Abstract

This research aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on coral aquaculture businesses and management strategies in dealing with the pandemic. This research was a quantitative descriptive research. This research used the triangulation method (questionnaire, interview, and observation). This research was conducted at three coral aquaculture companies and a cultured coral transplantation site owned by a private company in Bali. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a more favorable impact on the coral aquaculture industry, such as the ability to become a source of income for the locals during the pandemic. The difficulties in conducting export activities and restricted mobility were some of the challenges encountered by coral aquaculture businesses during the pandemic. Additionally, the results showed that in order for coral aquaculture businesses to survive the pandemic, management strategies and adaptations are needed.

Abstract

Catfish is a popular fish species in the community and is cultivated by many people. Catfish are considered superior to other freshwater fish. One system that can improve catfish quality and ability is the biofloc system. Biofloc system is considered more effective compared to other systems because it increases the productivity of cultivated fish. Unfortunately, cultivation in general is considered a traditional system that only uses manpower to do all activities such as feeding. One application of feeding technology is automated feeding machines. This research is aimed to determine the effectiveness of the automatic feeder on catfish cultivation with biofloc system. The research method was experimental and compared 2 treatments, which were A (biofloc without an automatic feeder) and B (biofloc with an automatic feeder). Fish samples used were 5-7 cm in size and reared for 44 days at the cultivation pond of Marine and Fisheries Faculty, Udayana University. The results of this research are SGR, FCR, and SR. Based on the results, treatment B had better SGR (3.37%), FCR (2.03) and SR (45%) compared to treatment A. The conclusion of this research is the usage of automatic feeder in catfish cultivation with biofloc system has better results than without the usage of automatic feeder.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the physical differences between male and female turtles based on the secondary morphological characteristics of Cuora amboinensis. The method used in this research is a visual method with metric data presented in photos and measurement data, with a sample size of 20 individuals consisting of 12 females and 8 males. The research was carried out in September–December 2023 at the biodiversity study center at Bengkulu University. Observation results identified male C. amboinensis turtles with larger heads and brighter chins than female turtles. The carapace is oval with small bumps on vertebral 5 and wider marginal edges than in female turtles; the male's plastron displays a distinctive concave while the females have a flatter plastron. Male turtles have longer and thicker tails than female turtles. There are differences in the morphological characteristics of male and female C. amboinensis turtles, specifically in the head, carapace, plastron, and tail morphology.

Abstract

One of the main export commodities for Indonesian fishery products is tuna-skipjack-mackerel, the largest in the world. Bali waters have significant fishery potential for catching tuna, skipjack, and mackerel. The development potential of the tuna-skipjack-mackerel fishing industry must be considered. Denpasar Fish Quarantine Center for Quality and Safety Control of Fishery Products (BKIPM Denpasar) is the agency authorized to provide quality and safety assurance for fishery products. This research aims to determine the export conditions of tuna-skipjack-mackerel fishery products to various destination countries from Bali Province based on 2019-2023 time series data. This research used purposive sampling methods. Export data is grouped based on destination country, frequency, and volume of export commodities. Data was obtained from the Denpasar Fish Quarantine Center, Quality Control, and Fishery Products Safety (BKIPM Denpasar). This research was conducted in February 2024. The results of this research are less stable in export volume; ups and downs in volume occur every year. Export frequency and volume are not directly proportional. The frequency of exports was quite high in 2019, reaching almost 5 thousand trips, and decreased drastically in 2020, with a total of around 2.9 thousand trips. COVID-19 in 2019 significantly impacted it, dropping to half the export frequency. Tuna-skipjack-mackerel products supply various export markets, with 46 destination countries recorded from Bali Province across all chains between 2019 and 2023. Japan, the United States, and Australia are the biggest customers of tuna-skipjack-mackerel products. The tuna-skipjack-mackerel commodity types are divided into ten species.

Abstract

Traditional petroleum mining activities in 137 old wells in Wonocolo Village, Bojonegoro Regency Council District, East Java, have a positive impact on the local community's economy, but also have a negative impact on the environment in the form of pollution of surface water. The study aims to determine the quality of the Bongso River in the traditional Wonocolo petroleum mining area based on physical and chemical parameters (temperature, pH, DO, TSS, TDS, COD, phenol, and nitrate), as well as analyze the level of pollution in the river using the Pollution Index method. The results of the Bongso River water quality analysis contained parameters that exceeded quality standards, namely, SB 1 station with COD levels of 47.1 mg / L and Phenol 0.196 mg / L. SB 2 station with TDS levels of 1010 mg / L, TSS 93.60 mg / L, COD 94.0 mg / L and phenol 0.552 mg / L. SB 3 station TDS levels 1190 mg / L, TSS 1778 mg/L, COD 84.7 mg/L, and phenol 0.747. Station SB 4 levels TDS worth 1450 mg / L, TSS 1019 mg / L, COD 28.2 mg / L, phenol 0.632 mg / L and DO levels do not meet the minimum quality standards of 3.4 mg / L. Station SB 5 levels TDS 1310 mg / L, COD 103.5 mg / L and phenol 0.364 mg / L. Station SB 6 levels TDS 1400 mg / L, COD 65.9 mg/L and phenol 0.585 mg/L. Station SB 7 levels TDS 1230 mg/L, TSS 54.80 mg/L and phenol 0.556 mg/L. Salinity of the Bongso River increased from upstream (SB1) to middle (SB2); 0 ppt to 4 ppt (rainy season). Water quality status using the IP method shows that SB 1 and SB 5 stations are categorized as Lightly Polluted. Meanwhile, SB 2, SB 3, SB 4, SB 6, and SB 7 stations are categorized as Moderately Polluted.

Abstract

Echinoderms are key ecological organisms that play a protective role in balancing the marine ecosystem by breaking down trash or leftover organic material that is not used by other species. Echinoderms are marine biota that are sensitive to changes in water characteristics, so they can be used as bioindicators. Echinoderm habitats can be found in all marine ecosystems, but the highest diversity is found in intertidal areas, which are easily affected by land activity. One of the intertidal areas that is often used by humans is the Bay Area. This research aims to find out the types of echinoderms and analyze the community structure of echinoderms in Pegametan Bay, Bali. The research was carried out using the method of line transect at 18 points for data on the number and types of echinoderms in depth 1x1 m quadrat transect. Based on the observations, it was found that there are 3 classes of echinoderms that live on Bingin Beach (Echinoidea, Asteroidea, and Holothuroidea) with 3 orders, namely Diadematoida, Valvatida, and Holothuriida. The most commonly found species is D. setosum from the Echinoidea class. The structure of the echinoderm community in Pegametan Bay is shown by an average density value of 12.60 ind/m² with a diversity index value of 0.46, which is classified as low diversity; a uniformity index value of 0.36, which is relatively low; and a dominance index of 0.73, which is relatively high. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the diversity index in Pegametan Bay is low, the evenness index is relatively low, and the dominance index is high. The values of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and salinity are still within the standard limits for marine biota.

Abstract

Various types of eggs are one of the foodstuffs that are in great demand by the community, especially the people of North Sulawesi, because they are cheap and easy to obtain. Furthermore, eggs have the nutritional content of animal protein, which is good for humans. Numerous studies on eggs have revealed that microorganisms, including Salmonella sp., can contaminate them. This study aims to detect Salmonella sp. bacteria in various types of eggs in the Tondano Market, Minahasa, North Sulawesi. This research uses a descriptive method (qualitative method) to describe an event objectively. We collected up to three samples, the first of which is located outside the market. Three samples of purebred chicken eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs were taken. Then, the second point inside the market was taken: 3 samples of purebred chicken eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs from the same trader. To prepare the samples, the eggshells were separated from the insides, then 2 grams of the eggshells were crushed and mixed with 5 ml of Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) 0.1%. This mixture was then added to 10 ml of Rappaport Vassiliadis (RV) media, followed by scraping onto Salmonella Shigella Agar (SSA) media, and then inoculating onto Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar (XLD) media. Four eggshell samples tested positive for Salmonella sp. bacteria: duck eggs (TB 1), quail eggs (TP 1), broiler eggs (TA 2), and quail eggs (TP 2), while two samples were negative: broiler eggs (TA 1) and duck eggs (TB 2). In contrast, two samples were negative for Salmonella sp., namely broiler eggs (TA 1) and duck eggs (TB 2).

Abstract

White sea bass (Lates calcarifer) is a valuable fishery commodity that holds a significant market share, including as an export product. The high demand for white sea bass necessitates its seamless transportation. However, most fish experience stress to the point of death during transportation, and accommodations are expensive. Therefore, dry system transportation is a method that has the potential to be applied to reduce fish stress and lower transportation costs. This research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and three replications, utilizing white snapper seeds measuring 5-6 cm. The treatments tested had different densities, specifically treatment A with 10 individuals, treatment B with 15 individuals, and treatment C with 20 individuals. Fish transportation was carried out with previous fish anesthesia, using commercial clove oil as an anesthetic at a dose of 0.10 ml/L of seawater. Based on observations of transportation during the 1-hour journey, treatment C with a density of 20 animals was the best , namely with an inductive time of 4 minutes, a stun time of 1 hour, and a sedative time of 18 minutes, resulting in a post-transportation survival rate of 78% and a post-rearing survival rate of 76%. The use of clove oil was effective in maintaining the survival rate of white snapper (Lates calcarifer) seeds after dry transportation and throughout the research period.
