Abstract

Mud crab (Scylla serrata) is a high-value fishery commodity, but the success of its culture is still influenced by growth and moulting processes. This study aimed to analyze the effects of different rearing substrates on the growth rate, moulting frequency, and moulting time of mud crab. The study was conducted at the Dakota Crab Culture Facility, Mataram City, and the Aquaculture Environment Laboratory, Aquaculture Study Program, University of Mataram. An experimental method was used with two treatments, namely P1, a beach sand substrate, and P2, a beach sand substrate with the addition of mangrove leaves. Rearing was carried out in crab boxes connected to a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). The main parameters included moulting frequency, moulting time, absolute weight gain, absolute length growth, Specific Growth Rate (SGR), and Survival Rate (SR). The data were analyzed using a twosample t-test assuming unequal variances at the 5% level. The results showed that substrate differences had no significant effect on any parameter (p>0.05). Descriptively, treatment P2 produced a higher moulting frequency of 0.500±0.534 times/day than P1 at 0.375±0.517 times/day. Moulting time in P2 was also slightly faster, at 38.00±16.4 days, whereas P1 was 39.67±11.3 days. Thus, the combination of beach sand and mangrove leaves tended to be better for moulting frequency and moulting time, but the differences were not statistically significant.

Abstract

Aquaculture waste can increase dissolved inorganic nutrient concentrations, making seaweed-based treatment an important component of integrated biological nutrient management. This study aimed to evaluate strategic planting locations of Gracilaria sp. around floating net cages and assess its effectiveness as a natural biofilter for reducing nitrogenous waste in Ujung Betok waters, East Lombok. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was applied with three planting-distance treatments and three replicates. Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN) concentrations ranged from 0.29–0.31 mg/L at the beginning and 0.24–0.29 mg/L at the end of the 30-day culture period. ANOVA showed no significant difference in initial TAN among treatments (p = 0.868), whereas final TAN differed significantly among planting locations (p = 0.001). Final total nitrogen content in Gracilaria sp. tissue ranged from 0.287–0.330%, with the highest value in T2 (0.330 ± 0.050%), followed by T3 (0.303 ± 0.006%) and T1 (0.287 ± 0.015%). Planting location did not significantly affect tissue total nitrogen content (p > 0.05). Tissue nitrogen reduction was 13.03% in T1, 0.00% in T2, and 8.18% in T3. TAN reduction was highest in T1, decreasing from 0.31 to 0.24 mg/L or 22.58%, followed by T2 at 3.33%, while T3 showed no reduction. These results indicate that Gracilaria sp. can contribute to nitrogen removal, with the 25 m planting location showing the best biofiltration performance.
