Abstract

The groupers are a group of demersal fish that live in tropical and subtropical areas and are mostly linked to coral reefs. The fish are highly valued in international markets and are subjected to overfishing in the wild. Accurate fish resource identification knowledge is essential for sustainable fisheries management. This research is aimed to generate a reference COI sequence library of grouper species caught in Simeulue and Banyak Islands, Aceh. The study was conducted from April-September 2021 at sixteen fish landing sites in Simeulue and Banyak Islands. In total, this study generated 70 COI sequences representing 20 grouper species. Epinephelus (54%) was the most prevalent grouper genus at the study site, followed by Cephalopholis (19%), Plectropomus (13%), Variola (12%), Hyporthodus (1%), and Anyperodon (1%). According to the IUCN classification, 17 species (85%) fall into the category of Least Concern, two (10%) fall into the category of Vulnerable, and one (5%) falls into the category of Data Deficient. The average genetic distance based on the Kimura-2-Parameter (K2P) between specimens was 0.51% at the species level and 8.34% at the genus level. Overall, this study has provided the COI sequence database of grouper for the Simeulue and Banyak Islands.

Abstract

Plastic debris is one of the serious problems in urban cities, including Banda Aceh city and Aceh Besar district, Indonesia. This waste is degraded into a small particle called microplastics. This waste has the potential to pollute the waters in the coastal area. The objective of the present study was to analyse the microplastic contamination of the sea surface waters of Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar District. Sea surface water was sampled from three locations, namely Gampong Jawa (Station 1), Alue Naga (Station 2), and Krueng Raya (Station 3) during January to March 2024. The results showed that there were four forms of microplastics found in the sea surface water sample, namely fragments, fibers, films, and pellets with nine colours, namely black, brown, blue, clear, red, yellow, green, pink, and purple. The fragments and black are the dominant form and colour of microplastic in the sea surface water of Banda Aceh city. The highest number of microplastic particles was found in Alue Naga waters (21.04 particles/L) and the least in Gampong Jawa waters (16.6 particles/L). Therefore, it is concluded that the surface of the seawater studied in this study has been contaminated with microplastics.Keywords: Microplastics Sea surface water Plastic waste Banda Aceh City Aceh Besar District

Abstract

Ectoparasite infections are a common problem in small-scale aquaculture, exerting a substantial influence on fishery production. In the context of Indonesia, the two prevalent fishery commodities are whiteleg shrimpLitopenaeus vannameiiand mud crabScylla serrata. These species are extensively cultured within Aceh province, using traditional and semi-intensive aquaculture ponds and there are no reports on ectoparasites in these two species of crustaceans. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in mud crab and whiteleg shrimp from Aceh between August to December 2022. Mud crab samples were collected from three locations, namely Langsa City, East Aceh, and North Aceh districts, while whiteleg shrimp samples were sampled from coastal ponds in Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, and Aceh Jaya districts. The samples were collected over five months, and a total of 300 for each species were examined microscopically by scraping the swimming legs body, and gills. Furthermore, macroscopic-sized and microscopic-sized ectoparasites were observed using stereo and binocular microscopes, respectively. The results showed that five species of ectoparasites were recorded during the study, namely Octolasmis sp., Vorticella sp., Epistylis sp., Oodinium sp., and Zoothamnium sp. Mud crab exhibited infestations of Octolasmis sp., Vorticella sp., Epistylis sp., and Oodinium sp., while whiteleg shrimp were infested byVorticellasp.,Epistylissp., andOodiniumsp. In this study, the highest intensity for crab and shrimp was recorded inOctolasmissp. and Epistylissp., in November and September, respectively. The gills showed higher intensity compared to other infested organs and based on sample origin, crab and shrimp from Langsa and Banda Aceh Cities had higher results compared to other locations.The prevalence of ectoparasites exhibited a high value, reaching 100%, showing that crustacean samples were infested by ectoparasites. Therefore, the intensity of ectoparasite was varied according to sample of origin, time of sampling and infested organs. The samples of both crab and whiteleg shrimp from all locations consistently exhibited ectoparasite infestations throughout the entire study period.Keywords:Octolasmis sp.Vorticella sp.Epistylis sp.Oodinium sp.Zoothamnium sp.

Abstract

The southwestern coast of Aceh Province is among the areas vulnerable to heavy metal pollution originating from human activities, including mining, agriculture, and household waste. Chue snails (Faunus ater) are among the aquatic organisms that can be used as a bioindicator of water pollution. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the content of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) in F. ater snails originating from seven estuary areas in the southwestern coast area of Aceh Province. Analysis was also carried out to determine the environmental factors affecting metal accumulation and potential risks to public health. Sampling was performed in various areas, including the Jembatan Kembar River (Aceh Singkil), Trumon River (South Aceh), Kuala Lama Tuha (Southwest Aceh), Peunaga Cut Ujong River (Nagan Raya), Suak Ribe Puteh (West Aceh), Teunom River (Aceh Jaya), and Leupung River (Aceh Besar). This study used a laboratory analysis method with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) instruments to measure metal concentrations in F. ater tissue. The results showed that all samples from seven areas were contaminated with Pb, Cd, and Hg at levels ranging from 0.691 - 1.575 mg/kg, 0.285 - 0.311 mg/kg, and 0.001 0.030 mg/kg, respectively. Pb and Cd content showed high heavy metal content, which exceeded the safe threshold according to the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM), Republic of Indonesia, with the greatest concentration found in the Southwest Aceh Regency. These results showed that the consumption of F. ater had the potential to endanger public health. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct outreach to the community to increase environmental awareness and food safety.Keywords:Heavy MetalBioaccumulationEstuaryBioindicatorsFaunus aterSDGs 13SDGs 14

Abstract

Climbing perchAnabas testudineusis a freshwater fish that has economic value and has been cultivated in Indonesia. However, the fish farmers face problems with high-quality larvae supply because the breeding technology for this species is not well developed. Sperm and oocyte storage technology is important information in fish breeding. Therefore, this research aims to determine the best storage temperature using the dry storage method. Six levels of storage temperatures were tested in this study, namely: 29C (room temperature as a control), 8C, 4C, 0C, -4C, and -8C. The oocytes are stored at the treatment temperature for 120 minutes, where every 30 minutes the quality of the oocytes is analyzed based on fertilization and hatchability parameters. The results showed thatstorage temperature had a significant effect on fertility (P0.05) but had no significant effect on hatchability or the normality of larvae (P0.05). The highest percentage of fertility was obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 50.33%; this value was significantly different with other treatments. The highest hatchability percentage value was also obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 12%. This value was significantly different in treatments E (-4C) and F (-8C), but not significantly different with treatments A (29C), C (4C), and D (0C) (P 0.05). The directobservations on the normality of the hatched larvae showed that all larvae had a normal morphology. In general, fertility and hatchability rate decrease with decreasing temperatures. Therefore, it is concluded that climbing perch fish eggs stored using the dry method can only be stored for less than 30 minutes, where the recommended temperature was 8C.

Abstract

The snapper species Lutjanus gibbus (L. gibbus) is commonly found in coastal areas characterized by coral reefs and clear water, while Lutjanus johnii (L. johnii) resides in mangrove waters with murky conditions and strong currents. The habitat plays a crucial role in influencing body shape and ossification patterns in fish. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the differences in the cranial bone morphology between the two Lutjanus fish species that resided in contrasting habitats. The fish samples were collected from local fishermen operating in the waters of Pulo Aceh, Aceh Besar, Indonesia. Following capture, the fish were transported and landed at Lampulo Fishing Port in Banda Aceh for further analysis. For each species, a total of 5 fish samples were randomly selected, and thorough cleaning of scales and muscles was performed before the drying of the bones. These dried cranial bones were then photographed, edited, and subjected to detailed analysis. The study showed that, of the 23 observed skull bone characters, 15 characters showed the differences in the cranial bones of the two snapper species, including the pre-ethmoidal, ethmoidal lateralis, prefrontal, supraorbital, nasal, ethmoidal, sphenoticum, crista occipital, lacrimal, inter-opercular, opercular, preopercular premaxilla, endopterygoideum, and hyomandibular. Significant differences were observed in the bones composing the eyes, nose, jaws, and ventral region of the head. In the mangrove snapper (L. johnii), the bones associated with the eyes (orbitospenoidal, supraorbital, and prefrontal) were less developed, while those related to the nose (nasal, ethmoidal, ethmoidal lateralis, pre-ethmoidal) showed well-developed characteristics. The coral snapper L. gibbus displayed a relatively small but thicker premaxilla bone in the jaw region, along with smaller bones in the ventral head area.Keywords:OsteologyMorphologyEcomorphologyOsteocraniumMaxillare

Abstract

Global warming is caused by increased carbon emissions into the atmosphere resulting from burning oil, gas, and other fossil fuels. Subsequently, the carbon gas enters the waters through a diffusion process facilitated by the concentration of gases in the air, which is higher than in the waters. The outcome of this process is a decrease in water acidity, leading to a lower pH, which can disrupt the life of aquatic biotas. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of decreasing of pH on the growth, survival, and physiological conditions of barramundi (Lates calcarifer). To achieve this objective, seven pH levels were tested, namely pH of 7.24 (control), pH 6.74, pH 6.24, pH 5.74, pH 5.24, pH 4.74, and pH 4.24. Every treatment was performed with four replications, and the fish was reared for 30 days in the respective tested pH. The reared madia is sea water with a salinity of 22 ppt. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of fish breeding Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiah. The results showed that a decreasing in pH had a significant effect on the growth performance and hematological condition of barramundi (P0.05), but its had no significant effect on survival (P0.05). The experimental fish could survive at pH 4.24, but their growth and hematological conditions were disrupted below 6.24. Therefore, it was concluded that the lower threshold value of pH for barramundi was 6.24.Keywords:Global warmingOcean aciditypHFisheries productionPhysiological disturbance
