Abstract

There are many factors that drive the exploitation of blue swimming crab in East Aceh waters. Therefore, appropriate management efforts are needed in order to preserve the life of blue swimming crab. Evaluation of the biological aspects of the blue swimming crab population in East Aceh waters has a major role in drafting regulations. This study aims to determine the biology of the blue swimming crab population in the waters of East Aceh. This research was conducted in June 2024 in the waters of East Aceh. The method used was survey method. Blue swimming crab samples were taken randomly from crab fishermen as much as 10% of the catch. Sampling once a week at 2 different locations for 1 month. The results showed that the relationship between carapace width and weight of male and female blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) had a negative allometric growth pattern because the value of b < 3, namely 1.65. The sex ratio of blue swimming crab is not 1:1 or unbalanced. Male blue swimming crab gonad maturity is mostly at level I, while females can reach gonad maturity at level II. Key words: Blue swimming crab, biology, East Aceh.

Abstract

The fish diversity within the Leuser Ecosystem Area (LEA), particularly in the Sikundur River, plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of freshwater ecosystems. However, the populations of Mahseer (Tor tambroides and Neolissochilus soro) in this region are under threat due to habitat alteration and intensive exploitation. This study aims to examine the composition structure and size distribution of these two Mahseer species in the Sikundur River. Data collection was conducted at three stations representing different ecological settings: a residential area (Station 1), an agricultural plantation (Station 2), and a natural forest (Station 3). The study was carried out across two seasonal periods, dry season (April–September 2023) and rainy season (October–March 2024). Fish were sampled using cast nets, gillnets, and handlines with the assistance of local fishers, during both morning and evening sessions. Samples were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and graphs. Results showed that Station 3, located in a natural forest, had the highest proportion of juvenile and adult Mahseer with the largest sizes and weights, particularly during the dry season. Station 1 was dominated by smaller juveniles, especially in the rainy season. Station 2 displayed variable patterns. Seasonal and ecological differences significantly influenced Mahseer population structure and growth dynamics.

Abstract

Snow white molly (Poecilia latipinna, Lesueur 1821) is a popular ornamental freshwater fish introduced for aquarium use. This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate and growth performance of snow white molly fed Moina sp. enriched with ascorbic acid. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and three replicates: enrichment of Moina sp. with ascorbic acid at concentrations of (A) 150 mg/L, (B) 175 mg/L, and (C) 200 mg/L. The enriched Moina sp. was fed to snow white molly for a 30-day rearing period. The results showed that treatment B, with Moina sp. enriched at 175 mg/L of ascorbic acid, yielded the best outcomes: a survival rate of 86,66±5,7%, an absolute length of 2,5±0,1 cm/fish, and a specific growth rate of 4,02±0,32%/day. Based on these research, the 175 mg/L ascorbic acid enrichment dosage (treatment B) was significantly more effective in improving the survival and growth performance of snow white molly compared to other treatments.

Abstract

Freshwater snails (Faunus ater) live in shallow, muddy, and sandy waters and obtain their food through a filter-feeding mechanism. These conditions make freshwater snails potentially exposed to various contaminants within their bodies, such as heavy metals and bacteria. This study aims to identify the presence of Shigella sp. in Faunus ater using 16S rRNA gene analysis. The research method was conducted through observational and laboratory exploration using a modified Carter method and 16S rRNA gene analysis. Phenotypic observations showed bacterial growth in Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) media, producing clear, round-shaped colonies on Salmonella Shigella Agar (SSA) media, and were classified as Gram-negative, short rod-shaped bacteria. The 16S rRNA gene analysis results showed that the isolate had a 98.35% similarity to Shigella flexneri strain FDAARGOS_692. It can be concluded that the molecular analysis of the 16S rRNA gene of the bacterial isolate from the freshwater snail indicates that the bacteria belong to the genus Shigella and are similar to Shigella flexneri strain FDAARGOS_692.

Abstract

The study evaluated the effectiveness of Propack tablets, a water stabilizer containing lime, zeolite, and clay, in improving the survival of Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) juveniles during 30-hour closed transportation at different stocking densities. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications was used: P0 (45 fish/bag, without Propack), P1 (45 fish/L with Propack 50 ppm), P2 (60 fish/L with Propack 50 ppm), P3 (75 fish/L with Propack 50 ppm), and P4 (90 fish/L with Propack 50 ppm). Each bag contained 1 L of water and a 1:2 water–oxygen ratio. Observed parameters included survival rate, behavioral responses (scores 1–4), and water quality (pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, temperature). P1, which corresponds to the recommended SNI density for tilapia seed (45 fish/L) with Propack addition, achieved the highest survival (87.75%), stable behavior (scores 1–1.5), and favorable water quality (pH 8.0–8.4, DO 6.47 mg/L, ammonia 0.5 ppm). Higher densities (≥60 fish/L) showed decreased survival and more stressful behavior, accompanied by lower DO and increased ammonia. These results indicate that Propack is effective to maintain water quality and survival at the standard SNI density, but is not sufficient to fully compensate for overcrowding at higher densities.

Abstract

Optimizing species combinations is essential for enhancing the Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system for milkfish, especially in brackish water involving paddy plants. This research examines the percentage weight gain (PWG), daily weight gain (DWG), profitability, and benefit-cost (B/C) ratio of milkfish farming within the IMTA-Paddy system using three treatments with three replication: T1 (milkfish and paddy), T2 (milkfish, tiger prawns, and paddy), and T3 (milkfish, tiger prawns, mussels, and paddy) within a completely randomized design model. Thirty individuals of each aquatic species were stocked per tarpaulin pond along with 30 clumps of floating paddy. Milkfish were fed commercial feed three times daily over 80 days. Results showed that T3 had significantly higher body weight gain (BWG: 796.43%) and daily weight gain (DWG: 1.23 g/day) than T2 and T1. T3 also yielded the highest profit (IDR 89,483/kg) and benefit-cost ratio (BCR: 1.61), significantly outperforming T2 and T1. The inclusion of mussels, acting as an organic extractive species, contributed notably to the improved growth and economic performance of milkfish in T3. These findings underscore the importance of well-designed species integration in improving aquaculture productivity and sustainability, and provide a promising foundation for scaling up IMTA-Padi systems in brackish coastal areas of Indonesia.

Abstract

Fish of the genus Tor are endemic to Indonesia which are threatened with extinction. The purpose of this research is to describe spinal morphometric studies of four types of Genus Tor in Indonesia. All data from the spine measurements of the four fish of the Tor genus were processed using the Microsoft Excel program. Data are presented in the form of mean ± standard deviation, and the smallest and largest values. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that T. douronensis, T. tambroides, T. soro, T. tambra showed significant differences in the number of centrums. T. tambroides and T. douronesis had 40 centrums, while T. soro had 39 and T. tambra had 41 centrums. The more the number of centrum fish eat, the longer the morphology of the fish's body. In the ratio of length to width, length and height, it can be seen that tor tambroides has a higher ratio value than the other three.

Abstract

Sea cucumbers and sea urchins are commonly found in shallow waters, and are seston or detritus eaters. Samples of sea cucumbers and sea urchins were taken from 3 ecosystems, sea grass, wharf and coral reefs using a purposive sampling method. Measurement of physico-chemical variables was also carried out at the study site. The relationship between aquatic physico-chemical factors and food habits on the abundance of sea cucumbers and sea urchins was analyzed using the PCA (Principle Component Analysis) test. The highest abundance of Diadema setosum was found in coral reef ecosystems as much as 91 ind/150m2 and the highest Holothuria atra was found in marine ecosystems with 44 ind/150m2. The digestive contents were observed using a microscope. Food habits based on the composition of the types of digestive contents were analyzed using the Index of Preponderance (IP) method. The main food is Nitzschia sp., then complementary foods is Pleurosigma sp. and additional food consisting of Oscillatoria sp., and various other types of phytoplankton. Based on the results of the PCA test, 3 main factors supported the ban on sea cucumbers and sea urchins in the waters of Pulau Panjang, Jepara are DO, temperature, and pH.

Abstract

Microplastics are waste materials that have been degraded into particles smaller than 5 mm due to light, temperature and air flow. This situation increases the potential for microplastic translocation in fish as aquatic organisms. The high level of microplastic contamination in fish has the potential for translocation of microplastics to the human body through consumption of contaminated fish. This research aims to examine microplastic contamination in fish in Indonesian waters, including a comparison of microplastic contamination in seawater fish and freshwater fish, as well as a comparison of the presence of microplastics in fish organs based on a review of available literature. This research uses a literature review method with the criteria for the selected journal being publications in 2013-2023. The research results revealed that the highest presence of microplastics was found in seawater fish at 66%, while in freshwater fish it was 34%. The most common microplastics found include fibers, filaments, fragments and films with percentages of 29%, 22% and 18% respectively. The organs where microplastics are most commonly found include digestive organs at 75%, gills at 22% and meat at 3%. These findings highlight the importance of public awareness of microplastic contamination, as well as the need for plastic waste management and microplastic testing of fish before they are marketed.
