Abstract

Salinity is one of the environmental factors having an important role in controlling mangrove growth. Each type of mangrove has different adaptability. This condition causes the differences of structure and composition of mangrove with distinctive boundaries, ranging from zones close to land to zones close to the ocean. This research was aimed to examine the ability to grow mangrove (Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata) at various levels of salinity, using reed bed system reactor with continuous flow and the addition of the bacteria Vibrio alginolyticus. The reactors were arranged in series system, namely reactor with Avicennia marina (AM), reactor with Rhizophora mucronata (RM), reactor with Avicennia marina and bacteria of Vibrio alginolyticus (AMVA), and reactor with Rhizophora mucronataand Vibrio alginolyticus(RMVA). The artificial salinity that was used i.e 20 ‰ and 25 ‰. Physical observation of the mangrove growth indicators was conducted during the exposure time. The fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) were measured at day 0 and the last day of experiment. The monitoring parameters such as pH and temperature were also measured. The results showed the FW and DW increased in all reactors. Avicennia marina with added bacteria had the greatest growth at the salinity concentration of 25‰ with 69,27 g of DW. Salinity of 25‰ showed a greater growth result than salinity with a concentration of 20‰.
