Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability status of rice husk waste processing as fuel for Biomass Power Plant (PLTBm) at PT Buyung Putra Pangan. The research was conducted in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province, from January to May 2023. The approach used was an expert preference approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving various stakeholders. Data were analyzed using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method integrated into the RAPFISH software, focusing on three sustainability dimensions: social, economic, and environmental. The results showed that the economic dimension was categorized as moderately sustainable (index 61.21), while the social (45.92) and environmental (38.56) dimensions were categorized as less sustainable. The average sustainability index of 48.56 indicates that the rice husk waste processing at PT Buyung Putra Pangan is generally in a less sustainable status. These findings highlight the need for improvements in sensitive attributes, particularly in managing environmental impacts and enhancing community outreach, to ensure that the rice husk processing aligns with sustainable development principles.

Abstract

Environmental factors play an important role in the growth and survival of fish, both directly and indirectly. This role is not limited to determining the success of fish growth in terms of length and weight; fish behavior, feeding patterns, and metabolism are also affected. Photoperiod itself is defined as the length of time of light and dark exposure. This study aims to evaluate the effect of photoperiodism on the growth rate and physiological response of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study was conducted in Gandus District, Palembang City. Data and analysis were performed using a completely randomized design (CRD) with several parameters such as growth rate, weight gain, survival rate, and behavior of red tilapia observed qualitatively in response to treatment with varying light exposure times. The treatments given were 3 variations of light and dark exposure and 5 repetitions with variations P1: 20 hours of light: 4 hours of dark (20T; 4G) P2: 16 hours of light: 8 hours of dark (16T; 8G), and P3: 12 hours light : 12 hours dark (12T; 12G). The analysis results showed that red tilapia had a positive growth response, characterized by an increase in fish length and weight, caused by increased metabolism due to an increase in feed consumption rate. Fish behavior changed compared to the control group due to physiological stress caused by prolonged exposure to light.

Abstract

The coastal waters of Sungsang represent an estuarine area influenced by various anthropogenic activities, including fisheries, agriculture, water transportation, port operations, and domestic waste disposal. Despite the relatively high intensity of these activities, studies specifically assessing the ecological risk of heavy metal contamination in this area remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to provide an initial assessment of the ecological risk associated with Pb and Zn contamination in the coastal waters of Sungsang, South Sumatra. The research was conducted in September 2025, with sediment samples collected from four sampling stations using purposive sampling. Sampling was carried out during a single season; thus, the results represent instantaneous contamination conditions and do not fully reflect annual temporal variations. Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), following SNI No. 06-6992.3-2004 for Pb and SNI No. 06-6992.8-2004 for Zn. The results indicated that the average concentrations of Pb ranged from 14.39 to 19.17 mg/kg, while Zn concentrations ranged from 56.57 to 64.95 mg/kg. Based on sediment quality guidelines, these concentrations are classified as safe for aquatic biota. The geoaccumulation index (I_geo) values indicated that the sediments were unpolluted (I_geo < 0), while the contamination factor (CF) showed low contamination levels (CF < 1). Furthermore, pollution load index (PLI) values of less than one suggests that, overall, the sediments in the Sungsang coastal area have not experienced significant heavy metal pollution.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementation of natural ingredients in pelleted feed on gonad maturity and survival of female Betta fish (Betta splendens). The research was carried out from April to June 2025 at the Aquaculture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University, Palembang. The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications (a total of 15 containers). The basic feed used was PF 500 pellets. Treatment consisted of: P1 (100% pellets), P2 (pellets + Lactobacillus rhamnosus 100 mg%), P3 (pellets + 100 mg astaxanthin), P4 (pellets + combination of L. rhamnosus 70% + astaxanthin 30%), and P5 (pellets + combination of 70% astaxanthin + L. rhamnosus 30%). Parameters observed included an increase in body weight and length, survival, gonad maturity level (TKG), gonad maturity index (IKG), and fecundity. The results of the study showed that 100% astaxanthin (P3) supplementation provided the most optimal results in increasing body weight, survival, gonad maturity and fecundity of female B. splendens. Length growth did not show significant differences between treatments, while water quality during the study remained in the optimal range for keeping Betta fish. These findings confirm the potential of astaxanthin as an effective natural supplement in supporting the sustainable reproductive performance of ornamental fish.

Abstract

Floodplain wetlands are important inland water ecosystems with considerable potential for aquaculture development in Indonesia. These ecosystems, characterized by dynamic hydrological conditions and high biodiversity, support a wide variety of native and introduced fish species. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol to examine the ecological, socio-economic, and policy factors that influence the feasibility of aquaculture in floodplain wetlands. Using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software and the Google Scholar database, a total of 996 articles published between 2020 and 2025 were reviewed, and 20 high-quality studies were selected for the final analysis.  A systematic literature review indicates that floodplain wetlands possess substantial ecological and economic potential for sustainable fish farming, particularly for local species adapted to flood dynamics. The success of sustainable management is largely determined by the application of adaptive management approaches, the strengthening of community-based governance, and the adoption of innovative practices aligned with wetland ecosystem characteristics. However, existing studies remain limited in addressing long-term monitoring, industrial-scale feasibility, and the impacts of climate change and land-use conversion, highlighting the need for further research.

Abstract

Gembili tuber (Dioscorea esculenta) is a local tuber crop that has not yet been optimally utilized, despite its potential as a source of bioactive compounds beneficial to human health. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content as well as the antioxidant and prebiotic activities of the ethanol extract of gembili tuber. Phytochemical analysis was conducted to determine the total phenolic, flavonoid, and saponin contents. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH method. The results showed that gembili extract contained high levels of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and saponins, which contributed to its antioxidant activity, with inhibition values and IC₅₀ comparable to the control. The DPPH assay revealed that the antioxidant activity of gembili tuber extract increased with increasing extract concentration. The IC₅₀ value decreased from 116.7 ± 1.7 ppm at 1000 ppm to 76.4 ± 0.8 ppm at 3000 ppm. The results of this study indicate that gembili tubers have the potential to be a source of prebiotics and natural antioxidants that can be developed as locally based functional food ingredients.

Abstract

Monitoring subsurface carbon stocks in peat soils is crucial for understanding how different land cover types contribute to carbon storage and climate change mitigation. This study aims to estimate subsurface carbon (CO₂) stocks in peatlands under various land cover conditions. Soil sampling was conducted three times in October, November, and December 2024 across managed oil palm, unmanaged oil palm, shrubland, and swamp forest land covers. Additional sampling was carried out in August, September, and October 2025 on mixed gardens and secondary forests with dense vegetation. Samples were collected based on peat decomposition levels at an approximate depth of ±400 m and analyzed in the laboratory to determine bulk density (BD) and organic carbon content (%C) using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method. Carbon stock values were calculated and converted to CO₂ equivalents to obtain total estimates for each sampling point. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using One-Way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD post hoc test. The results revealed that managed oil palm land had the highest carbon stock 11,607.54 tons/ha, followed by unmanaged oil palm 11,107.32 tons/ha, shrubland 7,691.36 tons/ha, mixed garden 7,510.39 tons/ha, secondary forest 7,415.11 tons/ha, and swamp forest 6,872.56 tons/ha. These findings suggest that land cover type and management practices significantly affect subsurface carbon stocks, with well-managed lands tending to store higher amounts of carbon compared to natural or unmanaged areas.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect and determine the best formulation of Lindur fruit flour (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) as an alternative ingredient on the hedonic quality organoleptic characteristics (color, aroma, texture, and taste) of tuna fish balls (Thunnus sp.). The potential of natural resources in East Kutai as a coastal region, with its abundance of mangrove forests and high yield of tuna fish, is expected to support local food security and the diversification of processed tuna fish ball products through the addition of Lindur fruit flour. Lindur fruit, which is rich in fiber and bioactive compounds, has the potential to act as a binding agent and flavor enhancer for the diversification of tuna fish ball products. The treatments tested included the addition of Lindur fruit flour at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% of the total flour content in the batter, compared to a control group (0% addition). The parameters tested were color, aroma, texture, and taste. The data were statistically analyzed using the General Linear Model: Univariate, followed by the Duncan test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The organoleptic test results indicated that the addition of Lindur fruit flour had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on all parameters tested. The formulation with 60% Lindur fruit flour addition was the most preferred by the panelists, achieving the highest scores for aroma and taste, and high acceptance scores for color and texture. Overall, the addition of Lindur fruit flour provided a more unique aroma profile and enhanced a savory taste that was appreciated by the panelists. It is concluded that the addition of Lindur fruit flour up to a 60% dosage effectively improved the organoleptic acceptance of tuna fish balls and successfully supported the diversification of processed tuna products. This finding recommends the 60% formulation for industrial application.
