Abstract

Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is one of Indonesia’s essential fishery commodities, but overfishing has depleted its population. Aquaculture, as an alternative to produce this crab, is hampered by high levels of cannibalism. Substrates or shelters can reduce cannibalism. This study compared the effectiveness of one substrate and two types of shelter for reducing cannibalism of P. pelagicus crablets. Crablets with average carapace length of 3.6 ± 2.2 cm and average weight of 6.4 ±1.5 g.ind-1 were stocked in 24 rectangular tarpaulin tanks with 1 m2 surface and 50 cm water depth. The stocking density was 8 crablets in each tank. A split-plot experimental design was applied with four main plots and two subplots with 3 replications. The main plot consisted of A0 (without shelter), A1 (seaweed), A2 (pipes), and A3 (seaweed and pipes), and sub-plots had either no-substrate (B0) or sand-substrate (B1). Cannibalism (K), survival (S), and four water quality parameters were recorded for 42 days. The data were analyzed using an ANOVA for a split-plot design and post-hoc Tukey. The results show that the sand substrate significantly (P>0.05) reduced cannibalism and increased survival of the P. pelagicus. Treatment A0B0, without substrate or shelter, showed the highest cannibalism (54±7%) and lowest survival rates (33±7%). While treatment A1B1, with Gracillaria sp. as shelter and sand as bottom-substrate resulted in the lowest cannibalism (4±7%) and highest survival rates (88±13%).

Abstract

Gracilaria sp. has a high economic value, which can be cultivated in monoculture or polyculture with other cultivars, such as milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsk). Polyculture of Gracilaria sp. with milkfish can increase the growth of Gracilaria sp. because the metabolic products of milkfish are helpful as a source of nutrients for Gracilaria sp. This study aimed to (1) examine the effect of Gracilaria sp. cultivation in monoculture and polyculture with milkfish on the growth of Gracilaria sp. and (2) the nutrient content of the water. This study used an experimental method with two treatments and three replications using six (6) earth ponds: Gracilaria sp. monoculture and polyculture with milkfish. Growth and nutrient content (nitrate and phosphate) data were analyzed using a t-test. The results of the study showed that the growth of Gracilaria sp. polyculture with milkfish provided absolute growth of 3615.89 ± 330.84 g; Relative Growth Rate (RGR) 180.79 ± 16.54 %; and Specific Growth Rate (SGR) 2.29 ± 0.13 %/day were significantly higher, compared with the growth of Gracilaria sp. monoculture. Monoculture Gracilaria sp showed absolute growth of 1912.71 ± 386.94 g; RGR 95.64 ± 19.35 %; and SGR 1.48 ± 0.22 %.day-1. Nutrient content in polyculture pond waters revealed nitrate 1.08 ± 0.09 mg.L-1 and phosphate 0.18 ± 0.04 mg.L-1 were significantly higher compared to nutrient content in monoculture pond waters which were nitrate 0.71 ± 0.22 mg.L-1 and 0.07 ± 0.04 mg.L-1. Polyculture Gracilaria and seaweed provide higher production due to the enrichment from nutrient content.
