KONDISI LINGKUNGAN PERAIRAN BUDI DAYA RUMPUT LAUT DI DESA ARAKAN, KABUPATEN MINAHASA SELATAN
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the
study was to evaluate the present feasibility of seaweed cultivation area at
the waters of Arakan village. Research method used was observation.
Observation station consisted of 1) near
residential area, 2) at seaweed culture area, 3) around mangrove
ecosystem. Data collected included area
sheltering, bottom substrate, pH, salinity, flow rate, water depth. Measurement of water quality was conducted in
the morning and afternoon. Data was analyzed descriptively and then compared
with the water quality tables eligibility for seaweed cultivation by
Bakosurtanal 1996. Research results illustrated that cultivation areas at all
station were feasible, water quality at station 1 was very feasible and station
3 was less feasible. pH and salinity at all station were very feasible, flow
rates at station 1 and 3 were less feasible while at station 2 was very
feasible, water depth was very feasible, and water temperature was categorized
as feasible to very feasible. It was
concluded that the present condition of
the waters at Arakan Village is still suitable for seaweed aquaculture.
