The study was conducted on King pigeons managed by a private breeder in Poland. The studied population consisted of three years old parent pigeon pairs of the King breed and the their offspring obtained during the breeding season (March-November). The aims of the research involved an evaluation of the reproductive performance of King pigeons, analysis of growth rate, survival, slaughter performance and mineral composition of squab meat. In the analyzed breeding season, an average of 8.7 eggs was obtained per female. The fertilization rate and hatching rate of chicks from fertilized eggs were 80.0% and 75.8%, respectively. The highest weight gain in pigeons was observed between the date of hatching and 4 weeks of age. Pigeons slaughtered at 6 weeks of age were characterized by higher slaughter performance (66.1%) than 4 week-old pigeons (60.4%). Meat of this pigeon breed is a rich source of valuable minerals such as potassium (4060 mg per kg), magnesium (296 mg per kg), iron (52 mg per kg), zinc (9 mg per kg) and silicon (30 mg per kg).

AbstractArgopecten irradians concentricus (Say), one of four geographic subspecies of the bay scallop, has become the major cultured species in southern China since its introduction in 1995. However, its population has been significantly reduced due to high mortality.Also, poor growth rate has been observed following decades of culture.Therefore, the introduction or creation of new varieties is an urgent need. This study describes the first introduction of the new strain, Bohai Red, from the north to southern China. Hybridization trials were conducted between the recently introduced new strain and the local specie, A. irradians concentricus (Say). The success of hybridization was confirmed by SSR maker.The adult and juvenile Bohai Red cannot tolerate high temperatures compared to A. irradians concentricus (Say), whether in natural waters or under laboratory conditions. Fertilization rate for A. irradians concentricus (Say) × Bohai Red exceeded 80%, and hatching rate was 70%. The hybrids exhibit heterosis in survival rate, growth rate, and high-temperature tolerance, demonstrating substantial potential to replace A. irradians concentricus (Say) in southern China.

Udang windu transgenik merupakan udang hasil rekayasa dengan mengintroduksikan gen antivirus yang diisolasi dari udang windu untuk menghasilkan fenotipe yang lebih baik. Domestikasi udang transgenik telah dilakukan dan berhasil memijah/bertelur, tetapi umumnya telurnya infertil yang disebabkan tidak terjadinya pembuahan di tambak pemeliharaan. Udang betina tidak kawin ditandai tidak membawa spermatofor di telikumnya. Upaya untuk mendapatkan telur fertil udang dengan inseminasi buatan (IB) perlu dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengevaluasi performa reproduksi udang betina transgenik dan mutu larva yang dihasilkan pasca IB menggunakan sumber spermatofor yang berbeda. Penelitian ini dirancang dengan tiga perlakuan yaitu: IB menggunakan spermatofor udang windu jantan transgenik (SJT), spermatofor udang windu jantan alam Sulawesi Selatan (SulSel) (SJS) dan spermatofor udang windu jantan alam Aceh (SJA). IB dilakukan pada udang windu betina transgenik setelah dua hari moulting. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa udang windu betina transgenik pasca IB perlakuan SJT menghasilkan total telur fertil sebanyak 766.949 butir, perlakuan SJS 535.644 butir dan perlakuan SJA 678.016 butir dengan daya tetas telur fertil yaitu: pada SJT, SJS, dan SJA masing-masing adalah 53,5%; 53,7%; dan 55,0%. Uji vitalitas larva dengan perendaman dalam larutan formalin 150-200 mg/L, perendaman air tawar: 5-15 menit, dan pengeringan 3-9 menit menghasilkan sintasan larva udang yang relatif sama pada ketiga perlakuan. Nilai morfologi larva perlakuan SJT, SJA, dan SJS adalah masing-masing 85,0; 84,5; dan 75,0. Dari hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa performa reproduksi udang windu betina transgenik dan mutu larva yang dihasilkan pasca IB tidak dipengaruhi oleh sumber spermatofor induk udang windu jantan Penaeus monodon.Transgenic tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon has been developed in the last decade to equip shrimp with immunity against viral diseases. However, the effort to produce large quantities of specific pathogen resistance (SPR) tiger shrimp seed is hampered by several constraints in the domestication process. The successfulness of domesticated broodstock in producing larvae is very low due to low fertilization rate. An artificial insemination (AI) offers a solution to increase fertilization rate in crustacean. This study was aimed to evaluate the reproductive performance of female transgenic tiger shrimp broodstock and their larval quality after artificially inseminated with males from different sources. The spermatophores of male from different sources i.e. transgenic male spermatophore (SJT), wild male from South Sulawesi (SJS), and wild male from Aceh (SJA) were collected through electric shock and inseminated to female transgenic broodstock two days after moulting. The results showed that the total numbers of fertile eggs produced from SJT, SJS, and SJA treatment were 766,949 pcs; 535,644 pcs; and 678,016 pcs, respectively and not significantly different (P>0.05). Similar to the number of fertile eggs, the hatching rate of eggs of SJT (53.5%), SJS (53.7%), and SJA (55.0%) also did not indicate any significant differences (P>0.05). On the larval vitality test by soaking the larvae in formalin and freshwater as well as by air exposure at different duration showed no significant difference on the survival rate (P>0.05) as indicated by score value at each treatment of 85.0, 84.5, and 75.0 for SJT, SJS, and SJA, respectively. In conclusion, the reproductive performance of female transgenic tiger shrimp and their larval quality were not affected by the different sources of spermatophores inseminated artificially during the spawning cycle.

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.

Ikan Tor merupakan genus yang potensi dibudidayakan karena memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi. Masalah yang ada adalah lambatnya pertumbuhan dan rendahnya tingkat sintasan benih ikan tersebut dalam jumlah yang memadai untuk pembudidaya. Hibridisasi atau persilangan merupakan suatu upaya untuk mendapatkan kombinasi antara populasi yang berbeda untuk menghasilkan keturunan yang memiliki sifat unggul. Hibridisasi tiga spesies ikan Tor secara resiprokal antara Tor soro (Ts), Tor douronensis (Td), dan Tor tambroides (Tt) dilakukan guna untuk mengetahui keberhasilan hibridisasi beda spesies tetapi masih dalam genus. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan enam perlakuan dan tiga kali ulangan hasil hibrida. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan nilai derajat pembuahan tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Td >< Ts (93,66 ± 1,15%), daya tetas tertinggi dihasilkan dari persilangan Td >< Ts (88,00 ± 1,00%), laju pertumbuhan spesifik bobot tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Ts >< Td dan Ts >< Tt (5,62 ± 0,17%; 5,44 ± 0,06%), laju pertumbuhan spesifik panjang tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Ts >< Td (1,79 ± 0,11%) dan sintasan tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Tt >< Ts (86,00 ± 3,60%). Nilai heterosisyang meliputi derajat pembuahan, daya tetas telur, pertumbuhan benih, dan sintasan ikan sampai umur 41 hari menunjukkan nilai negatif, kecuali laju pertumbuhan spesifik bobot. Hibridisasi berdampak pada meningkatnya jumlah larva abnormal yang dihasilkan dibanding tetuanya (pure breed).Tor fish has the potential to be commercially developed as a farmed fish due to its high economic value and market demand. However, slow growth and low survival rate of the fish larvae and insufficient seed availability for aquaculture farmers are the main bottlenecks to develop a profitable aquaculture for tor fish. Hybridization or crossbreed is an attempt to get a combination between different populations to produce offspring inheriting superior characters. A reciprocal hybridization between Tor soro (Ts), Tor douronensis (Td), and Tor tambroides (Tt) was carried out to assess the success rate of hybridization between the three species. The study used an experimental design with six treatments and three replications to measure and compare hybridization and survival parameters between the species. The highest fertilization rate attained by hybridization Td >< Ts (93.66 ± 1.15%, the highest hatching rate was achieved by Td >< Ts (88.00 ± 1.00%), the highest weight specific growth rate was gained by hybridization Ts >< Td and Ts >< Tt (5.62 ± 0.17%; 5.44 ± 0.06%), the highest lenght specific growth rate was achieved by hybridization Ts >< Td (1.79 ± 0.11%) and highest survival rate was resulted from hybridization between Tor tambroides >< Tor tambroides (90.33 ± 1.52%). The observed heterosis (degree of fertilization rate, hatching rate, growth rate, and survival rate until the age of 41 days) showed that all parameter characters were negative, except for the weight-specific growth rate characters. This study concludes that hybridization have an impact on increasing the number of abnormal larvae produced compared to their parents (pure-breed).

ABSTRACT The intensification of catfish culture requires a regular and sustainable good seeds quality. Microbial-based aquaculture with probiotic application is expected to improve the reproductive performance of catfish. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive performance of catfish given probiotics Bacillus sp. NP5 with different concentrations through feed. This study used a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with the administration of probiotic Bacillus sp. NP5 at 2% concentration of 108 CFU/mL and 1010 CFU/mL in feed given and control (without probiotics), then repeated four times. Catfish broodstocks with an average size of 955 ± 261.27 g were kept in a net sized 1 m×1 m×1 m with seven broodstocks per net. Parameters observed included the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI), fecundity, number of matured eggs, frequency distribution of egg diameter, fertilization rate, and hatching rate. The result showed that the GSI value of female catfish broodstock was significantly different in sixth week as the highest value was obtained from 1010 CFU/mL probiotics with 5.19%. Moreover, the fecundity of all treatments showed significantly different results (P<0.05) as the highest value was on the concentration of 1010 CFU/mL Bacillus sp. NP5 with 137,123 ± 32,635 eggs/broodstock. This study concludes that the administration of probiotics Bacillus sp. NP5 with 1010 CFU/mL in feed given to catfish broodstock increases the fecundity (137,123 eggs/broodstock), GSI (5.19%), number of matured eggs percentage (64.50%), and hatching rate (82.53%).  Keywords: Bacillus sp. NP5, catfish, reproductive performance   ABSTRAK   Intensifikasi budidaya ikan lele menuntut penyediaan benih yang berkualitas secara teratur dan berkelanjutan.
