the sea, where there is an oxygen depletion (Boehm,
2006). Organic material diagenesis from the diatom
and plant material are source of perylene in anoxic
sediment of the sea (Venkatesan, 1998; Boehm, 2006).
Tolosa et al (2009) reported that in the Cienfuegos Bay,
Cuba, perylene (PAHs natural) was found over in the
estuarine areas of Damuji and Salado rivers. PAHs
produced in the early diagenesis with a simple biology
precursor only include some of PAHs, so that, it
differentiated between multispecies complex of PAHs
petrogenic and pyrogenic (Boehm, 2006). The
objective of the research was to study preliminary
analyses concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbon (PAHs) in the sediments and milkfish
(
Chanos chanos
, Forskal) at Marunda and Blanakan
ponds, Indonesia. The results of study will give
information regarding with the PAHs contribution in
human activity in the environment.
2 Result
2.1 Concentration and characteristic of PAHs on
the sediments of Marunda ponds
PAH characteristic which were detected in the surface
sediments of Marunda Ponds, Jakarta were
Naphthalene, Benzo (b) fluoranthene, Benzo (k)
fluoranthene, Benzo (a) pyrene and Indeno (1,2,3-cd)
pyrene. Total PAHs concentrations obtained at the pond
surface sediments ranged from 27.1 ng/g to 63.0 ng/g
dry weight of Marunda sediment. Highest total PAHs
concentrations found in pond M1 while the lowest
was in the pond M2. Highest concentration of PAHs
components found in Marunda ponds is Benzo (b)
fluoranthene (pond M1) with concentration of 28.8 ng/g
dry weight sediment (Table 1 and Figure 1).
2.2 Concentration and characteristic of PAHs on
sediments of Blanakan ponds
Characteristic of total PAHs found in the sediment of
surface sediment at Blanakan ponds were Naphthalene,
Benzo (b) fluoranthene, Benzo (k) fluoranthene,
Benzo (a) pyrene and Indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene. Total
PAH concentrations obtained at the point of sampling
ranged between 24.0 ng/g to 64.8 ng/g dry weight of
sediment. The highest total concentration of PAHs
found in the pond B2 and the lowest B3 ponds.
Components with the highest concentration of PAHs
compounds are Benzo (b) fluoranthene (30.8 ng/g dry
weight of sediment) were found in the pond B2 (Table
2 and Figure 2).

2.3 Concentration and characteristics of total PAHs
in milkfish (
Chanos chanos,
Forsk) at Marunda and
Blanakan ponds
Total PAHs concentration observed on meats and gills
of
Chanos chanos
at Marunda pond were 13.3 ng/g and
0.4 ng/g, respectively, while in Blanakan ponds, PAHs
were not detected. PAHs compounds in milkfish meat
Marunda also detected compounds Naphthalene,
Benzo (b) fluoranthene, Benzo (k) fluoranthene,
Benzo (a) pyrene and Indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene. PAHs
compounds in the gills of Milkfish Marunda only
detected Naphthalene compund. Component of PAHs
compounds in the pond Blanakan is undetectable
(Table 3).
2.4 Comparison of total PAHs concentrations in the
sediments in the area of aquaculture Marunda,
Jakarta Bay and Blanakan, Subang
To analyse the difference between the concentration of
PAHs in the sediments Marunda and Blanakan ponds,
statistical anaysis was used. In general, based on
statistical analysis of the results show that in both study
sites there was no difference (Table 4).
