Abstract

Ornamental fish is one of the main merchandise from the fisheries sector whose ability can generate income for the state and create income that can help the community's economy, especially those who are engaged in fisheries or cultivators. The most effective and dominant type of carotenoids for coloring fish is carotenoids derived from carrot flour because it is a natural source of beta carotene which can improve the quality and color brightness of ornamental fish such as lemon fish. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments (carrot flour 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) and three replications. The feed was tested on lemon cichlid fish measuring 3.7 - 4 cm and weighing 0.8 - 1 g which were kept in a 10 L jar. Parameters observed were growth rate, absolute weight, absolute length growth rate, survival rate, water quality and color increase in lemon fish. The results showed that the addition of 15% carrot flour had an effect on the color 9% brightness of lemon fish (Labidochromis caeruleus). The results showed that the addition of carrot flour for growth and color improvement was in the 15% carrot flour treatment, the absolute weight growth value was 0.73 g/fish, length 0.56 cm/fish, survival rate was 96.6%. The addition of carrot flour to the growth and color improvement can be concluded that a dose of 15% affects growth and can increase the color of lemon fish.

Abstract

This research was conducted from July to October 2021 in Bengkalis Regency. This research is focused on evaluating in detail the condition of the ultimate fisheries from the ecological, social, economic, and institutional aspects as well as scientific information for follow-up planning and implementation of the best fisheries management in the waters of the Bengkalis Strait. The research method used during the study was a survey method. Types and sources of data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. The number of key respondents used in this study were 30 people. Sustainable fisheries management is seen from five dimensions, namely the ecological dimension, the economic dimension, the social dimension, the technological dimension and the institutional dimension. The scores for each attribute were analyzed using the Rapfish technique and will be passed through several analyzes such as multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), leverage analysis (JackKnife), and Monte Carlo analysis. Based on the results of the study the results of the catch of the terubuk fish during the period June-September amounted to 160 fish. From this amount, it showed that the percentage of male fish caught was much more dominant, namely 110 fish (69%) than 50 female fish (31%). The results of the analysis of each dimension show that the ecological index (59.92%) is included in the moderately sustainable category, the economic dimension (52.94%) is included in the moderately sustainable category, the social dimension (50.54%) is included in the moderately sustainable category, the social dimension (50.54%) is included in the moderately sustainable category. Institutional (49.91%) is included in the sustainable category and the technological dimension (70.25%) indicates the category is quite sustainable. Thus, the design of the terubuk fish management in Bengkalis waters can use the dimensions of the attributes that are classified as quite sustainable, to support or improve the institutional dimensions in order to support the management of terubuk fish.

Sample analysis was continued at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. The purpose of this study was to determine the estimation of carbon stocks in sediments, the comparison of carbon stocks between transects, and the relationship between density and carbon stocks in the Muara Sungai Bukit Batu mangrove area, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The method used in this study is a survey method. Parameters measured included mangrove density (Ind/Ha), organic matter content, and carbon stock in sediments. In addition, water quality was also measured in the form of temperature, salinity, and degree of acidity. Analysis of carbon stock using the loss on ignition method. The result of average density of mangroves throughout the transect is 3733.33 (Ind/Ha). The lowest carbon stock value in sediments is in transect 2 with medium mangrove density with a value of 29.26 tons/ha, while the highest carbon stock value is in transect 3 with high-density mangrove areas with a value of 36.15 tons/ha. The results of a simple linear regression to determine the relationship between mangrove density and carbon stock show a coefficient of determination R² = 0.023, which means that 2.3% of total carbon stock is affected by density, while 97.7% is influenced by other factors. The value of R = 0.152, which means that the relationship between density and carbon stock in the Bukit Batu river estuary area, Bengkalis Regency, is low.

Abstract

This research was conducted in May - June 2018 by surveying and taking a sample from Malang Rapat water on the East Coast of Bintan Island, Kepulauan Riau to determine the abundance and distribution of toxic benthic dinoflagellates associated with seaweed (Sargassum sp) and seagrass (Enhalus accoroides). Samples were taken from four sampling locations which were carried out purposively by taking into account the different anthropogenic activities that occurred in each region. The results of the study found 3 genera of toxic benthic dinoflagellates, namely Gambierdiscus sp, Ostreopsis sp, and Prorocentrum sp. The highest abundance of toxic benthic dinoflagellates associated with Sargassum sp was found in station 3, which was 302.279 cells/g, and the lowest at station 4 with (133.529 cells/g), while E. accoroides has the highest abundance at station 1 which was 620.65 cells/g). The abundance of toxic dinoflagellates in Sargassum sp has a positive correlation with nitrate concentration, but on the contrary, it was negatively correlated with the concentration of nitrate and phosphate in these waters to E. accoroides. The measured water quality parameters were still within the tolerance range for the marine organism. Further research is still needed to answer the cause of these differences and whether there are any fluctuations of abundance and the specific appearance of the toxic dinoflagellate.

Abstract

Water quality plays an important role in maintaining and increasing fish production. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of Indonesia's freshwater fish that has economic value. To increase production, tilapia cultivation is carried out intensively, characterized by high stocking density and provision of protein-rich feed. Good water quality control and feeding are key to the success of this intensive culture. Biofloc technology is one of the appropriate technologies for intensive tilapia rearing since fish can live at high densities and have a wide environmental tolerance. biofloc technology is an alternative solution to problems in overcoming cultivation waste such as ammonia and nitrite. Based on the above, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the biofloc system in converting ammonia compounds, improving water quality in the aquaculture environment, and understanding the relationship between water quality and tilapia growth. The research was conducted for 60 days to measure several water quality parameters, namely temperature, dissolved oxygen, acidity (pH), and ammonia, and to observe the growth parameters of tilapia. The treatment applied in this study was the addition of probiotics in feed with four treatments and three replications. The results showed that the biofloc system's water quality is tolerant to tilapia growth. The best growth results in treatment A with each value of absolute weight 14.70±0.10d, absolute length 6.70 ± 0.10d, specific growth rate 3.87±0.01c, and survival rate 100±0.00b

Abstract

The coastal areas of Dumai City in Riau Province are rapidly developing regions, especially in the tourism sector. This city offers several attractive beach destinations, such as Pasir Koneng Beach, Beringin Indah Beach, and Purnama Beach, attracting many local and international tourists. However, tourism growth in Dumai City also leads to an increase in solid domestic waste, which can threaten the coastal environment and the sustainability of marine ecosystems. This research aims to analyze the types and abundance of solid domestic waste in the coastal tourism areas of Dumai City. Through direct survey methods and descriptive analysis, samples of solid domestic waste were collected from three different beach locations: Purnama Beach, Koneng Beach, and Beringin Indah Beach. The results show that plastic waste is the most dominant type in all research locations, followed by wood and Styrofoam. Analysis of solid domestic waste's mass density and abundance indicates no significant difference between sampling stations or sampling times. This study provides a better understanding of the solid domestic waste issue in the coastal areas of Dumai City. It emphasizes the need for more effective management actions to maintain the sustainability of coastal tourism environments and prevent negative impacts on marine ecosystems and human well-being

Abstract

Input of nutrients into the waters from various human activities (residential, agriculture and industry) has the potential to cause changes in the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the waters. The study aims to determine the relationship of concentrations of nitrate, phosphate and silicate with the abundance of diatoms in the Tanjung Tiram waters. The method used is the survey method, the determination of the location of sampling is done by purposive sampling, data analysis (multiple regression). Based in the results of laboratory analysis nitrate concentrations ranged from 0,0819 – 0,1167 mg/l, the phosphate concentration ranged from 0,1002 – 0,1526 mg/l, and silicate concentration ranged from 0,04447 – 0,5418 mg/l. The abundance of diatoms in Tanjung Tiram waters ranged from 156,9 – 302,8 ind/l. The results of statistical analysis of the relationship of nitrate, phosphate and silicate with the abundance of diatoms are expressed in terms of equation Y = 350,906 – 58,065Nitrate– 2644,624phosphate+ 440,363Silicate. This statement explains the concentration of nitrate, phosphate related negative (-) to the abundance of diatoms and silicate positive (+) related to the abundance of diatom. This condition shows that the nutrient concentration in these waters is relatively high so that it affects the abundance of diatoms.
