Abstract

The development of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation still faces many problems. One of them is the availability of seeds whose growth is slow and variable, as well as high mortality after being stocked in ponds. This study aimed to examine the post-larval metabolic rate of tiger prawns in terms of oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion at different salinities. The research was carried out November - December 2023 in the Takalar Intensive Pond Unit, after which vannamei shrimp larvae with a density of 100 individuals/l were reared for acclimation for two weeks in tanks containing media water with a salinity of 10, 20 and 30 ppt. At the end of the acclimation period for the test shrimp, a respirometer was prepared to measure oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion. The results of the research showed that the average value of oxygen consumption after vannamei shrimp larvae occurred at a salinity of 10 ppt, then followed respectively at a salinity of 30 and 20 ppt. The results of the analysis of variance showed that salinity had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on oxygen consumption after vannamei shrimp larvae, but in the LSD follow-up test it appeared that only the 10 ppt treatment was very significantly different (P<0.01) and the same results occurred. on ammonia excretion, although the test of variance (LSD) had no significant effect. The survival rate and post-larval growth of vanamei shrimp reached the highest average value at a salinity of 20 ppt with very significantly different variance results. Based on the measurement results above, the optimum metabolic rate after vannamei shrimp larvae occurs at a salinity of 20 ppt (isotonic conditions occur between the shrimp's body fluids and the medium).Keywords: Ammonia Excretion; Metabolism Rate, Oxygen Consumption; Vanname Shrimp

Abstract

Grey mackerel is a fish that originates from tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. This pelagic fish has very important economic value in the Indonesian fishing industry. Grey mackerel production in WPP 711 using gillnet fishing gear has shown a fluctuating trend in recent years. This research is to estimate the stock of grey mackerel fish caught by fishermen who landed at PPN Pemangkat and Sungai Rengas Fishing Port. This research uses two data collection methods, namely primary and secondary data collection. The results of data analysis of the relationship between length and weight in the catch of grey tuna fish of 1,015 total fish samples produced the equation W = 0.0929x2.5504 (r2 = 0.8764) with a value of 0.0929 and the b value of 2,5504. Based on the results of the t-test, it shows that the value of b < 3 in the growth pattern is negative allometric, meaning that the relationship between length and weight has a slow and rapid increase in weight compared to the increase in length. The landed grey mackerel had a growth rate coefficient (K) = 0.40. Tuna fish obtained a total mortality value (Z) of 1.81/ year. The exploitation rate (E) of grey tuna caught is 0.28/ year, which means the exploitation rate is still relatively low.Keywords: Gray mackerel; Pelagic Fish; Population dynamics; WPP 711Grey mackerel is a fish that originates from tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.

Abstract

Cockroaches, houseflies and green locusts are three types of insects that are available around us, and even their presence tends to be a carrier of disease (host) and pests in agriculture. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to conduct an initial study of the potential bioactive compounds contained in the three types of insects, especially steroid and protein content as candidates for ˜ecdysteroids for crab moulting stimulants, as well as their social and economic potential. This research is qualitative with the following stages: i) insect collection using traps, ii) insect extraction, iii) chemical compound testing of insect extracts, and iv) proximate testing. The results showed that the insect animals tested were cockroaches, flies, and adult grasshoppers, and they were positive for steroid compounds tested using the Liebermann-Burchard method. From the results of the proximate test, the three insect animals have crude protein (%) 32.5 for cockroaches, 33.5 for flies, and 30.5 for grasshoppers. From a social perspective, utilising these animals will reduce disease-carrying hosts in the community. Economically, it will impact the emergence of a business chain in the supplier segment.Keywords: Aquaculture; Insects; Moulting; Protein; Steroid

Abstract

Red dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) are an organic waste that has not been widely used with nutrients such as fibre, carotene, calcium phosphorus, vitamin B and vitamin C as antibacterial and antioxidant. This research was conducted to analyze the addition of red dragon fruit peel flour as a prebiotic for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fingerling of tilapia with an average size of 17.76 ± 1.35 g were reared for 30 days in an aquarium with a volume of 30 L. The fish were fed three times a day at satiation with treated feed, namely P0 0%; P1 5%; P2 10%; and P3 15% dragon peel flour kg-1 of feed. Each treatment was repeated three times. Parameters observed included the number of lactic acid bacteria in the gut of fish, growth performance, survival rate and haematological parameters. The results showed that the highest number of lactic acid bacteria at P3 was 5.38 log CFU mL-1, the absolute weight growth was 12.60 g, and the specific growth rate was 1.87% day-1. Supplementation of red dragon fruit peel flour did not affect the survival rate of tilapia, which ranged from 73.33- 80.00% and the haematological parameters showed a normal range. Based on this, red dragon fruit peel flour has the potential as a prebiotic in tilapia up to a dose of 15% kg-1 of feed.Keywords: Dragon Fruit Peels Flour; Growth Performance; Hematological Parameters; Prebiotics; Tilapia

Abstract

Seaweed has potential as a commodity for small and medium-scale businesses, but its quality is low due to conventional drying which experiences contamination and dries slowly. This research aims to produce a prototype IoT-based seaweed dryer to improve the quality of seaweed. The stages of this research are designing a prototype drying device, drying seaweed tests, and proximate analysis of seaweed. This research resulted in a 300W prototype using IoT components, including a solid state relay, Arduino Uno R3, potentiometer, thermocouple, 12C LCD, and SIM 800L V2 GSM GPRS module, with temperature control via an Android application. Optimal drying occurs at 60 oC, producing dried seaweed weighing 470.90 g from 1000 g. Water content decreases as temperature increases to 60 oC (18.85%), 50 oC (23.11%), 40 oC (32.30%), and conventional (34.50%). The highest protein, fat and carbohydrate content was at 60 oC, indicating drying efficiency at that temperature. Based on these results, it was concluded that using a dryer with a temperature of 60 oC was the best and most efficient.Keywords: Dryer; IoT; production; proximate; seaweed
