Abstract

Mangrove crabs are a type of crustacean that lives in mangrove and estuary ecosystems. one of the freshwater fishery products that have high economic value that are often caught in Lambur Luar Village using trap fishing gear. Purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of mangrove crabs caught using traps in Lambur Luar Village, Jambi Province. This study was conducted from February 1-16, 2025. The research method used was a census, with data collection techniques using probability sampling. The data observed included the type of mangrove crab, weight, carapace length, carapace width, and sex. Differences in weight, length, and carapace width of mangrove crabs were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan's test at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there were three species of mangrove crabs caught, namely Scylla serrata, Scylla olivacea, and Scylla tranquebarica. After ANOVA test and Duncan's further test, it was found that the carapace length between Scylla serrata, Scylla olivacea, and Scylla tranquebarica was significantly different (p≤0.05). while the carapace width and weight were not significantly different (p>0.05). Variations sex ratio in the Scylla serrata species were (0.78:0.22) and Scylla tranquebarica (0.67:0.33), indicating that the male population was more dominant in these two species. While the Scylla olivacea species, the sex ratio was almost balanced, namely (0.51:0.49). The conclusion of this study is that the characteristics of mangrove crabs differ between males and females, and there are significant differences in carapace length between mangrove crab species found in Lambur Luar Village.

Abstract

Capture fisheries in inland waters play a vital role in supporting food security and the economy of the community, including fishermen in Lake Kerinci who utilize cast nets as an economical and effective fishing gear. However, scientific information on catch composition, catch rates, and technical factors influencing the productivity of this gear is still limited. The purpose of this study was to analyze catch composition, catch rates, and factors influencing catch yields from cast nets in Lake Kerinci, Kerinci Regency, Jambi. The study was conducted from June 29 – August 7, 2025, using a survey method through participatory observation and interviews with 17 fishermen using cast nets, with a total of 34 data collection trips. Data collected included fish species, weight and number of catches, fishing duration, number of casts, and gear dimensions, then analyzed descriptively and using multiple linear regression. The results showed that the catch composition consisted of 162 tilapia (84.49% of the total weight) and 39 Nile tilapia (15.51%). The average catch rate of the throw nets reached 1.74 kg/hour, with the highest value for tilapia at 2.94 kg/hour. Regression analysis results showed that fishing duration, number of throws, and gear dimensions had no significant effect on catch results (p>0.05). It can be concluded that the throw nets in Lake Kerinci predominantly catch tilapia, while technical factors of the gear are not the main determinants of catch results. Environmental conditions and fish stock availability are suspected to have a greater influence on catch results.

Abstract

Mangroves have an important role in supporting community welfare through various ecosystem services. However, in July 2022 there was mangrove damage in Poka Village, which was caused by exposure to waste from pipeline leaks during bridge construction. This incident damaged a mangrove area of 1,394 m2. The absence of market value for ecosystem services means that their benefits were often overlooked in economic decision-making. For this reason, incentive schemes such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), where beneficiaries compensate providers, were considered necessary to reward the role of environmental service providers. The purpose of this study was to describe the potential implementation of PES for mangrove rehabilitation. The study observed the damaged mangrove areas and interviewed 61 respondents. For data analysis, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was used to obtain the value of community’s willingness to pay (WTP) for mangrove rahabilitation. The results showed that the average value of willingness to pay was IDR 39,825.40 per household per month. As a concrete step, this value could be used as the initial amount of incentives in the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). Providers could be established or utilize existing institutional structures at the local level. Furthermore, the provider would make monthly or quarterly reports on the use of funds, the results of activities, and the condition of the mangrove ecosystem, which could be accessed by beneficiaries. Therefore, the implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Poka Village had strong prospects to encourage the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem services.

Abstract

Intensive cultivation of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) requires good water quality management to support the growth, health, and survival of the shrimp. This research was conducted at PT. Panen Berkat Sejahtera Bersama (PBSB), East Lombok, for 25 days (April 9–May 3, 2025) with the aim of determining the control techniques for ammonia (NH₃) and nitrite (NO₂) in the cultivation media. The method used was descriptive with primary data collection through observation, active participation, interviews, and field documentation, as well as secondary data from company archives and related literature. The water quality management techniques applied included siphoning the pond bottom, waste disposal through a central drain system, and the use of Aquastar Pond probiotics. The water quality parameters observed included ammonia, nitrite, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, and pH. The results showed that ammonia levels were stable at 0.0000 mg/L and nitrite was in the range of 0.007–0.059 mg/L, remaining within safe limits for whiteleg shrimp. DO, salinity, and pH parameters were also within optimal ranges, supporting metabolism, osmoregulatory balance, and nitrifying microbial activity. The application of siphoning techniques, waste disposal, and probiotics has proven effective in maintaining stable water quality and creating optimal cultivation conditions for the growth and health of vannamei shrimp.

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila is a pathogenic bacterium that frequently attacks, causes death, and harms catfish farmers. The continuous use of antibiotics for disease control has been shown to have negative impacts on pathogenic bacterial resistance, antibiotic residues in fish, aquatic environmental pollution, food safety, and causes allergies in human consumers. The use of phytopharmaceuticals is known to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable because they contain active compounds that are more easily degraded, thus leaving no synthetic antibiotic residues in fish tissues and water. This research aimed to determine the effect of black turmeric (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb) rhizome ethanol extract on treating A. hydrophila infection in catfish. Fish were raised for 14 days. For the first seven days, they were kept under normal conditions. On day 7, the fish were infected with A. hydrophila. On day 8, the diseased fish were immersed in black turmeric rhizome ethanol extract. The experiment used group randomized design with treatment of control or without black turmeric extract (BT0), 35 mg/L, 40 mg/L and 45 mg/L black turmeric extract (BT35, BT40, and BT45). The result showed that treatments were not significantly different (P>0,05) on recovery rate, survival rate, and WBC, but significantly different in hematocrit percentage (P<0,05). The highest of fish recovery rate and survival rate (100%) were obtained in BT40. This research concluded that immersion dosage of 40 mg/L black turmeric rhizome ethanol extract could treating catfish infected with A. hydrophila.

Abstract

Cultivation activities often experience obstacles due to bacterial disease attacks, one of which is caused by P. fluorescens bacteria. Commercial treatment efforts include the use of antibiotics, but this can cause bacterial resistance. Therefore, an alternative treatment that is more environmentally friendly but can still be used as medicine is needed, namely the use of natural ingredients such as jackfruit (A. heterophyllus) leaves. This study aims to determine the effect of crude jackfruit (A. heterophyllus) leaf extract on P. fluorescens bacteria in vitro. This study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments, 2 controls, and 3 replications. The control treatment consisted of a positive control (Tetracycline 30 ppm), and a negative control (only using disc paper), as well as 5 different extract dose treatments, namely treatment A (60 ppm), treatment B (120 ppm), treatment C (180 ppm), treatment D (240 ppm) and treatment E (300 ppm). The results of the study showed that the use of crude jackfruit (A. heterophyllus) leaf extract affected P. fluorescens bacteria. The relationship between the use of crude jackfruit (A. heterophyllus) leaf extract with different doses and the resulting inhibition zone showed a quadratic regression pattern with the equation y = -0.0001x2 + 0.05x + 6.327.

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the culture technique of Chaetoceros calcitrans as a natural feed and its role in supporting the maintenance of the brown mussel (Mytilopsis adamsi). The microalga was chosen because it provides essential nutrients such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates that are important for the growth of aquatic organisms. The work took place over one month, from May 6 to June 4, 2025, at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), North Lombok. The culture followed a stepwise approach, starting with sterilization of equipment and media, the addition of KW21 fertilizer and silicate, inoculation with five-day-old seed cultures, daily maintenance, and cell density monitoring. The observations showed that C. calcitrans density rose steadily from the first day and peaked on day 5 at 4,020,000 cells/ml, before declining by day 7. This trend reflects the typical growth phases of microalgae, from lag and exponential to stationary and death phases. Feeding trials involved offering C. calcitrans to brown mussels twice daily at a dose of 500 ml each time. The results indicated consistent weight gain across all replicates, although growth levels varied among treatments. Overall, the study confirms that stepwise culture with appropriate nutrient supply and water quality management can produce C. calcitrans at optimal densities. Its application as a natural feed also provides measurable benefits for the growth of brown mussels in culture systems.

Abstract

Color enhancement in ornamental fish is an essential quality parameter that directly influences market value and consumer preference. Natural pigments derived from marine resources, such as seaweed, offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic color enhancers. This study aimed to determine the effect of seaweed meal (Eucheuma cottonii) on the color brightness of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Goldfish used had an initial weight of 10.12 ± 0.06 g and an initial length of 5.08 ± 0.02 cm. Fish were fed using the ad libitum method three times daily with four feed treatments: P1 (Control), P2 (4 g seaweed meal), P3 (8 g seaweed meal), and P4 (12 g seaweed meal). The study was conducted for 45 days to evaluate growth performance and color characteristics. A completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications was applied. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Results showed that the addition of seaweed meal significantly influenced the red hue variable in goldfish. Brightness showed no significant difference among treatments, with the highest value in P4 (55.88%) and the lowest in P3 (52.68%). The red hue differed significantly, with the highest value in P3 (16.96%) and the lowest in P1 (9.13%). The yellow hue showed no significant difference, with values ranging from 36.68% (P1) to 38.43% (P2). Overall, supplementation with 8 g of seaweed meal effectively enhanced the visual red hue of goldfish.

Abstract

Aquaculture continues to expand globally, requiring natural and sustainable feed additives to enhance fish growth and meat quality. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii) leaf extract contains diverse bioactive compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, flavonoids, polyphenols, and terpenoids, which possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, and growth-promoting properties. This review aims to summarize scientific evidence on the effectiveness of cinnamon leaf extract in improving growth performance and meat quality of farmed fish. A systematic literature review was conducted by analyzing 41 scientific publications obtained from Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Elsevier. The reviewed studies consistently showed that supplementation of cinnamon leaf extract or powder at doses ranging from 0.25–1% in fish feed enhances growth parameters such as Specific Growth Rate, feed efficiency, protein retention, and biomass in species including barramundi, Nile tilapia, common carp, and striped catfish. In addition, the extract significantly improves meat quality by reducing body and meat fat content, enhancing texture, increasing protein levels, and improving sensory attributes such as taste and fillet color. These improvements are attributed to the metabolic, antioxidant, and lipid-modulating mechanisms of the phytochemicals present in cinnamon leaves. Overall, cinnamon leaf extract demonstrates strong potential as a natural, environmentally friendly feed additive that supports both productivity and product quality in modern aquaculture systems.
