Abstract

The presence and establishment of invasive alien fish species is one of the biggest threats to aquatic biodiversity. The red devil, Amphilopus citrinellus, is one of the emerging invasive species and its occurrence is massively detected in common water bodies in tropical areas such as Indonesia. However, the topic remains under-reported from the small urban lakes. This study aims to present the reproductive characteristics of the fish in Situ Cilodong, a small urban lake in the country, that can be used as a principal reference for population control. The sampling was conducted in June 2021 and May 2022 using a mix of seven mesh-sized gillnets. The results of the length-weight relationship reveal that both the female and male fish perform isometric growth type. The calculated Gonad Somatic Index (GSI) and the histological analysis confirmed that the fish is a multi-spawner species. The results imply that sustainable population control efforts must include intensive catch and engage a participatory approach between the legal authority and the local fishers.

Abstract

To alleviate the consequence of severe biodiversity threats, fifteen national priority lakes to be rehabilitated have been declared in Indonesia. Lake Sentarum National Park (LNSP), one of the lakes, is a distinctive floodplain lake that exhibits significant vegetation and flora diversity. One particular ecosystem type in the area is dwarf swamp forest vegetation, which displays enormous amounts of floral vegetation in that area. This study intends to uncover vegetation data in the dwarf swamp forest habitat, which currently has relatively limited data series about its diversities. The vegetation specimens were collected using a 50 x 50 m line transect. Fourteen species from ten families were collected from six observation stations. The most prevalent vegetation is C. cf. ensifolius, I. mentangis, and B. acutangula. The species diversity index (H') is 1.78 (low category), and the small lake area has a greater species variety than the river area in the LNSP area. Furthermore, we found that dwarf swamp forest vegetation is mainly used as food for Apis dorsata honey bees to produce forest honey. The findings of this study will be helpful as a fundamental reference for future monitoring, research, and conservation efforts in the park.

Abstract

Estuaries in Banten Bay support fisheries activities by serving as critical habitats for plankton communities, which form the foundation of the aquatic food web. This study aims to determine the structure of plankton communities, both phytoplankton and zooplankton, as baseline data for fisheries management in Banten Bay estuaries. Fieldwork was conducted in April and October 2021 at four estuaries in Banten Province: Karangantu, Wadas, Cengkok Estuary, and Pamong. Water samples were collected for plankton identification and analysis of physical and chemical water quality parameters in situ and laboratory. Key structural attributes, including Shannon - Wiener diversity index (H'), evenness index (E), dominance index (C), trophic status and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), were also assessed. The highest abundance of phytoplankton was found in the Karangantu estuary, while the highest abundance of zooplankton was observed in the Pamong estuary, with overall abundance higher in April. Phytoplankton diversity was highest in Karangantu in October, whereas zooplankton diversity peaked in April. Plankton diversity indicated slight to moderate pollution levels, and trophic status analysis revealed eutrophic to hypertrophic conditions across the estuaries, suggesting high nutrient levels that support fish productivity. CCA revealed significant correlations between environmental variables and plankton composition and abundance. Mitigation strategies are recommended to monitor the growth of Chaetoceros sp. and Bacteriastrum sp., especially during the dry season. Long-term monitoring of water quality and plankton dynamics is essential in other estuaries of Banten Bay to assess nutrient loading impacts and develop strategies to mitigate harmful algal blooms. These efforts are critical to ensuring sustainable fisheries management in the region.

Abstract

Cultivating duckweed in aquaculture effluent offers a viable approach to eliminating contaminants. The duckweed biomass obtained can be utilized for the generation of bioenergy. However, elevated levels of ammonium (NH4+) in aquaculture effluent, combined with variations in light intensity, can hinder biomass formation. The precise mechanisms underlying this inhibition remain incompletely elucidated. The study assessed the efficacy of duckweed (Lemna perpusilla) as a treatment agent for wastewater from catfish farms. The objective was to evaluate the growth response of duckweed and its efficacy in reducing ammonium levels. The research demonstrated that daily light intensity fluctuated using shade nets and that the ammonium concentration of aquaculture wastewater varied according to the age of the fish. The shade nets, which blocked 25% of the sunlight and had an average daily light intensity of 3433.34–15199.56 lux, demonstrated a slightly elevated NH4+ removal efficiency and duckweed productivity of 69.34% and 0.050 kg/m²/day, respectively. However, these values were not statistically significant when compared to conditions without shade nets, which had a removal efficiency of 63.97% and duckweed productivity of 0.042kg/m2/day (P<0.05). The implementation of shade structures that effectively decrease solar exposure by 25% shows promise for enhancing duckweed productivity and optimizing nutrient reduction in wastewater from fish cultivation systems. This approach contributes to the promotion of sustainable integrated aquaculture.
