Summary: | River quality study in Indonesia uses commonly conventional method
including physical, chemical and microbiological aspects. The measurement is
considered less describing pollution for biota life in river because it doesn�t
involve biological (environment) aspect. The research was intended to study river
quality with toxicity test using animal test of carp fish (Cyprinus carpio Linn) and
shrimp (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) as bioindicator and doing statistical
test, to look for relationship between toxicity test data and river quality
measurement consisting of TDS, pH, DO, BOD5, and KMnO4.
The research used toxicity test with AOD (Aquatic Organism
Environmental Diagnostic) method. AOD method consist of two parts: (1)
freezing water sample with concentrations of 180%, 320%, 560%, 1000%, and
1800%
