Abstract

Intensive observation of gastropods, every March from the year 2008 to the year 2012, was carried out to document some indicators of gastropod extinction. The purposive sampling technic was used in this work. The physicochemical parameters of its habitat were also monitored during every sampling done. It was found that the intertidal substrate consist of sand, while the habitat parameters were more than 5,6 mg/L dissolved oxygen, pH around 7,0-7,2, salinity 30,2-32,2 ppt, temperature 28,6-29,60C, the visibility 100%. The number of species, the number of found gastropods, the abundance, and the maximum shell size of found gastropods showed decreasing from year to year, while routine collecting by the visitor and the marine organism shell collector, and the disturbance by the fisherman activities occurred. This indication showed a tendency for gastropods extinction.

Abstract

Mangroves are a unique ecosystem that has an important role both bio-physically and socio-economically. Unfortunately, this ecosystem has suffered damage due to various forms of unwise use. Alternatively, the use of mangroves for ecotourism is often seen as more environmentally friendly and sustainable. On the other hand, some factors limit the success of mangrove ecotourism management. One of the most important factors is the feasibility of the mangrove itself as a capital for ecotourism. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of mangroves in two villages on Bengkalis Island as ecotourism resources and to analyze their suitability as an ecotourism attraction. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews in Kuala Alam and Pematang Duku Village in Bengkalis District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The feasibility is analyzed using the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) based on parameters that have been set by the TSI. The mangroves in Kuala Alam have an average cover thickness of 337 m, with a density of 300 trees/ha, which are composed of nine tree species. Mangroves in Pematang Duku have an average cover thickness of 948 m, with a density of 500 trees/ha, consisting of 14 tree species. The mangrove fauna found in the two villages is generally the same, as with the tidal pattern. The mangroves in Kuala Alam Village achieve a score of 1.75 which means they do not have tourism suitability (TSI<2) while mangroves in Pematang Duku achieve a score of 2.38 which meet the criteria to develop mangrove ecotourism (TSI>2).

Abstract

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andrews.) is one of the plantation crops that has a high selling price, namely wet vanilla IDR 200,000-300,000/kg, regular quality dry vanilla around 1-3 million/kg, and export quality reaching 5-7 million/kg. The opportunity for farmers to develop vanilla commodities in Indonesia is very large, but limited planting materials still hamper it. In-vitro propagation is one technique that can be used to overcome the problem of vanilla propagation in Indonesia. This research aimed to determine the interaction of BAP and coconut water on the growth of vanilla nodal explants in vitro. The method used in this research was a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a combination of Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and coconut water. The BAP concentration consists of 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, and 2 mg/L. Coconut water has 0%, 15%, and 30% levels. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and further tested with the DMRT test at a confidence level of 95%. The results showed an interaction between BAP and coconut water on the growth of vanilla explants. The combination treatment of 1 mg/L BAP + 15% coconut water showed the best results with the fastest response time of 8.76+1.53 DAP, average shoot length 2.84±0.70 cm/explant and average root length 0.75±0.07 cm/explant

Abstract

Seaweed algae is a type of marine plant classified as benthic macroalgae and mostly lives on the bottom of the water. Algae are seaweeds that live in the sea and belong to the thallophyta group. Seaweed contains many nutrients such as carbohydrates, vitamins, fats, minerals, and others that have great potential for development in various industries. As a maritime country, Indonesia has potential coastal and marine natural resources that can be utilized to improve the welfare of coastal communities. Seaweed is one of the many coastal and marine natural resources found along the coast of the Indonesian oceans. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is one of the seaweed-producing areas. One of the areas that can be seen is seaweed, especially wild seaweed, in the Senggigi area, Batu Layar District, West Lombok, precisely on Kerandangan Beach. This study aimed to analyze the types of seaweed and the phytochemical content of seaweed growing on Kerandangan Beach, Senggigi, West Lombok. This study uses the purposive sampling method by taking samples that are considered representative of the research location, which is done by taking samples randomly based on the boundaries of the area that has been determined. The results of this study are There are several types of seaweed in Kerandangan Beach Borgesenia forbesii, Corallina, Gelidium, Caulerpa taxifolia, Padina, Chondrus crispus, Sargassum cristaefolium, Galaxaura rugosa, Acanthopora spicifera, Ulva intestinalis, Halimeda opuntia, and Turbinaria decurrens. This research concludes that the type with the highest antioxidant content is Padina sp., which is 81.31% and has a chlorophyll content of 14.39 mg/L.

Abstract

Moringa leaves can be used as an herbal plant in fish growth to prevent and treat bacterial infections. This study aims to determine the effect of fermented moringa leaves through feed on blood glucose in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). This research was conducted from September to November 2023 at the Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Riau University. The method used is an experimental method using a completely randomized design with 4 (four) treatments and 3 (three) replicates; the treatment dose of fermented moringa leaves is T0 (control), T1 (10 g/kg feed), T2 (15 g/kg feed), and P3 (20 g/kg feed). The catfish measured 5.00 ± 1.00 cm and weighed 4.00 ± 0.50 g, reared in an 80 L tank at a stocking density of 1 fish / 4 L water. The maintenance was carried out for 60 days, and blood glucose observations were made at the beginning (H-1), day 30 (H-30), day 60 (H-60), and post-challenge test (H-75). The results showed that adding fermented moringa leaves to the diet did not affect the blood glucose of the catfish (p>0.05). This indicates that moringa leaves can keep the fish in normal condition after being challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria

Abstract

The case of malnutrition in Indonesia is still one of the problems that the government must resolve. This is because, in recent years, cases of malnutrition among the Indonesian population, especially babies and children, have still occurred in several areas. The problem, especially stunting, in Indonesia is a national concern. The stunting reduction target for 2024 is 14%, while 2022 is still 24%. The Indonesian government has made various efforts to deal with stunting but has been unable to reduce it significantly. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is providing complementary foods for toddlers. Therefore, it is necessary to process food that has high nutritional content. One of the essential nutrients needed by the human body is protein. The urgency of this research is food processing in the form of cookies to prevent stunting, especially in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. Processed cookies are very important for toddlers to consume to fulfill optimal nutritional requirements. This research aims to make or process cookies made from milkfish (Chanos chanos) with the addition of Moringa oleifera leaves to overcome the problem of malnutrition, especially stunting, especially in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan. This research aligns with the Regional Government's work program, the Regional School Children's Nutrition Program Plus (ProGasDa Plus). ProGasDa Plus is an effort to increase the nutritional intake given to students by providing nutritionally balanced additional food, accompanied by education on balanced nutrition, preventing worms, and providing supplements. Complementary foods will be analyzed proximately to see the nutritional content contained in the cookies
