In addition to supporting various ecosystem services, including fisheries production, mangroves also provide nutrients (Prayitno. The largest production from the mangrove ecosystem is mangrove leaf fall. Important information regarding litter production, decomposition rates, and nutrient cycling can be obtained if mangrove tree litter is calculated correctly and combined with other biomass Mangrove forests are one of the most fertile ecosystems located along the coastline, thus contributing significantly to the surrounding environment. In addition to supporting various ecosystem services, including fisheries production, mangroves also provide nutrients (Prayitno. The largest production from the mangrove ecosystem is mangrove leaf fall. Important information regarding litter production, decomposition rates, and nutrient cycling can be obtained if mangrove tree litter is calculated correctly and combined with other biomass Primary productivity in waters influences the food chain for organisms within an In a body of water, the level of primary productivity indicates that the body of water is sufficiently productive in producing plant biomass, including the oxygen supply generated by photosynthesis. The development of an aquatic ecosystem, particularly regarding fisheries production, is closely linked to the availability of plant biomass and sufficient oxygen in the water (Amri et al. , 2. The mangrove leaf litter nutrient release approach can be used to estimate fish production in waters. The results of these primary productivity values will ultimately determine fisheries production in waters. Based on this, this study needs to analyze nutrient production (N. P) from mangrove leaf litter, estimate aquatic primary production from the results of mangrove litter nutrient release, and estimate fisheries production using the nutrient release approach. RESEARCH METHODS This research was conducted at the Wonorejo Mangrove Information Center. Surabaya City. East Java Province, and the UMM Fisheries Laboratory. This research was conducted for one . month, from April to May 2020. The determination of research stations was carried out intentionally using a purposive random sampling method, where research stations were taken with consideration referring to mangrove density and the determination of sampling points. The sampling area was divided e-ISSN : 2622-1934, p-ISSN : 2302-6049 Fisheries Journal, 15 . , 1881-1891. http://doi. org/10. 29303/jp. Indrawan & Hariyadi, . into 3 station sections with different mangrove densities, namely each station has low, medium and high density groups. (Santya et al. , 2. at each observation station, there are 3 line transects from the river towards the land . erpendicular to the coastline along the existing mangrove forest zonatio. in the intertidal area. Each line transect was placed randomly in a square plot with a size of 10 x 10 mA according to the width of the mangrove forest. Litter productivity calculations can be performed after detailed analysis of the data obtained from observations. The data analysis included the average litter yield . /m2/da. (Utami et al. , 2. The first step taken to calculate the rate of litter decomposition is to observe the percentage of litter decomposition on mangrove leaves using the Boonruang .

Estimating fish production in waters can be done using the nutrient release approach from leaf litter. The steps for estimating fish production include determining the nutrient (N and P) production results from leaf litter (Haris et al. , 2. e-ISSN : 2622-1934, p-ISSN : 2302-6049 Fisheries Journal, 15 . , 1881-1891. http://doi. org/10. 29303/jp.

The amount of nitrogen converted to dry weight . C) is 1 gC = 2 g dry weight (Haris et al. , 2. According to de Weir et al. , . , primary production is determined based on litter decomposition.

The production of carnivorous fish produced by the mangrove ecosystem is calculated with an efficiency of 10% in energy flow. CF is 10% of HF (Utami et al. , 2. Total fish production can be known if the value of herbivorous and carnivorous fish production is obtained from Beveridge . , namely: Total fish production (FB) = HF CV RESULTS Decomposition Rate The decomposition rate values at each station showed differences in each period. The highest average decomposition rate occurred during the first 10 days of observation and then decreased until the end of the observation. According to (Hastuti et al. , 2024. Raynaldo & Saputra, 2. marina and R. mucronata mangroves experienced a significant weight loss at the beginning of the study, and then the decomposition rate decreased for the remainder of the period. The dry weight of mangrove litter is presented in the graph below. e-ISSN : 2622-1934, p-ISSN : 2302-6049 Fisheries Journal, 15 . , 1881-1891. http://doi. org/10. 29303/jp.

Litter Dry Weight Graph Based on the data above, the dry weight of mangrove litter in the first 10 days of observation, namely station I was 5. 27, station II 4. 98 and station i was 5. Observations on the 20th day showed that station 1 was 3. 12, station II 3. 55 and station i 2. Observations on the 30th day showed that the dry weight of station 1 was 2. 08, station II 2. 77 and station i The high dry weight of the litter decomposition rate in the first 10 days of observation is thought to be due to the loss of organic and inorganic material content in the litter. The highest dry weight of the remaining litter on the 30th day of observation was station 2 at 2. 77 and the lowest residue at station 3 at 1. 80 grams. The dry weight of the remaining litter explains that the decomposition process at station 2 is lower than the other stations. Station 3 obtained the lowest dry weight because at station 3, many macrozoobenthos such as gastropods, decapods, aphepods, and crustaceans were found, which are thought to play a significant role in the decomposition process. According to (Redjeki, 2. , the decomposition and simplification of organic and inorganic material content occurs when mangrove leaves fall and are trapped. The availability of organic and inorganic materials will be consumed/decomposed by decomposers. The highest activity of fungal cellulolytic enzymes occurs at the beginning of the mangrove litter decomposition process. Bacteria are one of the components that play an important role in the decomposition process of mangrove litter. According to (Kusuma, 2023. Nolan et al. , 2019. Rejeki & Hisyam, 2. stated that the bacteria produced from mangrove leaf litter have diversity, but there are the most dominant ones found in all types of decomposed mangrove leaf litter such as Bacillus. In the Avicennia mangrove species, the bacteria found include Bacillus. Clostridium. Enterobacteria. Bacteroides. Plesiomonas. Bordella. Streptococcus and Neisseria. The percentage of litter decomposition rate is presented in the graph below. e-ISSN : 2622-1934, p-ISSN : 2302-6049 (%) Fisheries Journal, 15 . , 1881-1891. http://doi. org/10. 29303/jp.

Percentage of Litter Decomposition Rate The high percentage of decomposition rate on the 30th day of observation is suspected to be due to the role of decomposer organisms found in the litter bag. These decomposer organisms were found from the beginning of the observation, namely in the first 10 days of the Apdhan et al. , . the high decomposition rate occurred at the beginning of the observation, this is thought to be closely related to the loss of easily soluble organic and inorganic materials . and also the discovery of microorganisms that play a role in the breakdown of several substances contained in mangrove litter. In addition to the presence of decomposer organisms, the leaf structure of the Avicennia mangrove and the components that make up the leaves also affect the decomposition process. As is known. Avicennia leaves are Rainfall and tides also influence the rate of decomposition. During the rainy season, the environment tends to be more humid, allowing bacteria and decomposers to thrive. However, during high tide, physical mechanisms occur, causing mangrove litter to be inundated by seawater and affected by current movements. (Yusal et al. , 2. state that tides in waters can accelerate the process of litter decomposition. Through the process of slowly weathering the litter, sunlight and salt content can destroy the organic material. According to (Haris et al. Siegers, 2015. Widhitama et al. , 2. , in water areas, the litter decomposition process is assisted by physical mechanisms, namely tidal movements and prolonged seawater The mechanism for the loss of soluble material from mangrove litter is caused by rainwater or water flow.
