Abstract

Water quality is a key factor in the cultivation of snakehead fish (Channa striata) because it can influence the level of physiological stress that impacts the health and growth of the fish. Three cultivation systems commonly used to manage water quality sustainably are the green water system, biofloc, and aquaponics. All three have different approaches to recycling waste and maintaining the balance of the cultivation environment. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the three systems in maintaining water quality and reducing physiological stress in snakehead fish. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and three replications. The parameters observed included levels of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved oxygen (DO), and blood glucose levels as an indicator of stress. The results showed that the biofloc system produced the lowest blood glucose level (54 mg/dL), as well as the lowest nitrite and nitrate concentrations compared to the other treatments. Meanwhile, the biofloc system green water produces ammonia and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, but biofloc is the most stable in maintaining water quality and the health of snakehead fish.

Abstract

Aquaculture has become an essential contributor to global food security, yet its rapid expansion presents significant challenges, including disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, and feed inefficiency. Biotechnology offers transformative solutions across the entire aquaculture value chain ranging from upstream breeding and health management to downstream processing and product safety. This review examines the strategic role of biotechnological innovations in enhancing sustainability, productivity, and resilience in aquaculture systems. Key upstream applications include selective breeding, marker-assisted selection (MAS), recombinant DNA vaccines, and probiotic-supplemented feeds, all of which have demonstrated substantial improvements in growth rates, feed conversion, and disease resistance. In midstream operations, molecular diagnostics (e.g., qPCR, LAMP) and enzyme-assisted processing technologies ensure product quality and safety. Downstream, innovations such as biosensor-based cold chain monitoring, value-added probiotic fish products, and DNA-based traceability cater to evolving consumer demands and regulatory standards. The integration of emerging tools—such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, RNA interference, metagenomics, and nanotechnology—further strengthens the aquaculture sector's capacity to adapt to climate stress and global market needs. Overall, this review highlights biotechnology as a pivotal enabler of sustainable intensification in aquaculture and underscores the need for policy support, technological accessibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration to realize its full potential.

Abstract

Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS) is one of the bacterial diseases that attacks and causes mass death of nile tilapia. Disease control in fish farming using synthetic antibiotics has caused problems in aquaculture, such as bacterial resistance to antibiotics, drug residues in fish, and water pollution. Therefore, alternative measures to control MAS that are safe and environmentally friendly, such as the application of immonostimulant that use organic ingredients, are needed. This research aims to determine potency of immunostimulation of nile tilapia trough feeding of synbiotic feed namely prebiotic Eleutherine bulbosa powder (Ebp) and probiotic containing Lactobacillus casei and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as for prevention MAS disease. The fish were reared for 21 days, in reared for the first 14 days, the fish were given synbiotic feed then for the next 7 days they were given feed without synbiotics. The fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila on day 15th. Experimental design used was completely randomized design with four treatments: 0 g Ebp and 0 ml probiotics in 1 kg of feed (synbiotic free feed), 7.5 g, 10 g, and 12.5 g Ebp each with 15 ml probiotics in 1 kg of feed. The results showed that feeding the fish with synbiotic feed, especially the treatment Ebp12.5, give significantly different results on parameters prevalence, fish recovery, survival rate of the fish test. This research concluded that treatment of Ebp 12.5 was the best dosage of immunostimulant to prevent MAS disease in nile tilapia.

Abstract

The purse seine fishery in Sibolga plays a vital role in fish production but faces challenges regarding compliance with licensed fishing ground regulations. Non-compliance, driven by economic pressure and declining fish stocks, threatens resource sustainability and fishermen’s welfare. This study aimed to analyze fishermen’s perceptions and compliance levels regarding the use of licensed fishing areas and their relationship to regulatory enforcement. The research was conducted from January-March 2024 at Sibolga Archipelago Fishing Port, North Sumatra, one of the main landing bases for purse seine vessels. Data were collected from 115 respondents, consisting of vessel captains and mates, using structured questionnaires and direct interviews. Observations and secondary data from fisheries institutions supported the primary data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test to determine differences in perceptions and compliance among fishing groups categorized by vessel tonnage and fishing zones. The results showed that fishermen’s perceptions of potential fishing grounds and fish resource availability were relatively uniform across groups, indicating a shared view that fishing effort continues to expand to secure catches. In contrast, perceptions of VMS usage differed significantly, with the 30–100 GT small pelagic purse seine group acknowledging its role in detecting violations. Compliance levels also varied, with the 30–100 GT small pelagic purse seine operating in <12-mile zones showing the lowest compliance. It is concluded that stricter enforcement, effective monitoring, and targeted empowerment programs are necessary to enhance compliance and ensure sustainable fisheries management in Sibolga.

Abstract

The cultivation of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) using a biofloc system is an aquaculture technology that integrates waste management and the production of natural feed in situ, thereby enhancing productivity efficiently. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of EM4 probiotic application in a biofloc system on the growth and survival rate of catfish under different stocking densities. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four stocking density treatments: P1 (30 fish/30 L), P2 (40 fish/30 L), P3 (50 fish/30 L), and P4 (60 fish/30 L), each with three replications. Observed parameters included absolute weight and length growth, floc content, hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, differential leukocytes and water quality parameters. The treatment P4 showed the most notable effects, with a final absolute weight gain of 11.66 grams and an absolute length increase of 8.11 cm. Furthermore, the probiotic addition had a significant impact on erythrocyte levels and differential leukocyte counts. In contrast, the use of probiotics in the biofloc system did not result in significant differences in hematocrit levels, total leukocyte counts, or biofloc volume.

Abstract

Aquatic animals play a significant role in bioremediation processes in aquatic environments through their natural activities, such as filtering particles, aerating water, and nutrient cycling. This study aims to review the use of aquatic animals as natural biofilters in aquaculture systems, highlighting their efficiency and the supporting role of microbial technology. The method used is a literature review from 24 relevant articles published between 2015 and 2024. Results show that species such as goldfish, catfish, and eels can reduce organic waste, regulate plankton composition, and enhance oxygen levels. Moreover, the integration of probiotics and biotechnologies such as microbial fuel cells, bioaugmentation, and biostimulation improves pollutant degradation and water quality. The implications of these findings suggest that aquatic animal-based bioremediation is a promising and environmentally friendly approach to sustainable aquaculture, reducing reliance on antibiotics and chemical disinfectants while supporting ecological balance and animal health.

Abstract

Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is a high economic commodity that has euryhaline properties. The maintenance of barramundi larvae is quite crucial in its cultivation efforts. This study aims to determine the survival rate of barramundi during maintenance at the Balai Besar Riset Budidaya Laut dan Penyuluhan Perikanan (BBRBLPP) Gondol, Bali. The activity lasted for 35 days, observing the parameters of larvae development, type and variety of feed, and water quality. The feed used consisted of natural feed such as Rotifera sp., Nanochloropsis sp., and Artemia sp., as well as artificial feed in the form of PSP and KAIO 3. Feeding was carried out gradually according to the age of larvae with adjusted frequencies and doses. The results showed that larvae showed progressive morphological and behavioral development from day 0 to day 27. The survival rate achieved was 79% of the total 40,000 larvae released, far exceeding the SNI standard (20%). Water quality during maintenance was within the optimal range. Additional efforts such as adding probiotic, daily siphoning, and water changes contributed to successful rearing. These results demonstrate that the combination of good feed and optimal water quality management significantly influences the success of barramundi larval cultivation. This study provides an important foundation for the development of efficient and sustainable large-scale barramundi cultivation.

Abstract

The improvement of fish immunity is a critical factor in successful aquaculture. In recent years, the use of garlic (Allium sativum) as an immunostimulant has attracted researchers and farmers' interest in enhancing fish's health and disease resistance. This abstract discusses an overview of the use of garlic as an immunostimulant in aquaculture. Garlic is widely known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunostimulant properties. Several studies have evaluated the effects of garlic supplementation on various species of cultured fish. The results have shown that the administration of garlic in fish feed can enhance immune responses, such as increased immune enzyme activity and antibody production. Furthermore, active components in garlic, such as allicin and diallyl sulfide, have been proven effective against fish pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. However, garlic as an immunostimulant in aquaculture still requires further research. Factors such as the appropriate dosage, interactions with farming conditions, and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms must be considered. To optimise the use of garlic, further research is required to explore optimal dosages, interactions with environmental factors, and a better understanding of its effects on fish immune responses. In conclusion, garlic as an immunostimulant in aquaculture shows promising potential. The oral administration of garlic extract through the fish feed is capable of preventing infections by Aeromonas sp. and Aeromonas hydrophila in fish species such as Tawes, Catfish, Dumbo catfish, and Nile tilapia, while also enhancing non-specific immunity, such as increased total hematocrit, total haemoglobin, total erythrocytes, and phagocytic activity.
