Abstract

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic country, providing abundant biodiversity potential. The rapid development of chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology has increased the research and application of various plants in the health sector. Phytopharmaca is a standardized herbal medicine that has proven its efficacy through clinical trials. Various types of marine biota that are easy to find have been proven to contain bioactive compounds that can potentially develop phytopharmaceuticals based on biological resources. The development of phytopharmaceuticals made from marine plant raw materials has yet to be widely developed. Limiting factors often found are references to pharmaceutical standardization and the required research funding. However, this does not rule out the possibility of realizing phytopharmaceutical products from marine plants that meet standards and clinical trials. Therefore, the aim of the explanation regarding research, types, and potential of marine biological resources in phytopharmaceuticals is to provide information and learning media.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze leading commodities in the aquaculture sector of Riau Province, using the Location Quotient (LQ), Shift Share, and Klassen Typology approaches. The analysis was conducted on aquaculture production data from 2019 to 2023 to identify commodities with the greatest potential and optimal contribution to the regional economy. The results show that the leading commodities in Riau Province are pangas catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and catfish (Clarias gariepinus), both of which have an LQ value greater than 1, indicating that they are basic commodities with high competitiveness at the provincial level. Meanwhile, commodities such as carp (Cyprinus carpio L), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), giant goramy (Osphronemus goramy), vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), and milkfish (Chanos chanos), despite production fluctuations, still require more efficient management to improve their competitiveness. Based on the shift-share analysis, catfish and tilapia contribute positively and significantly to the growth of the aquaculture sector in Riau Province. Furthermore, the Klassen Typology analysis shows that pangas catfish and catfish fall into the "Advancing and Growing Rapidly" quadrant, while other commodities are in the "Potential or Rapidly Developing" quadrant. This study concludes that the aquaculture sector in Riau Province has great potential for development, particularly for catfish and tilapia, which can be strengthened through improvements in infrastructure, aquaculture technology, and commodity diversification to reduce production fluctuations. Improvement of infrastructure, aquaculture technology, commodity diversification, and farmer training can enhance productivity, quality, and market competitiveness both domestically and internationally in a sustainable manner

Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) contain flavonoids and saponins that can help improve fish health. Fish health and immune conditions can be predicted based on fish haematology. The study aimed to determine the effects of powder addition of Moringa leaves in fish feed pellets on the haematological disorders of saline tilapia. It was carried out from July to August 2022. Moringa leaf flour was mixed well with pelleted feed, and the dose of Moringa leaf flour was as follows: 0 (Control, without the addition of Moringa leaves), P1 (10 g/kg), P2 (15 g/kg), and P3 (20 g/kg). Fish were stored in round plastic containers (25 L, equipped with an aerator and circulation pump) for 42 days, 15 fish/container. During the study, fish were fed three times/day at satiation. Sampling was carried out twice, namely before treatment and at the end of the experiment (day 42). The results showed that adding Moringa leaf flour to fish feed pellets affected fish haematology. Fish fed with turmeric-enriched pellets showed a higher percentage of lymphocytes, increasing the fish's immunity. The best treatment was P2, which showed 81.66% lymphocytes, 7.11% monocytes, 8.66% neutrophils, and 2.55% thrombocytes. Data obtained showed that fish fed with Moringa leaf pellets had better haematological conditions than fish not fed with Moringa leaf pellets.
