Abstract

The Nypa palm worm Namalycastis rhodochorde can be cultivated because it has high economic value; however, knowledge of its reproductive biology is still poorly understood, especially regarding reproductive hormones for engineering and accelerated maturation. This research aimed to obtain profile data of the three reproductive hormones i.e: estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone of Nypa palm worms. Samples were taken from body coelom fluid containing gametes from three stages of development; immature, submature, and mature. Analysis of progesterone and testosterone used the Radio Immunoassay method while estradiol used the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay method. Analysis of variance was used to determine differences in hormone concentrations based on developmental stages. The concentration of the Estradiol hormone increases with maturation, while the concentrations of progesterone and testosterone do not differ at all stages of development.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The common goldfish Carassius auratus auratus is an ornamental freshwater fish species with  high market value. The market value of ornamental fish can be determined through some parameters, one of them is brightness of the fish scales. Brightness level may be enhanced by supplementing plant powder containing carotenoid into fish diet. The purpose of this research was to examine the scale brightness level of common goldfish fed diet supplemented with Sargassum sp. and pumpkin powder, and to determine the dose of those powders that allows higher brightness level of scale.  The feed of common goldfish was supplemented with either Sargassum sp. or pumpkin powder at the doses of 10, 20 and 30%, and without supplementation as control. Fishes were reared for 75 days and fed diet at feeding rate of 5% biomass daily. The results of ANOVA test showed that the Sargassum sp. and pumpkin mill addition on food significantly improved of scales brightness of  common goldfish. Increasing supplementation levels of Sargassum sp. and pumpkin powder increased brightness level of scale. The highest improvement in brightness was the fish that fed by 30% concentration of Sargassum sp. flour with the value scale of brightness was 2.67 and the total number of 2,890.67 chromatophore cells. The results suggest that Sargassum sp. powder is better to improve the brightness level of common goldfish scale. Keywords: Carassius auratus auratus, Sargassum sp., Cucurbita moschata, carotenoid, brightness  ABSTRAK Ikan komet Carassius auratus auratus merupakan salah satu spesies ikan hias air tawar yang memiliki nilai jual tinggi. Nilai jual ikan hias dapat ditentukan melalui beberapa parameter, salah satunya yaitu kecerahan sisik ikan. Kecerahan sisik ikan dapat ditingkatkan melalui pemberian pakan yang diperkaya karotenoid. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji tingkat kecerahan warna sisik ikan komet setelah diberi pakan dengan tambahan tepung Sargassum sp. dan labu kuning, dan menentukan dosis masing-masing tepung tersebut yang memberikan tingkat kecerahan tertinggi pada sisik ikan komet. Pakan ikan komet ditambahkan dengan tepung Sargassum sp. atau tepung labu kuning sebanyak 10, 20 dan 30%, serta tanpa suplementasi sebagai kontrol. Ikan dipelihara selama 75 hari dan diberi pakan uji sebanyak 5% biomassa setiap hari. Hasil uji ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung Sargassum sp. dan labu kuning berpengaruh nyata terhadap peningkatan kecerahan sisik ikan komet. Semakin tinggi kadar tepung Sargassum sp. dan labu kuning yang ditambahkan ke pakan, maka semakin tinggi tingkat kecerahan sisik ikan komet. Tingkat kecerahan tertinggi terjadi pada ikan komet yang diberi pakan tambahan berupa tepung Sargassum sp. sebesar  30% dengan nilai kecerahan 2,67 dan jumlah kromatofor sebanyak 2.890,67 sel. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Sargassum sp. lebih bagus digunakan untuk meningkatkan kecerahan sisik ikan komet daripada labu kuning. Kata kunci: Carassius auratus auratus, Sargassum sp., Cucurbita moschata, karotenoid, kecerahan

Abstract

Humic acid, an organic compound from peat soil, rich in antioxidants such as quinone and phenol, shows potential as an antidiabetic agent. This study aims to identify the optimal dose of humic acid extract for increasing body weight, lowering blood glucose levels, reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and improving the microanatomical structure of the pancreas in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The humic acid was extracted from peat soil at Tanjungpura University. The study utilized 25 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 8-12 weeks, organized in a group randomized design (GRD). Interventions included a single dose of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg b.w.) and varying doses of humic acid extract administered over 14 days post-induction. Results indicated that a dose of 375 mg/kg b.w. humic acid extract resulted in an increased final body weight by 11.86%, a reduction in fasting blood glucose levels by 79.23%, an AUC0-120 value of 19.311, and a final MDA level of 1.09 ±0.27 nmol/ml. These findings indicate the potential of humic acid as a therapeutic agent for diabetes.

Abstract

The nipah worm (Namalycastis rhodochorde) is a Polychaete species found in the nipah (Nypa sp.) mangrove ecosystem of West Kalimantan. Since its identification in 2007, research on this species has been limited. Nipah worms play a crucial role in trophic levels, serving as a food source for various aquatic animals due to their high nutritional content. Although attempts have been made to cultivate nipah worms, these efforts are still hindered by disease outbreaks, one of which is caused by a bacteria. This study aims to investigate the immune response of nipah worms following induction with Pseudonocardia spp. isolated from nipah fronds. The research methodology included the preparation of tools and materials, acclimation of nipah worms, reculturing of Pseudonocardia spp. and the creation of test suspensions, as well as the calculation of the total and differential counts of coelomocytes before and after bacterial induction. The results indicated an increase in the number of several types of coelomocytes in nipah worms, specifically type I by 53,2%, type III by 54%, type IV by 56,2%, and type V by 61,4% after induction with Pseudonocardia spp.

Abstract

Biodegradation of nipa palm fronds using cellulolytic bacteria on an in-vitro scale was conducted to produce feed for cultivating palm worms (Namalycastis rhodochorde). The spontaneous degradation process is thought to trigger the growth of other microbes from raw materials from unsterilized nypa palm fronds. This research aims to determine the presence of different microbes that participate in the degradation process of palm fronds supplemented with cellulolytic bacterial isolates. The biodegradation process was conducted using dry palm fronds that were not sterilized, without pressurized heat, for 30 days in a sterile container. Cellulolytic bacterial isolates were added to facilitate the process. The research results revealed three characteristics of bacterial colonies with two cell shapes: bacilli and spirals bacterial isolates. The study also identified the presence of protozoa that exhibited morphological similarities to the Ciliophora group. This research provides valuable reports for further studies on the biodegradation process of palm fronds, specifically about ensuring feed safety for cultivating nypa palm worms.
