Abstract

The nutritional and microbial safety of fish feeds were investigated in this study. Commercially available fish feed brands (Eco-float, Skretting, Top-Feeds, Blue Crown) were procured from sales outlets in Ogun State, Nigeria. Moisture ranged from 8.15 to 8.82 and these values were not significantly different (p>0.05) except for Topfeed. Skretting had the highest crude protein value (48.49±0.03) while Ecofloat recorded the least value of 45.30±0.06 (p<0.05). The values obtained for crude fibre, crude fat, ash and carbohydrate were significantly different (p<0.05) across the sampled feeds. Crude fibre ranged from 4.31±0.04 in Ecofloat to 3.20±0.03 in Skretting. Skretting had the highest value recorded for crude fat (6.27±0.11) and ash (10.06±0.18) while Ecofloat had the least value of 1.29±0.00 and 8.01±0.17 respectively. Ecofloat had the highest value for carbohydrate (32.95±0.07), marginally followed by Topfeed (28.79±0.13) and Bluecrown (28.65±0.06) with Skretting recording the lowest value (23.55±0.38). The values for all the minerals analyzed were significantly different (p<0.05). Calcium had the highest values across the sampled feeds, followed by sodium while potassium recorded the lowest values. Tannin recorded the highest value amongst all the phytochemicals, followed by flavonoids and the least value was recorded for glycosides. Total aerobic count, total coliform count and total fungal count ranged from 1.61±0.01 to 3.53±0.0, 0.00±0.00 to 3.10±0.01 and 0.00±0.00 to 2.34±0.05 respectively. Isolated bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, S. saprophyticus, Klebsiella spp, Bacillus spp and Escherichia coli. Fungi identified were Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus spp, Aspergillus flavus, Geotrichum spp and Saccharomyces spp. Hence, there is need for quality monitoring.Keywords: aquafeed safety, microbial risk, Nigeria

Abstract

LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) surfactants are the main cleaning agents from the anionic group found in detergents that are widely used in Indonesia. LAS decomposes in surface water for 1-2 days, in sediments it decomposes for 1-3 days, in marine and estuarine systems it decomposes for 5-10 days. LAS is generally degraded by as much as 90% within 3 months, with a time ranging from 5-30 days (World Health Organization, 1996). LAS surfactants can cause damage to the gill epithelium and blockage of branchiola channels in fish. This study aims to determine the toxic effect of LAS surfactant on the survival of white snapper (Lates calcarifer) fry and to determine the toxicity value of LC50 (Lethal Concentration) of LAS surfactant to white snapper (Lates calcarifer) fry on a laboratory scale. This research was carried out on September 21 - October 04, 2021 at the Marine Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Malikussaleh University using laboratory experimental methods with 5 treatments, namely: control treatment A (0 ppm), B (0.83 ppm), C (1.58 ppm). ), D (2.16 ppm), and E (2.91 ppm). The results of this study cause barramundi to experience irregular movements, mouth opening and operculum tend to be fast and irregular, scales are pale and peeling, and cause death, LAS surfactants affect water quality such as pH and dissolved oxygen, but have no effect on salinity and temperature. The 24-hour LC50 value is 1.95 ppm, the 48-hour LC50 value is 1.86 ppm, the 72-hour LC50 value is 1.70 ppm, and the 96-hour LC50 value is 1.58 ppm.Key words: LAS surfactant; LC50; toxicity; white snapper

Abstract

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a type of freshwater fish that is widely cultivated by Indonesians. The problem that often arises in cultivation is lack of water quality. One of the ways to improve water quality is by using aquaponics technology, which can help to overcome lack of water quality by using a combination of different sub-extracts. This study was aim to determine the effect of different substrate combinations on water quality, growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and lettuce vegetables. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. That was control, rockwool and sawdust, rockwool and charcoal, rockwool and husk charcoal. The results showed that the use of different substrate combinations had no significant effect on water quality and fish growth. The best water quality was found in treatment D (rockwool and husk charcoal) with ammonia content of 0.09 mg / L, nitrate 13.45 mg / L, temperature 28.84 0c, pH 7.29 and DO 5.75 mg / L.Keywords: aquaponic system; substrate; tilapia; water quality.

Abstract

Osteochilus spilurus is one of native fish in Indonesia. This species from North Lampung has variations in body shape with populations in Bangka and Belitung. Morphological plasticity and genetic variation are potential causes of these differences. To confirm this, it is necessary to identify molecular using the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene. Fish samples from North Lampung had morphological characters matched to the description of O. spilurus. This research specimen was registered at the Bogor Zoological Museum as a supplementary note from Lampung. The phylogenetic construction shows a closer relationship between fish samples from North Lampung and O. spilurus from Bangka-Belitung, but there is a wide genetic distance between them. Genetic variation between islands that occur is predicted due to differences in ancient river flows in the past and the geographical isolation of the oceans for thousands of years.Keywords: Cytochrome b; Lampung; Osteochilus spilurus; Genetic Variation
