Abstract

Chlorella sp. is a microalga that can grow and develop in wastewater media, including sago liquid waste that is not utilized and becomes a pollution material. This study aims to determine the utilization of sago liquid waste organic fertilizer on the growth of Chlorella sp. This research was conducted in February 2023 at the Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Riau University. The method used was the experimental method, by applying a complete randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replicates. The treatments were as follows: T0 (control), T1 (150 ml sago liquid waste), T2 (200 ml), and T3 (250 ml). The initial density of Chlorella sp. was 250 x103 cells/ml, and cell abundance observations were made for 14 days. The parameters observed were cell abundance, specific growth rate, and water quality (temperature and pH). The results showed that the utilization of sago liquid waste affected the abundance of Chlorella sp. 150 ml concentration and gave the best results on cell abundance of 233.33 x103 cells/ml with the peak population occurring on day 9. Water quality during the study was still in the normal range and can be tolerated for the growth of Chlorella sp, namely temperature ranging from 26-31o C and pH 6.2-8.0

Abstract

Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat sea (KSB) is included in WPPNRI 573, including the Sawu Sea area, Indian Ocean waters, western Timor Sea, southern Java waters, and southern West Nusa Tenggara (KKP, 2014). The potential for demersal fish is in second place after pelagic fish with a total production of 103,501 tons from the potential fishery resources of WPPNRI 573 of 929,330 tons. An increase in catches that exceeds the sustainable potential value will reduce the catches of the next cycle and even have the potential for the extinction of fishery resources. So it must be overcome by making arrangements for the fishing effort to match the carrying capacity of the resource. The purpose of this study was to determine the sustainable potential of demersal fisheries and their level of utilization in West Sumbawa Regency. The methods used in the preparation of this study are field surveys and descriptive methods. The data obtained were analyzed statistically and descriptively, estimating fish stocks using the Schaefer Surplus Production Model. The results showed that the relationship between effort and CPUE obtained a linear equation y=8809-4.425x with R=0.024 which means that there is no relationship between fishing gear and catch. The catch is influenced by external factors such as seasonality and oceanographic conditions. The optimum effort value is 19,489.91 trips per year and the maximum sustainable catch is 8,584,332 kg per year. The last year's utilization rate value was 0.01% with an effort level value of 0.01%. The utilization rate is still relatively low, namely less than 100%.

Abstract

The seagrass ecosystem is one of the marine ecosystems that has an important role, namely as a source of life for organisms in the sea. Diatoms are microalgae widely distributed throughout the aquatic environment and are even found in plants, including seagrass leaves. Diatoms greatly influence life in the waters because they play an essential role as a food source for various marine organisms and play a role in the transfer of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate. This research was conducted in February 2023 on Poncan Gadang Island, Sibolga City, North Sumatra. The study aims to determine the density, relative abundance, abundance, and diversity of epiphytic diatom species on seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) leaves in Poncan Gadang Island. The method used is the survey method, using three stations to take samples. The determination of 3 stations is based on the density of the seagrass beds ecosystem. Sampling of diatoms was carried out by brushing the surface of seagrass leaves about 5x2 cm on the front and back of the leaves. The samples obtained were then analyzed in the laboratory. There were 12 types of diatoms found, consisting of Cocconeis sp., Rhizosolenia sp., Biddulphia sp., Amphipluera sp., Thalassiotrix sp., Nitzchia sp., Synedra sp., Melosira sp., Pleurogosigma sp., Skeletonema sp., Licmiphora sp., and Thalassionema sp. the average value of epiphytic diatom abundance in seagrass leaves ranged from 2160.85 – 4649.94 ind/cm². The epiphytic diatom diversity (H') values ranged from 2.53 to 2.72

Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a condition in which the level of glucose in the blood is abnormally high. Hyperglycemia is caused by disturbances in the metabolic system in secreting insulin. Hyperglycemia if left unchecked can cause a disease which is usually called diabetes. Basil (Ocimum x africanum Lour.) and papaya (Carica papaya L.) leaf extracts can reduce blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus because they contain active compounds of flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins which function as anti-diabetics. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the effects of basil and papaya leaf in affecting the level of islet damage, and repairing pancreatic histological damage in hyperglycemic mice. This study used a completely randomized design with 5 treatment groups and 5 replications. Group K(N) as normal control, group K(+) as positive control, group K (-) as negative control, group P 1 (alloxan induced and treated with ethanol extract of basil leaves 24.5 mg/35g BW mice) 14 days oral) , P 2 group (induced by alloxan and treated with papaya leaf ethanol extract 24.5 mg/35 g BW mice (14 days oral). Data on the level of histological damage to the pancreas of hyperglycemic mice were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis method and the Wilcoxon-MannWhitney test at a significant level of 5%. Data histological appearance of the Langerhans were analyzed descriptively.The results showed basil leaf extract and papaya had an effect on the level of damage to the pancreas of mice, basil leaf extract was effective compared to papaya in histological repair of the mice pancreas

Abstract

This study aims to see the effect of giving noni extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) on the quality of spermatozoa of mice (Mus musculus L.). This study was conducted using an experimental method, with a completely randomized design (RAL), 3 treatments with 5 replicates with 15 male mice divided into three treatment groups, namely the control group (P0), the treatment group with a concentration of 0.3 g/BW (P1), and the treatment group with a concentration of 0.6 g/BW (P2) which then the data were analyzed using ANOVA. This research was conducted from March 2 to April 4, 2023. Observations of the effect of giving noni extract were made by making wet preparations of mice sperm and then observing under a microscope. Based on the research conducted, it was found that noni extract had a different effect from each concentration on motility and morphology in sperm. From the research, it can be concluded that the higher the concentration of noni extract given to mice will reduce the quality of sperm in mice However, at a concentration of 0.3 g/BB, it was found that noni had a positive effect on sperm morphology and motility in mice (Mus musculus L).

Abstract

It is thought that the development of the Senjoyo River as a tourist attraction in Semarang Regency will cause changes to the natural ecosystem in the area, one of which is changing the structure of the existing gastropod community. This research is a quantitative analysis research using a survey method that aims to examine the structure of the gastropod community after the development of tourism activities on the Senjoyo River. Gastropod samples were taken from 10 different observation stations along the Senjoyo River, which are located at 7˚22'23"S and 110˚31'37"E. Observation station locations were determined by the purposive random sampling method, based on tourism activity density. The result showed types of gastropods that were found in the Senjoyo River namely, Sulcospira testudinaria, Tarebia granifera, Brotia costula, Thiara scraba, and Melanoides tuberculata with clustered distribution patterns (Id>1). Statistical analysis showed that location affected gastropod abundance (Asymp. Sig of 0.043), with the highest abundance found at station seven (45,11 individuals/m2). So station seven, with sandy and muddy substrate conditions, moderate current speed (0.257 m/s), and rarely found human activity, is the most suitable location to support the survival of gastropods in the Senjoyo River. Furthermore, the gastropod community structure indicates environmental changes at observation stations nine and ten, the locations where the most activities and construction of tourism facilities were found. That was indicated by the low diversity (H’= 0.00-0.01) and evenness (E = 0.00) index of gastropods, and there is dominance by Sulcospira testudinaria (C= 0.98-1.00).

Abstract

Reactive black 5 (RB5) is an azo dye widely used in the textile industry for dyeing fabrics. It is categorized as a recalcitrant dye that is hard to degrade and an environmental pollutant. Therefore, textile waste effluents containing this dye must be treated to remove or degrade the dye, before being released into the environment. One method that can be used to degrade synthetic dyes such as RB5 is to use biological methods, by directly using live fungal cells or using laccase enzymes. Trichoderma asperellum LBKURCC1 is a filamentous fungus isolated from cacao plantation soil in Riau, Indonesia, and it is a laccase enzyme producer. To be able to determine the ability of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 life cultures to decolorize RB5 dye, several RB5 dye removal tests were carried out. Incubation of 50 ppm RB5 with life cultures of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 at room temperature (30°C, pH 6.5) for 24 hours resulted in 22% bioremediation, 3.2% biosorption and 19.1% biodegradation of the RB5 dye.  The results of this study show that the live culture of T.asperellum LBKURCC1 is capable of biodegrading RB5. This is indicated by the degradation of RB5 by extracellular enzymes produced by these filamentous fungi.

Abstract

Seaweed is a leading commodity in the Indonesian fisheries sector. Indonesia is the second largest seaweed-producing country in the world after China. K.alvarezii is a type of seaweed that produces kappa carrageenan which can be used as a raw material in industry, making K.alvarezii seaweed very popular for cultivation. Cultivation of K.alvarezii seaweed has developed widely in Indonesian waters. The success of cultivating K.alvarezii seaweed can be achieved if it is supported by a suitable environment for its growth. One of the environmental aspects that influences the growth of K.alvarezii seaweed is the bottom substrate of the waters. This research aims to analyze the best substrate for the survival rate of brown K.alvarezii seaweed cultivated on a laboratory scale. This research used an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and each treatment was carried out 3 times to obtain 12 experimental units. The treatments tested were different substrates consisting of sand, coral, volcanic rock, and coral sand. The results of the research show that different types of substrate have a real influence on the survival rate of brown K.alvarezii seaweed cultivated on a laboratory scale. Coral substrate gave the best results with a survival rate of 100%, final weight of 20 g, and carrageenan yield value of 26%.
