Abstract

The use of immunostimulants from papaya leaves as a treatment strategy for fish diseases has gained attention in the field of aquaculture. Initial studies have shown that the active compounds in papaya leaves have the potential as immunostimulants to enhance the fish immune system and combat disease infections. Previous studies have revealed that the administration of papaya leaf extracts in fish feed can stimulate immune responses, including activating immune cells such as macrophages and increasing antibody production. The compounds in papaya leaves also exhibit antimicrobial effects that help fight against pathogens causing diseases in fish. Although research findings indicate the potential use of papaya leaf immunostimulants, further studies are needed to understand their mechanisms of action comprehensively. Factors such as effective dosage, optimal administration methods, and their effects on various diseases must be clarified. Safety aspects should also be considered, including potential side effects and residues in fish intended for human consumption. Consideration should also be given to sustainable fish farming practices and the potential environmental impacts of the widespread use of papaya leaf immunostimulants. In conclusion, using immunostimulants from papaya leaves to treat fish diseases shows promising potential. However, further research is required to understand their effects thoroughly, determine the appropriate dosage, evaluate the safety, and consider sustainable aquaculture aspects before their use can be widely recommended in aquaculture practices.

Abstract

This research aimed to know the effect of quail manure on an abundance of Daphnia magna. The research method for D. magna was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four settings, each repeated four times, namely the use of P0 (Control without fertilizer), P1 (Quail manure fertilize 1 g/L), P2 (Quail manure fertilize 3 g/L), P3 (Quail manure fertilize 5 g/L). D. magna was cultured for 15 days in a container with a volume of 3 liters. The updated parameters were abundance of D. magna, mortality of D. magna, and water quality. The results were analyzed using ANOVA analysis. The results showed that the highest abundance was in P2 (3g / L), and the lowest was in P0 (control). Water quality during the research was temperature 21-24°C, pH 7,5-8,4, DO 6,2-7,8 ppm, and ammonia 0-0,25 mg/L.

Abstract

Oxidative stress on zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been evaluated for pH (four levels namely pH 4.5-5.5, 5.5-6.5, 7.5-8.5 and 8.5-9.5) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO 20-30%, 40-50% and 60-70%) in terms of oxygen saturation. Temporally, the exposure for pH levels were maintained from as 1h, 2h, 3h and 4h and for DO, it was (4h, 8h, 12h and 16h. The malondialdehyde (MDA) was used as biomarker of oxidative stress. It was observed that out of all tissues (skeletal muscle, liver, gill and brain) analyzed, zebrafish showed highest stress response in skeletal muscle against both environmental ambiances. In case of pH levels, significant increase in MDA level in skeletal muscle was recorded at pH 4.5-5.5, and the MDA level of skeletal muscle at 2h showed significant increase at this level of pH. Whereas, at DO 20-30% saturation level, skeletal muscle tissue significantly responded at this level of DO saturation and showed the maximum MDA level compared to the other tissues. On analysis for the duration of exposure, it was observed that skeletal muscle of zebrafish showed highest levels of MDA at DO 40-50% O2 saturation for 12h. In conclusion, it has become evident that zebrafish may undergo oxidative stress at pH 4.5-5.5 when exposed for 2hours, similarly, for DO it is 20-30% saturation for 12 hour exposure.

Abstract

This review aims to investigate the impact of betel leaf extract administration in enhancing non-specific immunity in fish within the context of aquaculture. A literature review was conducted to evaluate previous studies, analyze the mechanisms of action of active compounds, and provide practical recommendations for field implementation. The review results indicate that betel leaf extract has antimicrobial potential that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and parasitic agents causing diseases in cultured fish. The administration of this extract also stimulates non-specific immune responses, including increased production of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes. The antioxidant effects of compounds in betel leaves provide protection against oxidative stress, enhancing fish resilience to unfavorable environmental conditions. Despite these positive findings, further research is needed to deeply understand the mechanisms of action of active compounds, taking into account environmental factors in betel leaf extract administration. Integration with other disease management strategies and strict monitoring of environmental safety are crucial aspects of practical implementation. In conclusion, the administration of betel leaf extract can be a promising alternative to enhance fish resistance to diseases in aquaculture. Administering betel leaf extract in feed and water can improve survival rates and egg hatching. Collaboration among researchers, farmers, and other stakeholders is necessary to optimize the practical application of these findings, with the goal of enhancing productivity and sustainability in the aquaculture sector as a whole.Top of Form

Abstract

Cultivation of milkfish in Indonesia plays a central role in the fisheries sector, covering an expansive area of approximately 600,000 hectares and achieving a production of 621,393 tons in 2014. Milkfish-producing regions are distributed across various areas, including Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Java, employing diverse cultivation technologies. Milkfish holds a crucial role in meeting food needs and contributing to the economic well-being of communities. Despite the predominantly traditional cultivation practices, yielding between 500 kg to 1 ton per hectare per year, there are also semi-intensive cultivation methods with yields reaching 3 tons per hectare per year. The high demand for milkfish seeds necessitates optimal water quality and strict supervision, serving as decisive factors in attaining optimal production outcomes. This research aims to acquire knowledge and skills related to milkfish breeding techniques, particularly at the Balai Besar Perikanan Budidaya Air Payau (BBPBAP) in Jepara. Data collection methods involve observation, active participation, and direct interviews. The results of this study indicate that the management of feed, broodstock maintenance, and feed management in milkfish breeding at BBPBAP Jepara are well-executed, supporting the success of milkfish breeding. The implications of this research can contribute positively to the development of milkfish cultivation techniques, focusing on milkfish breeding to achieve optimal production outcomes.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that has the largest archipelago area in the world. Indonesia's vast territorial waters also present major challenges in terms of environmental management. One problem that is getting worse is plastic waste. Over time, plastic waste scattered in the environment will degrade into small particles which are usually called microplastics. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the economically and ecologically important freshwater fish species. This fish is not only an important source of protein for humans, but also plays a role in the balance of the marine ecosystem. Exposure to microplastics in fish can occur in various ways, including through contaminated feed. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of exposure to polystyrene (PS) microplastics in feed on the blood profile of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The treatments given were P1 without exposure to microplastics, P2 with 0.01 mg/0.75 g, P3 with 0.1 mg/0.75 g, and P4 with 1 mg/0.75 g. The parameters measured in the study were blood profiles, including hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, leukocyte differential and survival rate. The results obtained in this study were that hematocrit levels and survival rates had an effect on fish growth, while erythrocyte, leukocyte and leukocyte differential values had no significant effect on the blood profile of Nile fish exposed to polystyrene microplastics.

Abstract

This study investigates the abundance and diversity of bacteria associated with two intertidal seaweeds, Sargassum sp. and Kappaphycus alvarezii, in Ekas Bay. Intertidal zones are dynamic environments where seaweeds and their associated microbial communities play crucial roles in ecological processes. Seaweeds host a variety of bacteria that contribute to nutrient cycling, seaweed health, and overall ecosystem function. The primary variable measured in this study was the bacterial abundance, expressed as Colony Forming Units per milliliter (CFU/mL). The conclusion of these findings has positive implications for the environmental health around the floating raft, base stakes, Sargassum sp. and Kappaphycus alverazii. The absence of harmful bacteria supports the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems and can provide positive benefits for the species inhabiting those areas.
