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

This study aims to determine the effect of a reverse biofloc system on the water quality, growth, and survival of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The research method is experimental with a completely randomized design (CRD). The containers used were 13 buckets with a capacity of 100 L, with one control and three treatments, each repeated four times. Each container was filled with 10 red tilapia fish. Treatments included probiotics with doses of 5 mL, 10 mL, and 15 mL. The results showed that the treatment with 15 mL probiotics produced the highest fish weight growth, with an average of 558.75 g and an average length growth of 9.1 cm. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences in fish weight and length growth, indicating that probiotic concentration influenced fish growth. All treatments' survival rates (SR) reached 100%, indicating that the inverted biofloc system can maintain optimal environmental conditions. Water quality in the reverse biofloc system did not significantly affect fish growth, so other factors, such as microorganism density and nutrient availability, played a role. This study concludes that the reverse biofloc system with the addition of 15 mL probiotics provides the best results in increasing the growth of red tilapia without affecting its survival.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the form of analysis, as well as determine the obstacles and constraints in implementing the Decree of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia Number: PERMEN-KP No. 210 of 2023 if guided by PERMEN-KP No. 58 of 2020 concerning capture fisheries businesses. In scientific research using a qualitative approach with an interpretative normative paradigm, the available theories used for research are constructed as an imperfect building, and this research is descriptive. In implementing the Decree of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia Number: PERMEN-KP No. 210 of 2023 concerning Limited Protection of Terubuk Fish (Tenualosa macrura) has not been implemented in the socialization, sea patrol and monitoring activities carried out by the Government, Indonesian National Army, Police and community monitoring groups. If PERMEN-KP No. 210 of 2023 is guided by PERMEN-KP No. 58 of 2020 concerning capture fisheries businesses, there will be discrepancies between the rules made and the rules applied in the field. The effectiveness of the implementation of the Decree of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia on the availability of fish resources legally and seen from fishermen's catches has increased and is quite effective, but it is not yet significant because sanctions for violations have not been realized and the obstacles and obstacles to the implementation of the Decree when referring to PERMEN-KP No. 58 of 2020 should not be needed. Fishermen who have small boats (< 5 gross tonnage) are allowed to catch terubuk (Tenualosa macrura) in conservation areas following PERMEN – KP No. 58 of 2020.

Abstract

Vaname shrimp is one of Indonesia's leading export species and is widely cultivated. The main problem in vaname shrimp pond cultivation is the attack of shrimp diseases caused by bacteria or viruses. This study aims to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (BAL) from vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and test their antagonism against pathogenic bacteria. The research was conducted from February to April 2023. The method used in this study is a survey method. Sampling was conducted at the vaname shrimp pond of the Fisheries Service Task Unit (UPT), Tanjung Punak Village, Rupat Utara District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau. The method used in this research was a survey method. BAL was isolated using MRS Agar + CaCO3 media. The Kirby-Bauer method was used to test bacterial antagonism against pathogenic bacteria. Based on the identification of seven isolates, it was found that only four isolates were positively identified as LAB bacteria, namely 47D, 54T1, 73DB1, and 73BD2. The results of the antagonism test against pathogenic bacteria showed that all BAL isolates could not suppress the growth of E. coli bacteria. However, these isolates suppressed the growth of A. hydrophila bacteria, with the widest inhibition zone diameter on isolate 54T1 (4.2 mm). On Vibrio sp. bacteria, the widest inhibition zone of BAL was on isolate 73DB1 (6 mm). These results indicate that the antibacterial activity produced by BAL is still relatively weak.
