Abstract

Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) dominates global aquaculture production due to its adaptability to intensive systems. However, intensive systems often experience excess accumulation of nitrogenous waste and total organic matter (TOM), which can destabilize microbial communities and affect water quality. While protozoa are known as bioindicators, few studies have explored how their functional composition interacts with nitrogen cycling and production performance in shrimp ponds. This study investigated the relationships between nitrogenous compounds, TOM, bacterial and protozoan abundance in two intensive shrimp ponds (HP: high protozoan abundance and LP: low protozoan abundance). Water quality parameters, including Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN), nitrite, nitrate, TOM, and phosphate, were monitored weekly alongside microbial assessments of total bacterial count (TBC), total Vibrio count (TVC), and protozoa abundance. Protozoa were identified microscopically, while shrimp performance was measured by growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival, and productivity. TOM emerged as the primary ecological driver, significantly correlating with Vibrio abundance (r = 0.585, p < 0.05). Although the high-protozoa pond featured greater bacterial biomass and more bacterivorous taxa (e.g., Ciliata, Vorticella), it had lower shrimp productivity. Conversely, the low-protozoa pond dominated by detritivores (Euplotes, Strombidionopsis) achieved superior growth, FCR, and final biomass, despite higher TOM and nitrite levels. These findings suggest that protozoan functional composition, rather than total abundance, critically influences nutrient cycling, microbial stability, and production outcomes. Managing TOM and fostering beneficial microbial loops are essential strategies for sustainable shrimp farming.

Abstract

Jaundice remains a recurrent problem in small-scale catfish aquaculture and contributes to reduced market value and economic losses for farmers. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of catfish farmers in Gelang Village, Tulangan District, Sidoarjo Regency, in producing and utilizing herbal immunostimulants as a preventive strategy. The program involved 10 farmers and was implemented through technical training consisting of theoretical sessions, hands-on practice, and mentoring. The immunostimulant introduced was prepared using a simple decoction method from locally available ingredients including Terminalia catappa, ginger, galangal, turmeric, and Curcuma xanthorrhiza. Quantitative evaluation showed an average knowledge increase of 147 percent from pre-test to post-test, with all participants exceeding the minimum improvement target. Practical skill assessment indicated an average mastery score of 94 percent, and 100 percent of participants were able to independently produce the extract. The readiness to adopt the technology reached an average score of 93 percent. Field observations indicated perceived effectiveness in supporting preventive health management practices. However, no laboratory analysis or biological measurements were conducted. This program primarily strengthened farmers’ knowledge, technical skills, and adoption readiness toward locally based preventive approaches that may support sustainable small-scale catfish farming.
