Daftar Isi:
- Biomonitoring is a method of monitoring water quality using biological indicators (bio-indicators). This research aims to develop biomonitoring methods in terms of the development of marine life that can be used as bio-indicators of marine pollution. This suggests that the starfish have good enough tolerance as bioindicators in biomonitoring method.
- Biomonitoring is a method of monitoring water quality using biological indicators (bio-indicators). This research aims to develop biomonitoring methods in terms of the development of marine life that can be used as bio-indicators of marine pollution. The analysis was optimized by means of samples taken from three different locations of the Barranglompo island waters, using AAS as an analysis technique. The analysis showed that cadmium content of heavy metals in starfish was 0.9916 ppm at the point I, 1.0355 ppm at point II and 0.7889 ppm at point III in Spermonde Islands waters, particularly in Barranglompo island waters.
