Abstract

Swamp eel is one of the fishery commodities favored by the community. Swamp eel cultivation activities have not been widely developed due to the lack of feed availability to support cultivation efforts. Instead of using artificial feed, the farmer has used natural feed in the form of earthworms so far. Therefore, in this study, artificial feed and natural feed are combined to stimulate the feed acceptance of the eel. This study determined the proportion between artificial and natural feed on the level of feed consumption of swamp eel. The method used consisted of four treatments: 50% feed + worms (control diet), 75% feed + 25 snails, 50% feed + 50% snails, and 25% feed + snails 75%. The results show that the differences in the proportion of artificial and natural feed did not affect the feed selection, time response, and feed consumption by eel. Therefore, 25% snails and 75% artificial feed are recommended to stimulate the eel's feeding response.

Abstract

Abalone is one of the species of the Gastropoda class. There are 7 types of abalone that are spread throughout Indonesian waters, including Haliotis asinina, H. varia, H. squamata, H. ovina, H. glabra, H. planate and H. crebrisculpta. Abalone Haliotis squamata is one of the abalone species that is cultivated at Balai Perikanan Budidaya Laut (BPBL) Lombok. The abalone breeding technique at BPBL Lombok is carried out massively with a ratio of male and female abalone breeders of 1:3. The success rate of abalone breeding is determined by the level of gonad maturity, water quality, irradiation period as well as the length and weight of the abalone body. Abalone breeding begins with container preparation by adding 300 chlorinated limes (kaporit). Abalone breeders are maintained by placing them in a 300 x 80 x 80 cm fiber tank containing four baskets, three baskets containing female abalones and one basket containing male abalones. The feed given to abalone breeders is Gracilaria sp. and Ulva sp., while the feed for larvae is Nitzchia sp. feed. Abalone breeding begins with breeder selection. Breeders used are those that have mature gonads or gonads that have entered TKG 3 which are marked by gonad size larger than the shell. Abalone breeders must be over 4 cm in size and free from disease and. Abalone breeding is marked by the presence of a fishy smell and cloudy water in the container. The number of eggs produced from mass breeding is 1,041,600 grains.

Abstract

Lake Kelari is located in the Muaro Jambi National Cultural Heritage Area (KCBN) and has ecological and economic value as a habitat for various species of fish. This study aims to identify the biodiversity of the lake, conservation status, global distribution, and fish biodiversity index in the lake, which can be the scientific basis for the establishment of the proclamation pit as an in-situ conservation effort. The method used is a survey method including the collection of primary data through fishing using nets, bubu, and fishing rods in the 2023 rainy season and the 2024 dry season, as well as measuring water quality and habitat character. The results of the study show that the biodiversity of ikhtiofauna in Lake Kelari includes; 13 species, 13 genera and 7 families. The biodiversity index shows medium criteria. Lake Kelari has the potential as an insitu conservation area with the discovery of a species of senggiringan fish (Hemibagrus planicep) which has the status of Data Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List. Most of the species found are consumption fish, and some others are ornamental fish. The riparian vegetation found varied, the water quality was relatively maintained, and the absence of introduced fish showed the natural environment of Lake Kelari. In conclusion, Lake Kelari has medium fish biodiversity index with important conservation and economic value. The implementation of the ban can be a strategic step in maintaining fish populations and supporting the sustainability of the ecosystem and local economy.

Abstract

Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes are vital enzymes in the metabolic processes of fish, playing a crucial role in the detoxification of xenobiotics and the regulation of endogenous compounds. The biotransformation of pollutants, including pesticides, medicines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which build up in aquatic environments, is facilitated by these enzymes, especially those in the CYP1A, CYP2, and CYP3A families. Immunity of fish and their health, can be negatively impacted by metabolic byproducts, which can occasionally be more toxic than the original compounds even though CYP450 activity helps with detoxification. Exposure to pollutants and other environmental stressors can alter the expression and activity of CYP enzymes, which can cause physiological disruptions in fish species. This review explores the key roles of CYP450 enzymes in fish metabolism and health, emphasizing their importance as biomarkers for environmental toxicity and their potential impact on aquatic ecosystems. Assessing the effects of environmental contaminants and creating plans for environmental preservation and fish health management require an understanding of CYP450 mediated metabolic pathways in fish.

Abstract

The Kutaraja Ocean Fishing Port (PPS Kutaraja) is one of the largest fish landing sites in Banda Aceh, playing a significant role in shark fisheries, particularly for thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus). This study aims to describe the thresher shark fishery at PPS Kutaraja, assess the status of its utilization, and provide recommendations for sustainable management. The research was conducted through direct observations, interviews with fishermen and fishery business operators, and secondary data analysis. The results indicate that thresher sharks are primarily caught as bycatch using purse seines and longlines. The shark trade at PPS Kutaraja involves multiple stakeholders, from fishermen and intermediaries (toke bangku) to domestic and international markets. Habitat and ecosystem assessments reveal that seagrass and coral reef ecosystems along the Aceh coast are in moderate condition, while mangrove ecosystems remain relatively well-preserved. The composite evaluation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) for habitat and ecosystem aspects scored 66.67, categorized as "good." However, the lack of data on key shark habitats, such as spawning, nursery, and feeding grounds, highlights the need for further research. To ensure sustainability, ecosystem-based management strategies, including establishing conservation areas and stricter monitoring of shark fishing practices, are recommended. Implementing effective policies will support the long-term sustainability of thresher shark fisheries at PPS Kutaraja.

Abstract

Probiotics are microbes that can modify the bacterial structure in fish digestive systems. Probiotics are used as feed additives and can improve the host's health. As a result, it can help to prevent Aeromonas infection. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of bacteria from the swamp (Bacillus sp. and Streptomyces sp.) on feed in preventing Aeromonas hydrophila infection in striped snakeheads. The study used P0 (control), P1 (Bacillus sp.), P2 (Streptomyces sp.), P3 (Bacillus sp. and Streptomyces sp. combination), each bacterium 10 ml kg-1 feed. Total of bacteria, prevalence, fish growth, survival rate, and water quality are among the variables assessed. The fish survival, fish growth, and feed efficiency in Channa treated with a combination of Bacillus and Streptomyces (P3) were significantly highest among other, resulting of best prevalence 2.38%.

Abstract

Tourism significantly contributes to regional economic growth, especially through the development of natural attractions and supporting facilities. Banyuwangi Regency has strong potential in coastal tourism, with Boom Marina Beach emerging as a leading destination undergoing rapid development. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused fluctuations in tourist visits and heightened competition among destinations. This study explores how tourist attractions and facilities at Boom Marina Beach affect visitor satisfaction, with visiting decisions acting as a mediating factor. A quantitative method using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS was applied. Data were collected from 130 visitors through purposive sampling. The results reveal that tourist attractions and facilities significantly affect visiting decisions and tourist satisfaction. Moreover, visiting decisions mediate the relationship between attractions, facilities, and satisfaction. The study is grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which explains how perceptions of attractions and facilities influence tourist intentions and behaviors. The findings contribute to the theoretical development of tourist behavior models and offer practical implications for destination management. It is recommended that managers improve the quality of attractions and facilities, supported by effective marketing and infrastructure development from the local government. Future research is encouraged to explore additional variables such as destination image and tourist experience to provide deeper insights.

Abstract

Trammel net is a type of gill net. Usually, fishermen operate trammel nets to catch shrimp. Many fishermen build trammel nets traditionally without going through a standard design and construction process. They bought webbing on the market to assemble them into three layers of net and equipped with rope components and buoys, sinker, and selvedge. Meanwhile, to realize the effectiveness of fishing and managing fisheries activities, the government regulates the standard form of trammel net through SNI 01-7237-2006. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the suitability of the standard form of trammel net based on SNI rules. This research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method. The research locations are in three villages which are fishing bases for trammel net fishermen in Kotabaru Waters, namely: Pantai Village; Salino Village; and Sungai Pasir Village. The results from the three trammel net sample sizes: small; medium and large have scores of 89%; 95%; and 95% which are in the very suitable category.
