Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Indonesia * Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Simporo Strait is located in the Hendo River Basin. The erosion rate in the Hendo river basin is 12,434,881 m3/year, causing sediment discharge in the Hendo river by 0.00039 m3/year. The high rate of erosion and sediment discharge in the watershed resulted in siltation in the Simporo Strait. In addition to the silting problems, in the Simporo Strait there has also been pollution of the TSS, BOD and COD parameters. This research was conducted in the Simporo Strait with the aim of analyzing the carrying capacity of the Simporo Strait waters for drinking water, recreation, freshwater fish farming, animal husbandry, and water for irrigating crops. The research method uses the water carrying capacity analysis based on water pollution index. The results of the study concluded that the waters in the Simporo Strait have been polluted by TSS, BOD, COD and PO4, so they are not suitable for use as a source of drinking water (Class I) and for the purpose of recreation / tourism (Class II).

I. INTRODUCTION A. GENERAL As in many other countries, the government of Netherlands New Guinea has undertaken the comprehensive task of promoting and developing the territorial fisheries in co-operation with the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and the South Pacific Commission. So far as the Inland Fisheries Section is concerned, this task comprises in the main the operation of fisheries in open waters (lakes, swamps, rivers) and pisciculture in ponds and other suitable inland waters. The fundamental problems in this field were: a) knowledge of the indigenous fish varieties that may have economic value; b) knowledge of the fish stocks; c) research into the ecological conditions in which the fish stocks occur. B. INDIGENOUS FISH VARIETIES The first-mentioned problem - fish varieties - has been the subject of intensive studies of BLEEKER, DE BEAUFORT, MAX VffiBER, MUNRO, BOESEMAN, and others. Their researches revealed that among the locally found ATHERINIDAE, MUGILIDAE, LUTJANIDAE, APOGONIDAE, ARRIDAE, GOBIIDAE, ELECTRIDAE, PLEURONECTOIDES, and ELASMOBRANCHIDAE, there were few varieties of actual economic value. Only MUGILIDAE, which species was hot being fished for with the primitive equipment used, and LUTJANIDAE, could be regarded as species of possible economic signific­ ance. Catches of LUTJANUS JOHNII on Lake Sentani alone total 6£ metric tons annually. Improved fishing methods may raise this production to 12 metric tons.

    Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus Image courtesy of Monterey Bay Aquarium Indonesia Net Pens September 10, 2015 Ariel Zajdband, Seafood Watch Corey Peet and Valerie Ethier, Postelsia Taylor Voorhees, Seafood Watch Disclaimer Seafood Watch® strives to have all Seafood Reports reviewed for accuracy and completeness by external scientists with expertise in ecology, fisheries science and aquaculture. Scientific review, however, does not constitute an endorsement of the Seafood Watch® program or its recommendations on the part of the reviewing scientists. Seafood Watch® is solely responsible for the conclusions reached in this report. 2 About Seafood Watch® Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® program evaluates the ecological sustainability of wild-caught and farmed seafood commonly found in the United States marketplace. Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from www.seafoodwatch.org. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request.

Abadi, Ernawati, Saidin Sorong Polytechnic of Marine and Fisheries, St. Kapitan Pattimura, Suprau, Tanjungkasuari, Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia. Corresponding author: M. Sayuti, [email protected] Abstract. The aim of this study was to identify proximate, amino acid and fatty acid content of gabus Sentani or Sentani gudgeon (Oxyeleotris heterodon). The samples were taken from Lake Sentani, Jayapura, Indonesia. AOAC, LC-MS and GC-MAS were the standards used to test proximate, amino acid and fatty acid content, respectively. Findings showed that O. heterodon contained 11.7% of water, 21.83% of ashes, 59.59% of protein, 1.20% of fat, 12.0% of carbohydrate, and 17.85% of crude fiber. Concerning the essential amino acids the species contained 3.40% L-Lycine, 1.66% L-Leucine, 1.27% L- Arginine, and 1.02% L-Valine, while non-essential amino acids were 3.07% L-Glutamic Acid, 1.75% L- Aspartic acid, and 1.24% L-Alanine. Fatty acids of O. heterodon were C15:1 (cis-10) Fatty acid (55.93%), C18:0 Methyl ester (16.25%), C17:1 (cis-10) Methyl ester (8.5%) and C16:0 Methyl ester (7.75%). Based on the findings, it is suggested that O. heterodon has a high protein content and thus, may serve as alternative source of protein for human consumption. Key Words: proximate, amino acid, fatty acid, Oxyeleotris heterodon, nutrients. Introduction. Lake Sentani comprises of 30 species of freshwater fish; four of which are endemic to the lake.

Alifianatifa Anandya Putriahalya Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Bakrie Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract. Lake Toba area has been designated a National Strategic Area, which is a priority spatial planning area. The Simanindo Area is a sub-district in Samosir Regency which is an island in the middle of Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Lake Toba's current condition has been polluted by organic contamination and high free chlorine. In addition, the existence of fish farming activities or floating net cages that contribute to the contamination of phosphorus by 0.78 mg/l and free chlorine by 0.84 mg/l into Lake Toba which resulted in the need for studies on the carrying capacity and environmental capacity. Land carrying capacity can be calculated by comparing the availability of land with land requirements. While the carrying capacity of water can be calculated by comparing the availability of water with water requirements or using the Thornwaite Mather Water Balance method. Land Capacity can be calculated by the Land Endurance Unit. While the Capacity of Waters can be calculated by STORET analysis or calculation of domestic waste pollution load. The existence of a massive development plan for Simanindo area and rapid population growth is projected to cause the Land Support Capacity of the Simanindo Priority Zone to be conditionally safe in 2040.

However, outside societies can influence the culture of the traditional communities that originally tends to be oriented on biocentrism to shift towards anthropocentrism. This can eventually hamper the continuity of ecotourism development. This can be seen from the traditional communities at Lake Sentani, the case study of the author. The study is based on literature and secondary data and used descriptive analysis. The traditional communities of Sentani do not yet fully participate in the development of tourism in its surroundings. Their involvement in tourism development is more focused on ceremonial activities such as can be seen at the Lake Sentani Festival which is organized every year by the government.

  • Local Wisdom Values in Environmental Management at Sentani Indigenous Community in Jayapura Regency, Papua
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 11(01):59–66 (2018) PUYAKHABHU: LOCAL WISDOM VALUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AT SENTANI INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN JAYAPURA REGENCY, PAPUA Pawennari Hijjang, Ahmad Ismail and Akhmad Marhadi Hasanuddin University, Indonesia Simon Abdi K. Frank, Fredrik Sokoy and Usman Idris Cenderawasih University, Indonesia This article aims to describe and analyze the values of local wisdom possessed by the Sentani indigenous community in managing the environment. It is particularly the management of Lake Sentani which is the source of livelihood for indigenous communities who are commonly living around Lake Sentani . The method used in this research is a qualitative method with data collection techniques in- depth interviews, observation and focused discussion. The results of the study show that lakes are a source of life for Sentani communities. They are bounded by their values of harmony with nature. For this reason, they guard the lake by subsistently utilizing natural resources with traditional rituals. They are carried out to sanctify the place in the framework of sustainable maintenance and management. Keywords: Local wisdom, Indigenous community, Sentani lake, Papua. Introduction Ecologically, the adaptation patterns of indigenous Papuans to the environment follow the three major regional ecological zones, namely: (1) adaptation patterns to the ecological zones of coastal, coastal and small island communities, (2) patterns of adaptation to the ecological zones of lowland communities and feet mountains, and (3) adaptation patterns to the ecological zones of the mountain and inland communities. Papuan indigenous people who adapt to these three ecological zones have heterogeneity, namely social institutions, cultural values and equipment.
