摘要:Aceh waters, one of the largest sea region in Indonesia, is believed to hold the greatest
potential of marine and fisheries resources. The present paper aims to conduct seawater samplings by
means of stationery as well as underway survey operated by R/V Baruna Jaya IV. The result showed that
four types of water masses were identified for each layers and salt-lens structure covering 60 miles in
diameter and 25 meters in thickness, with core salinity is greater than 35 psu was detected at 75-100
meters depth across the thermocline layer in the Northern Weh Island. This salinity front could be an
early detection to the occurrence of upwelling phenomenon and have a close potential on the existence
of pelagic fish. This finding brings benefit towards future marine resources development in Aceh,
Indonesia.
