Abstract

Fish is a food source that is available in large quantities in Indonesia. Indonesia's fisheries production is recorded as occupying the third largest position with total production of 6.43 million tons in the world (FAO 2022). Tilapia is a perishable food so it needs to be handled well so that the freshness of the fish is maintained. The quality of freshness can include appearance, taste, smell and texture which will be consciously or unconsciously assessed by buyers or users of the product. Apart from the freshness and high nutritional value of tilapia, there are aquatic pathogenic microorganisms that can cause disease in humans, for example nausea, diarrhea and stomachache. The presence of microbes in fish can affect quality, such as reducing the freshness of fishery product quality and consumer welfare. Pathogenic bacteria that are often found include Salmonella sp. UPTD PPMH Banten is the organizer of quality control and safety of certified fishery products as well as a quarantine center for microbiological testing of pathogenic bacteria in fishery products, one of which is Salmonella sp. The purpose of the test is to find out the correct testing procedures and according to the procedures, to find out the results of the analysis of Salmonella sp. contamination. on tilapia. Microbiological testing method for Salmonella sp. bacteria. carried out by referring to the standard procedure ISO 6579-1:2017.

Abstract

Biological indicators utilize animals as markers to assess water quality in specific water bodies. Among various bioindicators, benthos is widely used for evaluating river water quality due to its sensitivity to environmental changes and its tendency to remain in specific areas. This study aimed to determine the water quality status of the Jilu River. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling method, with macroinvertebrates collected using a grab sampler to extract sediment from the riverbed. The sediment was then sieved to isolate benthic organisms from five locations with varying characteristics: industrial area, rice fields, natural riparian zone, residential area, and educational tourism park. The Family Biotic Index (FBI) was used to analyze the benthic macroinvertebrates, identifying 11 families: Thiaridae, Tubificidae, Chironomidae, Viviparidae, Simuliidae, Philopotamidae, Baetidae, Heptageniidae, Gecarcinucoidea, Caenidae, and Coenagrionidae. The Thiaridae family dominated across all locations. Based on FBI analysis, water quality along the Jilu River ranged across three categories: good, moderate, and very poor. The findings highlight the need for effective management strategies to mitigate pollutant loads and preserve the river’s water quality.

Abstract

The abundant natural potential in the Belawan coastal area has great opportunities for the development of various activities. In addition, the Belawan coastal area is also vulnerable to high pollution, especially because of its role in supporting the regional economy through sectors such as tourism, fisheries, transportation, and industry. Effective waste management is a special concern of the government along with maximum efforts in developing economic potential. Waste has become a global problem, especially in Indonesia with its increasing population growth. This research aims to analyze strategies for controlling pollution from waste in the Belawan coastal area. The method used is a Likert Scale to evaluate the community's perception of the issue of waste problems. On the economic aspect, the community assessed that waste management has not had a significant impact, but on the social aspect, waste management was rated positively with the highest score reaching 68,80 which was obtained on waste management activities that increased fraternal ties. The problem of low sanitation awareness is the main obstacle that requires solutions based on community participation in waste management.

Abstract

Situ Patengan is designated as a Natural Tourism Park, offering recreational opportunities. However, human activities in the surrounding area can introduce both organic and inorganic materials, leading to changes in the lake’s trophic conditions. The trophic state level, which indicates the presence of nutrients, is used to evaluate the potential for the utilization of water bodies. The aim of this study was to assess the trophic state of Situ Patengan in Bandung Regency, West Java. Water samples were collected from the lake at four locations over three sampling periods. The trophic index (TRIX) method was applied to evaluate the lake’s trophic state. Total phosphate concentrations ranged from 0.041–0.187 mg/L, dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations varied between 0.20 and 0.64 mg/L, and chlorophyll-a levels ranged from 10.08 to 33.83 μg/L. According to the TRIX classification, the trophic state of Situ Patengan is considered eutrophic, with values ranging from 4.25 and 6.54. This information is valuable for predicting potential increases in trophic levels and guiding the sustainable management of Situ Patengan ecosystem.

Abstract

Fish feed should contain all the necessary nutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Some alternative feed ingredients can be used in the preparation of feed, one of which is seagrass leaf meal. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding seagrass leaf meal to the diet on specific growth rate and survival of ornamental Koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus). The research was conducted for 28 days at Bhayangkara Residence Baiti Jannati Block T1 No. 3 Sumbawa Regency. The method used was an experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments with 3 replicates so that 15 experimental units were obtained. The treatments tested were the addition of different seagrass leaf meal to the diets consisting of P1: control (no addition of seagrass leaf meal), P2: 3% seagrass leaf meal, P3: 6% seagrass leaf meal, P4: 9% seagrass leaf meal and P5: 12% seagrass leaf meal. The results showed that the highest to lowest average specific growth rate was P5 treatment at 2.29%, followed by P4 at 1.52%, P3 at 1.40%, P2 at 0.34%, and P1 (control) -1.15%. As for the survival rate, P5 treatment 87%, P4 80%, P3 and P2 67% each, and the lowest P1 (control) 53%. The addition of seagrass leaf meal to the diet affected the specific growth rate and survival rate of koi (C. rubrofuscus). The addition of a 12% seagrass leaf meal dose is the best treatment that can provide a specific growth rate of 2.29% and a survival rate of 87%.

Abstract

Indonesia has high biodiversity, making it the country with the second largest biodiversity in the world. To preserve this wealth, the government has established conservation areas, including the Gunung Halimun National Park in West Java, which is the largest tropical rainforest on the island of Java with unique flora and fauna. This research was carried out in the Citalahab River, part of the national park, to identify the fish species present. Sampling used a purposive sampling method, and fish species were identified based on data from gbif.org, fishbase.org, as well as the latest literature. The results of the research show that there are seven species of fish in the Cikaniki area, namely Puntius sp. (wader fish), Channa sp. (snakehead fish), Xiphophorus sp. (swordtail fish), Glyptothorax sp. (kekhel fish), Gambusia sp. (cere fish), Rasbora sp. (spray fish), and Monopterus sp. (field eel). Each species is described based on its morphological characters and habitat. These results emphasize the importance of conserving natural river habitats, because species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem stability and ecological balance.

Abstract

Lakes are aquatic ecosystems surrounded by land. Lakes have many uses, namely as habitats for aquatic biota and for tourism, mitigation, and education. Human activities around Lake SDGs IPB Dramaga have a negative impact on the lake environment. This study aims to compare the water quality status of SDGs lakes with CCME and the Pollution Index. The research used two time periods, namely October 2024 and March 2024, with three station points. The research results show that four parameters do not meet quality standards, with more parameters occurring in October 2023. Water quality status measurement using the lake pollution index is in the moderate category, while for CCME WQI, the lake is classified as in poor condition. The pollution index has a smaller standard error and deviation than the CCME WQI method. Hence, the pollution index method is more accurate in measuring the water quality status in Lake SDGs IPB Dramaga in these two periods.

Abstract

This study aims to determined of the reproductive biology of the shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma) including sex ratio, gonad maturity level, gonad maturity index, fecundity, and size at first sexual maturity. This study was carried out from January to February 2025 at the fish auction place (TPI) Sodoha, Kendari. Fish samples were obtained from catches in the western Banda Sea using mini purse seines and landed at the Sodoha TPI, Kendari. Samples were separated by sex, then measured for length using a ruler  with an accuracy of 0,5 mm and then measured for fish weight with a digital scale with an accuracy of 0.01 grams. Observation of the gonad maturity level was carried out by morphological and determination of fecundity using the gravimetric method. The results of the male and female sex ratio study showed an unbalanced, that is male of  105 individuals and  female of 52 individuals. The level of male and female gonad maturity was dominated by the immature gonad category, and the male gonad maturity index ranged from 0.0830-2.5847% and the female ranged from 0.0971-2.4535 %. The first sexual maturity  size of male and female shortfin scad were  232 mm and  224 mm, respectively, with fecundity ranging from 15,495 to 544,110 eggs.
