Abstract

Selar crumenophthalmus, known as the bigeye scad, is a commercially important small pelagic fish widely exploited in East Lombok waters. This study aims to examine the reproductive characteristics of the species, including gonadal maturity stages (GMS), gonadosomatic index (GSI), sex ratio, length–weight relationship, and length–fecundity relationship, based on samples collected at PPI Tanjung Luar from June to August 2025. This study employed a descriptive exploratory research design, with samples collected using quota sampling consisting of 90 individuals who landed at PPI Tanjung Luar from June to August 2025, and the data were analyzed descriptively. The species designated GMS I–V, with GMS II and III being the most dominant stages across months. The highest GSI values for both sexes occurred in June, indicating the peak spawning period, with female GSI reaching 2.34% and male GSI 0.80%. Monthly sex ratios shifted from 2.13:1 (June) to 0.64:1 (July) and 1:1 (August). The length–weight relationship showed positive allometric growth in males (b = 3.05) and negative allometric growth in females (b = 2.189). Fecundity ranged from 9,312–11,843 eggs in June and 8,495–15,006 eggs in July, with a strong positive correlation to body length in mature females. These findings indicate that reproduction peaks in June, providing essential information for the sustainable management of the species in Tanjung Luar.

Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills is a strategic agenda in biology education, particularly in preparing prospective teachers capable of integrating scientific analysis with real ecological contexts. However, learning that remains oriented towards classrooms and limited laboratories has not fully strengthened students' evaluative and argumentative abilities. Field learning based on M. reinwardt ecotourism offers a contextual approach that places students in authentic observation and analysis situations. This study aims to test the effectiveness of ecotourism-based field learning in improving the critical thinking skills (CTS) of Biology Education students. The study used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design. The experimental group implemented the Ecotourism-Based Field learning Model (EBFL) by studying the ecology and conservation of M. reinwardt in the Gunung Tunak and Kerandangan Nature Tourism Parks, while the control group followed a conventional laboratory practicum. The research instrument was a CTS test validated by experts, and the model's effectiveness was analysed using N-Gain and the Mann–Whitney test. The results showed a significant difference in CTS improvement between the experimental and control groups, as well as a substantive influence of field learning on higher-level cognitive achievement. These findings strengthen the development of an ecotourism-based contextual science learning model as a pedagogical innovation in the education of prospective biology teachers.
