Abstract

Certain strains of V. parahaemolyticus carry a gene that encodes a toxin that causes Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in P. vannamei. AHPND attacks shrimp post larvae within 20-30 days after stocking causing up to 100% mortality. The expression of these virulent genes is controlled by the quorum sensing system. This system is inhibited by an anti-quorum sensing (AQS) mechanism. Several Bacillus strains have AQS mechanism by producing AHL-Lactonase enzyme. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain Bacillus spp. having AQS activity for controlling AHPND. The study was conducted from isolation and selection of Bacillus isolates, as well as determination of AQS activity. From 22 samples consisting of shrimp intestines, water and pond sediment samples, a total of 151 isolates of Bacillus spp. were isolated. The screening test for AQS activity obtained 11 isolates that showed AQS activity on Cromobacterium violaceum. Determination of violacein pigment in liquid cultures of C. violaceum showed the index value of the pigment formation was between 0.025-0.166 and 0.026-0.567 at 24-hour and between 48-hour incubations, respectively. The quantitative analysis of violacein production showed that there were six isolates of Bacillus could inhibit the pigment production more than 75%. The isolates were identified as Bacillus cereus (four isolates), Bacillus thuringiensis (one isolate), and Bacillus velezensis (one isolate), respectively. The molecular analysis had confirmed that the isolates have aiiA genes encoding AHL-lactonase enzyme. These Bacillus isolates have potential application for controlling AHNPD disease.

Abstract

Ketersediaan shelter (tempat perlindungan) pada kepadatan spesifik diharapkan dapat meningkatkan produksi kepiting bakau (Scylla serrata) dalam sistem resirkulasi. Shelter sebagai salah satu faktor abiotik berperan penting dalam mengurangi kematian yang disebabkan oleh kanibalisme kepiting dan menekan tingkat stres biota. Sistem Resirkulasi Akuakultur (RAS) dengan bak kotak kultur berkapasitas 60 L yang didukung oleh shelter diperkirakan menghasilkan respons fisiologis dan pertumbuhan kepiting bakau yang paling baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dampak penambahan shelter pada lingkungan dengan sistem resirkulasi terhadap respons fisiologis dan produksi kepiting bakau S. serrata dengan kepadatan 10 kepiting per satu bak kultur yang berisi 60 L air laut. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tiga perlakuan penambahan shelter, yaitu 2 shelter (S2), 4 shelter (S4), 6 shelter (S6), dan kontrol tanpa shelter (C). S6 adalah perlakuan terbaik dengan tingkat kelangsungan hidup 73,33±5,8%, laju pertumbuhan spesifik 0,886±0,014%, pertumbuhan lebar karapas 0,024±0,004 cm/hari, dan rasio konversi pakan terendah dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lain. Perlakuan S6 secara signifikan mempengaruhi jumlah hemosit total kepiting pada awal budidaya (P <0,05). Penambahan 6 shelter dapat mengoptimalkan pertumbuhan kepiting lumpur dengan kepadatan 10 kepiting dalam satu bak kotak kultur.

Abstract

Mud crab Scylla serrata is one of crustacean commodities with high economic value. One of the unsolved obstacles in mud crabs cultivation is crabs’ stress level caused by the declining water quality. The recirculating system is a method for maintaining water quality throughout the rearing period of culture crab. This system can use a variety of physical filter materials, such as zeolite, sand, and other materials. This study aimed to determine the amount of malang sand as a physical filter which positively affect the physiological responses and production performance of mud crabs. This research was carried out using a recirculating system with a completely randomized design conducted in five treatments with three replicates, i.e., malang sand with a weight of 0 kg (control), 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, and 20 kg. The results proved that the best physiological response and production performance of mud crab was observed at malang sand treatment with a weight of 5 kg. This treatment showed specific growth rate, absolute growth rate for body weight, absolute growth rate for body length, and the survival rate of mud crabs with the highest value of 0.18±0.061%, 0.13±0.05 g/day, 0.0016±0.00006 cm/day, and 77.77%, respectively, yet it had the lowest feed conversion ratio of 3.76±004. In addition, the 5 kg treatment had water quality parameters in the tolerable ranges for mud crabs’ growth.

Abstract

Horseshoe crabs are living fossils found in Indonesia. This study examined the food habit of horseshoe crabs (Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda and Tachypleus gigas) collected from Balikpapan coastal waters, East Kalimantan. Horseshoe crabs were captured using gill nets and picked by hand along the Balikpapan coast. The width of the prosoma and the body weight of each individual were measured, and the gut contents were analysed to determine the preponderance index, food niche breadth, and niche overlap. Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda prosoma widths ranged from 4.1 to 15.4 cm and those of Tachypleus gigas ranged from 2.8 to 24 cm. Eight food items were found in the gut of the horseshoe crabs, namely: bivalves, gastropods, scaphopoda, polychaetes, echinoderms, crustaceans, leaf litter and others. Based on the preponderance index, gastropods were the main food item of the two horseshoe crab species. In accordance to the food composition the horseshoe crabs inhabiting Balikpapan coastal waters are categorized as benthivores.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the supplementation of turmeric in the diet on antioxidant status and growth performance of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in zero water exchange condition. This study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. Each treatment consisted of feed supplementation turmeric at dosage of 0; 2.5; 5 or 7.5 g kg-1 diet. One hundred catfish juvenile (5.95±0.05 g) were stocked in intermediate bulk container (IBC) tank (1×1×1 m3) and rearing in zero water exchange condition for 60 days. Catfish were fed at satiation twice a day, in the morning and evening. The results showed that an increase in antioxidant content in catfish fed with the addition of turmeric, which simultaneously also reduced the percentage of liver damage. The parameters of liver damage can be seen from several parameters i.e. pale liver, droplet fat and fat content in the addition of turmeric treatment is lower than without the addition of turmeric. However, catfish fed with the addition of turmeric did not show significant results in terms of growth performances. Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi penambahan kunyit ke dalam pakan sebagai antioksidan dan kinerja pertumbuhan ikan lele Afrika (Clarias gariepinus). Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Setiap perlakuan terdiri atas penambahan dosis kunyit sebanyak 0; 2,5; 5 dan 7,5 g kg-1 pakan. Seratus benih ikan lele (5,95±0,05 g) dipelihara dalam tangki Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) (1×1×1 m3) dan dipelihara tanpa pergantian air selama 60 hari. Ikan lele diberi pakan secara at satiation dua kali sehari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan kandungan antioksidan pada ikan lele yang diberi pakan dengan penambahan kunyit di dalamnya, yang secara bersamaan juga mengurangi persentase kerusakan hati. Parameter kerusakan hati dapat dilihat dari beberapa parameter, seperti hati pucat, droplet lemak dan kandungan lemak pada perlakuan penambahan kunyit lebih rendah dibandingkan tanpa penambahan kunyit. Namun ikan lele yang diberikan pakan dengan penambahan kunyit tidak menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan dari segi pertumbuhannya.

Abstract

Guppies are ornamental fish that have economic value and can be cultivated. One of the problems in guppies cultivation is the poor quality of body color. The solution to this problem is to improve the environmental quality in guppy aquaculture. This study evaluates changes in color quality, behavioral response, and blood glucose levels of guppies using water immersion of Indian almond leaves on rearing media. Study was carried out using a completely randomized design consisting of five treatments. The rearing media was filled water with a total volume of 10 L from each treatment with different concentrations, namely, Control treatment (100% freshwater), A (75% freshwater + 25% Indian almond leaf water), B (50% freshwater + 50% Indian almond leaf), C (25% freshwater + 75% Indian almond leaf) and D (100% Indian almond leaf). Each treatment observed several test parameters such as color quality percentage, survival rate, chromatophores cells number, behavior, glucose levels, and the water physical-chemical parameters. Guppies' behavioral responses, in general, experienced an increasing change in each treatment for seven days. The highest color quality percentage by treatment D was 73.93±2.29%, and the highest glucose level was by the control treatment, which was 24.11±0.41 mg dL-1. The results of variance analysis showed that the water immersion of Indian almond leaves was significantly different on color quality, behavioral response, and blood glucose levels through Duncan's test (p<0.05). Abstrak Ikan guppy termasuk ikan hias yang memiliki nilai ekonomis dan dapat dibudidayakan. Salah satu masalah dalam budidaya ikan guppy yaitu kualitas warna tubuhnya yang tidak bagus.

Abstract

Vaccination is a practical step in preventing diseases caused by koi herpes virus (KHV) in koi fish (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus). We have developed two DNA vaccines for KHV named as GP-25 and GP-11 from two local isolates coded as ORF25 and ORF81, respectively. Although both vaccines have been reported to increase survival rates, the evaluation of koi fish immune responses at the molecular level has not been done post-vaccinations. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of koi herpesvirus DNA vaccine on the immune-modulation of koi fish at mRNA level. This recent research used the best vaccine doses of both vaccines determined from our previous study: 7.5 and 12.5 µg per 100 g fish of GP-11, and 12.5 µg per 100 g fish of GP-25. The immune gene expression was analyzed using the RT-qPCR method from the fish liver at 0, 1, 7, 14, and 28 days post-vaccination (dpv). The results showed that, in the vaccinated fish, the immune genes viz. tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa), interleukin-1b (IL1b), interferon-g (IFNg), Mx1, immunoglobulin Mu chain (IgM), and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II were induced to significant extents. The higher dose vaccination using the GP-11 vaccine showed higher immune gene expression than that of the lower dose. Furthermore, the GP-25 vaccine had induced lower immune responses than the GP-11 vaccine when using the same dose of vaccination, but relatively the same when the half-dose of GP-11 vaccine was used. In conclusion, the GP-11 and GP-25 vaccine provided the immune-modulatory effects on the koi fish immune response after vaccination.

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan jumlah substrat tali rafia yang berisi perifiton dalam meningkatkan kualitas air media pemeliharaan untuk pertumbuhan benih ikan gurame (Osphronemus gouramy). Perlakuan terdiri dari penambahan A (0 substrat), B (1 substrat), C (2 substrat), dan (3 substrat) tali rafia berisi perifiton (bobot 5 g/substrat). Benih ikan gurame 32 ekor (panjang total 4,8±0,30 cm dan bobot 1,9±0,38 g/ekor) dipelihara pada akuarium ukuran 27 cm x 30 cm x 60 cm. Selama pemeliharaan benih ikan gurame diberi pakan komersil secara at satiation tiga kali sehari. Parameter yang diamati adalah kualitas air, laju pertumbuhan spesifk, tingkat kelangsungan hidup, dan rasio konversi pakan. Hasil analisis kualitas air diperoleh nilai kisaran optimum untuk pertumbuhan benih ikan gurami pada perlakuan C (2 substrat) dan perlakuan D (3 substrat), Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh nyata (P<0,05) pada penambahan substrat yang berbeda terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan benih ikan gurame. Pada perlakuan C (2 substrat) memiliki performa pertumbuhan terbaik yaitu laju pertumbuhan spesifik panjang (cm) 1,33±0,03, laju pertumbuhan spesifik bobot (g) 4,03±0,12, tingkat kelangsungan hidup (%) 86,46±1,04, dan rasio konversi pakan 0,81±0,01. Substrat tali rafia dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media menempelnya perifiton, pemanfaatan 2 substrat tali rafia (10 gr) dapat diperoleh beberapa kelas perifiton yang dapat dijadikan sumber pakan alami untuk meningkatkan performa pertumbuhan benih ikan gurame dan dapat mempertahankan kualitas air media pemeliharaan. Perlu dilakukan kajian lebih lanjut mengenai pemanfaatan jenis substrat lainnya untuk meningkatkan produksi perifiton agar mengurangi penggunaan pakan komersil.The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum number of filled-periphyton raffia substrates serving as natural food to improve the growth performance of gouramy seeds (Osphronemus gouramy) and maintain the water quality rearing media. The treatments consisted of the addition of A (0 substrate), B (1 substrate), C (2 substrates), and D (3 substrates) raffia rope substrates filled with periphyton (5 g periphyton/substrate). Gouramy seeds of 32 individuals (total length 4.8±0.30 cm dan weight 1.9±0.38 g/ind.) were reared in an aquarium measuring 37 cm x 30 cm x 60 cm in size. During the rearing period, the gouramy seeds were fed with a commercial diet at satiation three times a day. The parameters observed were water quality parameters, specific growth rate, survival rate, and food conversion ratio. The results showed that treatment C (2 substrates) and D (3 substrates) had the optimum ranges of water quality to support the growth of gourami seeds. The statistical analysis also confirmed a significant (P<0.05) effect of the addition of different substrates to the growth performance of gouramy seeds. Gouramy seeds in treatment C (2 substrates) had the best growth performance in terms of specific length growth rate (cm) 1.33±0.03, specific weights growth rate (g) 4.03±0.12, survival rate (%) 86.46±1.04, and food conversion ratio 0.81±0.01. The raffia rope substrate can be used as a medium for attaching periphyton. The use of 2 raffia rope substrates (10 g) can be obtained from several classes of periphyton which can be used as a natural food source to improve the growth performance of gourami seeds and maintain the water quality of the maintenance media. It is necessary to carry out further studies regarding the use of other types of substrates to increase periphyton production in order to reduce the use of commercial feeds.
