Abstract

Teluk Benderas Lake is an oxbow lake formed because the Kampar River's flow was cut off. This lake is a habitat for various types of fish. However, information on fish species in the area is still limited. To find out the kinds of fish in Teluk Benderas Lake, a study was conducted in March-May 2023 using the survey method. Fish sampling was performed once a week for two months. The fish were caught using a trawl measuring 150 m long and 4,5 m wide with 1-inch mesh size. Water quality parameters measured were temperature, brightness, depth, pH, DO, and CO2. The results showed that 1.398 fish were caught, consisting of 4 orders, 13 families, 25 genera, and 32 species. Based on the results of water quality measurements, it was concluded that Teluk Benderas Lake can still support fish life in the waters.

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

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.

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.
