AbstrakPermintaan ikan clown (Amphiprion percula) saat ini cukup tinggi, baik untuk pemenuhan pasar dalam negeri dan pengiriman ke luar negeri. Perkembangan kondisi pasar yang menggiurkan tersebut, tentu akan memacu para eksportir untuk mengeksploitasi sumber dialam secara tidak terkendali. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk menghitung persentase penetasan dan performa pertumbuhan benih ikan clown. Studi ini dilaksanakan di Balai Perikanan Budidaya Laut (BPBL) Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Studi ini menggunakan metode observasi secara langsung pada wadah pembenihan dan pemeliharaan larva ikan clown. Induk ikan clown dipijahkan pada akuarium ukuran 0,4 m × 0,3 m × 0,5 m. Jumlah telur yang dihasilkan bervariasi sekitar 403-698 butir/induk dengan persentase fertilisasi dan penetasan, masing-masing sebesar 97,29 dan 82,87 %.. Selanjutnya larva dan benih ikan dipelihara di bak beton dengan ukuran 2 m × 2 m × 1 m. Persentase kelangsungan hidup benih mencapai 98,33 % dan peningkatan bobot tubuh rerata setiap minggu adalah 0,332 , 0,343, 0,388, dan 0,421 g. Budidaya ikan clown di darat dengan kelangsungan hidup tinggi dapat mengurangi tingkat eksploitasi ikan clown di alam dan kebutuhan akan ekspor ikan hias dapat terpenuhi.Kata kunci- Amphiprion percula, pembenihan, pembesaran benih, hatching rate, survival rate

Ikan baung (Hemibagrus nemurus) memiliki prospek bagus untuk dikembangkan sebagai komoditas budidaya di Indonesia karena citarasa daging yang enak banyak diminati konsumen. Dewasa ini, peningkatan produksi benih dapat dilakukan melalui pemijahan buatan dengan manipulasi hormonal. Penelitian yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi produksi induk ikan baung melalui pemijahan buatan dengan dosis penyuntikan GnRH-a berbeda. Penelitian dilakukan di Instalasi Riset Plasma Nutfah Perikanan Air Tawar, Cijeruk, Bogor pada bulan November 2017. Induk betina ikan baung yang digunakan berukuran 465,0 ± 71,8 g; dan induk jantan 426,3 ± 46,8 g. Induksi dilakukan dengan penyuntikan hormon GnRH-a dengan tiga dosis yang berbeda pada induk betina (0,3; 0,5; dan 0,7 mL/kg bobot badan), dan ikan jantan dengan dosis 0,4 mL/kg bobot badan. Masing-masing perlakuan terdiri atas tiga ekor induk betina sebagai ulangan. Hormon disuntikkan secara intramuskular, diberikan dua kali penyuntikan 35% dari dosis total pada penyuntikan pertama, dan 65% diberikan pada penyuntikan kedua, dengan interval waktu penyuntikan delapan jam. Parameter yang diamati yaitu jumlah telur ovulasi, derajat pembuahan, derajat penetasan, dan sintasan larva selama tujuh hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis penyuntikan hormon GnRH-a 0,5 mL/kg pada induk ikan baung saat proses pemijahan buatan menghasilkan derajat penetasan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dosis 0,3 dan 0,7 mL/kg; serta sintasan larva yang lebih baik dibandingkan dosis 0,7 mL/kg. Sedangkan nilai jumlah telur yang berhasil ovulasi dan derajat pembuahan yang relatif lebih baik ditemukan pada perlakuan dosis 0,7 mL/kg dibandingkan dengan dosis 0,3 dan 0,5 mL/kg.Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) has a good prospect to be developed as aquaculture commodity in Indonesia. It was proved by the demand of consumers regarding to its delicious flesh taste. Recently, efforts to increase seedling production could be implemented through artificial spawning with hormonal manipulation. This study was conducted to evaluate the production of broodstocks through artificial spawning with different doses of GnRH-a. Study was conducted at Research Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Germplasm, Cijeruk, Bogor in November, 2017. The broodstock used in this study was 465.0 ± 71.8 g for females, and 426.3 ± 46.8 g for males. Induction was performed by injection of GnRH-a hormone with three different doses on female broodstocks (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mL/kg of body weight), and male broodstocks with a dose of 0.4 mL/kg of body weight. Each treatment consisted of three females as replications. The hormone was injected intramuscularly, given twice injection: 35% of the total dose is given at the first injection, and the remaining 65% was given at the second injection, with an injection time interval of eight hours. The results showed the observed parameters of number of the ovulated eggs, fertilization rate, hatching rate, and larval survival for seven days, treatment dosage of 0.5 mL/kg showed better results (P<0.05) than the dosage of 0.3 mL/kg and 0.7 mL/kg. Parameters observed were number of ovulated eggs, fertility rate, hatching rate, and survival rate for seven days. The results showed that the dosage of 0.5 mL/kg GnRH-a injection to the broodstock during artificial spawning resulted in higher hatching rate compared to 0.3 and 0.7 mL/kg and better larval survival rate than the dosage of 0.7 mL/kg. Meanwhile, the number of ovulated eggs and fertility rate was relatively better in the treatment of 0.7 mL/kg compared with the dosage of 0.3 and 0.5 mL/kg.

Labeo bata is one of the important minor carps in Bangladesh with great demand as good table fish. The study was conducted to observe the breeding performance at different management practices in Mafatema, Rupali, Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery and disinfection treatments of water, eggs and fry in Jessore, Bangladesh during 10 March 2014 to 15 May 2015. An improvement in broodstock nutrition and feeding has been shown to greatly improve seed production. Protein and lipid percentage of broodstock diet have been identified as major dietary factors. Protein level was 24.77%, 23.47%, 18.08%, 17.78% and lipid level was 11.07%, 9.50%, 7.74%, 8.14% in Mafatema, Rupali, Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery respectively. Three concentrations of four chemical-formalin (10, 20, 30 mg/L), malachite green (1, 3, 5 mg/L), NaCl (1, 2, 3 g/L) and methylene blue ( 1, 3, 5 mg/L) treatment regimes and a control were compared for efficacy in treating L. bata eggs to prevent fungus and bacterial infection and improve hatch and survival rate of fry. Highest correlation value between absolute fecundity and body weight (r=.938, p<.05) and total length (r=.891, p<.05) and gonadosomatic index (26.2%) were found in Mafatema fish hatchery among four experimental hatcheries at 24.77% protein and 11.07% lipid level. Better fertilization rate (84.2±5.17%) and hatching rate (82.0±4.30%) were found in Mafatema and Rupali fish hatchery respectively that has significant difference (P<0.05) from that of Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery at higher protein and lipid level. Lowest deformity rate (6.05+2.65) was observed in Mafatema fish hatchery that was significantly different (P<0.05) from that of Modhumoti fish hatchery. In case of disinfection treatment, methylene blue at 1mg/L bath treatment daily for 4 days showed significantly higher hatching rate (92.33±3.51%) and survival rate (94.33±4.73%).Asian J. Med. Biol.

Recently, there has been development of an antifreeze polyamino acid (carboxylated poly-l-lysine: PLL) as new cryoprotectants (CPA). This compound counts as amphoteric macromolecular cationic and anionic substituents (polyampholyte) by chemically modifying poly-lysine. In addition, PLL is highly safe and frequently used as a food additive in substitution for other CPA. Other common CPA have high toxicity and caused physiological damage. In vitro-produced blastocysts were randomly assigned into 3 groups: (1) vitrified embryos with PLL vitrification solution [PLL-vit-1: 15% PLL + 15% ethylene glycol (EG); PLL-vit-2: 30% PLL + 30% EG + 0.5 M sucrose], (2) vitrified embryos with Vajta et al. solution (Conv-vit-1: 7.5% dimethyl sulfoxide + 7.5% EG; Conv-vit-2: 16.5% dimethyl sulfoxide + 16.5% EG + 0.5 M sucrose), and (3) nonvitrified blastocysts (control). All embryos were frozen by droplet vitrification method. First, the PLL-vitrified embryos were exposed to 5, 10, and 15 min in the PLL-vit-1 and then putted for 30 to about 60 s in the PLL-vit-2. Then, we compared with each group regarding exposure time of Vit-1. Post-thaw survival rate of each exposure time did not significantly differ among the 3 groups (100 v. 100 v. 100%). However, hatching rate of the 10-min exposure group was higher than that of 5- and 15-min groups (75.0 v. 25.0 v. 66.7; P < 0.05). Therefore, we confirmed that exposure time of Vit-1 was exposed for a minimum of 10 min. The post-thawed survival rate of each vitrification method was not significantly different between PLL-vit and Conv-vit groups (97.7 v. 86.4%). The total cell numbers of blastocyst did not significantly differ among groups. However, the apoptotic cell numbers of blastocyst was significantly different between the control and Conv-vit groups (0.4 ± 0.6 v. 4.4 ± 3.9; P < 0.05) but was not different in control v. PLL-vit (0.4 ± 0.6 v. 2.1 ± 2.4) and Conv-vit v. PLL-vit (4.4 ± 3.9 v. 2.1 ± 2.4). In conclusion, PLL-vit for bovine blastocyst could reduce toxicity and osmotic shock and showed high efficiency on the quality of post-thawed bovine blastocysts compared with that of Conv-vit.This work was partly supported by a grant from the Next-Generation BioGreen 21 Program (No. PJ009587022014), IPET (Grant No. 112020-3), and a scholarship from the BK21 plus program.

To advance the use of embryo vitrification technology in veterinary practice, we developed a system in which embryo vitrification, warming, and dilution can be performed within a straw. An in-straw embryo cryopreservation method reduces the need for equipment and technical skills and can facilitate direct embryo transfer to the uterus. This study proposes the use of a new device named “Sarah” that is designed to permit all in-straw embryo cryopreservation procedures. Ovine in vitro-produced (IVP) embryos were vitrified at either early blastocyst stage (EB, n = 65, 6 days post-IVF) or fully expanded blastocyst stage (FB, n = 168, 7 days post-IVF). The vitrification procedure using Sarah constituted a 0.25-mL straw with a capsule having 50-µm pores inserted at one end. Embryos at each stage (EB and FB) were divided into 2 subgroups and vitrified by 1 of 2 methods: (1) multi-step (MS) group-a straw containing 2 embryos was sequentially loaded vertically into 1.5-mL tubes containing 6 different vitrification solutions: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100% ES (with 100% ES being 7.5% DMSO +7.5% EG + 20% FCS in TCM-199; 90 s each step) followed by 30 s each in 75 and 100% VS (100% VS being 18% DMSO +18% EG + 0.5 M trehalose + BSA in TCM-199); and (2) two-step (TS) group-the straw (2 embryos/straw) was loaded with 100% of ES (5 min), followed by 100% VS solution for 30 s. For both methods, at the end of the preparation steps, the straws were plunged directly into liquid N2. Non-vitrified embryos were maintained in in vitro culture as a control group (n = 102). The warming procedure consisted of placing the straws directly into 5-mL tubes containing 100, 50, 25% WS (WS = 1 M sucrose in TCM-199+ 20% FCS) at 38.6°C (for first solution) and at room temperature for all the rest (5 min each), before being placed into the holding medium. Embryos were recovered from the straws, incubated at 38.6 C in 5% CO2 in air in TCM 199 + 5% FCS, and evaluated for blastocoel re-expansion, embryo survival, and hatching rate at 2, 14, 48 h post-warming. Blastocyst re-expansion (2 h) after warming increased as the developmental stage progressed and was not affected by the vitrification method. In fact, it was significantly (P < 0.05) higher for FB vitrified in the MS and TS methods (77.90% and 71.25%, respectively) compared with the EB method (62.5% and 48.50%, respectively). At 24 h, survival rate of vitrified FB was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the MS system (95.35%) compared with those in TS (86.25%). Survival rates of FB embryos for both methods (MS and TS) were significantly higher (P < 0.001) than EB embryos vitrified in MS (56.25%) and TS (56.55) methods. After 48 h of culture, the hatching rate for FB vitrified in the MS system (87.21%) was comparable with TS (77.5%) and control (85.3%) groups but significantly higher (P < 0.001) than vitrified EB in MS (43.75%) and TS (36.36%). In conclusion, we showed that a high survival rate of IVP embryos can be achieved by this new in-straw vitrification and warming device (“Sarah”), with hatching rates in vitro comparable with that of control fresh embryos. This method has the potential for use in direct embryo transfer in field conditions.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of astaxanthin in broodfish diets on reproductive performance, egg quality and larvae quality parameters of clownfish (Amphirion ocellaris). Five treatments were tested with 5 levels of astaxanthin (Carophyll Pink 10% CWS) of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg added to the feed. Each treatment was repeated in triplicate and the supplemental feeding trials were arranged for 13 months. The results showed that there were significant differences in hatching rate of egg, malformed rate and survival rate of larvae in 3 days post-hatch (p<0.05) among the feeding trials of astaxanthin supplements. The highest hatching rate of egg and survival rate and the lowest malformed rate of larvae were observed in the treatment that was supplemented with astaxanthin 150 mg/kg feed, respectively 92.14 %; 93.57 % and 0.55 %. However, the astaxanthin supplementary diets did not affect the re-maturation and spawning period, spawning frequency, fecundity, egg diameter and larval size of nemo fish among the treatments. The results also suggested that astaxanthin requirement for clownfish broodstock to improve reproductive performance was 150 mg/kg feed.

The experiments investigated the reproductive performance of the domesticated broodstock of the silver perch and the relationship between various degrees of oil globule fragmentation and egg quality. Six years old of second generation broodstock (n=3) were evaluated based on the fecundity, fertilisation rate, hatching rate, the degree of oil fragmentation of egg, and the quality of embryos and larvae produced. The fragmentation were grouped into three categories: un-fragmented (cat-1), moderately fragmented (cat-2), and highly fragmented (cat-3). The results showed that the broodstock had a relatively high fecundity (132,400 ± 7,22), fertilization rate (94.27 ± 1.28%), and hatching rates (87.94 ± 1.23%). The survival rate of larvae at 12 days post hatching (dph) in cat-1 (71.3 ± 0.9%) was higher than cat-2 (66.7 ± 0.9%) whereas cat-2 was higher than cat-3 (61.3 ± 0.3%). The eggs was dominated by cat-1 (78.11 ± 2.44%) which was significantly higher than cat-2 (21.26 ± 2.45%) and cat-3 ones (0.40 ± 0.21%). The survival rate of embryo at 20 hours post spawning (hps) and hatching rate of cat-1 (95.33 ± 0.00% and 93.33 ± 0.00%) and cat-2 (90.00 ± 0.00% and 85.00 ± 0.00%) were significantly higher than cat-3 (72.33 ± 1.76% and 60.33 ± 0.00%). The total length (TL) of the larvae of cat-1 and cat-2 (8.44 ± 0.21 mm and 8.35 ± 0.23 mm respectively) were significantly higher than larvae of cat-3 (7.09 ± 0.14 mm). No significant difference was found in the larval deformities among any categories. In conclusion, the reproductive performance of six year-old broodstock silver perch showing acceptable performance and egg categorisation based on oil globule fragmentation can be used as a useful tool to indicate eggs quality of silver perch.

Permintaan ikan belida cukup tinggi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi dan bahan baku olahan makanan yang masih mengandalkan tangkapan dari alam. Tingginya eksploitasi mengakibatkan populasi ikan dari tahun ke tahun semakin berkurang dan terancam punah. Teknologi pembenihan ikan belida dengan penggunaan hormon diduga dapat meningkatkan produksi larva untuk keperluan budidaya. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi performasi pemijahan ikan belida secara alami dan buatan melalui induksi hormon HCG dan LHRH analog. Pemijahan alami dan buatan dilakukan menggunakan induk betina sebanyak enam ekor dan jantan tiga ekor (rasio 2:1). Induk yang digunakan berukuran panjang 46 ± 5 cm dan bobot 2.209 ± 623 g. Pemijahan buatan dilakukan dengan induksi hormon HCG dosis 500 IU/kg dan LHRH analog dosis 0,5 mL/kg. Penyuntikan HCG dan LHRH diberikan dengan interval 24 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada pemijahan buatan (induksi hormon) diperoleh induk yang memijah sebanyak dua ekor dengan nilai diameter telur (3,1 ± 0,3 mm); fekunditas (282-907 butir); derajat pembuahan (21%-40%); derajat penetasan (56%-75%); dan sintasan (30%-50%); sedangkan pada pemijahan alami diperoleh satu ekor induk yang memijah dengan nilai diameter telur (3,5 ± 0,3 mm); fekunditas (1.616 butir); dan derajat pembuahan (86,7%); selama tiga bulan pengamatan secara intensif dengan frekuensi pemijahan enam kali. Aplikasi teknologi pemijahan dengan menggunakan induksi hormon dapat menghasilkan produk larva pada ikan belida.The demand for fish consumption of Clown Knifefish is considerably high. However, the fish supply for consumption and processed food still relies on wild-caught. Such exploitation has decreased the population of Clown Knifefish to a point that it can become an endangered species. Efforts on the breeding technology of Clown Knifefish through natural and artificial propagation using of hormones have shown promising results. The current study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Clown Knifefish in natural and artificial spawning conditions using the induction of HCG hormone and LHRH analogues. The natural and artificial spawning treatments were conducted using six fish females and three fish males (a ratio of 2:1). The average Broodstocks’ size was 46 ± 5 cm in length and 2,209 ± 623 g in weight. The artificial spawning was conducted with HCG hormone induction (dose of 500 IU/kg body weight) and LHRH analogue (dose: 0.5 mL/kg). HCG and LHRH injections were given within 24 hours interval. The results showed that the artificial spawning (hormone induction) had successfully caused two broodstock to spawn producing eggs with the diameter of 3.1 ± 0.3 mm; fecundity of 282-907 eggs; fertilization rate of 21%-40%; hatching rate of 56%-75%; and survival rate of 30%-50%. In the natural spawning, one broodstock had spawned with the egg diameter of 3.5 ± 0.3 mm; fecundity of 1,616 eggs; and fertilization rate of 86.7%. This study concludes that spawning technology applications using hormonal induction can increase the production larvae of Clown Knifefish broodstock.
