The production potential from marine fisheries in 2020 in South Sulawesi Province reached 635,115,800 Kg with a production value of 1,488 billion rupiah, (BPS Sul-Sel, 2. Various problems that arise in the fisheries sector are long-term, one of which is the destruction of coral reefs, which is an important component of marine ecology. The damage to coral reefs in Indonesia is getting worse every year. According to research by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences IJCMS: Indonesian Journal of Coastal and Marine Studies Vol. Issue. Year 2025 Hal. e-ISSN : x-x (LIPI) in 2011, 30. 76 percent of coral reefs are unhealthy or damaged. Only 5. 58 percent of corals are in very good condition, 26. 95 percent are good, and the remaining 36. 90 percent are quite good, this data was collected from 1,076 monitoring locations, (Coremap-CTI, 2. To anticipate the unexpected impacts, the use of fish apartments is one of several initiatives to restore the ecosystem in hopes of restoring fish populations in damaged waters. Fish apartments are engineering fishing technology made using components with a partition arrangement of Polypropylene plastic that is safe for the environment. Fish apartments or artificial fish houses function to increase fishing productivity, increase natural productivity by creating new habitats for organisms that contribute to food composition, create new habitats for target species, protect small or juvenile organisms, and serve as a nursery ground, protect beaches from waves, and provide a place for organisms to reproduce. (McLean et al, 2014. Rendle dan Rodwell, 2014. Wu et al, 2. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between oceanographic factors . emperature, salinity, pH, current speed and brightnes. and the presence of marine resources in the fish apartment area in the waters of Takalar.

Picture 5: Correlation of Brightness with the presence of marine resources & Correlation of salinity with the presence of marine resources y = 12,31x - 324,23 RA = 0,071 R= 0,2664 Salinity(%. Temperature is one of the important factors for the life of resources in the ocean, as temperature affects both the metabolic activity and the reproduction of marine resources, (Dwi et al. , 2. The intensity of the temperature of the waters of takalar with an average value of 58oC in the morning and 29. 08oC in the afternoon. The average temperature value of Takalar waters is higher in the afternoon than in the morning, indicating that the temperature is influenced by several external factors, namely based on the geographical location of the research area in a tropical climate area that gets very high intensity of sunlight. Seawater can absorb and store heat from sunlight during the day to evening. Salinity is the total concentration of ions found in water. Salinity describes the total solids in the water, once all carbonates have been converted to oxides, all bromides and ions have been replaced by chlorides, and all organic matter has been oxidized. Salinity is expressed in units of g/kg or per mile (%. (Khairunnas and Mulya 2. Based on the results of measurements using refractometers in Takalar waters, an average value of 28. 58 A in the morning and 29 A in the afternoon was obtained, with an interval value of 28-31 A. Factors that cause low salinity values of Takalar waters include rainfall at the time of the study affecting the low sea surface salinity of Takalar waters, indications of freshwater volume from the mouth of the Jeneberang river, sea currents that move seawater and freshwater from the river mouth moving from one point to another so that it is suspended into one in Takalar waters. The sea current factor in the fish apartment area can also increase salinity if in the afternoon the current is stronger and indicates that salt levels from other places can move to the fish apartment area. Brightness is a measure of the transparency of the waters that can be visually observed with a secchi disk. With this parameter we can see the possibility of an assimilation process in water, waters that are classified as cloudy and not cloudy, and can be suspected of the number of suspended particles in these waters, (Hamuna et al. , 2. The brightness level of Takalar waters in the morning is at an average value of 4. 39 m and 3. 27 m in the afternoon, with interval values ranging from 2. 03Published by: Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Maritim Balik Diwa IJCMS: Indonesian Journal of Coastal and Marine Studies Vol. Issue. Year 2025 Hal. e-ISSN : x-x 53 m. Turbidity is the main factor in the low brightness level in Takalar waters. The suspension of particles from the mouth of the Jeneberang river, marine debris particles on the coast, the alleged impact of post-sand mining, muddy water bottoms, and the activities of fishermen passing through the fish apartment area made the existing particles even more suspended. According to Hadi and Radjawane . Currents have an important role in determining the condition of a water. The flow speed in the fish apartment area in the morning with an average of 0. m/s tends to be slower than in the afternoon with an average value of 0. 22 m/s. This is caused by several factors including the wind and the topography of the seabed of the waters of Takalar. The wind blew quite strong in the waters of Takalar in the afternoon at around 15. 00 WITA. The topographic shape of takalar waters that is deep enough due to sand dredging that affects the current distribution pattern and current velocity that adjusts the topographic shape. pH is the number of H ions contained in the aquatic system or commonly known as the acidity level of water. Based on the results of the pH measurement, the average value was 7. 53 in the morning and evening 7. With an interval value of 6. 43 - 7. The average pH value at the research site is fairly normal for the sustainability of marine resources with the influence of temperature levels that are at the quality standard, so this implies that it can supply enough dissolved oxygen for the resource. Likewise, if the temperature/dissolved oxygen experiences massive fluctuations, it will cause marine resources to not be at the point of the research location. The results of observation of the presence of marine resources in the area of installing fish apartments in the waters of Takalar using underwater cameras, there are 11 species of resources and a total of 725 individuals. The proportion of resource attendance is seen from the division of morning and evening time of 643 heads . 69%), and 82 heads . 31%) respectively. The presence of more and varied resources was recorded around the fish apatemen area in the morning than in the afternoon. This is suspected to be the speed of the current that tends to be weak so that the fish apartment is the right place to forage and shelter from predators. Marine resources present in the morning and evening in the fish apartment area are dominated by 321 fly fish in the morning and 38 in the afternoon. This is suspected because the abundance of zooplankton . 47%) is one of the food sources for flying The abundance of zooplankton is present along the coastline of Takalar waters with a type of rebon shrimp at the end of the rainy season at the end of March, making the flying fish in shallow waters . n the area of the fish apartmen. which is suspected to be in search of an abundance of food The value of the temperature determinant coefficient is very weak and is the parameter that has the least relationship value compared to other parameters. This is suspected because the main factor of temperature is the intensity of sunlight, while during the study the sun is often covered by clouds due to the end of the rainy season. Temperature requires other parameters . alinity, pH, dissolved oxyge. to react normally according to quality standards so that it can affect the presence of marine resources in the fish apartment area in Takalar waters. The coefficient value of a weak determinant indicates that the flow is not a determining factor of the presence of resources in the fish apartment area in Takalar waters. It is suspected that the current speed in the waters of Takalar can carry two elements, namely it can bring dissolved oxygen levels and salinity to the fish apartment area which is good for marine resources, but on the other hand, the current speed can also carry inorganic particles in the form of suspended mud or sand which can have a bad impact on marine resources. Brightness refers to the penetration of light in a body of water. This factor is closely related to the availability of light and water clarity in the Takalar aquatic fish apartment According to Daniel and Langgeng . , the higher the level of materials and sediments in the waters, the lower the penetration of incoming light so that the brightness level will be reduced. addition, the influence of ocean currents that stir and disperse the content of dissolved materials and sediments plays a role in increasing brightness. According to Alfikri et al. , . in waters that are still natural, brightness is very important because it has a role for photosynthetic activities. Brightness is an important factor for the process of photosynthesis and primary production in a body of water. The coefficient value of the pH determinant is very low because pH fluctuations have a bad impact on the life of marine resources in the fish apartment area. Significant pH fluctuations are suspected to be caused by fluctuations in temperature and salinity parameters, which when the temperature and salinity values are low, they will produce low pH values as well, so that phytoplankton Published by: Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Maritim Balik Diwa IJCMS: Indonesian Journal of Coastal and Marine Studies Vol. Issue. Year 2025 Hal. e-ISSN : x-x as a determinant of the primary productivity level of the waters will be reduced, which is an indicator of marine resources will also be reduced. The result of very low coefficient values is suspected to be because salinity can change temporally as well as spatially, changes occur all the time based on changes in water conditions, cloud cover, and distance from the sun. Salinity is related to the parameters of temperature and dissolved oxygen, which if the temperature increases, sanity will also increase and affect the lack of dissolved oxygen supply so that the presence of marine resources will also decrease in the Takalar aquatic fish apartment area. CONCLUSION Physical and chemical parameters . emperature, current velocity, brightness, pH, and salinit. in the morning and evening, have a correlation with the presence of aquatic resources in installing fish However, brightness is the parameter that has the strongest relationship with fish The marine resources present in the fish apartment area observed through underwater cameras amounted to 725 fish with 11 different species. The proportion of resource attendance is seen from the distribution of morning and evening time of 643 heads . 69%), and 82 heads . RFERENCES Alfikri. Usman, & Pareng.
