Inventarisasi Teritip Non-Indigenous yang Menempel pada Ocean Going Vessel di Pelabuhan Tanjung Intan Cilacap
Abstrak: Portof Tanjung Intan
Cilacapis one of four major international shipping ports located in
JawaIslandand among 85 ports throughout Indonesia. International shipping ports
are exposed for non-indigenous species including barnalces as a consequence of
shipping traffic. Barnacle is the most common marine fouling found in ship’s
hull and ballast water of ocean going vessel. This work was aimed at knowing
which barnacle species were passively transported on such vessels hulls, in
order to map and monitor non-indigenous species invasion in the area. Four
vessels of different origins were investigated between April and November 2009.
Among four vessels, three of them were clean. A cosmopolite non-invasive
species were found on a ship of Ukrainan origin, Amphibalanus amphitrite.,
which also occur dominantly in the port of Tanjung Intan Cilacap. This port was
considered at no introduction risk of non-indigenous species.
