Abstract

Mangroves are a unique ecosystem that has an important role both bio-physically and socio-economically. Unfortunately, this ecosystem has suffered damage due to various forms of unwise use. Alternatively, the use of mangroves for ecotourism is often seen as more environmentally friendly and sustainable. On the other hand, some factors limit the success of mangrove ecotourism management. One of the most important factors is the feasibility of the mangrove itself as a capital for ecotourism. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of mangroves in two villages on Bengkalis Island as ecotourism resources and to analyze their suitability as an ecotourism attraction. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews in Kuala Alam and Pematang Duku Village in Bengkalis District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The feasibility is analyzed using the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) based on parameters that have been set by the TSI. The mangroves in Kuala Alam have an average cover thickness of 337 m, with a density of 300 trees/ha, which are composed of nine tree species. Mangroves in Pematang Duku have an average cover thickness of 948 m, with a density of 500 trees/ha, consisting of 14 tree species. The mangrove fauna found in the two villages is generally the same, as with the tidal pattern. The mangroves in Kuala Alam Village achieve a score of 1.75 which means they do not have tourism suitability (TSI<2) while mangroves in Pematang Duku achieve a score of 2.38 which meet the criteria to develop mangrove ecotourism (TSI>2).

Abstract

Morphometrics is a field that deals with variations and changes in the form (size and shape) of an organism or object. Anthropogenic is a human activity not only limited to the use or utilization of coastal resources, but also can be restorative and protective, thus causing complex disruption. The purpose of this study was to determine the morphometric differences of the flowers and fruits of R.apiculata mangroves in two regions with different anthropogenic activities in the mangrove ecosystem of Dumai City. This research was carried out in September 2019. From the results of the study it was found that in areas polluted by anthropogenic activity the average morphometrics of fruit (length and width) and leaves (length, width and length of the stems) Rhizophora apiculata were lower than those in the area not polluted by anthropogenic activity. At station I the oil content ranged from 0,0975 to 0,1251 ppm classified as polluted and at station II ranged from 0,072 to 0,111 ppm classified as not polluted.

Abstract

A pump is a machine or device that raises liquid from a low surface to a higher surface or moves liquid from a low-pressure to a high-pressure area. A centrifugal pump is a machine or equipment used to provide energy to a fluid (liquid) based on the centrifugal force generated by a rotating impeller. So that the liquid can be moved or moved from one place to another. As it receives energy through the impeller, the fluid velocity will increase. This kinetic energy is then converted into compressive energy by the pump housing (casing) in the form of a spiral (volute) or a centrifugal pump or fixed blades (diffuser) surrounding the impeller so that the liquid exits the pump at a high speed. The maintenance method for the bilge pump auxiliary machine is carried out in 6 stages, namely, the first stage opening the filter box, the second stage removing the inner filter and filter box cover gasket, the third stage installing new anti-rust on the inside of the filter box cover, the fourth stage removing the box filter connecting faucet and the bilge pump pipeline, the fifth stage opens the connection of the pipe and the bilge pump, the sixth stage ensures that all components of the bilge pump are firmly installed and perform operational test

Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcumin that can be used to improve the health as well as the immune system of the fish. The health and immune system condition of the fish can be predicted based on the hematology of the fish. A study that aims to understand the effects of turmeric addition in fish feed pellets on the hematology condition of common carp has been conducted from March to May 2022. The turmeric powder was mixed well with the feed pellets and the dosages of the turmeric powder were as follows: 0 (Control, no turmeric addition), P1 (0.5 g/kg), P2 (1 g/kg), and P3 (1.5 g/kg). The fish was reared in circular plastic containers (25 L), completed with an aerator and circulation pump) for 49 days, 15 fish/ container. During the research, the fish was fed 3 times/ day, at satiation. Samplings were conducted 2 times before the treatment was applied and by the end of the experiment (the 49th day). Results show that the addition of turmeric powder in the fish feed pellets clearly affects the hematological of the fish. Fish that was fed with turmeric-enriched pellets showed a higher percentage of lymphocyte and which means that the immunity of the fish is improved. The best treatment P3 showed 81.55% lymphocyte, 6.55% monocyte, 5.44% neutrophil, and 5.44% thrombocyte. Data obtained indicate that the fish fed with turmeric pellets perform better in hematological conditions than the fish with no turmeric-enriched pellets.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of IB frequency using different simple aspirator on fertility, weight loss and hatchability of Payakumbuh duck (Anas platyrhynchos domestication) eggs. This study used 8 male and 20 female ducks, 90% egg production. In this study, all hatched the hatched eggs. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments consisted of: P1 is 1 x 2 days, P2 is 1 x 4 days, P3 is 1 x 6 days, P4 is 1 x 8 days; the parameters observed were fertility, weight loss and hatchability. The results of the analysis of variance showed that different AI frequencies had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the fertility of hatching eggs, but had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on weight loss and hatchability. It can be concluded that P2 had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on fertility because fertile eggs were higher than other treatments. The characteristics of Payakumbuh ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domestication) spermatozoa are milky white and yellowish white, thick and watery consistency, specific odor, volume 0.24±0.05 ml, pH 7.37±0.51, mass movement +, ++ and +++, live percentage 79.06±3.68%, concentration 2.342 billion cells/ml, motility 75.00±7.56% and abnormality 12.06±0.82%. The results of the analysis of variance showed that different AI frequencies had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the fertility of hatching eggs, but had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on weight loss and hatchability. The frequency of IB 1 x 4 days had the highest fertility rate, namely 67.72 ± 7.99%. A simple Aspirator can function properly with the need for repairs and upgrades in several parts of the tool such as current source, and fan capacity.
