Abstract

Research on microplastic (MP) accumulation in marine organisms' tissue have been widely conducted, as well as research on microplastic biodegradation by microbial organisms from the environment.Agelas coniferasponge is proven to accumulate MP in its tissue as well as having bacteria as symbiotic organism. This research aims to screen and study biodegradation activities ofA. coniferasymbiotic bacteria on MP polymers, alsoto identify the species of those bacteria isolates. Bacterial Isolation ofA. coniferasponge tissue was using Zobell 2216E agar media. Screening and biodegradation assay of the bacteria isolates was conducted on Marine Salt Media agar that was added with 0,5 g of MP polymers, using Kroc-Boral method. Diameter of clear (bacterial growth) zone surrounding Kroc-Boral indicated the biodegradation activity of the bacterial isolates. Statistical analysis on the activity was using Two Way ANOVA. Results showed that there were 9 bacterial isolates of 53 that could degrade several MP polymers, with different activities (ANOVA, p value 0.05). High and low-density polymers (Linear- Low Density PolyEthylene/ LLDPE, Polyethylene/PE, and Polyvinyl Chloride/ PVC) were found to be degraded by all 9 isolates. Meanwhile, Polyethylen Taraphtalene (PET) and Polystyrene (PS) only degraded by 8 and 3 isolates, respectively. There are only 5 isolates that have high biodegradation index (1.5) on different polymers, which mostly on PET polymer. Isolate Ac8MP found to be the most bacteria that have degradation index on all polymers more than 1.This research proves that symbiotic bacteria could have a biodegradation mechanism on MP polymers that accumulates by sponge-host. However, further study needs to be done to understand the mechanisms and effectiveness of sponge-bacterial biodegradation activity.

Abstract

Halophila major is a new species with a wide distribution across various regions in Indonesia. The species was identified in 2020 through a combination of morphology and molecular approaches. Several studies have shown that it has a similar morphology to H. ovalis, which causes significant confusion during identification. Therefore, this study aims to describe the key identification and habitat of H. major and summarize seagrasses study opportunities based on the trend of published articles. A bibliometric analysis was used to summarize the habitat, morphometrics, molecular confirmation, and trend of seagrass topics in Indonesia. Based on the scientific articles, H. major has bigger morphometrics than H. ovalis. In addition, the number of paired and branching cross veins was reported to be an identification key of H. major. The species was also considered a deep ovalis found in 2-4 m depth. Genetically, the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene marker was appropriate to showits phylogenetic tree. H. major was also classified into different clades with H. ovalis due to various factors. The results showed that genetics, tourism, and restoration were topics with the potential to be explored in the future. This study recommended collaborating in multi-institution to transfer knowledge, technologies, and project arrangements for seagrass exploration.Keywords:BibliometricHalophilaMarine angiospermaeMarin plantRediscoverySpecies

Abstract

The development of infrastructure could be one of a threat to habitat of horseshoe crabs. Regarding that, constructing of an international port at Kijing Beach in Mempawah could also become a menace to crabss habitat. Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda is known to be the most commonly found in Mempawah Mangrove Park (MMP) coastal area. This study aim is to analyze population structure and morphometry of Carsinoscorpius rotundicauda in MMP coastal area. Research was conducted on April-September 2022. Fishers collected horseshoe crab samples using trammel net. This study observed 14 characters and four ratios of morphometric, i.e. total length (TL), prosoma length (PL), opisthosoma length (OL), telson length, prosoma width (PW), carapace length (CL), compound eyes distance (CED), anal angle length (AAL), posterior angle distance (PAD), telson width (TW), median ridge length (MRL), anterior occeli length (AOL), process marginal length (PML), body weight, PL/OL, PW/PL, CL/TL, and CL/PW. The number of individuals of horseshoe crabs found high on September. The sex ratio of males to females was 1,95:1. The highest frequency relative of prosoma width was found in the range around 1214 cm (adult size). The ratio of PW/PL of female crab was significantly bigger than male. This difference could be used for determining sex of this species crabs. The growth pattern of mangrove horseshoe crabs bot males and females were negative allometry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of women in promoting culinary tourism and to determine the production volume of smoked fish in Malalanda Village, Kulisusu District, North Buton Regency. The research was conducted from March to April 2024 using a purposive sampling method, considering the village's reputation for smoked fish production managed mostly by women. The population consisted of 19 female smoked fish processors, all of whom were selected as respondents through a census approach. Data were collected via interviews using questionnaires, direct observation, and secondary data from related institutions and literature. The results show that women are actively involved in all stages of smoked fish processing, including preparation, cleaning, sorting, smoking, cooling, and marketing. Production occurs up to 28 times per month, yielding a total of 14,334 pieces of smoked skipjack and tuna monthly. The highest individual output reached 952 fish per month, with an average of 796 fish per woman. These activities not only sustain culinary tourism but also contribute significantly to household income. The development of culinary tourism in the area highlights the vital economic role of women in local fisheries-based enterprises.Keywords:Culinary tourismIncomeSmoked fishWomen's roleWelfare

Abstract

This study aims to assess the distribution of Cherax quadricarinatus based on depth and evaluate its invasiveness using a risk assessment in Lake Laut Tawar, Central Aceh. The study was conducted at five stations representing various lake activities: Station 1 (One-One), Station 2 (Bewang), Station 3 (Gegarang), Station 4 (Mendale), and Station 5 (Dedalu). The methodology involved direct observation in the field followed by laboratory analysis. The results showed that 284 individuals were caught, consisting of 138 females and 146 males, with carapace lengths ranging from 20 to 76 mm. No consistent distribution of male and female carapace lengths was observed across all stations. The abundance of Cherax quadricarinatus in Lake Laut Tawar was classified as very abundant (20%) at One-One and Bewang stations, both at a depth of 5 meters. In conclusion, Cherax quadricarinatus significantly dominates the lake ecosystem, as indicated by its relative abundance at different depths across the study sites. This species also shows a high potential for invasion in freshwater lakes, highlighting the need for effective management strategies.Keywords:Cherax quadricarinatusInvasive spesiesLake Laut Tawar, Aceh

Abstract

Despite the high commercial success the whiteleg shrimp industry has achieved, challenges related to water quality and disease remain major issues. One approach to address these problems is Biofloc Technology (BFT). Carbon sources have been one of the factors influencing the characteristics of BFT. Some organic carbon sources used include molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the use of molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour as organic carbon sources in BFT. It focused on examining, their impact on floc density and the growth performance of whiteleg shrimp. The study was conducted from November to December 2023 using a completely randomized design with treatments including a control, molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour, each with three replicates. Parameters measured included biofloc volume, weight gain, average daily growth, survival rate, and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that BFV treatments with molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour had significant differences compared to the control group. Sago flour provided a significant increase in BFV. The growth performance of whiteleg shrimp in treatments with molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour improved and showed significant differences compared to the control. The application of BFT using molasses, tapioca flour, and sago flour as organic carbon sources significantly enhanced the biofloc volume, growth performance, feed conversion ratio, and survival rate of whiteleg shrimp. Among the tested carbon sources, sago flour demonstrated the highest biofloc volume and the most significant improvement in shrimp growth and feed efficiency.Keywords:Biofloc technologyMolassesSago flourTapioca flourWhiteleg shrimp

Abstract

Global warming and the extensive use of chlorpyrifos pose serious threats to the hatching success, growth, and survival of Nile tilapia larvae (Oreochromis niloticus). This study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of chlorpyrifos toxicity and elevated temperatures on tilapia larvae. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with three temperature levels (28C, 31C, and 34C) and two chlorpyrifos concentrations (0 g/L and 32 g/L), totaling six treatments with three replicates each. Parameters observed included hatching rate, daily growth rate (DGR), specific growth rate (SGR), absolute growth rate (AGR), and malformation rate.Measurements were conducted daily from the first day of hatching until the end of the larval phase (Day 8). Results showed the highest hatching rate (85.33%) was achieved at 34C without chlorpyrifos, while the lowest rate (20%) occurred at 28C with chlorpyrifos exposure on Day 2. DGR and SGR significantly decreased at 34C with chlorpyrifos exposure, reaching 0.0003 g/day and 3.73%/day, respectively, compared to 28C without chlorpyrifos (0.0011 g/day and 10.78%/day). AGR remained stable across all temperatures, showing no significant differences with or without chlorpyrifos. The malformation rate, including abnormalities such as lordosis and kyphosis, increased with higher temperatures and chlorpyrifos exposure, with the highest rate (25%) recorded at 34C with 32 g/L chlorpyrifosKeywords:ChlorpyrifosNile TilapiaHatching RateLarval Growth
