Abstract

Only around 40% of male betta fish are typically produced under normal conditions. Honey, a natural substance containing potassium and flavonoids, has the potential to alter fish sexuality from female to male. Potassium plays a key role in regulating testosterone and supporting androgen function, which promotes male characteristics in fish. This study aimed to identify the type of pure natural honey that most effectively increases the production of male betta fish fry. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used, consisting of four treatments with three replications each. The treatments were: (1) control (no honey soaking), (2) soaking eggs in Forest honey solution at a dose of 5 mL/L, (3) soaking eggs in Multiflora honey solution at 5 mL/L, and (4) soaking eggs in Randu honey solution at 5 mL/L. Sex identification was carried out at 60 days through morphological observation of the urogenital organs, and confirmed at 70 days using gonad histology with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The results showed that the highest percentage of males was obtained in Treatment 3 (Multiflora honey), at 59.59% 1.65, while the lowest was in the control group (Treatment 1) at 43.30% 1.70. The survival rate differed significantly among treatments, ranging from 40.00% to 66.67%, and the hatching rate ranged from 70% to 90%. Water quality parameters including temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO) remained within the optimal range for betta fish maintenance throughout the study. In conclusion, Multiflora honey was the most effective in increasing the production of male betta fish fry.

Abstract

This study evaluated growth performance, physiological parameters and blood profile of crosses between Kalahari Red bucks and West African Dwarf does (KalaWAD) fed ruzi (Brachiaria ruziziensis) and/or guinea grass (Panicum maximum). Twelve (12) KalaWAD bucks were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments: Panicum maximum (PM), Brachiaria ruziziensis (BR) and 1:1 mixture of Panicum maximum and Brachiaria ruziziensis (PMBR) for 84 days. The data obtained were subjected to one-way analysis of variance using a completely randomized design. Crude protein (p0.05) and ether extract (p0.05) were in the range from 5.68-7.35% and 0.82-1.11% respectively. Crude fibre (p0.05) and ash content (p0.05) were highest in PM with values of 37.75% and 11.38% respectively. PMBR had a dry matter content of 90.93% while the highest value of nitrogen free extract (55.19%) was observed in BR. PM recorded the highest weight gain of 2.75 kg and feed conversion ratio of 14.19. The daily weight gain of crosses fed PM, BR and PMBR were 49.11 gday-1 , 35.00 gday-1 and 34. gday-1 respectively. The feed conversion ratio was in the range between 14.19 and 20.64. Physiological parameters were significantly (p0.05) influenced with highest values in heart (88.121.02 beat/minutes) and pulse rate (72.280.61 beat/minutes) of bucks fed with PM while highest value of rectal temperature was observed to be 38.58oC in BR. Haematological parameters (p0.05) of the bucks fed with PM, BR and PMBR were within the normal range. Total bilirubin, Zinc and Sodium were significantly (p0.05) influenced by the diets. The study concluded that the experimental diets promoted growth rate, haematological and physiological parameters which resulted in healthy and better performance as observed in KalaWAD bucks fed with PM.

Abstract

Lola snails (Rochia niloticus) are biota that are widely consumed by coastal communities in Batam waters. Even though it is not a favored commodity, exploitation that does not consider sustainability can lead to population scarcity in nature. This research aims to collect comprehensive data regarding the abundance, morphometrics, and weight-length relationship of Lola snails in the waters of Sarang Island, Batam. Sampling was carried out at 3 locations, including Kajang, Piring, and Layang Islands. The Lola snail sampling method was carried out using purposive sampling. Water quality measurements are carried out in situ. Morphometric data were collected by measuring the body dimensions of Lola snails using digital calipers. Abundance was determined based on the number of individuals per unit area, and the length-weight relationship was analyzed using linear regression to determine growth patterns. The research results show that the condition of the aquatic environment still meets the environmental quality standards set by the Ministry of Environment No. 51 of 2004. The abundance of Lola snails was in range of 0.22- 0.97 ind/m2, and the highest was found on Kajang Island. The results of morphometric measurements showed that the highest shell length, weight, and shell width were observed in Lola snail samples from Kajang Island with values of 48.40 25.28 mm, 68.77 101.55 mg, and 44.42 23.28 mm. There is a relationship between the growth patterns of Lola snails caught at three stations which have negative allometric growth patterns, where Kajang Island, Piring Island, and Layang Island have negative allometric growth patterns (b3) with exponential values of 0.9685, 1.5121, and 2.5471, respectively. The value of relative weight condition factor (Wr) shows a value close to 100 on Kajang, Piring, and Layang Island, namely 102.753 and 104.812, 99.654, which indicates that Lola snails were in good condition during the research.

Abstract

Prolific breeding often hinders tilapia culture, leading to stunted growth and small-sized individuals at harvest. Phyto-additives, such as Turmeric Meal (TM), have been explored as a means of inducing infertility in aquaculture. This study investigated the efficacy of Turmeric Meal (TM) in regulating reproductive parameters and inducing infertility in Nile tilapia. We divided five hundred and forty tilapia into six treatment groups and three replicates, using TMT1 as the control. The remaining groups received diets containing 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% TM for 126 days. Results showed no significant differences in growth performance, feed utilization, or survival rate among treatments. However, significant reductions in reproductive parameters, except for absolute and relative fecundity, were observed. Histological analysis revealed reduced fertility in female fish fed from TMT2 through TMT6, while male fish fed TMT4 exhibited signs of infertility. Sperm quality parameters, including motility and morphology, also indicated decreased fertility. The findings suggest that turmeric meal at concentrations of 3-7% can induce infertility in both male and female Nile tilapia when administered over an extended period.

Abstract

Eco-morphological studies seek to understand the interconnection between the morphology of an organism and its ecology. It is the only way to determine if morphometric data can be used as an informative proxy for ecological variables of interest. This study, therefore, investigated fish diversity and its eco-morphological features for sustainable fish production in the Oyan Dam. The ichthyofauna of the Oyan Dam was surveyed from November 2021 to April 2022, and data on the abundance, diversity, and ecomorphological traits were obtained following standard procedures. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Bootstrap resampling, and Multivariate statistics. A total of 466 piscine specimens were sampled which belonged to seven orders, 13 families, and 26 species. Four families including Cichlidae, Mormyridae, Schilbeidae, and Ariidae were dominant and constituted 66.74% of the total catches. Margalef (3.50.02) and dominance (0.470.01) index values suggest that Oyan Dam is highly diverse with abundant fish species. The assemblage of fish species in Oyan Dam is ecomorphologically structured. However, the main ecomorphological traits verified in this study were compression index (CI), aspect of pectoral fin ratio (APFR), and caudal peduncle compression index (CPCI). These ecomorphological attributes indicated the relationship between the morphology of the species and their potential niches.
