Abstract

Indonesia has very large territorial water, so it supports the development of the economy in the field of fisheries, one of which is through aquaculture. Recently fish meal has become the most expensive protein ingredient in aquaculture feeds. We aim to proximately analysis of some common alternative flour as fish feed ingredient i.e. fish flour, shrimp head flour, soybean flour, and bran flour to get best-recommended flour for type cultured fish. Fish flour, shrimp head flour, soybean flour, and bran flour was purchased from the fish farmer in Malang who use alternative fish feed flour for their aquaculture. Proximate analysis carried out by protein content, Moisture content, Fat and Fiber. Proximate analysis was conducted in the Fishery Products Engineering laboratory, Brawijaya University on April 2018. The results showed that shrimp head flour had higher protein content than others flour that is about 48.71%, fat and carbohydrate content about 7.99%, and 18.34% respectively. Soybean flour contains protein, fat and carbohydrate about 31.29%, 20.75%, and 30.45% respectively. Carnivorous fish culture can use high protein flour as an alternative ingredient for feed such as fish flour and shrimp head flour; balance proximate composition for omnivorous fish cultures such as soy flour and high carbo flour such as bran flour for herbivorous fish culture.Keywords: Bran flour, Shrimp head flour, Soybean flour, Proximate analysis.

Abstract

The viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is betanodavirus of the family Nodaviridae with acute infection and associated with high levels mortality up to 100% of numerous larval-stage marine and freshwater fish species. The danger signals of viral infection that are capable of activating APCs (Antigen Presenting Cells), furthermore produced molecules protein receptors such as interferon and heat shock proteins. Stimulating interferon type I (IFN I) induce several antiviral molecules, further binding the actin cytoskeleton to reach the site of infection. This study demonstrated a correlation between increased levels of Hsp70 (heat shock proteins) and actin filamentous (β-actin) within invasion wild-type isolate of ssRNA VNN from Asian Seabass (L. calcalifer) juvenile. Furthermore, expression of Hsp70 and actin as an indicator or biomarker of stressed states in fish. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method used to finding expression Hsp70 and β-actin. Whereas nested RT-PCR used for VNN genes. The up-regulation of Hsp70 was observed on the brain tissue higher than eye tissue of sample positive infected VNN. Whereas different expression of β-actin, β-actin receptor expression tends to be stable in the organs of the brain and eye, both invaded VNN or normal, while on the eye, the ratio slightly increased based on the intensity of the band. The research shows that altered expression of heat shock protein 70 and beta-actin gene receptors in the target organs that response to invasion VNN at Asian seabass (L. calcalifer) juvenile. Alteration expression of heat shock protein 70 and beta-actin can be used as an indicator or biomarker of stress cells, especially from VNN invasion at fish. Keywords: Asian seabass, β-actin, Hsp70, Immune response, Viral nervous necrosis.

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with a stage-structure population on the predator. This model consists of two populations, that are prey and predator populations. Here, we divide predator into two stages. Thus, we have three classes of population in this model that are prey, juvenile predator, and mature predator. The focus of this paper is to know the interaction between the population that is affected by stage-structure in predator population in the model and to study numerically the effects of stage-structure in predator population on the interaction of prey and predator. It is found that the transition rate from juvenile to mature predator is a very important parameter which may determine the long-term behavior of both prey and predator.Keywords: Leslie-Gower model, predator-prey model, stage-structure.

Abstract

Diabetes has become a serious global public health problem due to its high prevalence and mortality. Unfortunately, current anti-diabetic drugs are having some limitations and adverse effects. Therefore, searching for a new anti-diabetic agent is an urgent challenge. In this research, we examined the effectiveness of a traditional anti-diabetic polyherbal composed of Sesbania grandiflora seeds, Salacca zalacca leaves and Acalypha indica roots (2:1:1). The study was aimed to explore the anti-hyperglycemic effect of the polyherbal in STZ-induced diabetic mice and to investigate the immunomodulatory activity involved in the process of controlling hyperglycemia. Our results showed that the polyherbal water extract (150 mg.kgBW-1) could suppress blood glucose elevation and preserve pancreatic islet of diabetic mice. Moreover, the polyherbal treatment could normalize the relative amount of activated CD4+CD62L- and CD8+CD62L- T cells. The polyherbal extract also stimulated the production of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) which is known to play an important role in diabetes control. In addition, polyherbal treatment also increased the relative amount of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. These results revealed that the polyherbal extract has an anti-hyperglycemic and immunomodulatory activity that may provide beneficial function in diabetes healing. Keywords: Antidiabetes, Immunomodulator, Polyherbal, Regulatory T cell.

Abstract

Some mathematical models to describe Zika virus transmissions have been analyzed. In this study, we construct two models of Zika virus transmission. The first one is the vector-host model. It considers the human population as host and mosquito's population as the vector. The second model is where there is only infected human population who act as transmitter without the existence of infected mosquitoes in the population. The impact of modeling assumption of Zika virus is studied by analyzed the reproduction number using Next Generation Matrix (NGM) method. Formerly, we compare the dynamics of the two models by interpreting the reproduction number of each model. Biologically, the two models cause a similar effect. If the reproduction number is less than one, then the disease is extinct. Otherwise, an endemic condition exists. The numerical simulation also used to explain the comparison of two models. The recovery and the transmission period are solved to compare these two cases. Keywords: comparison, mathematical model, reproduction number, SEIR, Zika Virus.

Abstract

Intensive cultivation of Tilapia with high stock density and continuous artificial feeding will decrease the water quality and increase the growth of pathogenic bacteria. That situation led to the fish stressed so that the fish become the target of bacterial pathogen attacks. Alternatively, the environmental friendly treatment using herbal immunostimulant to solve that problem is required. The herbal in this study used neem leaf (Azadirachta indica A. Juss). The aim of this study was to evaluate ethanol fraction of neem leaf on immunostimulant activity of Oreochromis niloticus. In this study, the extraction method used maceration. Fractionation methods were using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Column Chromatography (CC). The biological component was analyzed using Phytochemical, FTIR and GC-MS methods. TLC test showed that ethyl acetate: n-hexane (1:1, v/v) result in brightest luminescence colors on the plates of silica gel under UV light (365 nm). The chromatography column from the ethanol extract of neem leaf (A. indica A. Juss) showed that separation of the fraction was done based on the formation of color, which obtained 5 (five) types of fractions. The results of the phytochemical test for the fraction 4 of neem leaf contains two compounds, i.e. flavonoids (+) and triterpenoids (++). The FTIR test showed that fraction 4 of neem leaves contain a class of terpenoid and flavonoid compounds. GCMS test results on fraction 4 of the neem leaves (A. indica A. Juss) obtained the high peak, which has 4 terpenoid compounds, 1 compound of flavonoid, and 1 type of lauric acid. The total leukocyte of the fish test increased after treated with fraction 4 of neem leaf (A. indica A. Juss) compared with control on day 7 after injection, i.e. 25.29 x 104 cells.mL-1.Keywords: fraction, leukocyte, Neem Leaves, Tilapia, Phytochemicals.

Abstract

Tidore Island in North Maluku Province is one of the clove (Syzygium aromaticum) producing regions. Clove plant fertility is maintained even though it is not given organic and inorganic fertilizers, it also keeps the fertility of the soil and the environment as a whole. Therefore, this study aims to explore bacteria in the rhizosphere of the clove trees planted in Tidore island as biofertilizer agents of Indol-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, and ammonium production. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of clove trees. Screening of the isolates was done according to qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection of the qualitative method were based on medium color changes for each variable while that the quantitative method (i.e. the concentrations of produced IAA, solubilized phosphate, and produced ammonium) were obtained based on spectrophotometry. The results obtained 110 bacterial isolates. Nineteen bacteria were potential as biofertilizer agents, of which isolate R11, R8P, and A1N showed the highest in IAA production (8.71 μgL-1), phosphate solubilization (8.37 μgL-1), and ammonium production (11.71 μgL-1), respectively. The three isolates respectively have similarities to the genus of Enterobacter, Burkholderia, and Stenotrophomonas. Keywords: Biofertilizer, Clove, Rhizobacteria, Rhizosphere.
