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.

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.
