Abstract

Batak fish (Neolissochilus thienemanni) is a type of fish endemic to North Sumatra which is categorized as endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Natural) (IUCN, 2017). This fish is a type of fish that has quite high economic value but its growth rate is relatively slow. One way to stimulate the growth of this fish is to increase the nutrition of the feed by using viterna supplements. Viterna is a supplement derived from various natural ingredients which is useful for increasing the nutritional content of feed, increasing appetite, increasing endurance, stimulating digestive enzymes and accelerating fish growth. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of adding viterna supplements to feed on the specific growth rate (SGR) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of Batak fish fry. This research was conducted from July to August 2022 at the P2MKP Ampibi Padang Lancat Center, South Tapanuli Regency. Viterna supplements are given with 4 different treatments, namely P0 (Control), P1 (10 ml/kg), P2 (15 ml/kg), P3 (20 ml/kg). Fish were fed ad-satiation with a frequency of 3 times/day. The research was carried out for 50 days with sample data taken every 10 days. The results of the research showed that the highest specific growth rate of Batak fish seeds was in the P3 treatment at 0.65%. The lowest feed conversion yield (FCR) of Batak fish seeds obtained during the research was in the P3 treatment at 2.33.Keywords: Batak Fish, FCR; SGR; Viterna.

Abstract

Cengklik Reservoir is a reservoir that has many benefits for the surrounding community such as irrigation and aquaculture, namely Floating Net Cages. FNC in these waters can have an impact on the remaining feed produced in cultivation. The rest of the feed can cause increased nutrient concentrations and eutrophication in the waters. These impacts can affect water quality conditions, phytoplankton abundance and primary productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the primary productivity, abundance of phytoplankton, nitrate (NO3) and orthophosphate (PO4) in Cengklik Reservoir, Boyolali. The study was conducted in March 2023. The sampling point determination method uses Stratified Random Sampling with four stations in two repeats. Data processing using simple and multiple linear regression analysis with Jamovi application. The results obtained gross primary productivity value is 62.50 - 156.25 mgC/m3/hour while net primary productivity is 31.25 - 93.75 mgC/m3/hour. The abundance of phytoplankton results the most in the Cyanophyceae class with a percentage of 50.72% - 65.06%. The relationship between phytoplankton abundance and gross primary productivity is obtained R2 = 0.142 while net primary productivity R2 = 0.608 which means that the relationship of phytoplankton abundance affects the production of net primary productivity in waters. The relationship between nitrate and phosphate analysis with phytoplankton abundance in waters R2 = 0.311 which means that nitrate and orthophosphate have a low influence on phytoplankton abundance. The abundance of phytoplankton in waters can be influenced by other factors.Keywords: Cyanophyceae; Nitrate; Orthofosfat; Phytoplankton

Abstract

The Banggai cardinalfish is an endemic fish in Banggai waters which is experiencing a population decline caused by excessive exploitation and degradation of its microhabitat. This research aims to determine the population of the Banggai cardinalfish and its microhabitat in Bilalang Bay. The research was conducted from January to February 2023 in Bilalang Bay, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. Research data collection used the Underwater Visual Survey (UVS) method using a 20mx5m belt transect (2.5m left and right of the transect rope) at five observation stations. Observations made included recruits (<25 mm) Total Length, juveniles (25-60 mm), and adults (>60 mm). The results of observations of the population and density of the Banggai cardinalfish differ based on five observation stations. The highest population of the Banggai cardinalfish is found at location II with a total population of 4,412 fish, consisting of 2,510 adult size fish, 1,800 juvenile size fish, and 102 recruit size fish, with a density of adults 21.1 ind/m2, juvenile density 8 ind/m2, and recruit density 0.5 ind/m2. Meanwhile, the highest population based on size is adult size. The recruitment stage of the Banggai cardinalfish is only found in stations 1, 2, and 3, with microhabitats of sea urchins and anemones. The Banggai cardinal fish has the highest population at station 2.Keywords: Endemic; Banggai cardinalfish; Microhabitat; Population; Bilalang Bay

Abstract

Obtaining good quality and quantity of fish seeds for increasing fish production is a major quest by fish farmers. This study examined the growth responses and survival of Clarias gariepinus and two species of heterobranchus. One thousand five hundred (1500) fry (28-day after hatched) were randomly selected from each of the three crosses of Clarias gariepinus (T1), C. gariepinus x Heterobranchus longifilis (T2) and C. gariepinus x Heterobranchus bidorsalis (T3) broodstocks. They were stocked separately in triplicate at a stocking rate of 500 fish per replicate and reared for 90 days. The data were analysed for significant differences (P<0.05) by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). There was no significant difference in the growth parameters but fish in T3 had the highest value of mean weight gain while T1 had the least. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in the body weight gains from day 40 to day 90 except at day 70 where T3 had the highest weight gain (18.97 g) which was significantly different (p<0.05) to the value recorded in T1 (18.20 g) but not significantly different (p>0.05) to the value recorded in T3 (18.97 g). The results of length increment showed that the growth pattern from day 0 to day 80 were similar. A little difference was observed at day 90 with T3 >T2>T1. The fish in T1 (Clarias gariepinus) had the highest significant percentage survival (89.60%). The results of water quality parameters showed that the mean temperature was 28oC, pH 6.8, dissolved oxygen 5.6 mg/l and turbidity 5.45 NYU. The culture of C. gariepinus by farmers will improve their output and consequentially increase in profit.Keywords: aquaculture; fish breeding; hybrids; weight gain

Abstract

Crab is one of the coastal fisheries resources that has high economic value and has been intensively utilized. This study aims to analyze the size of the carapace width and weight of the S. serrata crab. The research was conducted using the survey method, through measurement at the crab landing and marketing site. The results showed that the carapace width of male mud crabs ranged from 59.1-149.3 mm (87.35 ± 12.36 mm), with weights ranging from 30.0-560 g (121.68 ± 46.11 g). Female mud crabs had carapace widths ranging from 64.0-172 mm (88.16 ± 14.24 mm), with weights ranging from 40.0-790 g (128.14 ± 64.20 g). The growth pattern of male and female mud crabs is negative allometric, with carapace width increasing faster than crab weight. Crabs that meet the size that can be caught based on carapace width are 13 crabs (2.32%) and based on weight are 118 crabs (21.03%). The crabs caught predominantly did not meet the catchable size.Keywords: Carapace Width; Catchable Size; Growth Pattern of Scylla serrata; Weight
