Abstract

Many factors encourage the exploitation of the blue swimming crab in the estuarine water of Langsa City. Therefore, maintaining crab populations in nature through fishing regulation becomes an important effort. Evaluation of the biological aspects of the blue swimming crab population the estuarine waters of Langsa City has the main role in the arrangement of regulation. This study aimed to determine the biology of the blue swimming crab population in the estuarine waters of Langsa City. This research was carried out in August 2022 in the estuarine waters of Langsa City. The method used was the survey method. The crab samples were taken randomly from the crab fishermen as much as 10% of the catch. Sampling once a week at 2 different location points for 1 month. The results showed that the relationship between carapace width and weight of male and female blue swimming crabs (Portunus pelagicus) had a negative allometric growth pattern because of the value of b 3, namely 1.22 and 1.21. The sex ratio of blue swimming crabs was not 1:1 or unbalanced. Gonadal maturity of male crabs was highest in level I, meanwhile the female could achieve the gonadal maturity in level V. During the research, the water quality of estuarine waters was in optimum condition.Keywords:Blue swimming crabBiological aspectEstuarinePopulation

Abstract

Phytoplankton blooms in the lake cause ecological, economic, health, energy, and aesthetic losses. It reduces water quality and biota diversity, creates toxins in the waters, and changes the structures and functions of the ecosystem. The essential nutrients for the growth of phytoplankton are nitrogen and phosphorus. Controlling phytoplankton growth can be managed by controlling the limiting nutrient input. This study aims to identify the limiting nutrient, analyze variations in TN:TP ratio spatially and temporally, and model TN:TP ratio and chlorophyll-a relationship. This study used secondary data from previous studies, namely TN, TP, and chlorophyll-a observed monthly in seven stations purposively during a year. Rainfall data was also obtained from the previous study. Limiting nutrients were determined by Redfield theory, and data were analyzed by Spearman correlation, One-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and regression analysis. The results showed phosphorus was a limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in Lake Laut Tawar. TN:TP ratio and chlorophyll-a did not vary spatially, indicating the lake surface waters were evenly mixed. The parameters varied temporally, expressing the influence of hydroclimatological factors, especially rainfall. Rainfall increases nutrient input to the lake, but only rain below 200 mm/month causes an increase in the concentration of nutrients in the lake. The rainfall above 200 mm/month increases lake water volume significantly, thereby reducing nutrient concentrations. TN:TP ratio and chlorophyll-a related negatively and formed a non-linear relationship with an empirical model Chlorophyll-a = 2770.285 (TN/TP)-1.871. Eutrophication of Lake Laut Tawar should be anticipated by controlling the anthropogenic phosphorus input.Keywords:AnthropogenicChlorophyll-aEutrophication,Limiting nutrientRainfall

Abstract

Tubifex worms are freshwater oligochaetes characterized by their bright red color and high nutritional content, consisting of 57% protein, 13.3% fat, 2.04% crude fiber, and 3.6% ash. Their natural populations have declined due to water pollution from waste, which reduces water quality, thus necessitating cultivation efforts. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fermented sawdust and cocopeat as culture substrates on the biomass, population, and growth rate of Tubifex worms. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a non-factorial model consisting of four treatments and three replications: A (control: 80% mud + 20% chicken manure), B (80% fermented sawdust + 20% chicken manure), C (80% fermented cocopeat + 20% chicken manure), and D (40% fermented sawdust + 40% fermented cocopeat + 20% chicken manure). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that different substrate compositions had a significant effect on biomass, population peak, and growth rate. The best performance was observed in treatment B, which resulted in the highest biomass (13.32 g/container), the highest population peak (120,111 individuals/container on day 40), and the highest growth rate (3.09%). These results indicate that fermented sawdust supplemented with chicken manure is the most effective substrate for enhancing the growth and population of Tubifex worms.
