Description
Summary:Total Nitrogen (TN) and Phosphate (TP) are the two bio-elements essential that determine the source of life in the waters, including marine waters. This study aims to determine the concentration of TN and TP in the Doreri Bay. The study was conducted from January to March 2012. The sampling of seawater in situ performed three times in the six research stations. Measurement of sea water samples also carried out ex-situ by using method persulphate and peroxidisulphate for each concentration of TN and TP. The measurement results obtained an average TN concentration ranging from 0.053 to 0.165 mg/L with a higher tendency at station 1, 2 and 5 respectively of 0.102 mg/L; 0.100 mg/L; and 0.165 mg/L. While TP concentrations ranged from 0.017 to 0.038 mg/L with a value equal concentrations tended at each station observations. The results showed the value of the concentration of TN tend to vary and TP relatively stable or not varies. Total Nitrogen (TN) dan Fosfat (TP) merupakan dua unsur bioelemen penting yang menentukan sumber kehidupan di perairan termasuk perairan laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi TN dan TP di perairan Teluk Doreri. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Januari 2012 sampai Maret 2012. Pengambilan contoh air laut dilakukan secara in situ sebanyak tiga kali pada enam stasiun penelitian. Pengukuran contoh air laut dilakukan secara eks situ, konsentrasi TN diukur  dengan metode persulphate dan TP dengan metode peroxodisulphate. Hasil pengukuran diperoleh rata-rata konsentrasi TN berkisar dari 0,053 – 0,165 mg/L dengan kecenderungan lebih tinggi pada stasiun 1, 2 dan 5 dengan nilai konsentrasi secara berturut-turut sebesar 0,102 mg/L; 0,100 mg/L; dan 0,165 mg/L.  Konsentasi TP berkisar dari  0,017 – 0,038 mg/L dengan nilai konsentrasi yang cenderung sama pada setiap stasiun pengamatan.  Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan nilai konsentrasi TN cenderung  bervariasi dan TP relatif stabil atau tidak bervariasi.
