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.

Abstract

Molluscs are one of the most preferred ingredients for marine lobster feed because the mollusc has a higher protein content. Therefore, this material has the potential to substitute the fish meals and reduce the cost for feeding lobsters. The objective of the present study was to investigate digestive enzyme activities and growth performance of painted spiny lobsters fed with a combination of mollusc meal and fish meal in the diet. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 20% sardine fish meal and 20% mackerel fish meal (Diet A). 10% Telescopium muscle meal (TMM) + 15% golden snail meal (GSM) + 15% scallops muscle meal (SMM) (Diet B). 15% TMM + 10% GSM + 15% SMM (Diet C) and 15% TMM + 15% GSM + 10% SMM (Diet D). A total of 24 juvenile painted spiny lobsters were distributed into twelve plastic tanks (two lobsters/tank) with a size of 60 45 60 cm and reared in a recirculating system for a 50-day rearing period. The lobster was fed only one time a day (05:00 pm) with a dosage of 3% biomass weight. The results showed that the enzyme activities of lobsters fed with combined mollusc meals were higher than the enzyme activity in the lobsters fed with the fish meal combination diet. The weight gain of the painted spiny lobster fed with mollusc meal was higher than the lobster fed with a fish meal diet. Based on results of enzyme activities and growth performance. It was concluded that the combination of mollusc meal in the formulated diet was more suitable than the combination of fish meal for optimum enzyme activities and growth performance of painted spiny lobster

Abstract

The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) or BSF is one of a group of insects that has a length of 15-20 mm originating from America. The larvae of the BSF has a high protein content (44.26%), which has great potential in treating wound healing. This study investigated the wound healing potential of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) ethanolic extract on mice. The research aimed to determine the extract's content, its effect on wound closure percentage, and its impact on total DNA content in mice. Using a completely randomized design, 30 male mice were divided into 6 treatment groups: no treatment (K-1), placebo (K-2), povidone iodine 10% (K+), and BSFL ethanolic extract at 10%, 15%, and 20% concentrations. Wounds were treated for 14 days, with measurements taken every 2 days. Results showed that the 20% BSFL extract was most effective in wound healing, with wound lengths comparable to the povidone iodine group. The highest total DNA content was observed in the 20% BSFL group (42.25 7.45 g/mL), indicating enhanced cell proliferation. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry analysis revealed high lauric acid content (44.27%) in the extract, known for its antibacterial properties. Organoleptic and homogeneity tests confirmed the ointment's suitability for topical application. The extract's efficacy is attributed to its high protein content, various amino acids, and minerals that play crucial roles in wound healing processes. The study concludes that BSFL ethanolic extract, particularly at 20% concentration, shows promising potential as a natural wound healing agent, offering antibacterial and tissue regeneration properties. These findings open new avenues for developing sustainable, insect-based wound healing treatments.

Abstract

Universitas Andalas campus is located at Payakumbuh region, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This campus is surroundedby forest and settlement. This study aimed to determine species inventory and its ecological condition in Andalas University campus complex (UACC), Limau Manis, Padang, West Sumatra. It had been conducted between October 2022 and January 2023, where the survey was carried out at three zonation in UACC based on its level of anthropogenic interference; campus entrance with the heaviest disruption (campus boulevard), main campus, and forest-edge that bordered with the eastern side of campus. Point count method was applied along ten observing points which approximately 100 m distance from one to another; the forest-edge were surveyed with only five points. Species and individual numbers were recorded within maximum 100 m radius from center of each point for ten minutes. The data was then analyzed for its diversity, similarity across sites and typical species per survey site. The study recorded 38 bird species with total 418 individuals; they belong to 20 families and 7 orders. The overall bird diversity in UACC was moderate (H = 2.9), with the lowest was observed at the campus boulevard (H = 2.1) followed by forest-edge (H = 2.2) and the highest was at lecturing complex (H = 2.6). The similarity among sites was low to moderate (21.7% J 52%) which suggested some species are typical to their respective habitat site. The forest-edge site has the most typical species (n = 14) among other habitats.This study also hinted the possibility of the occurrence of mixed-flock bird species event at the main campus habitat between yellow-vented bulbul Pycnonotus goiavier and Coppersmith barbet Psilopogon haemacephala along with some other participants.

Abstract

The low environmental quality of pond water is caused, among other things, by the large amount of organic waste and nutrients (feed components) in pond water outflow. The remaining feed and feces (feces) decompose in pond water before being dumped into the nearby rivers, resulting in the discharge of high levels of nutrients and organic waste. One method for enhancing the effluent quality from aquaculture is a biofilter. In order to reduce and absorb dissolved organic contaminants, biofilters are used. It is possible to employ Gracilaria sp. as a biofilter, which is an efficient technique to increase sanitation. The study' goals were to determine how well Gracilaria sp. developed and how well seaweed absorbed N and P elements from vaname shrimp culture waste, specifically ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2), and nitrate (NO3). Three different treatments for the weights of the seaweed were employed in the study: 50, 75, and 100 grams. The analysis showed that the 100 g of Gracilaria sp. was very effective in absorbing N and P waste. It was discovered that N and P component absorption was, respectively, 75.10% and 75.15% effective.

Abstract

The high rate of metabolic activity during breeding, pregnancy, parturition and lactation may lead to oxidative stress in sheep and goats. Antioxidant supplementation is proposed as a therapy for encountering resultant stress. In animals, -carotene functions mainly as pro-vitamin A and as a scavenger of free radicals, especially against singlet-state oxygen. This raises the question of whether supplementing -carotene as an antioxidant above the vitamin A requirement is beneficial. While a number of studies have been conducted on the effect of -carotene supplementation as a tool to improve the production and reproduction performance of female goats and sheep, the findings are inconsistent. Some of the main reasons for this inconsistency could be attributed to the variation in the amount of -carotene supplemented, the amount of -carotene in the animal diet and the difference in the animal requirement for -carotene. The objective of this review was to determine the effects of -carotene supplementation on the production and reproductive performance of female sheep and goats fed on a diet deficient or not deficient in -carotene. Data were extracted from peer-reviewed articles that were searched in the Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Thirteen peer-reviewed published articles were found on the subject under review. We estimated the animal requirement for -carotene, the amount of -carotene provided to the animal in the diet and the amount of -carotene supplementation used in each study. These estimations were made to indicate whether the diet fulfilled the animal's requirement for -carotene or not. The review revealed that -carotene supplementation enhances the production and reproduction performance of the sheep when fed on a carotene-deficient diet. Additionally, -carotene supplementation may increase the levels of some hormones such as progesterone in sheep and goats when fed on a diet that fulfils their requirements of -carotene. However, the supplementation of -carotene above the requirements seems to not affect the production and reproduction parameters such as body weight, milk production, estrus parameters, conception rate, pregnancy rate, and litter size.In conclusion, while -carotene supplementation is essential for female sheep and goats fed -carotene-deficient diets to attain optimal production and reproductive performance, supplementing -caroteneabovethe requirements does not appear to provide any further benefits to their overall performance.
