Abstract

The production efficiency of striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is very dependent on the quality of feed, which can increase the fish’s growth rate and health condition. Thus, the aimed of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of Oregano Essential Oil (OEO) contained with thymol and carvacrol, at the concentration level of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4% OEO, which is applied using top-dressing method and included in feed formulation on the growth rate, body composition, digestive health and resistance of striped catfish P. hypophthalmus against the pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila. The results of growth trials using top-dressing method for 122 days using formulated feed method for 70 days showed that the application of OEO yielded better growth than the control, with 0.2% OEO providing better growth performance than 0.1 and 0.4% OEO. The body composition analysis results also showed a better level of nutrient absorption in fish fed the OEO-based diet compared to the control. For the number of bacteria in the digestive tract, OEO supplementation can also significantly reduce the number of bacteria compared to fish-fed control feed. The challenge test results after the fish were given treatment feed for 24 days showed that the application of 0.1% OEO provided better protection against Aeromonas hydrophila. However, there was no significant difference with 0.2% OEO. The application of 0.2% OEO can be recommended to increase the efficiency and productivity of catfish cultivation.

Abstract

Tawes fish (Barbonymus gonionotus), also known as lampan, is an indigenous freshwater species with significant economic value and cultivation potential. However, suboptimal growth remains a common challenge in aquaculture. Hormonal treatments such as thyroxine and rGH are known to enhance metabolic processes, potentially improving egg yolk absorption and larval growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thyroxine and rGH hormone immersion on the rate of egg yolk absorption and development of newly hatched tawes fish larvae. The experimental design employed a CRD with four treatments and three replications: A (thyroxine 0 mg/L + rGH 2.5 mg/L), B (thyroxine 0.1 mg/L + rGH 0 mg/L), C (thyroxine 0 mg/L + rGH 2.5 mg/L), and D (thyroxine 0.1 mg/L + rGH 2.5 mg/L), with hormone immersion conducted for 60 minutes. The results demonstrated that the combined immersion of thyroxine and rGH significantly (P <0.05) improved the absolute weight gain, absolute length increment, and survival rate of tawes fish larvae. The highest values for absolute weight (0.043±0.002 g) and length (12.77±0.15 mm) were observed in treatment D (thyroxine 0.1 mg/L + rGH 2.5 mg/L), while the best survival rate (70.00±2.00%) was recorded in treatment A (thyroxine 0 mg/L + rGH 2.5 mg/L). These findings suggest that the combined use of thyroxine and rGH can effectively enhance the early growth and development of tawes fish larvae.

Abstract

Whiteleg shrimp Penaeus vannamei cultured in marine floating net-cage systems are highly susceptible to stress and diseases caused by Vibrio harveyi. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric Curcuma longa and kalmegh Andrographis paniculata on the growth performance and immune system of whiteleg shrimp against V. harveyi infection. The study utilized a completely randomized design with treatments including control (C), one week (1W), two weeks (2W), and four weeks (4W) of supplementation. The challenge test consisted of C+, C-, 1W, 2W, and 4W treatments. Parameters observed included growth performance, immune response, and resistance to V. harveyi. Results showed that the combination of turmeric and kalmegh significantly improved final biomass, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio compared to the control. Survival rates after challenge tests revealed the highest survival in the C- group (93.33 ± 5.77%), followed by treatment 4W (86.67 ± 11.55%), 2W (76.67 ± 20.82%), 1W (46.67 ± 35.12%), and the lowest in C+ (33.33 ± 26.46%) with significant differences (P < 0.05) across treatments. Immune responses, including total hemocytes, phagocytosis activity, phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst, were also significantly improved in the treatment groups compared to the positive control. In conclusion, the combination of turmeric and kalmegh (2:1 ratio, 6 mL/kg of diet) significantly enhances both growth and immune responses of whiteleg shrimp, offering a potential alternative to antibiotics for controlling vibriosis in shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract

Salt and herbal supplementations in fish feed are expected to promote aquaculture productivity, including for slow-growing fish such as Bonylip barb (Osteochilus vittatus). The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performance and occurrence of Aeromonas spp. in the intestine of Bonylip barb fed a diet supplemented with salt and herbs. This experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four treatments: 1) control, 2) salt 3% supplementation, 3) herbal supplementation, and 4) Salt 3% and herbal supplementation. Growth performance evaluation included weight gain, relative growth rate, and specific growth rate after 30 and 60 days of rearing.  Bacterial samples were isolated on trypticase soy agar (TSA) and glutamate starch phenol red agar (GSP) media. Yellow colonies on GSP were counted and confirmed as Aeromonas spp. via molecular identification based on 16S rDNA sequence. Results showed that herbal supplementation, either alone or in combination with 3% salt, insignificantly increased the fish growth performance in the short-term (30 days), but tended to decrease it over the long-term (60 days). Salt supplementation consistently decreased fish growth performance but improved fish survival rates. Aeromonas isolates comprised more than 60 % of the culturable intestinal bacteria in all treatments. Furthermore, herbal supplementation appeared to increase the percentage of Aeromonas spp. in the intestine, with identified species including Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas caviae, and Aeromonas jandaei.

Abstract

Mahseer (Tor spp.) is a freshwater fish commodity with a high market value. However, its slow growth to reach consumable size has resulted in inadequate production. The aim of this study is to analyze the hybrid vigor - that are heterosis, heterobeltiosis, and growth performance - of a crossbred population of Mahseer (Tor spp) resulting from interspecies breeding. Broodstock of Mahseer from three different species were prepared for reciprocal breeding, producing nine offspring populations consisting of six hybrid offspring and three purebred offspring populations. The breeding process was carried out using artificial breeding methods, employing intramuscularly injected breeding stimulant hormones. Results show that the hybrid population of Tor soro and Tor tambroides exhibits better heterosis and heterobeltiosis in final weight, specific growth rate, and survival rate. The crossbreeding of Tor soro and Tor tambroides also exhibited better growth performance compared to other crossbred population in terms of final weight growth, specific growth rate, and survival rates, which were 64.20 g, 1.42%/day,  and 100% respectively.

Abstract

Indonesia is a leading global producer of seaweed, with kotoni seaweed highly valued for its high-quality carrageenan, an essential ingredient in various industries. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, carrageenan quality, and genetic diversity of kotoni seaweed cultivated at three distinct sites in eastern Indonesia: Banggai, West Halmahera, and Biak. The research involved cultivating kotoni seaweed over a 45-day period using the long-line technique, with growth monitoring conducted every five days and water quality parameters measured concurrently. Additionally, ex situ analyses of nitrate, phosphate, and ammonia were performed every 15 days. Carrageenan quality was assessed by measuring carrageenan content, gel strength, and viscosity, in addition to proximate composition analysis. Genetic diversity was evaluated using the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene, involving DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing to determine genetic similarity across the cultivation sites. Significant differences in growth rates and carrageenan quality were observed across the three sites. West Halmahera exhibited the highest growth rate, making it the most favorable site for large-scale seaweed cultivation. Although Biak had a lower growth rate, it produced carrageenan with superior gel strength and viscosity, indicating higher product quality. Genetic analysis confirmed 100% similarity among the samples across sites. These findings underscore the importance of site-specific cultivation practices to optimize both yield and carrageenan quality, supporting the sustainability and economic viability of kotoni seaweed cultivation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Diatoms are valuable as natural feed in aquaculture due to their lipid content and the presence of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While traditional suspended cultivation has limitations, attached cultivation offers advantages such as lower water use and improved lipid productivity. This study evaluated the growth, biomass, and lipid content of Thalassiosira sp. grown on polycarbonate (PC) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as attachment substrates. The control group was cultured in standard suspended cultivation method.  Test attachments substrates were submerged in sterile seawater enriched with F-medium, and growth was monitored for four days.  At day 4 of the culture, cell density was significantly higher on PC (13.08 × 105 cells mL-1) and PVC (13.01 × 105 cells mL-1) compared to the control (7.93 × 105 cells mL-1). The specific growth rate was also significantly higher on both substrates, exhibiting a doubling time of 0.20 days. Biomass accumulation was highest on PC (27.47 mg 100 mL-1), followed by PVC (26.87 mg 100 mL-1), representing increases of 38.39% and 35.37% over the control (19.85 mg 100 mL-1), respectively. Lipid content was higher in the attached culture system, reaching 8.50% on PC and 7.45% on PVC, corresponding to increases of 167.30% and 134.28% over the control (3.18%). These findings highlight the potential of PC and PVC as effective substrates for biofilm-based cultivation of Thalassiosira sp., demonstrating superior growth, biomass yield, and lipid accumulation compared to the suspended culture method.

Abstract

The sustainability of Nile tilapia production faces challenges from motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS), caused by Aeromonas hydrophila. The use of antibiotics to control MAS has negative impacts on aquatic environments and consumer health. As alternatives, plant-based treatments and vaccination have been increasingly applied to replace antibiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of banana pseudo-stem (BS), a commercial vaccine (CV), and their combination (BS+CV) on the growth, health status, and immune performance of Nile tilapia against A. hydrophila. A completely randomized design was used with five treatments: a negative control (C−), a positive control (C+), BS, CV, and BS+CV—each coated onto feed. Each treatment had three replications. Fish were reared in 36-L aquaria for 42 days to evaluate growth performance, followed by a challenge test with A. hydrophila on day 43. Survival was monitored for 14 days post-challenge. The highest growth performance was observed in the BS treatment compared to the other treatments. Meanwhile, survival rate (SR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) did not show significant differences (P>0.05) among treatments. After the challenge, survival rates in the BS (96.67%), CV (73.33%), and BS+CV (76.67%) groups were significantly higher (P<0.05) than in the positive control group (50.00%). The BS group did not differ significantly (P>0.05) from the negative control group (100.00%). These findings indicate that BS, CV, and BS+CV enhance the immune response of Nile tilapia against A. hydrophila, with BS being the most effective in improving both growth and disease resistance.

Abstract

The growth and survival of Penaeus monodon and other commercial species and the production performance of Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system were evaluated in a 500 m2 experimental grow-out ponds of Mindanao State University at Naawan for 120 days. Three triplicated treatments, monoculture (P. monodon only), polyculture (P. monodon and Chanos chanos) and IMTA (P. monodon, C. chanos, Perna viridis and Gracilaria verrucosa) were evaluated in a semi-intensive pond culture operation. Salinity (24.3 to 34.36‰), temperature (28 to 40.64°C) and pH (7.5 to 9.49) exceeded the maximum ideal limit for the cultured organisms in all treatments. Dissolved oxygen levels (2.76-5.43) were within the optimal range of some cultured organisms. Growth of shrimp (5.33±0.02 %SGR P <0.05) and milkfish (4.49±0.03 %SGR P <0.05) were significantly better in IMTA than in polyculture. Shrimp’s survival was also significantly higher in IMTA (24.13%±3.95, P <0.05) than in the other treatments. Shrimp-milkfish biomass was highest in IMTA (89.67 kg), followed by polyculture (57.72 kg) and lowest in monoculture (11.33 kg). The higher biomass and survival of shrimp and milkfish in IMTA ponds could be attributed to the cultured organisms' synergistic interaction, such as shading and nutrient remediation by G. verrucosa and bioremediation by P. viridis. Revenue and profit followed a similar trend, with IMTA revealing profitability over the polyculture and monoculture. Hence, the results demonstrate the efficiency of the IMTA systems over monoculture and polyculture in the growth and survival of the high-valued jumbo tiger shrimp, P. monodon and the overall production and profitability.

Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain that produces PirA and PirB toxins is the main causative agent of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) in vannamei shrimp. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of biofloc application, probiotic Pseudoalteromonas piscicida 1Ub, and their combination on growth, immune response and resistance of vannamei shrimp infected with V. parahaemolyticus strain. This study used a completely randomized design consisting of biofloc-based system treatment with or without probiotic 1Ub and normal seawater as control. All treatment groups were challenged with V. parahaemolyticus AHPND strain at a cell density of 105 CFU mL”1 through immersion, while the negative control was reared without being pathogenic challenged. The shrimp used were in averaged body weight of 1.3 ± 0.002 g, reared for 21 days and fed five times a day at 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, and 22:00 WIB. The results showed that the B+Pro combination challenge test treatment resulted the best growth performance (specific growth rate, absolute length gain and feed conversion ratio) (P<0.05) compared to other challenge test treatments. hrimp treated with B+Pro also showed a lower intestinal cell population of V. parahaemolyticus RfR, and significantly higher immune response values (P<0.05) than those of other challenge test treatments and K+. Furthermore, those parameters supported positive impact on final shrimp survival rates in the experiment. This study shows that the application of combination of biofloc and 1Ub probiotic bacteria can significantly protect and increase the resistance of vannamei shrimp to V. parahaemolyticus AHPND infection.
