<![CDATA[In the industrial area of Surabaya, water quality monitoring is crucial for maintaining environmental sustainability and human health. Aquatic insects have been identified as effective bioindicators for assessing water quality in this context. This article aims to explore the biological characteristics of aquatic insects, their role as bioindicators, and their relationship with water quality parameters near the industrial area of Surabaya. Through a literature review approach, relevant sources were analyzed to obtain comprehensive insights. The biological characteristics of aquatic insects, such as abundance, species diversity, tolerance to pollution, and life cycle and reproduction, enable them to provide indications of pollution levels and the industrial impact on aquatic ecosystems. Pollution[1]sensitive aquatic insects, including certain species of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT), tend to decline in abundance and diversity when water quality deteriorates. Conversely, the dominance of pollution-tolerant species, such as Chironomidae (non-biting midges), may indicate the impact of industrial pollution on water quality. Additionally, disruptions to the life cycle and reproduction of aquatic insects can signal water quality issues near Surabaya’s industrial zone. A decrease in reproduction or delayed growth in aquatic insects may indicate the presence of toxic substances or unsuitable environmental conditions. Water quality monitoring should not solely rely on aquatic insect bioindicators. Other parameters, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and chemical indicators, are essential for a more comprehensive analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[Cobras are venomous snakes from Elapidae Family widespread in Asia and Africa, including Indonesia. There are two species of cobras in Indonesia, the one being is Javan spitting cobra (Naja sputatrix Boie, 1827) and other is Sumatran spitting cobra (Naja sumatrana Müller, 1890). In Indonesia, N. sputatrix distributions are in Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara, meanwhile N. sumatrana spread across Sumatra and Kalimantan. Wide distribution means that there are also potentially wide variations in morphology, meristic, and morphometric characters. This research was conducted to determine variations of Javan and Sumatran spitting cobra with morphology, meristic, and morphometric characterization. Total number of 16 samples (N. sputatrix = 8, N. sumatrana = 8) were examined and measured. Visual observation focused on coloration and hood characteristics. Meristic observation uses head, dorsal, ventral, and subcaudal scalation. Morphometric observation measures SVL, TL, Tail, and HW. We found that hood morphology varies greatly between N. sputatrix and N. sumatrana. N. sumatrana differs between Sumatran and Borneo population. Morphometric variation is being less prominent with morphometric description that matches with previous literatures and researches.]]>

<![CDATA[Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is an infectious disease that has similar symptoms with dengue fever (DF). Several drugs have been offered to treat both dengue (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Investigating anti-CHIKF potential from nearby plants is one strategy to produce potential drug to reduce CHIKF in endemic countries. Physalis peruviana is one the promising object to be new anti-CHIKV drug candidate. This study aimed to analyze the anti-CHIKV agents from leaf parts of P. peruviana. Ligand and protein samples were collected from multiple sources. The phytoconstituents were evaluated their drug-likeness properties throughout SwissADME webservers. Selected ligands then docked via PyRX and measured the output by binding affinity. Visualization of the best outputs was carried out using BIOVIA Discovery Studio. CABS-flex was carried out to screen the RMSF of molecular dynamics activity of the best complex. The result showed that 1,2-benzenecarboxylic acid had the lowest binding affinity following suramin as control with -5.1 and -11.1 kcal/mol after targeting E2 domain protein of CHIKV. This led to the conclusion that 1,2-benzenecarboxylic acid could be forecast as predictive anti-CHIKF therapeutic candidate. Additional in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate this outcome.]]>

<![CDATA[The Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, is a key species in global aquaculture, valued for its rapid growth and high market demand. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of gonadogenesis and primordial germ cell (PGC) migration in this species is vital for optimizing breeding programs. This review consolidates current knowledge on these processes, highlighting the role of the vasa gene as a germ cell marker. Vasa expression was tracked from fertilized eggs to juveniles aged four months, revealing the conserved DEAD-box helicase motif essential for germ cell development. Early detection of vasa messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in developmental stages such as nauplius and zoea indicates its role in germ cell specification. By the post-larval stages, PGCs formed clusters associated with somatic gonadal precursor cells (SGPs), which support PGC migration and development. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) analyses demonstrated dynamic changes in vasa gene expression, suggesting critical windows for PGC proliferation and differentiation. Comparative studies with other species, such as Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Fenneropenaeus chinensis, emphasize the evolutionary conservation of germ cell development mechanisms. These insights are crucial for enhancing reproductive management and sustainability in shrimp farming, facilitating targeted interventions to improve breeding efficiency and hatchery success.]]>

<![CDATA[The adhesion of green mussel spit is highly correlated with depth. This study aims to establish the correlation between the depth and duration of observation with the abundance of green mussel spat (Perna viridis) in the coastal waters of Waiheru Village, located in Inner Ambon Bay. This study was undertaken utilising three floating net cages (KJA) possessed by local fishermen. The KJA utilised in this investigation had dimensions of 2.0 x 2.5 metres. Each KJA is equipped with 4 threads of hanger rope, resulting in a total of 12 hangers. Each rope hanger is positioned at specific depths, specifically at depths of 3, 6, and 9 metres. The net is 40 cm by 40 cm. Observations were conducted on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 after the nets were strung. The findings indicated that the depth and duration of observation significantly influenced the quantity of green mussel spat. Specifically, more spat was observed compared to other days, suggesting a stronger attachment at that depth and observation period. Nevertheless, on the 10th day of observation, there was a surge in the quantity of green mussel spit.]]>
