Dissolved Oxygen and Apparent Oxygen Utilization in Lembeh Strait Waters, North Sulawesi
The observation of dissolved oxygen level and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) in Lembeh Strait Waters was conducted in January, February, June and July 2016. The objective of this research is to know the condition of dissolved oxygen and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU). The results of the analysis showed that dissolved oxygen levels in the surface layer and near the bottom ranged from 6.00-6.56 mg/l and 5.59-6.17 mg/l. Based on the values of temperature and salinity obtained from this study, solubility, oxygen saturation degree and AOU value at the surface layer were calculated. In the surface layer the AOU values are positive, ranging from 0.10-0.72 mg/l, while near the bottom, negative and positive AOU values were balanced, ranging from -0.23-0.42 mg/l. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the Lembeh Strait waters has not shown negative impact on the aquatic environment and is still in accordance with sea water quality standards for marine biota.Keywords: Dissolved oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), Lembeh Strait.

Mapping the Condition of Seagrasses Beds in Ternate -Tidore Waters, and Surrounding Areas
Seagrass beds is one of the most prolific shallow water ecosystems, having ecological function in the life of the various marine organisms and other coastal systems. Data and information of seagrass condition in the waters of Ternate, Tidore and surrounding areas are still hardly unexplored. This study aimed to describe the spatial distribution information of seagrass cover percentage, seagrass conditions and environmental characteristics. The basic data used for mapping of seagrass is Landsat 8 on a path 110 row 59 recordings in July 2015. Analysis of overlaying and the interpretation of the seagrass distribution software using "ERMapper, Image Analysis 1.1 on ArcGIS ArcView 3.2 and 10.1". Field test was conducted on frame 50 x 50 cm squares, each square of the recorded species of seagrasses and cover percentage value. Condition assessment based on seagrass cover by (Rahmawati et al., 2014) and (KMLH, 2004). The results show that there are eight species of seagrass found in the waters of the island of Ternate, Tidore and Hiri Maitara island. The highest percentage in the seagrass cover was found in Maitara islands and Hiri Island, i.e ≥ 50%. Seagrass cover conditions in general are relatively "moderate", but the health conditions are less healthy / less wealthy (30 to 59.9%).

Distribution Temperature, Salinity and Dissolved Oxygen in Waters Kema, North Sulawesi
Distribution Temperature, Salinity and Dissolved Oxygen in Kema Waters, North Sulawesi. Distribution of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen in the water is very influential on the various aspects of the other parameters, such as chemical reactions and biological processes. Research on the conditions of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen in the Kema waters, North Sulawesi in April and May 2010. The results showed that temperature ranges from 28.2 to 32.5°C with an average of (30.1 ± 1.11°C), salinity between 28.0 to 33.0o/oo with an average of (31.7 ± 1.36o/oo) and dissolved oxygen between 3.46 to 6.25 ppm with an average of (4.73 ± 0.76 ppm). Distribution of values of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen levels vary. Variations in temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen in these waters was affercted by external factors including weather, wind and currents. Conditions of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen in this waters were still relatively normal and preferable for marine life
Characteristics of Phosphate, Nitrate and Dissolved Oxygen in Gangga and Siladen Island Waters, North Sulawesi
Waters of Gangga and Siladen island, North Sulawesi is very important due to their terrestrial-influenced oceanographic conditions of the Celebes Sea and the Indian Ocean that is rich in marine resources. Research on the characteristics of the water mass in relation with nutrients, phosphate, nitrate and dissolved oxygen were carried out in the waters Gangga island (May 2011) and Siladen island (July 2011). Phosphate and nitrate levels were analyzed using spectrophotometric method using Nicolet Evolution 100 spectrophotometer, while dissolved oxygen was determined by electrochemical methods. Statistical analysis showed that the nitrate levels in the waters of the Gangga island to the Siladen island is significantly different, while the phosphate and dissolved oxygen levels were not significantly different. The fluctuative concentration of phosphate, nitrate and dissolved oxygen in the Gangga and Siladen island waters were influenced by current, the mmovement of water mass, plankton activity and input from the surrounding mainland

Temperature, Salinity and Dissolved Oxygen West and East seasons in the waters of Amurang Bay, North Sulawesi
Observations of temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen have been carried out in Amurang Bay waters, North Sulawesi. This study aims to determine the temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen during the west and east seasonal monsoons. The statistical analysis results using the t-test showed that the temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen in the West monsoon with the east monsoon were significantly different. Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen in the west monsoon are lower than in the east. Variations in temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen are influenced by atmospheric conditions, weather, rainfall, and current patterns. Implicitly, temperature and salinity can affect the solubility of oxygen in the East monsoon. The value of AOU (Apparent Oxygen Utilization) in the west monsoon is less than 0.00 mg/l (negative), which indicates that oxygen is very much needed for the process of respiration and decomposition of organic substances during the west monsoon.
