Studi Sistem Respirasi dan Kajian Mikrobiologis Lumba-lumba Hidung Botol Indo Pasifik ( Tursiops aduncus) dari Perairan Laut Jawa (Systema Respiration and Microbiology Studies of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) Indo Pasific from The Java Sea)

Bottlenose dolphin is a species of dolphin, which is widely known by people. The disturbance from respiration of dolphin often occur, meanwhile the bacteria, which attacked the dolphin, is not yet examined. This research is to study the clinical examination of dolphin respiration and isolation of bacteria also Fungi in respiration system of bottlenose dolphin from java sea. The study was conducted with the study of literature, clinical examination and isolation of respiration system sample. Deep blowhole swab conducted on ten bottlenose dolphins in PT. Wersut Seguni Indonesia. Samples were sent to the laboratory of Microbiology Faculty for isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi. From this research it can be concluded that dolphins clinical examination can only be conducted through inspections. The results of isolation was found that 5 out of 10 dolphins (50%) positive infected by Staphylococcus aureus, while the fungus was not found. Based on these results, it was concluded that the clinical examination dolphins can be done by inspection of the blowhole, animal behavior, a “chuff” or “honk”, the frequency of respiration, socializing animals and animal position while swimming. The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus is found on the respiratory system of bottle nose dolphins from the waters of the Java Sea in PT. Wersut Seguni Indonesia .
