Abstract

This research investigates the population dynamics of the gastropod Cerithidea obtusa along the eastern intertidal zones of Bengkalis Island, focusing on species abundance, spatial distribution, and size variation. Conducted over the span from December 2023 to January 2024, this investigation took place at two specific locales on the east coast of Bengkalis Island: Sekodi Village (Station I) and Teluk Lancar Village (Station II), employing a comprehensive survey methodology. The intertidal zones were segmented into upper, middle, and lower subzones, each with three transects containing one m² plot. Temperature, salinity, pH levels, substrate composition, and organic matter content were measured as indicators of the quality of the environment. The results revealed a significant difference in population density between the stations, with Station I showing the highest abundance at 240.000 ind/Ha and Station II the lowest at 33.300 ind/Ha. The middle subzone at Station I was the most populated, with 93.300 ind/ha. Shell size analysis revealed three categories: small (<3,35 mm), medium (3,35-4,05 mm), and large (≥4,05 mm), with medium-sized shells being the most prevalent. The distribution pattern of C. obtusa exhibited both uniform and clustered arrangements. A significant disparity in abundance was noted between Station I and Station II, with a p-value of 0,000, underscoring the considerable variation in population density between the two locations

Abstract

The population structure is a collection of organisms living in a particular area at a specific time and originating from the same species. The intertidal zone is between the sea's high and low tide lines, which have extreme ecological conditions. Several groups of organisms, including gastropods, can adapt to this environment. One type of gastropod that inhabits this area is Nerita articulata. This research was conducted in December 2023 in the intertidal zone of Teluk Lancar Village. The study aimed to analyze the population structure of N. articulata in the intertidal zone of Teluk Lancar Village, including population abundance, shell size frequency distribution, and distribution patterns. The research used a survey method. The intertidal zone is divided into three subzones: upper, middle, and lower. In each subzone, three quadrat plots measuring 1x1 m are placed. Environmental parameters measured include water quality, such as temperature, salinity, pH, substrate type, and organic matter. The research results indicate that the population abundance of this species varies, ranging from high to moderate to low. The highest abundance is found in the upper subzone, while the lowest is in the lower subzone. The shell sizes of this species are grouped into 3 size classes: <18.3 mm, 18.3-24.4 mm, and >24.4 mm. The largest and smallest shell sizes are commonly found in the upper subzone. The distribution pattern is uniform with a Morisita index value (Id < 1). The abundance of N. articulata among subzones differs significantly (p < 0,05), while the size among subzones does not differ significantly (p > 0,05).

Abstract

Activities of phytoplankton culture needed to be supported by physical and chemical parameters. This study aimed to analyze the effect of a combination of salinity and Walne fertilizer on the population growth of Nannochloropsis sp on the laboratory scale. The method used in this study is an experimental method using CRD (Completely Randomized Design) experimental design with 2 factors, namely salinity and Walne fertilizer, and each factor is given 3 levels of treatment. The level value of each factor is combined to obtain 9 combinations with 3 replications to obtain a total of 27 experimental units. The results of measuring the water quality parameters show that the media conditions were in good condition: an average temperature of 21℃, an average pH of 7.6, and the LED light used is ±2,000 lux. The results showed no significant effect of the combination of salinity and Walne fertilizer on the population growth of Nannochloropsis sp. The best combination value was obtained in the S1W1 treatment with a combination of 15 ppt salinity and 0.5 mL Walne fertilizer dose, resulting in cell population density (4125x103 cells/mL). The second best was obtained in the S1W2 combination with 15 ppt salinity and 1 mL Walne fertilizer dose (3775x103 cells/mL).

Abstract

Silver barb is one of the fish that can be cultivated year-round due to their excellent ability to adapt to Indonesian climate. One of the problems that cultivators often face is feeding; long-term commercial feeding or pelleting will negatively impact the fish’s body. Therefore, a natural admixture of feed can become an alternative solution. This study used powdered noni fruit as a feed supplement for silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) because of its content of antioxidant compounds that can reduce oxidative stress due to free radicals. This study aims to determine the best practice of feeding powdered noni fruit as a feed supplement and its influences on silver barb's growth and survival rate during the fingerling phase. The study was conducted in November – December 2022 using a complete randomized design experiment consisting of four treatments and four retries. Random sampling took five fish sized 2 – 3 cm as samples. The cultivation container used in this study has a volume of 30 L, with each container containing ten samples. This study uses one-way ANOVA and is continued with a DMRT test to find the best doses of powdered noni fruit. The result shows that the best addition of noni powder was 15% of the total feed. This addition of noni powder demonstrates an increase of growth yield by 1.62 cm, absolute weight of 2.11 g, 87.5% survival rate, and feed conversion ratio of 0.0535. Moreover, the percentage of fish weight increases by 1.1% for every 1% increase in height

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative bacterium that can infect fish and is zoonotic to humans. Efforts to prevent this bacterial infection can be made using herbal plants due to the content of secondary metabolite compounds. This study aims to explore plants that have the potential as antibacterials, especially A. hydrophila bacteria. This research was conducted in February 2024 at the Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. The experimental method used included the stages of preparation of plant leaf samples and antibacterial tests using Kirby-Bauer discs. The plants used were the leaves of senduduk (Melastoma malabathricum), kantong semar (Nepenthes sp), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), belimbing bukit (Acetosella barreligeri), sirsak (Annona muricata), mucuna (Mucuna bracteata), Israel grass (Asystasia gangetica), and miana (Coleus scutellariodes). The results showed that the leaves of kantong semar, senduduk, and belimbing bukit could inhibit bacterial growth in a strong category. In contrast, the leaves of sirsak, mucuna, Israel grass, miana, and lime were classified as moderately inhibiting the growth of A. hydrophila bacteria. In conclusion, these herbal plants can potentially prevent A. hydrophila bacterial infection
