Abstract

A scientific study on Saurida tumbil is essential, particularly concerning fishing activities. The current study aimed to investigate the reproductive biology of Saurida tumbil through monthly sampling. Fish were dissected to determine sex and gonadal maturity stages, with gonads furthermore preserved in a 10% formalin solution. Reproductive parameters, including sex ratio, gonad maturity, length at first sexual maturity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and fecundity, were analysed, followed by length at first capture analysis. Histological techniques were applied to assess gonadal maturity at a microscopic level. The peak reproductive period of Saurida tumbil in Jizan waters was identified between February and April (winter–spring), with the highest GSI values recorded for females (3.6) and males (0.96). Reproductive activity declined between October and December (autumn–winter). The estimated length at first sexual maturity was 23.49 cm for females and 23.94 cm for males. Both values were lower compared to length at first capture (22.75 cm). Absolute fecundity averaged 42528 eggs, ranging from 4485 to 225549 eggs. Identifying optimal fishing areas and seasons simultaneously in Jizan waters is crucial for maximising sustainable fisheries.

Abstract

Jelawat fish (Leptobarbus hoevenii) is one of the indigenous fish species in Indonesia, with high economic value. The high selling price offers a potential for cultivation activities, as this fish has a large size and a delightful flesh taste that fulfills the community's taste preferences. This study aims to determine the effect of adding papain enzymes to pasta feed with different doses and times on the growth and survival of jelawat fish larvae. The method used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial with 2 factors, namely: the first factor was the enzyme dose (0, 10 g, 20 g, 30 g), and the second factor was the time of administration (day 7 and day 10); each treatment was repeated 3 times. The parameters measured were absolute weight growth, absolute length growth, specific growth rate, survival, and water quality. The results showed that the enzyme dose, time of administration, and the interaction between dose and time had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the growth and survival of jelawat fish larvae. The best treatment was P4 (D10W10), resulting in absolute weight growth of 0.1229 g, absolute length of 1.50 cm, SGR of 7.83 %/day, and survival rate of 94.00%. Water quality parameters during the study were classified as optimal, specifically temperature 26.9 – 28.5 °C, pH 5.75 – 7.47, and DO 6.1 – 7.2 mg/L.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of Caulerpa racemosa and probiotics on the growth performance, survival, and feed utilisation of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings. Four treatments were formulated: A (25g C. racemosa + 6mL probiotics), B (50g C. racemosa + 6mL probiotics), C (75g C. racemosa + 6mL probiotics), and D (control, no additives). The highest weight gain (27.80±1.62g) and most efficient feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in the control group, attributed to its optimal protein (17.82%) and fat (10.51%) content. Treatment A yielded moderate growth (19.35±2.45g) with the lowest FCR (1.62±0.03), indicating a potential synergistic effect of low-level C. racemosa and probiotics. In contrast, Treatments B and C resulted in reduced growth (17.72±0.47g and 16.92±1.09g, respectively), likely due to high levels of dietary carbohydrate (up to 61.56%) and ash (up to 24.25%), which impaired nutrient assimilation. Survival rates were uniformly high across treatments (93.3–100%), confirming the safety of these additives. The findings underscore the importance of dosage in functional feed formulations, highlighting that excessive seaweed inclusion may compromise performance, while low-level supplementation in combination with probiotics offers promising benefits for sustainable aquaculture.

Abstract

Daphnia, a genus of planktonic crustaceans, has gained significant attention in aquaculture due to its high nutritional value and suitability as live feed for fish larvae. This review synthesizes current research on Daphnia production, nutritional variability, and its role in enhancing fish larvae development. Numerous research findings indicate that the protein content of Daphnia provided to different fish larvae ranges from 40% to 60%. We explore the advancements in culture techniques, including the use of organic manures, microalgae, and probiotics, to optimize Daphnia yield and nutritional quality. The review highlights the benefits of Daphnia in improving fish larvae growth, survival rates, and immune response, while also addressing its role in nutrient recycling and water quality management. However, large-scale production faces challenges such as environmental sensitivity, limited shelf life, and competition with other live feeds. Sustainable practices, including the use of closed recirculating systems and bioencapsulation, are essential to mitigate ecological impacts and ensure long-term viability. By integrating current knowledge and identifying research gaps, this review underscores the potential of Daphnia as a sustainable and effective live feed in aquaculture, while calling for further innovation to overcome existing challenges.

Abstract

Disease attacks on tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) have developed in several pond areas, resulting in mass mortality and crop failure. One of them is vibriosis disease caused by the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus. V. parahaemolyticus bacteria are one of the most virulent and prevalent pathogens against tiger shrimp cultivation and cause substantial economic losses to the aquaculture industry. This study aimed to analyze the antibacterial effectiveness of noni (Morinda citrifolia) leaf extract on shrimp larvae against V. parahaemolyticus in vivo. The research method was carried out experimentally with several stages: noni leaf extraction with maceration using 80% ethanol, phytochemical tests, and antibacterial tests through maintenance with extract immersion (control without extract, extract immersion for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours, and 24 hours), bacterial enumeration, and water quality measurement. The results showed that tiger prawn larvae infected with V. parahaemolyticus bacteria experienced clinical symptoms with reddish color, passive swimming patterns, sideways movements, and very active reflex movements. The antibacterial effectiveness of noni leaf extract on tiger prawn larvae significantly affected V. parahaemolyticus bacteria. The content of compounds in noni leaf extract suppresses the mortality rate of tiger prawn larvae due to V. parahaemolyticus bacterial infection. The best dose was found in the extract soaking for 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours, with tiger prawn larval mortality up to 0% during maintenance.

Abstract

The nutritional potential of copepods as live feed for larvae warrants further exploration, particularly for juvenile and adult shrimp. However, their small size presents a challenge, as larger shrimp may struggle to capture such small prey. A nutrient-based formulation approach was adopted by supplementing Oithona sp. copepod meal into vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) feed, and its effects on survival and growth were evaluated. A 35-day experiment was conducted in aquariums (20×20×30 cm) with an 8-liter water volume. The experimental feed was prepared by coating it with copepod meal. Four supplementation levels, each with three replicates, were tested: 0, 1, 2, and 3 g per 100 g of feed. Vannamei shrimp with an initial weight of 2.15±0.03 g and a stocking density of 16 individuals per aquarium were fed three times a day to satiation. Although the differences were not statistically significant, the survival rate of shrimp fed with supplemented diets (all 100±0.00%) was higher than that of the non-supplemented group (97.9±3.6%). In terms of growth, Absolute Weight Gain (AWG) and Specific Growth Rate (SGR) were significantly higher in the 3 g (5.27±0.02 g and 3.53±0.01% day-1), 2 g (5.13±0.08 g and 3.51±0.06% day-1), and 1 g group (4.88±0.10 g and 3.36±0.07% day-1) compared to the non-supplemented group (2.97±0.13 g and 2.48±0.11% day-1). In conclusion, the supplementation of copepod meal effectively enhanced the survival and growth of vannamei shrimp. The 3 g dose is the best dose that promotes the highest growth and survival.

Abstract

Environmental pressures can have a negative impact on fishery resources in the Madura Strait, especially the ghost shrimp K. karumba, which provides ecological benefits. Therefore, this study aims to examine the abundance, population structure, and feeding habits of these species. The study was conducted at two stations, each with three 5 x 5 m transects over one year, measuring carapace length (mm) and weight (g). Additionally, intestinal samples were collected to examine feeding habits. The highest abundance of males and females was in transect 1a and 2b, respectively, with males of 83 ind/5m2, females of 111 ind/5m2, and 91 ind/5m2, 104 ind/5m2. The abundance of ovigerous female/gonad maturity level IV was mostly found in September, November, and December. The minimum carapace length of males ranges from 4.63 mm to 16.9 mm with a body weight between 4.88 g and 11.1 g, while the maximum carapace length ranges from 24.31 mm to 40.9 mm with a body weight between 21.5 g and 44.2 g. Minimum carapace length for females ranges from 7.5 mm to 15.3 mm with a body weight between 5.66 g and 12.4 g, and the maximum carapace length ranges from 21.3 mm to 35.4 mm with a body weight between 16.74 g and 33.9 g. The standard degree of morisita (Ip) states that the distribution of ghost shrimp is classified as a clustered distribution pattern. The primary food source of the ghost shrimp K. karumba is organic matter, and supplementary food is Chlorococcum sp. and Chlorella sp.

Abstract

Koi fish (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) is an ornamental fish with a relatively high percentage of domestic and international market demand, and its price is highly dependent on the body shape and color quality. Adding carotenoids to feed is one technique to improve the quality and brightness of koi fish colors. This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of carrot meal fermented using rumen fluid and Bacillus sp. in feed to improve the color and growth performance of koi. This experiment was designed using a completely randomized design method, consisting of four types of treatments, each of which was repeated three times, resulting in a total of twelve test units.  The treatments tested included the use of carrot meal fermented by rumen fluid and Bacillus sp. at levels of 0% (control), 10%, 15%, and 20%.  The parameters observed were carrot meal carotenoids after fermentation, fish color performance, feed utilization efficiency, feed conversion ratio, muscle glycogen content, specific growth rate, absolute growth, and survival of koi fish. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and further tested using Duncan. The results showed the best in treatment C, 15% rumen microbe fermented carrot meal and Bacillus sp. in feed, and produced the best color performance, TFC 89.91%, FUE 87.54%, FCR 1.99%, MGC 16.79%, SGR 22.62%, AG 34.33g, and SR 100%. This information can help koi breeders improve the color and growth performance of koi fish by using fermented carrot feed, rumen fluid, and Bacillus sp.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the world's fourth-largest shrimp exporter, has experienced a decline in export volume caused by disease outbreaks. This disease is a challenge because shrimp do not have adaptive immunity and rely heavily on innate immunity to survive against pathogens. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out early detection of diseases to reduce cultivation losses. Detection of disease agents in small quantities that have not caused symptoms of disease can be done using PCR tools. Real- Time PCR is widely used because of its fast, accurate visualization results, highly sensitive levels and techniques, and its analysis is qualitative and quantitative. This study only conducted qualitative detection using real-time PCR to determine the presence or absence of pathogens in whiteleg shrimp without quantifying the level of infection. The study included sample preparation, sample extraction, and sample amplification. The number of samples was 75 with WSSV, EMS, and EHP disease test parameters. The number of EHP test parameters was the most tested parameter with 42 tests, then EMS at 22 tests, and finally WSSV with 11 tests. The disease test parameters identified as positive EHP were 16 (38.10%), negative EHP were 26 (61.90%), negative EMS were 22 (100%), and negative WSSV were 11 (100%). Based on Fisher's Exact Test analysis, EHP disease was detected significantly more than EMS and WSSV (p < 0.05). These three parameters are a challenge for farmers  because they can cause economic losses.

Abstract

Caulerpa racemosa, often known as sea grapes, is an economically important macroalgae species from the Chlorophyceae group. Its growth is highly dependent on the nutrients in the waters; it needs to be cultivated with an integrated system, such as silviofishery. Silvofishery is an integrated system between mangroves and brackish water aquaculture. This study aims to analyze the effect of differences in cultivation depth on the growth performance of C. racemosa in silvofishery ponds. The treatments of this study were C. racemosa cultivated in silvofishery ponds at a depth of 20 cm and 60 cm. The measured parameters were total weight, SGR (Specific Growth rate), and water quality. The results of total weight indicated that C. racemosa cultivated at a depth of 20 cm showed a higher value (315.33±63.13 grams) compared to 60 cm (193.33±22.74 grams). The results of SGR measurements showed that C. racemosa cultivated at a depth of 20 cm (2.46±0.25 %/day) was higher than 60 cm (1.79±0.13 %/day). Temperature (27.5–33.7°C), pH (7.32–8.6), salinity (24–40 ppt), brightness (25–37.5 cm), and phosphate (0.2–1.6 mg/l) have not met the eligibility standards. Only nitrate (0.2–1.6 mg/l) and ammonia (0.1–0.4 mg/l) have reasonable water quality values. C. racemosa cultivated in Silvofishery Pound showed the best results at a depth of 20 cm, though the water quality was not optimum. We recommend further improvement to enhance the water quality so that its growth will be more optimal.
