The present study was aimed at evaluating the reproductive performance of the broodstock of purple mangrove crab (Scylla tranquebarica) fed natural food and formulated diets supplemented with astaxanthin and/or DHA. Formulated diets were supplemented with 500 mg kg-1 of astaxanthin (FA), 10 g kg-1 of DHA (FD) and both astaxanthin and DHA (FA+D). Diet without astaxanthin and DHA (FCon) and natural food (NF) consisted of forage fish (Valamugil sp.), shrimp (Penaeid sp.) and mangrove clam (Polymesoda sp.) to serve as control. Female broodstock of initial body weight 129.07±17.03 g were stocked in HDPE tank and cultured under recirculating water system. Broodstock maturation was monitored until spawning. Reproductive performance of female and condition of the larvae were also evaluated. After 50 weeks, broodstock fed FA+D diet showed better maturation percentage, spawning rate, gonadosomatic index, oocytes diameter, molting, molt death syndrome and survival rate than FCon group (P0.05) to the FA+D group but diet FD resulted in better performance than FA. Broodstock fed FA+D diet had the highest hatching rate, number of larvae produced and significantly higher zoea II survival compared to FCon and NF groups (P

Abstract Pond area for broodfish ranges from 500 to 1,000 m2 with a depth of 1-1.2 m. Broodfish density ranges from 0.2 to 0.3 kg m-2. Fresh food such as snails, small prawns and fish are used to feed broodfish at a feeding rate of 3.5% of total body weight per day. Water exchange is done periodically at 20-30% of total volume per time. Sticky eggs of sand goby adhere to substrates. Hatching takes place 22-48 hours after fertilization. A suitable temperature is 28-29°C and pH at 6.5-7.5. Nursing fry to fingerlings is carried out in ponds at a stocking density of 300-500 fish m-2. After nursing for 50-60 days, they can reach the size of 3 cm. Large fingerlings of 15-30 g are obtained after at least 3 months of nursing. Continuing nursing up to 5-6 months gives larger fingerlings (60-80 g) for grow-out. Stocking density is 5-10 fish m-2 in grow-out ponds and 30-40 fish m-2 in cages. Fish, small prawns, snails and by-products from slaughterhouses are used to feed the fish. They can reach a marketable size of 500 g or more after 6-7 months of culture.

ABSTRACT Ozone is used in many countries for the treatment of effluents, becoming a viable alternative in sanitation of coffee wastewater. However, the strong ozone oxidation, responsible for its germicidal effect, can also compromise grain and beverage quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of Arabica coffee in different periods of treatment with ozonated water and its effect after drying. Coffee fruits were subjected to ozonation at regular intervals of 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 min, with continuous stirring promoted by a recirculating water system at constant rate of 1 ppm of solubilized ozone. The design was completely randomized with five treatments and four replicates. After obtaining the data, the analysis of variance was performed and means were compared by Tukey test (p ≤ 0.05). The results showed a partial reduction of fungi after washing with ozonated water, but the same effect was not observed after drying. For coffee quality analysis, the longest times of exposure to the solubilized gas in the water produced some negative results in electrical conductivity and total and reducing sugars. However, the sensory quality of the beverage was maintained.

<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance and resistance to salinity stress of striped catfish juvenile reared in biofloc with different feeding rate (FR). The treatments applied in this study were rearing the fish in biofloc with FR 5% and 8% of biomass per day, and rearing the fish with a FR of 8% per day without biofloc system as the control. The fish with an initial average length of 1.81 ± 0.20 cm were stocked in 9 units of  50 L aquaria with density of 40 ind/aquaria (800 ind/m<sup>3</sup>) for 15 days rearing period. In biofloc systems, the addition of tapioca as a source of organic carbon was done every day with an estimated C/N ratio of 10. No water exchange was done in biofloc systems, whereas regular water exchange was applied in the control. Results of the experiment showed that survival was not significantly different amongst treatments (P&gt;0.05).  However, the specific growth rate of the fish in biofloc system with a FR of 8% per day showed the highest value and was significantly different from other treatments (P&lt;0.05). Fish reared in biofloc system tend to have lower feed conversion ratios (FCRs) than the control. The lowest FCR was found in fish reared in biofloc system with 5% FR and significantly lower than control (P&lt;0.05).  Salinity stress test was conducted by soaking 15 juveniles in water with a salinity of 20 g/L for an hour. The survival of fish after salinity stress test were significantly higher for fish reared in bifloc system than control (P&lt;0.05). These data showed that rearing striped catfish juvenile in biofloc system could reduce FCR, increase the growth, and robustness of fish.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: biofloc, feeding rate, growth, salinity stress test, striped catfish</p><p> </p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja pertumbuhan dan ketahanan benih ikan patin terhadap stres salinitas yang dipelihara dalam sistem bioflok dengan tingkat pemberian pakan (FR) berbeda. Perlakuan yang terdapat dalam penelitian ini adalah benih patin yang dipelihara dalam sistem bioflok dengan FR 5% dan 8% per hari, dan pemeliharaan benih dengan FR 8% per hari tanpa penambahan sumber karbon sebagai kontrol. Benih patin dengan panjang rata-rata awal 1,81 ± 0,20 cm dipelihara dalam 9 unit akuarium dengan volume air 50 L dan kepadatan 40 ekor/akuarium (800 ekor/m<sup>3</sup>) selama 15 hari. Pada sistem bioflok, penambahan tapioka sebagai sumber karbon dilakukan setiap hari dengan C/N 10. Pada sistem bioflok tidak dilakukan pergantian air, sedangkan pada kontrol dilakukan pergantian air. Kelangsungan hidup ikan tidak berbeda nyata antar perlakuan. Namun, tingkat pertumbuhan spesifik ikan dalam sistem bioflok dengan FR 8% per hari menunjukkan nilai tertinggi dan berbeda nyata antar perlakuan (P&lt;0,05). Benih yang dipelihara pada sistem bioflok memiliki rasio konversi pakan (FCR) yang lebih rendah dibandingkan kontrol, namun tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara perlakuan bioflok (P&gt;0,05). Uji stres salinitas dilakukan dengan merendam 15 ekor benih patin pada air dengan salinitas 20 g/L selama satu jam. Kelangsungan hidup setelah uji stres salinitas dari benih yang dipelihara di bioflok secara signifikan lebih tinggi dibandingkan kontrol (P&lt;0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemeliharaan benih patin pada sistem bioflok dapat menurunkan FCR, dan meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan ketahanan ikan terhadap stres salinitas.</p><p> </p><p>Kata kunci: bioflok, feeding rate, pertumbuhan, uji stres salinitas, ikan patin</p><p> </p>
