Abstract

Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is a freshwater fish that can grow well in dark condition. In no light condition, fishes are more responsive to feed provided. However, phytoplankton may not grow well, and as a consequence the water quality was poor and it negatively effects the fish health in general. The combination of biofloc and photoperiod manipulation systems is expected to improve the water quality as well as the fish health. To understand health status of the fish in general, the histological structure gill, kidney and liver was investigated. Sample were fixed in 5% formalin, paraffin processed and Haematoxylin Eosin stained. There were 2 factor, 3 treatment applied, namely natural (control), 18G (18 hours dark), 24G (24 hours dark) and 3 repetition. Parameter measured were survival rate and histological structure of gill, kidney, intestine and liver. Results shown that there are not difference of histological structure of the organs of fish reared under biofloc and manipulated photoperiod systems. There were light abnormalities in the gill, such as hyperplasia, hypertrophy, oedema and necrosis. There is no negative effect of biofloc system and photoperiod manipulation in structure of fish organ as there is only light abnormalities that can be cured when the water quality is good.

Abstract

This research was conducted on August 31, 2021 – December 7, 2021, at the UPTD KPSDKP, West Sumatra Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of temperature differences on incubation time, hatching rate, and survival rate of turtle hatchlings (Lepidochelys olivacea). The method used in this study is an experiment that uses 3 trials plus 1 control, with 3 repetitions. Turtle eggs were incubated with the same depth and number of eggs with the addition of different temperatures from incandescent lamps with different powers. Then proceed with the calculation of incubation time, percentage of hatching, and survival of hatchling. Based on the results of the research, for the calculation of incubation time, the experimental unit with the shortest incubation period was produced by experimental unit B, with a temperature range of 27.5–29.5⁰C, which was 58 days. The incubation period that took the longest was the control experimental unit with an average temperature of 25⁰C, which was 65 days. For the results, the most optimal hatching rate was produced by experimental unit B, with an average hatching rate of 86%. Meanwhile, the lowest hatching rate was obtained from experimental unit C with an average hatching rate of only 53.3%. Then for the survival of the hatchlings after being quarantined for one week, all of them show the number 100%, which means that no hatchlings died during the quarantine.

Abstract

Interest in the cultivation of koi carp commodities has increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Breeders come from various communities. This study aims to determine whether topographic differences have an effect or not on the growth of koi carp. The research was conducted from February to March 2022 for 45 days. The location of the research was carried out in three different places, Kaliangkrik, Tempuran, and Kebumen. The research method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 repetitions. The first treatment is an altitude of 1,030 meters above sea level (Kaliangkrik), the second is 323 meters above sea level (Tempuran), and the third is 26 meters above sea level (Kebumen). The data were analyzed using the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) further tests. The results showed that topographic differences affect the growth of koi fish both in weight and length growth of koi fish. The altitude that produces the best growth in this study is at an altitude of 26 meters above sea level or located in Kebumen. This is supported by the data showing the highest weight (average 4,1 g), the longest (average 2.5 cm), the lowest FCR (average 2,16), and the highest Survival Rate (SR) high (80%).

Abstract

Tuna (Thunnus sp.) is the second largest foreign exchange earner after shrimp. One type of tuna which is an export commodity is yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). Research on the effect of the distribution of sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean south of Java on the catch of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) has been carried out at the Nizam Zachman Ocean Fishery Port (PPS) from April 8 to April 30, 2021. This study aims to determine the effect of sea surface temperature (SST) on the catch of yellowfin tuna. The research method used was the method of observation and analysis of satellite imagery. Coordinate data and the number of catches were obtained from the Ocean Fishery Port Logbook (PPS) Nizam Zachman. SPL data obtained from satellite imagery Modis Aqua Level 3. The data was obtained and then analyzed using a simple regression test and the F test results of regression analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (R) of 12.7% and the coefficient of determination (R2) of 1,6% means that 1.6% of yellowfin tuna catches are influenced by SST and 98.4% is influenced by other factors. The F test results show that the SPL significance value is 0.332. The conclusion is that changes in SST have no significant effect on the catch of yellowfin tuna
