Abstract

Kappaphycus alvarezii is an important red algae and can be used as one of the primary raw materials in fisheries. It is widely cultivated because of its relatively cheap production technology, and post-harvest handling is simple and easy. This algae has excellent economic value for carrageenan producers. Carrageenan is used as a food ingredient, cosmetics, and medicine. The success of cultivating K. alvarezii seaweed can be achieved if a suitable environment for its growth supports it. One of the environmental aspects that influence the growth of K. alvarezii seaweed is the bottom substrate of the waters. This research aims to analyze the best substrate for cultivating green K.alvarezii seaweed on a laboratory scale. This research used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and three repetitions, resulting in 12 experimental units. The treatments tested were different substrates: a coral substrate, a sand substrate, a volcanic rock substrate, and a coral sand substrate. The results of this study showed that the average survival rate in various substrate treatments ranged from 7.16% to 39%, final weight ranged from 1.43 g to 7.8 g, specific loss rate ranged from -3.157%/day to -5.124%/day, carrageenan yield ranged from 6.8% to 18.4%, and thallus tissue showed that all treatments still showed the presence of cortex and medullary tissue with varying shapes and structures.

Abstract

alvarezii is a superior product of Indonesian fisheries, producing carrageenan which is used as a food, cosmetic, and medicinal ingredient. K. striatus is a carrageenan-producing red alga that began to be cultivated in the Ekas waters of East Lombok in 2023. K. striatus is more resistant to epiphytes and sudden climate change. The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth of Kappaphycus alvarezii and Kappaphycus striatus. The research was conducted in Ekas Bay, Jerowaru District, East Lombok Regency. The research was conducted from November 8, 2023, to January 8, 2024. This research used an experimental method with T-test analysis. Treatments in this research are the cultivation of K. alvarezii and K. striatus. Cultivation was carried out at Ekas Bay. Analysis of seaweed carrageenan was carried out in the Laboratory of Fish Production and Reproduction, Aquaculture Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Mataram University. The result of this research is K. striatus has a higher absolute weight of 154 g compared to K. alvarezii seaweed which is 72 g. The specific growth rate K. striatus higher at 2,98 % / day compared to K. alvarezii is 1, 98 % / day. The yield of carrageenan of K. alvarezii is 1,95% and K. striatus 0,88%. Antioxidant of K. alvarezii is 5,46 % and K. striatus is 7,42%. Chlorophyll K. alvarezii is 5,77 mg/l and K. striatus is 3,51 mg/l. The conclusion of this study is the growth of K. striatus is faster than K. alvarezii.
