Abstract

Common carp is a fish consumption that is relatively easy to cultivate since it tends to be adaptive (easy to adapt to its environment and resistant to various types of diseases). One of the protein requirements for the growth of fish seeds can be obtained from mustard greens. Furthermore, the abundant availability of mustard greens in Kajoran Village can be an alternative feed if developed as carp feed. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mustard greens powder on the growth of common carp (Cyprinus carpio); besides, to determine the best concentration of mustard greens powder on the growth of common carp. This study was conducted in January-February 2022. The research method used an experimental method with treatment P1 (control), P2 (mustard green powder 25%), P3 (50%), P4 (75%), and P5 (100%). The results of giving the concentration of mustard green powder for the growth of common carp show a significant difference and it can increase the growth of carp. Furthermore, the best treatment is achieved in the P3 treatment (50% mustard green powder) with an average weight gain of 1.120 g. From the results of this study, it is expected that the people of Kajoran Village can use mustard greens well for carp cultivation with a concentration of 50% pellets and 50% mustard green powder. In addition, further research is needed on the manufacture of pellets from mustard green powder to make it easier for farmers to feed.

Abstract

The demand for ornamental fish is currently increasing while the availability in nature is decreasing due to overfishing. Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a type of marine ornamental fish that is widely kept in aquariums, but the problem is the rapid decline in water quality due to the activity of these fish. The recirculation system is one way that can be used in water quality management. The study aimed to analyze the type of filter used to stabilize seawater quality in clownfish (rearing containers. This research was conducted from January to April 2021 at the Research Centre of Sibolga Fisheries College. The method used was an experimental method using a one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatment levels and three replications. The treatments in this study were P0 (unfiltered), P1 (cotton filter), P2 (fiber filter), and P3 (activated charcoal filter). The fish used was 2 – 3 cm in size, kept in an aquarium measuring 60x40x40cm with a stocking density of 2 fish/L of water and fed tubifex 2 times a day, at 08.00 and 18.00 WIB as much as 5% of their body weight. Parameters measured were temperature, pH, DO, salinity, ammonia, and phosphate, abundance of bacteria, phytoplankton, and survival of clownfish. Water quality measurements are carried out every 7 days. The results obtained from the improvement and analysis of water quality for the cultivation of clownfish in the recirculation system provides an influence on water quality in the rearing container. The results obtained were temperature 27.9–28.0 0C, pH 8.3–8.4, DO 7.5–8.0 mg/L, salinity 33-34 ppt, ammonia 0.04–0.06 mg/L, phosphate 0.47–0.48 mg/L and bacterial abundance 2.35x104 CFU/mL with a survival rate of 95.55%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine differences in zooxanthella density based on the life forms of coral Acropora Branching, Submassive Acropora, Branching, Foliose, Heliopora and comparing zooxanthella densities between the forms of coral form. This study was conducted in January-February 2020 on Marak Island, Nagari Sungai Pinang, West Sumatera Province. Zooxanthella density was calculated at the Marine Biology Laboratory, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Riau. The survey methode was used in this study, where the data collected was primary data. Coral Sampling was done by free collection using the SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus). The result of study in the waters of Marak Island, West Sumatera on Acropora Branching corals were in the range of 0.004-0.13×106 cells/cm2. Acropora Submassive range of 2.95- 3.56×106 cells/cm2. Branching range of 2.41-2.59×106 cells/cm2. Foliose range of 0.44-1.09×106 cell/cm2. Heliopora range of 1.30-1.59×106 cell/cm2. The highest zooxanthella density was in Submassive Acropora and the lowest in Acropora Branching corals due to different forms of growth and temperature influences. Different forms of coral growth affect the zooxanthella density on a coral and the success of coral growth depends on the zooxanthella density and the size of the corallite of each coral life form.

Abstract

Indian Scad Fish (Decapterus russeli) are the most dominant small pelagic fish resources landed in the Sibolga Archipelago Fisheries Port. The production of Indian Scad Fish catches that are landed in PPN Sibolga on average fluctuates every year. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the catch of Indian Scad Fish to control the level of exploitation and create effective fishing operations so that the utilization of Indian scad fish resources can run optimally and sustainably. This study aims to determine the percentage level of utilization of Indian scad fish (Depterrus russeli) that landed at the Sibolga Nusantara Fisheries Port, North Sumatra. This research was conducted in March – April 2022. The method used in this research is the survey method. The type of data collected is secondary data. The data analysis used includes standardization of Indian scad fish fishing gear, sustainable potential and optimum effort, total allowable catch (TAC), utilization rate, and effort. From the research results, it was found that the highest production of Indian scad fish catches in 2019 was 6,392 tons. Based on the calculation of MSY and the optimum effort in 2017-2021 of 5,934.97 tons/year, meaning that the maximum catch of Indian scad fish that can be caught is 5,934.97 tons/year and the number of allowable catches is 4,747.98 tons/year or 80% of the maximum catch and utilization rate of Indian scad fish for 5 years is 81.41%.
