A trophic web is a network of complex interactions and energy links between species. These interactions can be simplified into trophodynamic models, such as Ecopath (EP) and EcoTroph (ET), important tools providing the holistic view needed for the ecosystem approach to fisheries. We described food web structure and trophic interactions by developin...

Mangrove ecosystem monitoring aims to provide information on a regular basis to be used as a reference in sustainable management activities in an effort to maintain the functions and services of the mangrove ecosystem. Mangroves have a very high level of threat to exploitation, namely logging and land conversion which can cause increasingly damaged...

Nyiri (Xylocarpus granatum) thrives in the mangrove areas of Indonesia, especially Tarakan, North Kalimantan. X. granatum is one of many species found in the Tarakan mangrove forest and belongs to the Meliaceae family. This plant has been utilized by communities for pesticides and health care. So, the purpose of this study is to determine the poten...

Oil spills are a significant stressor to coastal and maritime environments worldwide. The growth responses of Batis maritima and Avicennia germinans seedlings to weathered Deepwater Horizon oiling were assessed through a mesocosm study using a factorial arrangement of 4 soil oiling levels (0 L m-2, 1 L m-2, 2 L m-2, 4 L -m-2) × 3 tissue oiling leve...

Mangroves are vegetation that has the most crucial role both for coastal ecosystems and human life. However, as the vegetation with the highest productivity globally, mangroves also experience distribution problems caused by anthropogenic activities. The problem of mangrove distribution occurs not only in the world but also in Langsa City, Aceh. Th...

In situ conservation is one of the methods recommended for conserving forest genetic resources. It aims to maintain and recover viable population of species in its natural habitat, to reintroduce the rare and endangered species and to recreate the habitats for plant species. Though mangrove rehabilitation programmes are widely carried out in Malays...

Marine actinobacteria have proven to be a remarkable source of bioactive metabolites. The present study focused on the isolation of anticancer metabolites from marine actinobacteria. Streptomyces sp. VITGAP173 was found to have promising anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7). Bioassay-guided fractionation was followed to iden...

Mangroves are distributed in coastal and estuarine regions and are characterized as a sink for terrestrial pollution. It is believed that complex interactions between environmental factors and microbial communities exist in mangrove swamps. However, little is known about environment-microbe interactions. There is a need to clarify some important en...

Mangroves are plants that live in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the world, they are adapted to high salt environments and cyclic tidal flooding. Mangroves play important ecological roles, including acting as breeding grounds for many fish species and to prevent coastal erosion. The genomes of three mangrove species, Bruguiera gymnorhi...
