Abstract

The study was conducted from March to May 2022 at the Fish Hatchery and Breeding Laboratory of the Fishery and Marine Science Faculty, Universitas Riau. This research aimed to determine the effect of the best water level on the growth and survival rate of cachama larvae (Colossoma macropomum). This study used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatments used were P1 = water level 5cm, P2 = water level 10cm, P3 = water level 15cm, and P4 = water level 20cm. Larvae were reared for 40 days with a stocking density of 2 fish/L. Different water levels showed a significant effect on the growth of absolute weight, absolute length, and specific growth rate of cachama larvae and no effect on the survival of cachama larvae (p<0.05). The best treatment was at a water level of 5 cm, with absolute growth of 1.73 g, absolute length of 4.59 cm, specific growth rate (SGR) of 17.16%/day, and survival rate of 91.11%. Water quality parameters during the study were temperature ranging from 26.7-28.4℃, pH 6.0-6.9, and dissolved oxygen ranging from 5.2-5.9 mg/L.

Abstract

Goldfish (Carassius auratus) at Maju Mapan Farm is one of the leading ornamental fish commodities with a high mortality rate due to disease. For this reason, this research aims to know about the type, prevalence, and intensity of ectoparasites at Maju Mapan Farm. The method in this research was random sampling for fish sampling 30 fish/pond. The type of parasites, prevalence, and intensity were analyzed descriptively and described in figures, tables, or graphs. This observation and identification showed that ectoparasites infected by goldfish at Maju Mapan Farm consisted of 3 types: Trichodina sp, Dactylogyrus sp, and Gyrodactylus sp. The types of ectoparasites that dominated both were Trichodina sp (96.11%), Dactylogyrus sp (3.61%), and Gyrodactylus sp (0.28%). Prevalence of ectoparasites was Trichodina sp (83.33%), Dactylogyrus sp (43.33%), and Gyrodactylus sp (6.67%). The intensity of ectoparasites were Trichodina sp (129 ind/fish), Dactylogyrus sp. (9 ind/fish), and Gyrodactylus sp (4 ind/fish). Trichodina sp. and Gyrodactylus sp. were commonly found in mucus, while Dactylogyrus sp. only infected goldfish in the gill organ. Prevalence and intensity of ectoparasites were found in goldfish with medium-stage infection at Maju Mapan Farm. The result of measuring water quality parameters was not optimal, causing ectoparasites to infect and multiply rapidly in goldfish at Maju Mapan Farm.

Abstract

Herbs Fermented consist of Kaempferia galanga L, Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb, and Curcuma domestica Val, which are environmentally friendly disease prevention alternatives that can be added to feed because they have several advantages, such as increasing appetite, digestion, growth, disease resistance, and reducing stress levels in fish. This research was carried out from August to December 2021 at the Marine Science Biotechnology Laboratory and Fish Parasites and Diseases Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. This study aimed to obtain the best dose from adding fermented herbs to increase the immune system of Oreochromis niloticus and prevent diseases caused by Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria in terms of profile erythrocytes. The method used was an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one factor, five levels of treatment, and three replications so that 15 experimental units were obtained. The challenge test was carried out on the 32nd day using A.hydrophila with a density of 108 CFU/mL. The best dose was found in P3 with a dose of 200 mL/kg of feed, which showed a total erythrocyte of 2.09x106 cells/mm3, hemoglobin level of 7.70 g/dL, hematocrit value of 37.70%, and a normal erythrocyte morphology. Water quality ranged from temperature 27-29oC, pH 6.9-7.2, DO 3.1-4.4 mg/L, and Ammonia 0.016-0.024 mg/L. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that fermented herbs can increase the immunity of O. niloticus to diseases caused by A.hydrophila.

Abstract

Caulepa racemosa is a type of sea grape from the group of green algae (Chlorophyceae) that can be found in Indonesian waters. Coastal communities use this species as a source of daily food. Besides being a food ingredient, C. racemosa can be used for medical purposes because it contains antioxidants. The distribution of C. racemosa and its density in waters depends on the type of substrate and season. The substrate in the cultivation container is an essential factor in cultivating C. racemosa. Various substrates have different characteristics and influence the growth of C. racemosa. This research aims to analyze the best substrate for the survival of seaweed on a laboratory scale. This research used an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments, namely different substrates of sand, coral, volcanic rock, and coral sand. The results of this research are that different types of substrates have a real influence on the survival rate of C. racemosa cultivated on a laboratory scale. Sand substrate gave the best results: a survival rate of 112.83%, a final weight of 22.56 g, and the highest antioxidant content on volcanic rock substrate of 83.19%. This research concludes that differences in substrate directly influence the survival rate and final weight of C.racemosa. The substrate that provided the best survival rate of 112.83% was sand substrate.

Abstract

Marine debris is a threat that is currently the biggest problem in the world due to the impact that trash can have on the survival of aquatic biota. This research was conducted to analyze the type and abundance and differences in the abundance of marine debris found in the northern coastal area of Bengkalis Island, Riau Province, which is assumed to be a location with the potential for accumulation of waste that could threaten the life of biota in the waters. The method used is the survey method, namely collecting data, documentation, and observation. Waste collection is carried out at three stations by determining the research location along 100 m and dividing each 20 m so there are five transects. Then, on each transect, a plot with a size of 5x5 m was made. Then, collect every type of waste contained in the plot. The results showed that plastic waste was the most common type (62%), while wood was the least found (1%). The abundance of waste on weekends is higher than on weekdays. The difference in the abundance of waste between stations was not significantly different, while the difference between the abundance of time (weekdays and weekends) was significantly different.
