study was carried out in the south-eastern part of Kalimantan (Indonesia) in a deltaic area close to Banjarmasin town. Upstream from Banjarmasin, Barito river divides into two branches, one of which meets the Kapuas river slightly further to the west, to form the Kapuas Murung estuary. This programme is designed to increase knowledge about the physical and sedimentolo­ gical processes, physical and chemical properties of the soils, and hydrological and chemical parameters of the Barito estuary. Barito estuary was chosen for two main reasons. First, it constitutes an important waterway for the region, on which Banjarmasin harbour is located; second, the management of the sparsely occupied coastal areas is becoming a priority. The transmigration area of Tabunganen, close to the coast (with sorne saline intrusion problems) is significant in this connection.

Natural condition gives high distribution to the smoothness of the vessel traffic along the Kapuas Murung River. The local government has planned to build specific port for stock pile at the Batanjung which would face with natural phenomena of sedimentation and erosion at a river mouth. Erosion and sedimentation could be predicted not only by field observing but it is also needed hypotheses using software analysis. Hydrodynamics and transport sediment models by Mike 21 HDFM-MT software will be applied to describe the position of sedimentations and erosions at a river mouth. Model is assumed by two different river conditions, wet and dry seasons. Based on two types of conditions the model would also describe the river flow and sediment transport at spring and neap periods. Tidal fluctuations and a river current as field observation data would be verified with the result of model simulations. Based on field observation and simulation results could be known the verification of tidal has an 89.74% correlation while the river current correlation has 43.6%.

Inst., Kyoto Univ., No. 47 B, 2004 Mercury Pollutant in Kapuas River Basin: Current Status and Strategic Approaches Mardan ADIJAYA* and Takao YAMASHITA * Centre for Freshwater and Coastal Studies, Tanjungpura University, West Kalimantan, Indonesia Synopsis In the last few years, the concerns on mercury pollutant of Kapuas River awareness have grown from the environmentalist groups as well as the whole stakeholders. The sources of mercury pollutant are from small scale gold mining which is considered as illegal. So far, the efforts to prevent water pollution and environmental destruction are in failure as a result, the damage is continuous with no promising solution. This paper tried to present the current status, problems, indicators, and followed by possible roadmaps to resolve such issues. The current data used essentially represent the time periods of 1995 to 2003 which are far from perfect to establish a solid solution, however, it is noteworthy as a basis for establishing the future direction toward pollutant control and environmental damage prevention in Kapuas River. Keywords: mercury pollutant, illegal gold mining, pollutant control, environmental prevention 1. Introduction continuously expressed the concerns on water pollution, including mercury pollutant in Kapuas River. So far, Kapuas River, which crisscrosses west Kalimantan understanding the state of heavy metal pollution is solely province, has long been recognized supporting either deduced from the dose-response approach, which conventional or non-conventional activities. Mostly, it appeared too simple and lame. There are many aspects of has been utilized for domestic use and industry.

  • A Review of the Ompok Hypophthalmus Group of Silurid Catfishes with the Description of a New Species from South-East Asia
    Journal of Fish Biology (2003) 62, 1296–1311 doi:10.1046/j.1095-8649.2003.00107.x,availableonlineathttp://www.blackwell-synergy.com A review of the Ompok hypophthalmus group of silurid catfishes with the description of a new species from South-East Asia H. H. NG Fish Division, Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1079, U.S.A. (Received 29 August 2001, Accepted 28 March 2003) The identities of the nominal species in the Ompok hypophthalmus group of silurid catfishes, namely Ompok hypophthalmus, O. macronema and O. urbaini are verified in this study. Ompok macro- nema is hypothesized to be a junior synonym of O. hypophthalmus,andO. urbaini (previously considered a junior synonym of O. hypophthalmus) is hypothesized to be valid, distinct species. Ompok hypophthalmus is restricted to Java and the Barito River drainage in southern Borneo, and the material previously identified as O. hypophthalmus from Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula andBorneorepresentsO. rhadinurus, a new species. # 2003 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: catfish; new species; Ompok; Siluridae; South-East Asia. INTRODUCTION Catfishes of the genus Ompok La Cepede, are medium-sized members of the Siluridae usually found in lakes and large rivers throughout South and South- East Asia. The genus has been demonstrated to be paraphyletic by Bornbusch (1995), who recognized four distinct clades within Ompok, namely the O. bimaculatus (Bloch) group, O. leiacanthus (Bleeker) group, O. hypophthalmus group (Bleeker) and the O. eugeneiatus (Vaillant) group. The O. hypophthalmus group is diagnosed by each of the cartilaginous plates supporting the mandi- bular barbels having two posterior processes (v.
