Abstract

Giant prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a potential fishery commodity. Recently, the commercial aquaculture of giant prawn has developed quite rapidly, especially in the rearing sector, due to its high economic value and accessible cultivation technology application. Low survival and growth are the causes of delays in the cultivation of giant prawns. The quality of the food for giant prawns is important to support the survival of the prawns during aquaculture activities. This study looks at how adding vitamins E and K to artificial food affects the growth and survival of giant prawn larvae from the Galah Prawn Seed Center (BBUG) in Klungkung, Bali. The results show that vitamin E had the highest influence on the growth and survival of giant prawn larvae, with 35.55% survival and a 4.727 growth index. Meanwhile, vitamin K in the prawn feed has no effect due to poor water quality and high mortality. The range of measured water quality was temperature (26-31°C), pH (7.5-7.8), and salinity (5-20 ppt). In general, this study shows that vitamin E had a positive effect on the growth and survival of giant prawn larvae.

Abstract

Land resources are very important in supporting tourism activities. As a developing tourism area, Nusa Penida requires sufficient land resources. The increasing population and tourists have triggered new activities affecting land use patterns, negatively impacting land availability and agricultural sustainability. This study aims to calculate the availability, needs, and status of land-carrying capacity to support the sustainability of agriculture in the Nusa Penida Tourism Area until 2028. The research method uses a quantitative approach by collecting primary data obtained directly in the field, secondary data originating from previous research, and data originating from official sources. The result of the calculation of land requirements based on the ecological footprint is the number of inhabitants multiplied by the ecological footprint (gha/capita); the land requirement for 2020 is 49,849 people multiplied by 0.36958702, which is 17,724.283 hectares, while the availability of land in Nusa Penida is 9,894 hectares. This shows that the carrying capacity of land in Nusa Penida has exceeded the threshold or a deficit of 7,830.283 hectares. The area of land in Nusa Penida reaches 20,284 hectares. In contrast, the availability of land in Nusa Penida is based on calculations using the actual production of each type of commodity and the price of rice at the producer level, the unit price of each commodity at the producer level, and the productivity of rice in Nusa Penida is only 9,894 hectares. The projection of land needs until 2028 is 24,640 hectares, so the land carrying capacity in Nusa Penida is a deficit. The results of the calculation of land requirements based on the ecological footprint are 14,746.283 hectares, while the availability of land in Nusa Penida is 9,894 hectares. This shows that the land carrying capacity in Nusa Penida has a deficit of 12,374.283 hectares.

Abstract

Abstract. Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a vegetable commodity with considerable economic value. Agricultural soil that hardens, has a high clay content, does not respond to fertilization, reacts sourly, and is poor in nutrient elements and organic matter, causing many agricultural lands to be less productive and even no longer productive. This research aims to determine whether there is an effect of providing Jakaba biofertilizer on the growth of chili plants. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial pattern consisting of 2 factors and 5 replications. The first factor is the fertilizer dose (D), which includes D0 (without fertilizer), D5 (fertilizer dose 5 ml/plant), D10 (fertilizer dose 10 ml/plant), D15 (fertilizer dose 15 ml/plant), D20 (fertilizer dose 20 ml/plant), and D25 (fertilizer dose 25 ml/plant)-planting media (M), which consists of M1 (soil) and M2 (soil: Jakaba = 1: 1), is the second component. Plant height is measured in centimeters, while the number of leaves is calculated in strands. The results of the research obtained show that there was an influence that can be seen from the combination of doses of biofertilizer and planting media on the vegetative growth of chili plants, namely the observation of plant height in the 4th week of M2D25 treatment has a value The highest is 10.18 ± 0.19 compared to other treatments, so that based on the Kolmogorov test and followed by the Anova test, it has a significant degree of 0.05, which means Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected. Then, when observing the number of leaves, we looked at the 4th week where the M2D20 treatment had the highest average number of leaves, namely 8.6 ± 0.55 compared to other treatments. So, based on the Kolmogorov test followed by the Anova test, it has a significant degree of 0.05, saying that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected.

Abstract

Zeylanicobdella arugamensis infection causes health problems for cultured grouper. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of citric acid soaking as an anti Z. arugamensis ectoparasite. A total of ±120 Z. arugamensis were isolated from sick hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus x E. lanceolatus) placed in Petri dishes (6 Petri dishes). Citric acid solution with 0, 50, 100, 150, 250, and 400 ppm was added to the petri plates. Immersion of Z. arugamensis was carried out for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Each 30 Z. arugamensis/treatment/30 minutes was taken and placed in 3 petri dishes (10 individuals/petri dish) filled with seawater. Observations were made on the response of Z. arugamensis. Comments were made on cocoon development into larvae. The citric acid safety test was conducted on cantang hybrid grouper infected with Z. arugamensis. A total of 3 test fish were soaked with citric acid solution in seawater at concentrations of 0, 150, 250, and 300 ppm. Observations of fish condition were made after 30 and 60 minutes of immersion. The results showed that citric acid concentrations of 250 and 400 ppm effectively killed Z. arugamensis (76.67±15.28-100%), and their cocoon development reached (0%). A citric acid concentration of 300 ppm is still safe to use for immersion of cantang hybrid grouper infected with Z. arugamensis for 60 minutes. Citric acid concentrations of 250-300 ppm can also release Z. arugamensis from the fish body. Citric acid has antiparasitic properties and lowers the pH of seawater.
