Abstract

Aquaculture plays a vital role in meeting the global demand for animal protein, yet the dependency on expensive imported feed ingredients remains a significant challenge. Optimizing the use of local feed ingredients is a strategic approach to enhance sustainability and cost-efficiency in fish farming. This research aims to optimize the composition of local feed ingredients to achieve 30% protein content in farmed fish feed. The formulation involves rice bran, corn bran, fish meal, and tofu dregs, selected based on local availability and protein content. The methodology includes analysis of the protein content of raw materials, formulation testing, and physical evaluation of feed. The results show that the pellets produced have nutritional quality that meets the target, good physical stability, and cost efficiency of up to 40% compared to commercial feed. This research makes a significant contribution in supporting the sustainability of the fish farming industry and reducing dependence on imported raw materials.

Abstract

Aquatic animal health management is a critical aspect of maintaining the sustainability and productivity of aquaculture systems. The increasing complexity of aquatic ecosystems and the challenges posed by the emerging diseases necessitate innovative approaches for effective health management. Molecular medicine necessitates the integration and analysis of genetic, molecular, cellular, and clinical data, posing a unique set of problems to bioinformatics. Omics technologies give researchers the tools they help to examine differences in DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biological components within and between different species. Bioinformatics is indispensable in the field of fish health as it enables a deeper understanding of the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors that affect fish well-being. This review explores the application of bioinformatics in understanding, monitoring, and managing the health of aquatic organisms.

Abstract

Bengkulu City has abundant marine resources, leading in marine capture fisheries volume and value among districts. However, its fishermen remain impoverished due to overfishing, unpredictable weather, and illegal fishing by large vessels, which reduce small-scale fishermen's catches and welfare. This study aims to analyze the income exchange rate of small-scale fishermen's ladders in Bengkulu City and the factors that affect it. Respondents are 100 small-scale fishermen spread across Bengkulu City selected by accidental sampling. Data analyzed using quantitative methods and using SPSS. The results showed that the Income structure of small-scale fisherman households in Bengkulu City consists of income on a fishery by percentage as 80.30% and non fishery income amounting to 19.70% of total income, which is IDR 951,675/week. The consumption expenditure pattern of small-scale fishing households in Bengkulu City consists of expenditure for food by percentage as 51.41% while expenditure for non-food as much as 48.59% of total expenditure, which is IDR 962,230/week. The fishermen's household income exchange rate in Bengkulu is 0.98 < 1, indicating that they cannot fully meet their basic needs and remain relatively poor. The variables of age, fishing hours, catch variations, fishing experience and boat size had a significant effect on the fishermen's household income exchange rate in Bengkulu City. In contrast, the fisherman fisherman education variable did not have a considerable effect on the fishermen's household income exchange rate in Bengkulu City.

Abstract

Kasiwa Fish Landing Base (PPI) in Mamuju, West Sulawesi, is a center of fisheries activity that plays an important role in supporting the capture fisheries sector. This research aims to analyze the efficiency of unloading fish catches and the factors that influence it. The method used in this research was purposive sampling, with respondents consisting of active fishermen and port management staff. The aim of this research is to evaluate the duration of the catch unloading process at the Kasiwa Fish Landing Base (PPI) located in Mamuju, West Sulawesi. As the fishing industry advances, the importance of efficiency in unloading procedures becomes increasingly significant to boost productivity and reduce losses. This research uses an observational method with measurements of demolition time carried out over a certain period of time, as well as quantitative data analysis to identify factors that influence the duration of demolition. This includes the type of fish, volume of catch, and weather conditions at the time of unloading. The results show that the time required for disassembly ranges from 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the variables involved. It is hoped that these findings can provide suggestions for fisheries industry players to improve operational efficiency at PPI Kasiwa and become a reference for further research in the field of fisheries and marine product processing.

Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the bacteria that can attack whiteleg shrimp and cause Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) or Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) in shrimp. One alternative that can be used is the use of seaweed-based immunostimulants, namely k-carrageenan. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of k-carrageenan mixed in feed with different doses on increasing the immune system of whiteleg shrimp infected with AHPND. This study was conducted for 60 days with an experimental method in the form of a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 3 replications, namely, P1 (Positive Control): Commercial Feed + Vibrio parahaemolyticus Infection; P2 (Negative Control): Commercial Feed + 0.9% NaCl Infection; P3: Commercial Feed + Kappa-carrageenan 8 g / kg + Vibrio parahaemolyticus Infection; P4: Commercial Feed + Kappa-carrageenan 10 g/kg + Vibrio parahaemolyticus Infection; P5: Commercial Feed + Kappa-carrageenan 12 g/kg + Vibrio parahaemolyticus Infection. The results of this study indicate that the addition of 12 g/kg of k-carrageenan to the feed affects the survival rate and immune system of whiteleg shrimp infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Abstract

Abalone is a seafood commodity with high economic value, because it is a food that is rich in protein and has aesthetic value in its shell. Market demand continues to increase in several Asian countries. The majority of the abalone industry still relies on natural products, resulting in continued exploitation of abalone. Abalone cultivation is the right choice to prevent extinction due to exploitation. One of the cultivation activities is raising abalone seeds, so this activity aims to understand the management of raising abalone seeds (Haliotis squamata) so that they produce quality seeds. This activity was carried out from March 13th until May 6th 2024 at BPBL Lombok, Sekotong. Data collection techniques use secondary data and primary data. Abalone seed rearing management includes several stages, including preparation of rearing tanks, namely cleaning fiber tubs and sterilizing the tubs, spreading seeds 1-2 cm in size, 2 months old with a density of 500 fish/basket, management of feeding Gracilaria sp., Sargassum sp. and Ulva sp. given ad libitum, the results of measuring the growth of abalone seeds have increased with absolute weight growth of 2.87 gr, absolute length growth of 0.59 cm, and SGR growth of 1.04 % per day, as well as seed SR value of 95.7 %, water quality management and checking water quality parameters during maintenance and handling pests that can attack abalone seeds.

Abstract

The barramundi, also known as Asian sea bass, has the ability to adapt to various environmental conditions. Indonesia has introduced barramundi from different regions, including Australia, which is known to have a faster growth rate and larger body size. At the same time, the Indonesian strain demonstrates greater resilience to local conditions but grows more slowly. This study evaluates the hatchery performance of Australian and Indonesian strains of barramundi (Lates calcarifer) in a controlled environment using circular concrete ponds. The research examines water quality, spawning productivity, and larval development. The results indicate that the Australian strain produces more eggs than the Indonesian strain, with a hatching rate of 62%. Key water quality parameters, including temperature (28.3–28.6°C), pH (8.26–8.29), and salinity (33–35 ppt), were generally favorable for successful spawning and larval development. Additionally, providing live feed, such as rotifers and Artemia, improved larval growth up to the early juvenile stage. The significant differences in productivity between the two strains highlight the importance of genetic selection and nutritional management in optimizing barramundi hatchery production. This study underscores the need for superior strain selection and the application of science-based aquaculture strategies to enhance the sustainability of barramundi production in Indonesia.

Abstract

Lift net is one of light fishing which is occupied to catch small pelagic species. Plenty of studies on lift net have been presented but very view has explored at the biomass size spectrum of Indian Mackerel as a description of fishing intensity and selectivity. Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) is among other small pelagic species captured by lift net. Observation of biomass size spectrum under different environmental factors aims to describe the selectivity of Indian Mackerel towards lift nets operated at Waralohi waters, Western Seram Regency. Length (cm) and weight (gr) of fish were used to calculate biomass size spectrum. Length of fish ranged from 16.5 cm to 22.5 cm with mean 18.2 cm, median and modus of 18.5 cm. The weight ranged from 16 gr to 149 gr, with mean and median 80 gr and modus 89 gr. Succeed of lift net operation to catch Indian Mackerel occurred during last quarter moon phase. The catch of Indian Mackerel is categorised as juveniles and undersized catch. Biomass size spectra identified that less fishing intensity during full moon affect less vulnerability of small fish being caught. This result should be concerned otherwise growth overfishing could not be avoided.
