Abstract

Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is a fishery commodity that has important economic value. One of the catch landings in Teluk Awur, Jepara is blue swimming crab. Intensive crab catching carried out with small sizes has an effect on decreasing crab stocks in the waters. This study aims to determine the size distribution, the relationship between carapace width and weight, growth parameters and recruitment patterns. The research was conducted in May, June, July and August 2022 in the waters of Teluk Awur, Jepara. Sampling using systematic sampling method. The data collected is carapace width (mm) and crab weight (grams). Data analysis was performed using FiSAT II software. The results of the analysis of the relationship between carapace width and weight showed that the growth of the male crab was positive allometric and the growth of the female crab was isometric, with the equation of the male crab W = 0.0000214cW3.251 and the female crab W = 0.0000232cW3.220. The growth parameters obtained by the equation of the male and female crabs were cWt = 158,55(1- e(-1,2(t+0,083))], and cWt = 158.55(1 - e(-0.67(t+0.152) ))). The peak of male crab recruitment was in October at 22,71%, while the female crab was in May at 13,52%, indicating that in that month new crab individuals were added. Based on these results, the stock of crab resources in Jepara's Awur Bay must always be considered and always support the recruitment process of crab. Beside that, the goverment can enforce management of crab fishing.Keywords: Allometric; Carapace Width; Crab; Recruitment

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess fishermen's perspectives on the massive fish kill incident in coastal waters in Rivers State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected using questionnaires from 101 randomly selected fishermen and the data were evaluated using descriptive statistics. The results showed that fishing was the main occupation of the respondents and the interviewed fishermen have fishing experience in the region studied and knowledge of their fishery. The results showed that 53.3 percent of fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to pollution, while 19.8 percent cited infection and disease as the cause of the fish kills. The majority of respondents (94%) reported that croaker fish species were particularly affected in the study area. Other observations include fish swimming on the surface or jumping onto shore and affected fish washing up on shore. The unusual appearances of the dead fish commonly reported by respondents were as follows: fin rot, open mouth, disease spots and deep blue gills. About half of the respondents (50.5%) gave a range of 1,000 - 5000 dead fish and a size class of the dead fish of more than 30 cm. Most respondents (79.2%) indicated that the government has not taken any action. Few of those surveyed reported government action on sea clean-up exercises to remove dead fish and end oil spillage and bunkering as measures put in place by the government. The study recommended partnerships between the government and fishermen and fishermen's groups as stakeholders are required to address the concerns about marine waters.Keyword: Coastal waters; Fishers; Mass fish mortality; Nigeria

Abstract

The study assessed the antibiotics sensitivity of bacterial isolates from fish hatcheries. The result revealed that bacteria of public health importance were isolated, however, the TVC did not exceed 105 CFU/g. A total of 16 isolates were detected. Thirteen (13) antibiotics recorded over 50% resistance, with the highest resistance (100%) observed in amoxicillin clavulanate (AUG). Ofloxime (OFX), gentamycin(GN) and levofloxacin (LBC) recorded the lowest resistance of 18.75%, 37.5% and 43.75% respectively. Only these antibiotics with least recorded resistance had susceptibility ranging between 50% (LBC) and 68.75% (OFX). The overall average resistance of the isolates to antibiotics was 68.75%; susceptibility 26.67% and intermediate 4.58%. Isolates 15 showed the highest resistance of 100%, followed by isolates 12 and 10 with 93.33% and 93.33% resistance, respectively. Resistance range of 60% to 86.67% was observed in isolates 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 16 and 17. Isolates 3, 8 and 11 had resistance below 50% ranging between 26.67% and 46.67%. The highest multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) was observed in isolate 15 with MARI of 1. Isolates 10 and 12 had MARI of 0.93. This was followed in descending order by isolates 2 and 9 (0.86), isolate 5 (0.8), isolate 14 (0.73), isolates 6 and 7 (0.67) and isolates 4, 13, 16 and 17 (0.6). The least MARI recorded were observed in isolates 3 and 11 (0.47) and isolate 8 (0.27), respectively. The emergence of antibiotic resistance on fish farms in Ijebu-Ode region calls for public health intervention strategies.Keywords: antibiotic; fish health; isolates; resistance.

Abstract

Performance of Eel (Anguilla bicolor) maintened in containers of different colors. Growth is the main driver in increasing the profitability of aquaculture. In addition to maintenance management the color of the container is also a factor supporting the growth of eels. This study aims to determine the effect of the color of different rearing containers on the growth and appetite response of eel. The test fish used were elver stage eels with an average weight (129 ±131g). The method used is an experiment with two treatments they are grey and green. The test fish were placed in a container measuring 19x4 m2 and a water level of 1m with a stocking density of 1100 individuals each, 30 days of rearing. The variables observed were growth performance including SR (Survival Rate), ADG (Average Daily Growth), FCR (Food Conversion Ratio), SGR (Specific Growth Rate). The results obtained indicated that there was a significant difference in the average growth of fish reared in grey and green containers. Grey container treatment was proven to get higher yields with average final weight values (192.4 ± 4.5 g), FCR (1.01 ± 0.02), ADG (2.01g/day ± 0.06), SGR (1 .25%BW/day±0.02). Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the growth of eels reared in ash and green containers. The color of the ash container proved to be better in supporting growth performance.Keywords: Elver; Green; Grey; Nocturnal

Abstract

Indonesia is a maritime country that has seaweed natural resources that have the potential to be developed. Several types of seaweed have started to be cultivated by manipulating the cultivation environment such as providing various types of fertilizers to complement nutrient needs. This research was carried out at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Aquaculture Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Malikussaleh University in February -March 2020 which aims to determine the growth rate of Caulerpa racemosa by applying liquid organic fertilizer with different concentrations in the cultivation media. The design used was a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications, namely A Control (without giving liquid organic fertilizer), B (giving liquid organic fertilizer with a concentration of 0.22 mL fertilizer/L water), C (giving organic fertilizer). liquid concentration of 0.28 mL of fertilizer/L of water) and D (giving of liquid organic fertilizer with a concentration of 0.34 mL of fertilizer/L of water). The results showed that the application of liquid organic fertilizer had a very significant effect on the length growth rate of seaweed (Caulerpa racemosa). The best growth rate was in treatment D with a length growth rate of 9.2 cm. There was no significant difference between the weight growth rate and the regeneration rate of the thallus. However, based on the growth yield data for all treatments, it can be said that the higher the concentration of liquid fertilizer used, the better the growth of seaweed (Caulerpa racemosa).Keywords: Caulerpa rasemosa; Pertumbuhan; Pupuk cair; Rumput Laut.
