Abstract

The appearance of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is related to the availability of food in certain waters and is a tourist attraction so integrated management is needed so that they do not become a threat to whale sharks. Whale sharks appear regularly and take place throughout the year with the largest number of individuals only occurring in Kwatisore waters. This study aims to examine the bioecology of whale sharks, which is related to appearance based on individuals, number and time of appearance and sex. Primary data collection was carried out from January to March 2023, using the census method on 4 charter fishing gear units anchored in Kwatisore waters. The results showed that 21 individuals of whale sharks appeared with a total of 225 appearances in January, 245 appearances in February and 248 appearances in March and there was one new individual who migrated into Kwatisore waters with ID number 184. Whale sharks appear mostly in the morning with a percentage of 100% with a total length ranging from 3 to 7.5 m.Keywords: Appearance; New Individuals; Whale Sharks

Abstract

Snakehead fish is a fish that has a high level of consumption and has many benefits in the health sector, but cultivation activities have not been carried out intensively because of the availability of snakehead fish which still utilizes catches from nature. In cultivation activities, the use of hormones is commonly used, one of which is used to support reproductive performance. One of them is the Oodev hormone, so this study aimed to determine the effect of Oodev with different doses on the final gonad maturation of snakehead fish. The research method used was a completely randomized design experiment with four treatments and three replications. The treatments were P0 (Oodev 0 mL/kg), P1 (Oodev 0.5 mL/kg), P2 (Oodev 1 mL/kg), P3 (Oodev 1.5 mL/kg). Oodev injections were carried out on TKG II fish at an interval of every 7 days. During maintenance, the fish were fed golden snails and small fish 2 times a day. The result of the research showed that Oodev is significant in the gonad maturation of common snakehead. The treatment P3 injection dose of 1.5 mL/kg with maturation gonad time for 16 days, ovi somatic index 4.26%, egg diameter increases of 0.113 mm, fertilization rate 91.43%, hatching rate 90.96. It was concluded that the Oodev injection had a significant effect on the gonad maturity of snakehead fish (P<0.05) in the P3 treatment (Oodev 1.5 mL/kg).Keywords: Channa striata; Dose; Gonad maturation; Hormone; Oodev

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of adding fermented raintree (Samanea saman) seed meal to the feed on the protein efficiency ratio and growth rate of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments with 3 replications. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA (analysis of variance) at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan's test. Treatment A: non-fermented raintree seed meal (control), Treatment B: raintree seed flour fermented with 4 mL/100g of yoghurt, Treatment C: raintree seed meal fermented with 6 mL/kg of yoghurt, Treatment D: raintree seed meal fermented with 8 mL/kg of yoghurt, and Treatment E: raintree seed meal fermented with 10 mL/kg of yoghurt. The main parameters observed were protein efficiency ratio and daily growth rate in length and weight. The study results indicated that the addition of fermented raintree seed meal in the feed showed a better protein efficiency ratio and daily growth rate in length and weight compared to the treatment without the addition of fermented raintree seed flour in the feed. The best protein efficiency ratio and daily growth rate in length and weight were obtained with the addition of 4 mL/kg of fermented raintree seed meal in the feed of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus).Keywords: Fermentation; Oreochromis niloticus; Protein efficienci ratio; Samanea saman; Yoghurt

Abstract

Eel is a species with high economic value, but its slow growth and low survival rate are problems that need to be addressed through the development of effective cultivation technology. This study aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin C dosage on the growth and survival of eels (Anguilla bicolor). This study was conducted at the UPR. Mina Mandiri, Beutong District, Nagan Raya Regency, during the period August to October 2023. The method used was a completely randomized design with four treatment levels and three replications, namely 0, 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg feed. ANOVA results showed that the dose of vitamin C had a significant effect on the growth and survival of eels (P < 0.05). Further tests using Duncan's method showed significant differences between treatments in growth parameters, but there was no significant difference in survival. The 200 mg/kg feed dose showed the highest and optimal results in terms of increasing the growth and survival of eel fish.Keywords: Culture technology; eel; growth; vitamin C

Abstract

Shellfish are rich in essential nutrients and are widely accepted globally. The bacterial contamination, antibiotic susceptibility and heavy metal concentrations on some shellfish muscles above the tolerance permissible limit by WHO/FAO require an in-depth study. An investigative study was carried out on tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis) and Lagoon crabs (Callinectes amnicola) obtained from Makoko fish market/landing site on their bacterial quality, antibiotic susceptibility patterns and heavy metal accumulation of bacteria isolated were carried out using standard methods. The highest Total bacterial count (2.48±0.02ï‚´107cfu/g) was observed in Lagoon crab (C. amnicola) while the lowest count (1.20±0.02ï‚´107cfu/g) was observed in tiger shrimp (P. monodon). However, the highest Total Faecal count (1.42±0.02ï‚´104cfu/g) was observed in pink shrimp (P. notialis) while the lowest count was observ ed in P. monodon (1.13±0.03ï‚´104cfu/g). The bacterial isolates were molecularly identified as (Morganella morganii and Proteus vulgaris) isolated from tiger shrimp, Lagoon crabs had (Proteus mirabilis) while pink shrimp showed (Alcaligenes faecalis). The isolates were 100% susceptible to ciprofloxacin, azithromycin and erythromycin and resistant to cefotaxime, cefuroxime, imipenem/clastatin, augmentin and nitrofurantoin. The mean heavy metals concentration was as follows zinc>iron>copper>nickel>chromium>manganese > Cadmium while Lead and cobalt were not detected in the samples. The study has shown a possible unhygienic environment indicative of the bacteria isolated, a possible environmental spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and a heavy metal-contaminated water body. There is a serious need for constant monitoring to lessen future health problems for humans in and around the environment.Keywords: antibiotic-resistant; contamination; Makoko

Abstract

The Bone River faces potential pollution due to human activities in the surrounding area. To ensure this, macrozoobenthic is used as a bioindicator, utilizing the characteristics of its constituent communities, which show sedentary behaviour, limited mobility, and sensitivity to water conditions. This research aims to examine the composition of the macrozoobenthic community which reflects the water quality of the Bone River. The research was conducted from May to August 2023 at three observation stations. Water quality evaluation used the Hilsenhoff Family Biotic Index (FBI) methodology. The findings revealed a collection of 1,040 individuals representing 43 macrozoobenthic genera, with Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, and Diptera widely distributed along the river. A dominance index of 0.2 indicates that there is not a single macrozoobenthic species that dominates, while an FBI value ranging from 3.71 to 5.47 indicates that there is pollution in the Bone River.Keywords: Bioindicator; Family Biotic Index; Macrozoobenthic; River; Water quality

Abstract

Heavy metal characteristics and ecological threat assessment in water and sediments of Eniong Creek, Nigeria was studied between August 2022 and January 2023 in 3 stations. Seven heavy metals were analyzed with standard methods and compared with quality Standard. Ecological threat was assessed in water using two metal pollution indices while six sediment quality assessment indices were used to access the sediment quality. Results showed that the mean concentrations of nickel, copper, cadmium and zinc in water sample exceeded the permissible limits set by National environmental (surface and groundwater) quality regulations for aquatic life, while copper and cadmium exceeded the permissible limits set by Canadian sediment standards quality for the protection of aquatic life in sediments in all the stations. The heavy metal pollution index (HPI) values exceeded the threshold (100) across the stations, ranging between 469.53 and 686.74 while comprehensive pollution index (CPI) ranged between 1.405 and 1.854, indicating moderate contaminated water. The sediment indices indicated that cadmium and copper were the major metallic pollutants. The indices indicated the following -contamination factor: copper (moderate) and cadmium (very high), degree of contamination (very high); ecological risk: cadmium and copper (high) while lead and zinc were moderate; potential ecological risk (high); quantification of contamination: cadmium and copper (anthropogenic); geo-accumulation index: cadmium (very highly polluted). The study revealed that the water body and sediments were polluted, attributed to anthropogenic activities.Keywords: Eniong Creek; Heavy Metals, Nigeria; Sediment; Water

Abstract

Coastal areas are essential for economic activities but are also vulnerable to environmental changes caused by human activities. Remote sensing technology can help monitor shoreline changes efficiently and accurately related to the spatial-temporal dynamics of the local area's coastline, which is needed to develop an effective coastal management strategy. By using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) water index method for shoreline extraction, the results show that the addition of coastal areas (accretion) as part of the dominant process for coastal equilibrium in almost all coastal regions in Gorontalo City during the 2000-2022 period, experienced trend acceleration significantly during the 2015-2022 period with an increase in the accretion rate of 60.15%. The accretion rate in this period has resulted in an increase in the land area of the coastal zone by 425.44% compared to the accretion that occurred during the 2000-2015 period. The findings of this study can be used as a basis for further research regarding the impact of human activities on coastal ecosystems and the effectiveness of coastal management strategies for Gorontalo City.Keywords: Google earth engine; coastal equilibrium; landsat; sentinel-2; MNDWI
