“…Salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO) in water samples were determined in situ using the HI 98194 portable meter (Hanna Instruments Inc., Romania). Heavy metals, suspended solids (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 ‐N) in water samples, and total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorous (TP) in sediment samples were determined following the methods in TEPA (2016) and Lim et al (2022). The grain size composition of each sediment sample was analyzed via a laser diffraction particle size analyzer (Beckman Coulter Inc., LS‐230, USA) following the procedures in Lim et al (2022).…”

The Salt River is an important urban river in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In this study, the source identification and risk and toxicity assessment of the heavymetal-contaminated sediments in the Salt River were investigated. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), potential ecological risk index (RI), pollution load index (PLI), and toxic units (TU) were applied to determine effects of heavy metals on microbial diversities and ecosystems. Results from the ecological and environmental risk assessment show that high concentrations of Zn, Cr, and Ni were detected in the midstream area and the sum of toxic units (ΣTUs) in the midstream (7.2-32.0) is higher than in the downstream (14.0-19.7) and upstream (9.2-17.1). It could be because of the continuous inputs of heavymetal-contained wastewaters from adjacent industrial parks. Results also inferred that the detected heavy metals in the upstream residential and commercial areas were possibly caused by nearby vehicle emissions, non-point source pollution, and domestic wastewater discharges. Results of metagenomic assays show that the sediments contained significant microbial diversities.Metal-tolerant bacterial phyla (Proteobacteria: 24.4%-46.4%, Bacteroidetes:1.3%-14.8%, and Actinobacteria: 2.3%-11.1%) and pathogenic bacterial phyla (Chlamydiae: 0.5%-37.6% and Chloroflexi: 5.8%-7.2%) with relatively high abundance were detected. Metal-tolerant bacteria would adsorb metals and cause the increased metal concentrations in sediments. Results indicate that the bacterial composition in sediment environments was affected by anthropogenic pollution and human activities and the heavy-metal-polluted ecosystem caused the variations in bacterial communities.

“…This condition is reflected in the number of facilities that have not been fully utilized. Impacts arising from this condition include damage or inadequate capacity of several facilities, such as land, docks, port ponds, ice factories, clean water availability, and electricity installation infrastructure [5,12,13]. This has resulted in the port function not being carried out optimally and has implications for the reduction of ship visits to fishing ports.…”

The Binuangeun Fish Landing Port (PPI) plays a significant role in driving fisheries activities for fishermen in the Binuangeun area, Lebak, Banten. Despite being the largest fishing port in the region, the facilities owned by PPI Binuangeun have not been optimally utilized. This study aimed to explore the problems associated with the underutilization of operational facilities at PPI Binuangeun. The quantitative research design was carried out by conducting observations and interviews and distributing questionnaires to relevant stakeholders who played a role in the utilization of facilities at PPI Binuangeun. This research seeks to identify problems, constraints, and expected strategies for optimizing the PPI Binuangeun. All the results are presented descriptively. The findings show that the ability of facilities to utilize dock capacity reached 81.8%, that of port ponds reached 89.9%, and that of fish auction sites reached 50%, indicating that the operational facilities at PPI Binuangeun are at an adequate level of feasibility, but their utilization is not optimal. Field findings showed that during 2015-2022, there was a periodic increase in the number of vessels of various sizes, including the number of vessels that docked. Fish production has also increased with an increase in the number of fishing vessels, fishing gear, number of fishermen, production, and production value. In line with this, the manager of PPI Binuangeun must improve the operational efficiency of the port, including optimizing the port's contribution to improving the fishing industry and the economy of the port. Strategic steps are taken to improve the performance and competitiveness of PPI Binuangeun in the future.

“…Saha explored different types of GIS spatial interpolation methods, and the final results show that the inverse distance weighting method (IDW) is the optimal interpolation model for studying the spatial distribution pattern of toxic metal content (Saha et al, 2022). Sediment quality guidelines (SQG), pollution load index (PLI), and human health risk assessment have been widely applied to metal ion hazard assessment in various regions (Kolawole et al, 2022;Lim et al, 2022;Mor et al, 2022;Tnoumi et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022a). Xu studied the Hulan River Basin and found that Cd has caused serious biological risk in estuarine areas.…”

Metal pollution of river sediments in industrial areas has attracted widespread attention. In this study, 11 metal ions (including Fe, Al, Mn, Ag, Cd, Cr, As, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ni) were determined and analyzed in river sediments of typical industrial areas in the Kuye River Basin, a first-level tributary of the Yellow River. The geological accumulation index, enrichment factor, and pollution load index indicated that the metal ions in this area were enriched and polluted to different degrees. The spatial distribution of the 8 kinds of heavy metals showed that the content in the upstream and downstream was higher, and the middle reaches were lower. The heavy metals mainly came from local industrial activities, coal mining and transportation, and soil weathering, Human activities were the main reasons for the dramatic spatial changes and high levels of heavy metals. Mass inventories of metal ions in sediments should not be ignored. The results of the combined potential ecological risk index and sediment quality guidelines showed that the ecological risk downstream of the area was high, and Ni and Pb have caused adverse biological reactions. The human carcinogenic risk assessment result showed that the non-carcinogenic hazard quotient of metal ions in the study area was at an acceptable level, but the carcinogenic risk level of Ni and Cr was higher than 10− 4, which was an unacceptable level and must be got enough recognition. The results of this study can provide theoretical support for the pollution control and environmental restoration of rivers in energy-enriched areas.
