Seaweed of Kappaphycus alvarezii is generally cultivated by the long line method through the water surface. The verticulture method might be an alternative method by using water column. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of depth on the growth and carrageenan content of K. alvarezii which was cultivated vertically. Cultivation was carried out in the floating raft (10 x 10 m)2 contained of 36 vertical nets. The size of each net was 5 x 2 m2 whereas the depth was 0.2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 m. Seaweed seedlings of 50 g was each tied to the vertical nets; the distance between the knot was 20 cm. The results showed that the depth was significantly different to the daily growth rate of K. alvarezii (p<0.05) but did not affect carrageenan content (p>0.05). Therefore, this method might be applied as an alternative method to optimally increase seaweed production in narrow area without affecting seaweed quality.

Seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii is a pre-eminent commodity in the field of marine and fisheries Indonesia which has been widely cultivated in coastal waters. Currently, the main problem faced by the cultivators is the limited stock of seeds, both in terms of quality and quantity. Selection is one method that is expected to increase the rate of seaweed growth quickly, cheap, easy, bulk, and sustainable.This study aims to determine the effect of selection on the growth of seaweed so that it can be done superior seed production for cultivation purposes. Seaweed cultivation was done in Kulu Village, Wori District, North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi by using long line method in April-June 2015. Selection is based on the daily growth rate parameter (DGR) and the selection method refers to the selection protocol that has been developed on K. alvarezii seaweed. Results showed that DGR of selection seedlings were higher (P <0.05) compared to controls, in which DGR of selection reached 5.87%/day, while DGR of control was 1.89%/day. From three seed production cycles (G-1 - G-3), the average DGR resulted from the selection was 5.53%/day and control 2.19%/day. Carrageenan content of selection result is relatively higher (47.66%) than control (31.28%) with mean for three cycle (G-1 - G-3) that is 43.55% for selection and 33.20% for control. Water quality (temperature, salinity, nitrate, phosphate) during the study is still within the appropriate range for seaweed growth. Therefore it is concluded that with the application of the method of seaweed selection can increase the daily growth rate and carrageenan content of seaweed K. alvarezii which directly affects the increase of production both in quantity and quality.

One of the factors that define the success of seaweed is the planting methods It self. It is important because the method will directly affect the seaweed production. The main problem faced by seaweed farmer is declining the production over years. There are several reasons causing that problem, including, predator, desease and environment degradation. The purpose of this research is investigating the effectiveness of two different seaweed planting methods with the respect to the seaweed growth rate. The two methods that mentioned previously are off bottom and off bottom bracket method. The two methods are basically simillar, the first method (off bottom) is a conventional method, on the other hand, the second method was given an additional nets in order to cover the off bottom construction. The space between each seaweed planting on two different methods are defined similar, which are 25 cm. The initial planting weight was measured 100 grams. Observation was done for 42 days (6 week) and data collection was performed every 7 days on total of 10 individual seaweed each treatment. Absolute weight, daily growth rate, daily growth and specific growth rate are calculated. The data analysis will be done using F test at ? = 0.05 (SPSS 12.0). The result found that the growth rate of seaweed (Eucheuma cottoni) under off bottom bracket was not significantly different compared to the off bottom method (?= 0.476).

Kappaphycus alvarezii cultivation by the verticulture method has been introduced since 2013. However, scientific studies on some technical aspects are still needed to improve the quality, quantity, and continuity of production and utilization of area in a maximum and productive manner. One of them is the planting distance between seed clumps. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal planting distance between seed clumps on seaweed verticulture method. Seaweed was cultured using a 10x10 m2 floating raft containing 36 vertical nets of 5x2 m2/net. Seaweed seeds with an initial weight of 50 g were tied to a vertical net with a distance between knot on the verticulture net of 15 cm, 25 cm, and 35 cm. Seaweed cultivation was done for 3 cycles (1 cycle = 45 days) continuously in the cycle of planting season. The experimental units were prepared with Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 3 replications. The results showed that daily growth rate (DGR) and carrageenan content of seaweed planted with a distance of 15 cm, 25 cm, and 35 cm between clumps were not significantly different (P>0.05). However, it is recommended to apply 25 cm distance between seed clumps in the verticulture method.

Objective We quantified the association between public compliance with social distancing measures and the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the epidemic (March–May 2020) in 5 states that accounted for half of the total number of COVID-19 cases in the United States. Methods We used data on mobility and number of COVID-19 cases to longitudinally estimate associations between public compliance, as measured by human mobility, and the daily reproduction number and daily growth rate during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. Results The 5 states mandated social distancing directives during March 19-24, 2020, and public compliance with mandates started to decrease in mid-April 2020. As of May 31, 2020, the daily reproduction number decreased from 2.41-5.21 to 0.72-1.19, and the daily growth rate decreased from 0.22-0.77 to –0.04 to 0.05 in the 5 states. The level of public compliance, as measured by the social distancing index (SDI) and daily encounter-density change, was high at the early stage of implementation but decreased in the 5 states. The SDI was negatively associated with the daily reproduction number (regression coefficients range, –0.04 to –0.01) and the daily growth rate (from –0.009 to –0.01). The daily encounter-density change was positively associated with the daily reproduction number (regression coefficients range, 0.24 to 1.02) and the daily growth rate (from 0.05 to 0.26). Conclusions Social distancing is an effective strategy to reduce the incidence of COVID-19 and illustrates the role of public compliance with social distancing measures to achieve public health benefits.

Batur Lake is one of the natural lakes in the province of Bali where the activity of fishing, agriculture, tourism and housing available. This study aims to determine the effect of nitrate relation to the natural growth of the water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes). Increased water hyacinth biomass in Songan station is the highest among the three other stations (Batur, Buahan, and Trunyan). At the end of the study (day 42 ), water hyacinth biomass of Songan station increased by 338.2 % from the initial weight, while at another station the increase weight  ranges from 75 % -158 %. The highest daily growth rate in Trunyan station 3.68% / day, and the lowest in station Buahan which only reached 0.88% / day. At the Songan station where are many floating net which contribute to increase nitrate. There is a tendency of growth of water hyacinth faster at higher nitrate conditions. Nitrate conditions ranged from 0,35 to 0,62 m /l which shows that the waters of Batur Lake classified into waters that have a high fertility rate (eutrophic).
