Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in maintaining coastal biodiversity, particularly as essential habitats for fish communities. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures have led to significant mangrove degradation in many coastal areas, including Banten Bay on the northern coast of Java, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze conservation and rehabilitation strategies of mangrove ecosystems and their role in supporting fish biodiversity in the coastal waters of Banten Bay. Field surveys were conducted in conserved, rehabilitated, and degraded mangrove areas to assess mangrove vegetation structure and fish assemblages. Mangrove conditions were evaluated based on tree density, diameter at breast height (DBH), and canopy cover, while fish biodiversity was analyzed using species richness, abundance, and ecological indices. The results showed that conserved mangrove areas had the highest vegetation complexity and supported greater fish species richness and diversity compared to rehabilitated and degraded sites. Rehabilitated mangroves exhibited moderate biodiversity levels, indicating partial recovery of ecological functions. A positive relationship was observed between mangrove structural complexity and fish biodiversity, emphasizing the importance of effective conservation and ecosystem-based rehabilitation strategies. These findings highlight the necessity of protecting existing mangrove forests and improving rehabilitation practices to sustain fish biodiversity and support sustainable coastal management in Banten Bay.

Abstract

This study evaluated the environmental performance of fishing gears operated in Nias marine ecosystems using indicators of selectivity, bycatch level, habitat interaction, and overall ecological impact. The results demonstrated that fishing gears used by small-scale fishers in Nias vary considerably in their environmental performance. Handlines exhibited the highest environmental performance, characterized by high selectivity, minimal bycatch, and negligible interaction with marine habitats. Fish traps and lift nets showed moderate environmental performance, with generally low to moderate ecological impacts depending on operational practices and fishing locations. Gillnets displayed moderate environmental performance but were associated with higher bycatch rates and greater potential interaction with sensitive habitats, particularly when mesh size and fishing areas were not properly managed. These findings indicate that not all fishing gears contribute equally to ecological pressure in Nias waters. Promoting the use of highly selective and low-impact fishing gears, such as handlines, while improving the design and management of moderate-impact gears, particularly gillnets, is essential for enhancing fisheries sustainability. The study highlights the importance of ecosystem-based fisheries management, supported by appropriate regulations, fisher awareness, and community participation, to ensure the long-term conservation of marine resources and the sustainability of coastal livelihoods in Nias.

Abstract

The broiler chicken farming sector in Indonesia faces significant managerial challenges, particularly among small- and medium-scale farmers with limited access to information and formal training. This study aims to identify the potential, constraints, and optimization strategies for utilizing social media as a managerial educational medium to enhance farmers’ capacity. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through non-participant online observation of broiler farmer communities on Facebook and educational content on YouTube, followed by thematic analysis of interactions and shared materials. The findings indicate that social media accelerates the dissemination of managerial information, strengthens collaboration, and expands farmer networks. However, limited digital literacy and unequal internet infrastructure remain major barriers to effective utilization. This study concludes that optimizing social media for managerial education requires tiered digital literacy training, the development of locally relevant content, and improved internet accessibility to support sustainable digital transformation in the broiler farming sector.

Abstract

This study analyzes the supply chain of livestock products at the smallholder farmer level to identify its structure, performance, and key constraints. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from structured questionnaires with qualitative information from interviews and field observations. The supply chain was mapped to examine product, information, and financial flows among key actors, including smallholder farmers, collectors, wholesalers, and retailers. Marketing margin and farmer’s share analyses were used to evaluate value distribution along the supply chain. The results reveal that the supply chain is fragmented and dominated by intermediaries, leading to low efficiency and unequal value distribution. Smallholder farmers receive a relatively small share of the final consumer price despite bearing most of the production risks. Limited access to market information, weak coordination among actors, and inadequate infrastructure further constrain supply chain performance. The study concludes that strengthening farmer organizations, improving market transparency, and enhancing logistics and financial support are essential to create a more inclusive and efficient livestock supply chain.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate and growth performance of tilapia cultured under different aquaculture systems, namely earthen ponds, biofloc systems, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). The experiment was conducted for 60 days using juvenile tilapia with similar initial weights and stocking densities. Growth parameters observed included final body weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate, while survival rate was calculated based on the number of fish that remained alive at the end of the culture period.The results showed that tilapia reared in the biofloc system achieved the highest survival rate and growth performance, followed by those cultured in the RAS system, while fish reared in earthen ponds showed the lowest values. The superior performance in the biofloc system was attributed to improved water quality and the presence of microbial flocs that served as an additional natural food source. The RAS system also provided stable water conditions that supported good growth, although it required higher operational and technical inputs. These findings indicate that biofloc technology and RAS offer more efficient and sustainable alternatives to conventional pond culture for improving tilapia productivity. The adoption of advanced culture systems can enhance fish growth, increase survival rates, and contribute to more environmentally friendly aquaculture practices.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on growth performance, survival rate, and water quality in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture. A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed with four dietary treatments consisting of different probiotic supplementation levels: P0 (control without probiotics), P1 (5 mL probiotic/kg feed), P2 (10 mL probiotic/kg feed), and P3 (15 mL probiotic/kg feed), with three replicates per treatment. A total of 240 Nile tilapia fingerlings with an initial average body weight of 10.25 ± 0.48 g were reared for 60 days in fiberglass tanks under controlled culture conditions. The evaluated parameters included final body weight, weight gain, Specific Growth Rate (SGR), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Feed Efficiency (FE), Survival Rate (SR), and water quality parameters, including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and nitrite. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results demonstrated that probiotic supplementation significantly improved all evaluated parameters compared with the control treatment. The P2 treatment produced the best performance, with a final body weight of 68.57 g, weight gain of 58.33 g, SGR of 3.15% day⁻¹, FCR of 1.24, feed efficiency of 80.37%, and a survival rate of 98.33%. Moreover, probiotic application effectively reduced ammonia concentration to 0.11 mg/L and nitrite concentration to 0.05 mg/L, indicating a substantial improvement in water quality. These findings demonstrate that dietary supplementation with 10 mL probiotic/kg feed is the optimal dosage for improving growth performance, feed utilization, fish survival, and environmental conditions in intensive Nile tilapia culture. Therefore, probiotic supplementation represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly strategy for enhancing aquaculture productivity while reducing dependence on antibiotics and synthetic chemical inputs.

Abstract

Feed cost represents the largest proportion of broiler production expenses, encouraging the exploration of sustainable and cost-effective alternative feed resources. Fermentation has been recognized as an effective strategy for improving the nutritional quality and digestibility of locally available feed ingredients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermented local feed supplementation on growth performance, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcass quality of broiler chickens. A total of 200 one-day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with five replicates of ten birds each. The dietary treatments consisted of T0 (basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 5% fermented local feed), T2 (basal diet + 10% fermented local feed), and T3 (basal diet + 15% fermented local feed). The feeding trial was conducted for 35 days. Growth performance, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and carcass characteristics were recorded and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test at a significance level of P < 0.05. The results indicated that fermented local feed supplementation significantly improved body weight gain, final body weight, feed conversion ratio, dressing percentage, and breast meat yield while reducing abdominal fat deposition compared with the control treatment. Broilers receiving 10% fermented local feed (T2) consistently produced the best performance across all evaluated parameters. These findings demonstrate that supplementation with 10% fermented local feed is an effective nutritional strategy for improving broiler productivity, feed efficiency, and carcass quality while promoting the utilization of locally available feed resources for sustainable poultry production.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal parasitic infections remain one of the major constraints limiting the productivity and health of small ruminants in tropical farming systems. Favorable environmental conditions, including high temperature and humidity, facilitate parasite survival and transmission, resulting in persistent infections among grazing sheep and goats. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites and evaluate their impact on the health status of small ruminants raised under tropical farming systems. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 150 small ruminants (75 sheep and 75 goats) selected from traditional and semi-intensive farms. Fresh fecal samples were collected and examined using flotation, sedimentation, and McMaster egg-counting techniques for parasite identification and quantification. Clinical examinations, body condition scoring, body weight measurement, and hematological analyses were performed to assess animal health. The results showed that 92 animals (61.3%) were infected with at least one gastrointestinal parasite species. The infection rate was accompanied by significant differences in body weight, body condition score, hemoglobin concentration, and packed cell volume between infected and non-infected animals (P < 0.001). Haemonchus contortus was the predominant parasite, followed by Trichostrongylus spp., Eimeria spp., Strongyloides spp., Moniezia spp., and Fasciola spp. Infected animals exhibited significantly lower body weight, body condition score, hemoglobin concentration, and packed cell volume than non-infected animals (P < 0.05). A significant negative correlation was observed between fecal egg count and health indicators, indicating that increasing parasite burdens were associated with deteriorating physiological condition. Younger animals and farms practicing continuous grazing with irregular deworming programs showed higher infection rates than adult animals and farms implementing improved management practices. The findings demonstrate that gastrointestinal parasites remain a serious health challenge in tropical small-ruminant production systems. The study contributes by combining parasite prevalence assessment with clinical, hematological, and management-related indicators within the same tropical small-ruminant production context. Integrated parasite management, including routine surveillance, targeted selective treatment, pasture rotation, improved nutrition, and farmer education, is recommended to reduce parasite transmission, improve animal health, and enhance the sustainability of livestock production in tropical regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of household-scale catfish farming. Catfish farming has considerable potential for development because catfish have relatively high market demand, a relatively short production cycle, and can be cultivated on limited land. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected through observation and interviews with catfish farmers. The analysis focused on production costs, revenue, income, and financial feasibility using the Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), Break Even Point (BEP), and Return on Investment (ROI) indicators. The results showed that the catfish farming business generated revenue of IDR 17,600,000 with total production costs of IDR 8,500,000 during one production cycle. The resulting profit was IDR 9,100,000. The R/C Ratio of 2.07 indicates that every IDR 1.00 spent on production generated IDR 2.07 in revenue. The B/C Ratio of 1.07 also indicates that the business generated economic benefits and was financially feasible. The BEP analysis showed that actual production was above the break-even point, indicating that the business was able to generate profit. Based on the overall financial analysis, household-scale catfish farming is financially feasible and has potential for further development. Efficient feed utilization, production cost control, water quality management, and improved marketing strategies are important factors in increasing profitability and ensuring business sustainability.

Abstract

Fishermen productivity is an important aspect of coastal fisheries because it is closely related to catch efficiency, operational costs, income, and the sustainability of fishery resources. This study aims to analyze fishermen's productivity based on the types of fishing gear used in coastal areas and to identify factors influencing fishing performance. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with fishermen, and documentation of fishing activities. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with source and technique triangulation used to ensure data validity. The results indicate that fishermen's productivity varies according to the type of fishing gear, fishing experience, operational practices, environmental conditions, and fish resource availability. Fishing gear with greater operational capacity provides wider access to fishing grounds and greater opportunities to obtain catches, but generally requires higher operational inputs. Meanwhile, simpler fishing gear is more accessible to small-scale fishermen because of its relatively low operational requirements, although its productivity is more dependent on nearshore fish availability and environmental conditions. The study also shows that fishermen's knowledge and experience play an important role in determining the effectiveness of fishing gear and fishing strategies. Therefore, improving fishermen's productivity requires the appropriate selection of fishing gear, enhancement of technical skills, access to fisheries and weather information, efficient management of operational costs, and implementation of sustainable fishing practices.
