ABSTRACT
Zaitul Ikhlas. Analysis of Suitability of Mandeh Bay for Culturing Tiger
Grouper (Epirreplrelus fuscoguttatrrs) in Floating Nets Cage, Pesisir Selatan
Regency, West Sumatra Province. Advisors: Ismudi Muchsin, Zairion, and
Moharnmad Mukl~lisKamal.
Biophysical suitability of seawater is one of highly important indicators that

should be considered for culturing tiger grouper (Epinephelus j%scogutl~lzrs).
Unsuitable site for the culture can influenced on low grouper production and on
degradation of coastal euviromtlnent. Objectives of this research are (1) to analyze
biophysical characteristic of water of Mandeh Bay, and (2) to evaluate biophysical
suitability of water for culturing the grouper. This research is conducted &om April
to May 2006 in Mandeh Bay, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra Province.
Environment data that needed are depth, temperature, salinity, transparency,
turbidity, TSS, DO, BOD5, chlorophyll-a, pH, tide, wave, and current. For
analyzing biophysical characteristic of water of Mandeh Bay is used Pri~lcipal
Component Analysis (PCA); and for evaluating biophysical suitability of water is
used Geogra$ic Information System (GIs) method. The results show the Mandeh
Bay is characterized by high values of parameters of temperature, TSS, turbidity and
pH; and low value of parameter of depth. These parameters are highly influenced by
existences of environmental characteristics of the bay such as mangrove, seagrass
bed, river runoff, climate, settiement, and fish landing. Generally biophys~cal
characteristics of water of Mandeh Bay are suitable for growth of the tiger grouper
(Ep~nephelzrsfir~cogultatus)
in the FNC, except for the water depth. The potential
waters for the culture are in surrounding Cubadak Island, Mandeh Village and
Simpang Carocok Village except the water in the Southwest of Simpang Carocok

Village.

Autho- was born on August 7, 1967 in ~adang,West Sumatra Province as first
children of five brothers from Abdul Rahman and Yuslaini. In 1992, Author
graduated &om Department of Fishery Resources Utilization, Faculty of Fisheries
and Marine Sciences, Bogor Agriculture University. In 2004, Author stodied,.at

coastal and fishery areas.

PREFACE
Thank to Allah SWT for God's mercy that given to Author who has already
finished writing this :hesis. Title of this thesis is "Analysis of Suitability of Mandeh
Bay for Culturing Tiger Groupa' (Epinephelusfuscogulra~us)in Floating Nets Cage,

Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sxnatra Province" that has been canied ont from
April wtil May 2006.
Utilizations of marine and coastal areas for culturing the grouper especially in
water of bay have developed in some regions in Indonesia such as Lampung, Bali,
Sulawesi, and also West Sumatra Province. The utilization of the water bay for the
grouper culture should be done carefully because the areas are susceptible toward
various negative iinpacts of$evelopmeut activities. Those negative uupacts are
such as environmental degradation, overfishing of marine biota, interest conflict,
low production of cultured fish, etc. Activity of the gouper culture in Floating Nets
Cage (FNC) beside it produc-s positive impacts on community (i.e. increasing
incc,ine),it aiso produces tiagative unpacts on c~lviro~unent,
marine biota and also'bil
community (i.e. degradations, pollutions and interest conflicts).

Therefore,

developing the culture should been planed comprehensively. The most importance
factors that must be considered in tlie plan are selection and determination of
suitable water for culturing the grouper. In this research it has been camed out
analysis to~vardbiophysical characteristics of water of Mandeh Bay, and suitability

of the water for culturing the grouper. Biophysical parameters of water that are
analyzed encompassing depth, wind and current velocity, wave, temperature,
salinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), BODS,transparency, turbidity, TSS, and pH.
in co~ectiollwith it iras already finished this thesis, Author would like to
thank to:
