Abstract

Natural feed is fish feed that has the form of microscopic organisms found in waters. Commonly used natural feeds are phytoplankton, zooplankton, protozoa, microcrustaceans, microscopic invertebrates, and others. The need for natural feed is growing in line with the increasing fisheries cultivation efforts. Phytoplankton has a very important role in waters, its ecological function as a primary producer and the beginning of the food chain causes phytoplankton to often be used as a measure of the fertility of waters. One of the phytoplankton that is abundant in waters because of its ability to survive even in extreme conditions and has a fat content is Nitzschia sp., a member of the Bacillariophyceae class. Nitzschia sp. plays an important role as a primary producer and is widely used as natural feed for marine organism larvae such as crustaceans, bivalves, and fish. The purpose of this study was to determine the laboratory-scale Nitzschia sp. natural feed culture technique to support cultivation activities. This research was conducted from March to April 2024 at the Marine Aquaculture Center (BPBL) Lombok, West Sekotong, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The research methods used are descriptive methods and field observations (surveys). The results that the laboratory scale Nitzschia sp. natural feed culture technique includes equipment sterilization activities, culture preparation, seed distribution, density calculation and harvesting. Factors that affect the growth of Nitzschia sp. are culture media that are free from contamination, initial stocking density, light intensity of 2000-5000 Lux, water quality (pH, salinity, and temperature).

Abstract

The increase in vaname production is carried out to meet market demand which continues to increase from year to year, so that various strategies are carried out in vaname cultivation. Besides of feed quality and disease prevention, water quality management is an effort to regulate and manipulate environmental conditions so that optimal range can supports shrimp growth, until good shrimp quality is obtained. Location of the activity at PT Bumi Harapan Jaya where has produced a lot of shrimp with the best quality, so it is necessary to know how water quality management is applied there. The method is carried out descriptively, namely describing what is done according to conditions in the field. The results of activities in managing water quality are starting from the preparation of ponds, seeds and good water sources. Water quality management during vaname shrimp rearing activities applies measurements of physical, chemical and biological parameters, where physical parameters such as temperature and brightness are maintained in the range of 27-30°C and 30-45 cm. In addition, the pH remains in the normal range of 7.7-8 and salinity 30-34 ppt. Carrying out regular water quality checks is the key to good water quality management, in addition to that, regular siphoning is also necessary to avoid high ammonia content in the culture water.

Abstract

Silver pompano is a high-value fish, yet the cost of commercial feed is a major challenge for fish farmers. This study explores the addition of turmeric extract to commercial feed as a potential strategy to improve feeding efficiency and reduce production costs. Conducted at the Lombok Marine Aquaculture Center, the 50-day experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatment levels (control, 10 ml, 15 ml, and 20 ml of turmeric extract per kg feed) and three replications, totaling 12 experimental units. Parameters measured included growth performance indicators like specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein and fat retention, and water quality. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan tests to assess treatment effects. Results showed that turmeric extract significantly improved SGR, FCR, protein retention, and fat retention, although it had no significant impact on absolute weight, length, survival rate, or feeding efficiency. The optimal treatment was 20 ml/kg of turmeric extract, yielding an SGR of 4.92%, FCR of 2.48, protein retention of 18.64%, and fat retention of 22.37%, likely due to the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids, and phenols.

Abstract

Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is one of the fisheries commodities in great demand because it has an attractive physique and relatively high economic value. The increasing market demand for male Betta means a method is needed to produce male offspring en masse. This research aimed to determine the effect of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) solution on the male sex ratio of Betta by immersion of larvae in different concentrations. This research used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD), which included four treatments with three replications, namely control treatment, P2 treatment with a concentration of 1.5 ml/l, P3 treatment with a concentration of 3 ml/l, and P4 treatment with a concentration of 6 ml/l. The data obtained was analyzed using the ANOVA method. If the data analysis showed a significant effect, it was carried out using Duncan's advanced test. The research showed that the treatment applied had a real influence on the percentage of male Betta but did not significantly affect the survival rate. The highest sex percentage value for Betta was found in treatment P4 (6 ml/l), which was 77%.

Abstract

The respiratory system of fish is particularly susceptible to parasitic infections and diseases that can cause significant histopathological changes. This article discusses the adaptation of fish's respiratory system to environmental stresses caused by parasites and pathogens, as well as the histopathological changes that occur in response to infection. Some of the major changes observed include hyperplasia, hypertrophy, necrosis, and edema of the tissues in the gills, which can affect the respiratory function of the fish. In addition, granuloma formation and increased mucus production were also noted as adaptive responses to parasitic infections. Although some histopathological changes can improve the fish's body defenses, the tissue damage that occurs as a result of chronic infections can lead to serious impaired respiratory function and decrease the survival of fish. Understanding the mechanisms of adaptation and histopathological changes is very important for fish health management, especially in aquaculture, in order to reduce the negative impact of diseases and increase fish productivity.
