Abstract

Sea turtle populations have declined due to habitat destruction and the widespread collection of eggs for commercial purposes. This study assessed the characteristics and suitability of semi-natural hatchery habitats for Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Batu Hiu Beach, Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia, from June 1-July 31, 2023. The survey method and purposive sampling were employed to determine nesting sites based on turtle landing points.Biophysical habitat measurements were analyzed descriptively and statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test to compare sand temperature, sand humidity, and air humidity. An L. olivacea landed at site 4, laying 73 eggs in a natural nest with 34 cm nest depth and 24 cm nest diameter. Semi-natural nests measured 37 cm nest depth and 26 cm in nest diameter. The sand type at Batu Hiu Beach was characterized by black sand grains and fine sand substrate with a percentage of 51.02%. The temperature within the hatchery ranged from 25.3°C to 42.1°C.  with average of 29.7 ± 1.88 °C.The sand humidity in the hatchery ranged from 2% to 14%, with an average daily humidity of 10 ± 0.22 %. The air humidity within the hatchery ranged from 56% to 94%, with a daily average of 85 ± 0.05 %.

Abstract

Indonesia covers over 15% of global tuna production. This has placed Indonesia as the top tuna-producing country in the world. Troll line is one of the fishing fleets that targets tuna as main catch, operates in many areas in Indonesia, including those bases at Palabuhanratu Nusantara Fishing Port in Sukabumi. Fishermen complained about uncertain changes of the fishing season in recent years. This causes fishermen unable to determine the right time for fishing. Some trolling fishermen suffer losses and even bankruptcy. This study tried to estimate fishing season for trolling fleets based on three main catch commodities: skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, and bigeye tuna. Data on catches and fishing trips are collected monthly from 2018 to 2022 from the Sukabumi Regency Central Capture Fisheries Statistics Agency. Data was processed using a catch-per-unit effort approach followed by a fishing season index analysis. Results show that the three main catch commodities have similar fishing season patterns. Peak fishing season is from the beginning of the east season in June to the middle of the second transition season in October. Productivity of the three commodities reached its lowest point in the lean season in January and February, in the middle and end of the west season.Keywords: catch composition, fishing season, productivity, tuna

Abstract

The appearance of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is related to the availability of food in a water area, and it has become a tourist attraction which requires integrated management to prevent it from becoming threats to whale sharks. The appearance of whale sharks is regular throughout the year with the highest number of individuals occurring only in Kwatisore waters. This study aims to examine the bio-ecology of whale sharks related to their appearance based on individuals, quantity, time of appearance, and sex. Primary data collection carried out from January 16 to March 26, 2023, using a census method on 4 units of fishing lift-net deployed in Kwatisore waters. The results showed that 21 individual whale sharks appeared with a total of 225 occurrences in January, 245 occurrences in February, and 248 occurrences in March. There was also one new individual that migrated into Kwatisore waters with the ID number 184. Whale shark appearances mostly happened in the morning and the appearance percentage was 100% male with a total length ranging from 3 to 7.5 m. Environmental factors in Kwatisore waters were in normal conditions supporting the appearance of whale sharks. Keywords: Whale sharks, appearance, new individual, environmental factors

Abstract

In order to overcome the decline of pond carrying capacity due to intensification, polyculture of Penaeus monodon with Gracilaria sp. can be implemented to allow sustainability. This study aimed  to evaluate the effect of shrimp densities in a polyculture system with Gracilaria sp. on the shrimp’s survival rate and growth. The research design used in this study was Randomized Block Design (RBD) in triplicate with 3 treatments of stocking density (2, 3, and 4 ind/m2). This research was carried out for 90 days in extensive ponds with 0% use of artificial feed. At the end of the study, the results showed that different stocking density applied had no significant effect (p>0.05) on growth performance. Nonetheless, shrimp at a stocking density of 2 ind/m2 had the highest survival rate (30.30±1.48%) compared to other treatments. Higher shrimp density causes competition for space, food, and oxygen which leads to stress resulting in suppressed growth of shrimp. However, Gracilaria integration in shrimp polyculture effectively reduces nutrient loads and stabilize water quality (temperature, pH, salinity, and DO), leading to improved shrimp health and a decreased need for chemical inputs, offering a practical, eco-friendly solution for maintaining shrimp growth in such a denser environment.Keywords: algae, aquaculture, bioremediation, coastal, integrated

Abstract

Acanthocephala is a parasite commonly found in the digestive tract of fish. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and mean intensity of Acanthocephala infecting the shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma) caught from the southern coast of Yogyakarta and to identify those parasites by morphological approach. A total of 221 samples of fish were obtained from local fishermen operating in fishing grounds along the southern coast of the Indian Ocean in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The fish samples were measured for total length (TL) and weight and dissected to examine for the presence of Acanthocephala. Parasite samples were collected from the digestive tract of shortfin scad and preserved in absolute ethanol for further identification. Data analysis focused on calculating prevalence and mean intensity of infection. The results showed that the prevalence of Acanthocephala infection was 16.3%, with a mean intensity of 1.9 larvae/host. Both the prevalence and the mean intensity tended to increase with increasing fish length. Most of the shortfin scad (75%) was infected with Acanthocephala at a relatively low intensity (1-2 larvae/host). The highest intensity of Acanthocephala infection was 13 larvae/host and was only found in one fish. Morphological identification indicated that the genus infecting shortfin scad was Acanthocephalus (Koelreuther, 1771). Keywords: Acanthocephalus, biological tag, morphology, parasite, prevalence

Abstract

The littoral zone is the most vulnerable area to the impacts of climate change and human activities. Current weather anomalies and the development of human activities in coastal areas are on the rise. Remote sensing and geographic information system approaches have been widely used to monitor shoreline changes using easily accessible satellite imagery. This study aims to identify the dominant factors driving littoral change at Bantul Beach and assess the relationship between tourism activity and coastal abrasion. This study uses the Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis method using Landsat-8 satellite imagery from 2013 to 2023. In monitoring shoreline changes, NDWI and DSAS analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing coastal changes. A study was also conducted to examine the parameters of the coastal profile, wind, waves, tides, and human activities. Based on 10 years of image data, the study location has generally experienced high abrasion, with an average EPR value of -1.51 m/year, an average SCE value of 47 meters, and a dominant negative NSM value. The most influential factors are the slope of the shoreline and waves, especially during high waves or storms. The increase in the number of tourists in Bantul Yogyakarta tourism spots is not linearly correlated to the occurrence of abrasion. There needs to be coastal protection and mitigation that prioritizes the dominant factors causing abrasion, utilizing a soft engineering approach and local wisdom.Keywords: Shoreline changes, Tourist Coastal Areas, DSAS, Landsat-8, Bantul Yogyakarta

Abstract

Coastal Green Infrastructure (CGI) is increasingly recognized as a nature-based solution to address climate-related challenges such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and flooding. However, there remains a lack of standardized and the implementation of CGI resolves the limitation of globally adaptable methods for identifying selecting optimal CGI implementation sites, particularly in tropical coastal regions with diverse environmental characteristics. This study aimed to develop an alternative assessment approach by constructing in assessing CGI potential, focusing on the CGI Coastal Protection Index and CGI Coastal Vulnerability Indices, specifically tailored to tropical coasts. The method incorporated ecological and physical indicators derived Index, with a specific emphasis on tropical coast. Using a comprehensive case study from remote sensing and the southern coast of West Java, the research combines literature review, spatial analysis and was applied to the southern coastal region of West Java, Indonesia, and decision-making frameworks to identify key indicators in developing these indexes. The findings reveal that this region is highly vulnerable to climate-induced coastal hazards, with insufficient existing protection and relatively low CGI implementation potential. By proposing a practical and location-sensitive assessment framework, this study fills a methodological gap in CGI research and offers. This study advances the nature-based coastal protection researches by providing a practical evaluation method of the CGI potential, addressing the existing research gap in tropical environments, and offering valuable insights for advancing coastal management strategies in tropical settings.Keywords: Coastal Green Infrastructure (CGI), climate change, coastal protection, coastal vulnerability, southern coast of West Java.

Abstract

The technology of sex reversal in guppy (Poecilia reticulata) cultivation is a way to produce monosex males through masculinization techniques. Utilization of Tribulus terrestris (ETT) extract can be used for a lower cost and is environmentally friendly. This study aims to examine the effect of giving Tribulus terrestris extract on masculinization of guppies by immersing pregnant female mothers and in the larval stage. The research design for sex reversal with pregnant sows used a completely randomized design (CRD) and for guppies in larval stages used a randomized block design (RBD). The treatment for immersion with pregnant mothers was K- without ETT and 17alpha-methyltestosterone, K+ treatment with 17alpha-methyltestosterone 500 microgram/L, P1 with 5 mg/L ETT dose, P2 with 10 mg/L ETT dose, and P3 with 10 mg/L ETT dose. ETT 15 mg/L. The treatment for immersion in the larval stage was K- without ETT and 17alpha-methyltestosterone, K+ treatment with a dose of 17alpha-methyltestosterone 8 mg/L, P1 with an ETT dose of 2.5 mg/L, P2 with an ETT dose of 5 mg/L, and P3 with an ETT dose of 10 mg/L. Tribulus terrestris extract has an effect on masculinization of guppies by immersing pregnant sows with the best treatment P3 at a dose of 15 mg/L. Then, the growth performance of guppy fish larvae was affected by the administration of Tribulus terrestris extract, but there was no difference in the dose.

Abstract

This research specifically observes the duration of valve opening and closure in three different size classes of juvenile mussels (Perna canaliculus) over a 60-minute period after exposure to the microalgae Isochrysis galbana. Current study would like to understand this behaviour as a precursor to using flow cytometry (FCM) to accurately measure the juvenile mussels' filtering capabilities under the FCM set up. There is still limited information on the use of experimental set up of flowcytometry on measuring the filtration of the juvenile mussels. Two factors used in the experimental set up; i.e. the size class of juvenile mussels, and the observation time (T1- T60). The results indicated that both mussel size and observation time significantly influence the proportion of time valves remain fully open, with juvenile mussels generally exhibiting different behaviour patterns (such as more crawling). Current study also measure the clearance of the microalgae, which shown the larger size class of mussels exhibit higher cells clearance compared to the smaller size of mussels. Ultimately, the study concludes that while valve observation indicates filtering, further refined methods are needed to ensure FCM accurately measures the actual particle removal capability. Keywords: Juvenile mussel, valve opening, valve closure, filtering behaviour, flow cytometry.

Abstract

This study used papaya leaf extract as an environment-friendly treatment for parasitic infections. This investment method is simple, rapid, and affordable. Papaya leaf extract of 100 ppt was produced by boiling for 15 min at 90°C. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and optimal concentration of papaya leaf extract (C. papaya) as a control against Argulus infestation in the comet fish (C. auratus). The study was conducted over 30 days. The research method used a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications, consisting of papaya leaf extract dosage (ml extract/water) in treatments A (0 ml/l), B (7 ml/l), C (14 ml/l), and D (21 ml/l). A per aquarium was introduced with 10 Argulus for 4 days to induce infection in fish. The treatment was applied by soaking for 60 min and observing for 7 days. The parameters observed were clinical symptoms, absolute weight, absolute length, survival rate, Argulus behavior, Argulus detachment, and water quality. Clinical symptoms in fish include excess mucus and lesions in certain parts of the body. Absolute length was 4.83±0.20 cm and absolute weight were 1.30±0.12 g. Argulus behavior with time of attachment was 2.55-9.35 minutes. The survival rate of comet fish in treatment A was 86.67%, whereas that of treatments B, C, and D was 100%. Argulus detachment rates were significantly different (P<0.05) among treatments A (0%), B (16.67%), C (33.33%), and D (70%). The results showed that the immersion of papaya leaf extract effectively released Argulus from comet fish, with the highest Argulus release obtained in treatment D (21 ml/l).
