Abstract

The increasing number of tourist visits and activities of coastal communities affects the distribution of marine waste on the Pangandaran coast, resulting in waste generation that pollutes the coastal environment. This is due to a lack of awareness in disposing of waste in its proper place, a lack of cleaning facilities and a waste transport fleet by the Pangandaran district government. The aim of this research is to provide an evaluation regarding the distribution of marine waste and its management on Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari. Using Survey Method and Driving Force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response data analysis. The research location was carried out in three locations, namely on the Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari. The results of this research are that the distribution of marine debris on Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari is categorized as moderate. This causes pressure on coastal areas where there is waste generation at several research stations. The most common type of waste is plastic waste with a percentage of 45-54% on Pantai Timur, 36-55% on Pantai Barat and 43-51% on Pantai Madasari. The type of waste that is least found is rubber with a percentage of 2-3%. The actions taken by Pangandaran Village and the Pangandaran Regency Environment and Hygiene Service (DLHK) are waste management using a collect-transport-dispose system, community service to clean the beach with the community on Fridays, and the availability of several rubbish bins at every distance of 10 meters. Waste management on Pantai Madasari is managed by the village government, where this authority is handed over to Village-Owned Enterprises using a collect-transport-dispose system and burned directly at the temporary disposal site (TPS).Keywords: Coastal; DPSIR; plastic; pollution; waste distribution

Abstract

Indramayu Regency is located in estuarine waters, namely the North Coast of Java Island, the coast which is directly adjacent to the sea with a coastline length of 147 Km makes Indramayu Regency great potential in the field of fisheries. Mullet fish (Mugil cephalus) is a type of fish that has high economic value in the Estuarine Waters of Indramayu Regency. The purpose of the research is to measure reproductive aspects which include sex ratio, gonadal maturity level, gonadal maturity index, fecundity and egg diameter and food habits which include the largest share index and trophic level of black mullet (Mugil cephalus) caught by gill nets used by fishermen. Black mullet (Mugil cephalus) is one of several fish species that have high economic value in the Estuary Waters of Indramayu Regency. This research was conducted in January 2022 - April 2022. Fish samples were taken from the catch of fishermen using a gill net. The results showed that of the 123 mullet fish caught, the ratio of male and female mullet fish was unbalanced, namely 1: 1.8 or 44% for male mullet fish and 56% for female mullet fish. Male mullets are dominant in TKG I and TKG II while female mullets are dominant in TKG III and TKG IV. The fecundity of mullets is quite large at 11,882 - 265,108 grains, Mullet diameter ranges from 0.04 - 0.78 mm with a two-peak distribution mode indicating partial spawning. The preponderance index of mullets shows detritus and phytoplankton as the main feed, zooplankton as complementary feed, and additional feed in the form of animal parts and plant parts. The habit of eating mullets is known as omnivores because mullets eat detritus and phytoplankton as their main food.Keywords: Estuary; Food habits; Indramayu; Mugil chepalus; Reproduction

Abstract

One of the local fish (native species) that is popular with the public and has quite good market prospects in Aceh is the seurukan fish (Osteochilus sp.). Seurukan fish cultivation technology with a recirculation system needs to be developed so that its potential can be utilized optimally. This research aims to evaluate production performance and determine the optimal stocking density for rearing seurukan fish (Osteochilus sp.) in a recirculation system. This research was conducted by experimental method. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments of stocking density and each treatment was repeated four times. The treatments are P1 (5 fish/m2), P2 (10 fish/m2), and P3 (15 fish/m2). The rearing period for Seurukan fish lasts for 50 days. The parameters tested during the research included biological parameters consisting of survival, absolute growth rate, feed conversion ratio, weight diversity coefficient, and water quality parameters including temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen. The results showed that the seurukan fish reared at different stocking densities using a recirculation system had a significant effect on the absolute growth rate and the coefficient of variation in weight. The best treatment in this study was 5 fish/m2, with a survival rate of 100%, an absolute growth rate of 0.04 g/head/day, a feed conversion ratio of 1.63, and a coefficient of variation of weight of 17.99%.Key words: production performance; seurukan fish; recirculation system; stocking density

Abstract

Wolffia arrhiza has a growth rate and biomass as well as a good nutritional content for the growth of cultivated fish, especially herbivorous fish. Due to the high protein content (up to 45% of the dry weight), Wolffia is an excellent plant for the production of various biologically active substances, especially proteins. These plants can double every 1-6 days, similar to algae or mushrooms, and the number of leaves doubles every 2-3 days. This study aims to determine the effect of different fertilizer sources on doubling time, relative growth rate, population density and biomass of Wolffia arrhiza and water quality. The method used in this research is experimental. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were as follows: treatment A: chicken manure, B: cow manure, C: buffalo manure and D: goat manure with each dose of 200 grams. Parameters observed included doubling time, relative growth rate, population density, biomass and water quality parameters. The results showed that treatment B (cow manure) gave the highest value for doubling time, 1.59 days, relative growth rate 0.392 g/day, population density 209.75 ind/cm2, biomass 94.97.
