Abstract

Jungga lime (Citrus jambhiri L.)/Sundai acid/Limau kuit is a natural ingredient that contains alkaloids, saponins, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, essential oils, and limonene, which are antibacterial. This research was conducted from August to December 2024 at the Laboratory of Fish Diseases and Parasites, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. This research aimed to analyze the physiological and biochemical responses of the blood of striped catfish. The method used was experimental with a completely randomized design (CRD) of 1 factor, five treatments, and three replicates. The treatments applied were Kn (without the addition of jungga lime and without being infected with A. hydrophila), Kp (without jungga lime and infected with A. hydrophila), and jungga lime-enriched pellets at P1 (6.0 mL/kg), P2 (6.5 mL/kg), and P3 (7.0 mL/kg), and infected with A. hydrophila. Striped catfish (P. hypophthalmus) with a size of 8-12 cm and a weight of 6-7 g were kept in a 54x37x29 cm container, with a stocking density of 1 fish/3 L, and fed 3 times a day and sanitation. On day 32, fish were intramuscularly challenged with A. hydrophila (108 CFU/mL) at 0.1 mL. The results showed that the best dose was P3 (7.0 mL/kg) with a blood glucose of 79.33 mg/dL, Mg 3.07 mg/dL, Ca 9.87 mg/dL, P 4.03 mg/dl, Lisozyme activity of 259 units, mL, weight growth reached 19.11 g, and length growth reached 5.39 cm. Adding jungga lime to fish feed can improve post-challenge fish blood's physiological and biochemical responses

Abstract

This study analyzed the population dynamics of kawakawa tuna (Euthynnus affinis) landed at PPI Ujong Baroh, West Aceh, from May to August 2025, using length-frequency data and the Von Bertalanffy growth model. A total of 815 individuals were measured to estimate growth, mortality, and exploitation parameters. The fork length ranged from 22–69 cm, dominated by medium-sized fish (30–37 cm FL), with the length at first capture (Lc = 33 cm FL) notably smaller than the length at first maturity (Lm ≈ 42–43 cm FL). Growth analysis indicated rapid juvenile growth, characterized by an asymptotic length (L∞) of 90 cm and a relatively high growth coefficient (K), while recruitment occurred periodically throughout the year. Mortality estimates showed total mortality (Z) of 4.77/year, natural mortality (M) of 1.45/year, and fishing mortality (F) of 3.32/year, resulting in an exploitation rate (E) of 0.70, which exceeds the optimal reference point (E = 0.5). These findings indicate that the kawakawa tuna stock in West Aceh is currently overexploited. This study provides the first updated, location-specific population parameter estimates for E. affinis in West Aceh waters, offering a critical scientific baseline for regionally adaptive fisheries management. Science-based management measures are therefore recommended, including implementing a minimum landing size of ≥43 cm FL, seasonal closures during spawning periods, effort control, and strengthened fisher participation to ensure long-term stock sustainability

Abstract

Chaetomorpha sp. is a green macroalgae that contains various bioactive compounds with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, as well as the potential to improve the physiological health of fish. This research investigates how incorporating Chaetomorpha sp. extract into the diet influences the hematological parameters of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four levels of extract supplementation (0, 25, 50, and 75 mL/kg of feed), with each treatment replicated three times. The hematological parameters analyzed included total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and blood glucose. The findings indicated that adding Chaetomorpha sp. extract to the diet significantly (p<0.05) improved all hematological indicators relative to the control, with 50 mL/kg of feed as the most effective dosage. The highest erythrocyte count 1.89 x106 cells/mm3, hematocrit value 35.67%, and hemoglobin concentration 6.87 g/dL were observed in fish fed 50 mL/kg extract. This increase in hematological values indicates improved oxygen transport capacity, physiological condition, and metabolic response in fish. Bioactive constituents, including sulfated polysaccharides and flavonoids, are believed to enhance the hematological condition of fish. These findings confirm the potential of Chaetomorpha sp. as a natural supplement to support Tilapia health in sustainable aquaculture systems.

Abstract

The ecological and tourism potential of Zeli Lake has been assessed using remote sensing techniques based on aerospace data. Using OpenStreetMap and Google Earth, the eco-geographical features of the lake were identified from these materials. The lake covers approximately 2,551 m² (0.26 ha) and has a total perimeter of 202.4 m. Its absolute altitude is around 909 m above sea level, while the relative altitude (eye altitude) reaches 1.37 km. From a satellite view, the lake has an oval, leaf-like shape. According to Google Earth measurements, its map length is 76.60 m and ground length is 76.96 m with a heading of 193.43°. The width is 63.37 m on the map and 63.39 m on the ground, with a heading of 90.59°. The exact geographic location of the Lake is 40°24′24.6″ N, latitude, and 46°23′10.8″ E longitude. So far, the ecotourism resources of the research object have not been comprehensively studied. In this respect, the lake's climatic conditions were analyzed using Landsat satellite imagery, other remote sensing data, and field visits. Seasonal monitoring was conducted to assess climate, forest cover, and visitor activity. The woodland surrounding the lake covers about 0.88 ha within a perimeter of 678 m. The area remains largely undeveloped, with only a small café located on the shore; no cottages, hotels, or hostels exist nearby. During autumn migration, several bird species are observed around the lake. Many of these belong to the species listed in the “Green Book” and “Red Book” of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In conclusion, the lake itself is a valuable natural site with promising ecotourism opportunities. However, its ecosystem has not yet been fully investigated, and further interdisciplinary research is required to evaluate and sustainably develop its resources.

Abstract

The condition of the Batang Asai River in Sarolangun Regency, Jambi, has experienced a decline in water quality due to anthropogenic activities such as land clearing, settlement, and mining. This condition threatens the sustainability of fish populations, especially those from the Cyprinidae family, which are an important and environmentally sensitive group of fish for consumption, one of which is the lampam (Barbonymus schwanefeldii). However, scientific information on the bioecology of lampam in this region is very limited. Therefore, this research is needed to provide basic data to support adaptive conservation and fisheries management strategies. This study aims to analyze the growth patterns and gonadal maturity levels of lampam in the Batang Asai River, Sarolangun Regency, as a basis for inland fisheries management. A total of 113 fish, consisting of 64 males and 49 females, were observed. Male fish had a positive allometric growth pattern, while female fish had an isometric growth pattern. Analysis of Gonad Maturity Level (GML) found fish with GML I to GML IV, but immature gonads dominated the condition of the fish. In general, the water quality of the Batang Asai River still supports fish life, as can be seen from the growth patterns of the fish, but most of the fish found during the study were still immature despite the presence of fish with GML I to GML IV.

Abstract

Sibolga City is one of the coastal areas in North Sumatra Province that plays a vital role in Indonesia’s marine and fisheries sector. This study aims to analyze the supply chain system of dried salted fish in Sibolga City, which includes three main components: the product flow, information flow, and financial flow. The research was conducted in September 2025 using a descriptive method with a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews and field observations involving fishermen, dried salted fish processors, collectors, retailers, and the Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (DKP) of Sibolga City. In contrast, secondary data were derived from DKP reports. The results showed that there are three main supply chain patterns: (1) fisherman–processor–collector–retailer–consumer, (2) fisherman–processor–collector–consumer, and (3) fisherman–processor–direct consumer. On average, dried salted fish processors in Sibolga can produce between 100 and 200 kg per day, depending on the availability of raw materials. Shorter distribution channels generate higher efficiency by reducing marketing costs, accelerating the flow of information and finance, and maintaining product quality. This study concludes that the dried salted fish supply chain in Sibolga City has been functioning but remains sub-optimal. Strengthening coordination among actors, improving access to formal financing, and utilizing information technology in distribution and marketing are necessary to enhance efficiency and increase the added value of dried salted fish products at the local level.

Abstract

The Mesjid River Estuary in Dumai City is an area prone to sediment accumulation due to the influence of river hydrology dynamics and interaction with oceanographic processes in coastal waters. The sedimentation phenomenon that occurs has a direct implication on the rate of estuary siltation and sediment transport patterns that affect the balance of the aquatic ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the sedimentation rate and sediment characteristics at the Mesjid River Estuary and examine the impact of sedimentation on siltation and sediment transport patterns. This study was conducted in December 2024 at the Mesjid River Estuary, Dumai City, with the aim of analyzing the sedimentation rate and its implications for siltation and sediment transport. Sedimentation in estuarine areas is an important phenomenon that affects changes in channel morphology, navigation capacity, and coastal ecosystem balance. Data collection was conducted at six research stations from upstream to downstream by recording water quality parameters, sediment characteristics, sedimentation rates, total suspended solids (TSS), and sediment transport. The results showed that the sedimentation rate ranged from 7.0 to 10.3 cm/year, with an average of 8.77 cm/year, which is relatively high compared to other estuaries in Southeast Asia. The average TSS value of 135 mg/l indicates a significant supply of sediment from land erosion and anthropogenic activities, while the sediment transport load reached 338.2 tons/year, confirming the role of the estuary as a center of material accumulation. These conditions accelerate siltation, limit the efficiency of maritime transportation, and alter coastal morphological dynamics, necessitating active management strategies and sustainable mitigation to maintain ecosystem functions and support the sustainability of local economic activities

Abstract

Giant gourami (Osphronemus gouramy) is one of Indonesia's most valuable freshwater fish species; however, its aquaculture development is constrained by slow growth and low survival rates. Improving water quality through the use of aquatic plants such as Lemna sp. and the application of eco-enzymes is essential. The development of Lemna sp. depends on nutrient availability, especially nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and potassium (K), which can be enhanced by adding an eco-enzyme. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different eco-enzyme concentrations on Lemna sp. biomass production, specific growth rate, and water quality parameters in giant gourami culture systems. The research was conducted using an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications: P0 (0 ml/L), P1 (1.5 ml/L), P2 (2.5 ml/L), P3 (3.5 ml/L), and P4 (4.5 ml/L) of eco-enzyme concentration. The results showed that eco-enzyme administration significantly influenced Lemna sp. biomass. The best results were observed in treatment P4 (4.5 ml/L), which produced the highest Lemna sp. biomass (132.87 g) and specific growth rate (4.47%). Optimal water quality was recorded in treatment P4, with temperature ranging from 26.1–29.8°C, pH 5.5–8.38, dissolved oxygen 3.10–6.42 mg/L, phosphate 0.3097–0.3872 mg/L, nitrate 0.5517–10.2414 mg/L, and CO₂ 17–40 mg/L. These findings demonstrate that eco-enzyme application at 4.5 mL/L effectively enhances Lemna sp. productivity as a natural biofilter while simultaneously improving giant gourami growth performance and survival

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to analyze mangrove community structure, estimate carbon storage and CO₂ sequestration potential, assess the economic value of CO₂ sequestration, and formulate management strategies for mangrove forests in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir Regency. This research was conducted in October 2024 in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The method applied was a survey-based approach. Sampling stations were determined using purposive sampling. Mangrove community structure data were collected using 10 m × 10 m quadrat transect plots. A total of six observation stations were established, with three plots per transect. The potential carbon stock of the mangrove ecosystem was calculated based on carbon content from trunk biomass, roots, litter, and sediment. Biomass carbon estimation utilized species-specific allometric equations. The results recorded seven mangrove species: Avicennia alba, A. eucalyptifolia, A. lanata, Bruguiera parviflora, Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, and Sonneratia alba. The highest relative density and the highest relative frequency were recorded for A.alba at Station I (75%) and Station II (42.86%). The highest relative dominance was recorded for Sonneratia alba at Station V (52.05%). The highest Importance Value Index (IVI) was observed for Avicennia alba at Station I (151.15%). The mangrove ecosystem in the coastal area of Bangko Subdistrict has an average carbon stock potential of 382.37 tons/ha, with an estimated CO₂ sequestration potential of 1,277.21 tons per hectare, totalling 15,893,618.87 tons. The estimated average economic value of carbon sequestration is IDR 1,081,274,726/ha, equivalent to IDR 13,455,438,919,367. Sustainable mangrove ecosystem management as a contribution to climate change mitigation can be implemented through the following strategies: ecosystem rehabilitation and protection, strengthening governance and law enforcement, community empowerment and alternative livelihood development, increased awareness and cross-sectoral coordination, and continuous monitoring and research
