Abstract

The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fab.) is one of Indonesia’s leading aquaculture commodities; however, its production has declined due to various factors affecting growth, such as feed quality and environmental conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of incorporating the probiotics Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus coagulans to shrimp feed on growth performance, feed efficiency, and molting frequency of black tiger shrimp. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with six treatments: one control (no probiotic addition) and five probiotic treatments at a dose of 15 mL/kg of feed, these treatments were as follows: A (control), B (100% S. thermophilus), C (100% B. coagulans), D (50% S. thermophilus and 50% B. coagulans), E (75% S. thermophilus and 25% B. coagulans), and F (25% S. thermophilus and 75% B. coagulans). Measured parameters included absolute body length, absolute body weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), survival rate (SR), feed efficiency (FE), and molting frequency. The results indicated that treatment with B. coagulans (Treatment C) had a significant effect on absolute weight, specific growth rate, and survival rate, but no significant effect on FCR, FE, and molting frequency. In conclusion, the addition of B. coagulans to shrimp feed shows potential in enhancing growth performance in Penaeus monodon.

Abstract

Treatment using environmentally friendly natural materials, such as Orthosiphon aristatus (cat’s whiskers) leaf extract, can inhibit the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila in Tambaqui juvenile (Colossoma macropomum). This study aimed to determine the effect of Orthosiphon aristatus leaf extract on Tambaqui juvenile infected with Aeromonas hydrophila and to identify the optimal concentration based on blood profile responses during treatment. The research was conducted from April to May 2024 at the Fish Hatchery and Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiah Kuala. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used, consisting of five treatments and four replications. The extract concentrations were as follows: Treatment A (control), B (2 ppt), C (3 ppt), D (4 ppt), and E (5 ppt), administered via immersion. The clinical symptoms observed after treatment indicated that the extract had a positive effect on the fish: they regained active swimming behavior, feeding response improved, red patches faded, mucus secretion decreased, and scales returned to normal. Abdominal swelling subsided, and eye conditions normalized. ANOVA results showed a significant difference in survival rate (P<0.05), with the highest survival observed in Treatment D (4 ppt), at 86.75 ± 5.31%. In conclusion, Orthosiphon aristatus leaf extract at a concentration of 4 ppt provided the best outcomes in terms of clinical symptoms, survival rate, leukocyte and erythrocyte counts, and hemoglobin levels, indicating its potential as an antibacterial agent for Tambaqui juvenile.
