This study aimed to determine the effect of methyl testosterone natural hormoneon the rate of masculinization of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study used 270 tilapia larvae with the age of 7 days as experimental animals. Tilapia larvae were divided into 3 treatments; eachtreatment consisted of 30 larvae fish. This study was an experimental study using completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3replications. Treatment I as control group was fed with pellets ad libitum, treatment II was given feed containing methyl testosterone naturalhormone, and treatment group III was given hormone treatment by soaking the fish larvae with methyl testosterone natural hormone for 20hours. Larvae were raised in accordance with applicable procedures. Observation was conducted when the larvae fish were at 60 days old andthe sex of fish can be observed. Parameter examined was the percentage of the male sex. The average (± SD) percentage of male tilapia in groupPI, PII, and PIII were 36.39±3.97, 66.72±6.13, and 82.37±6.87%, respectively. The results showed that the percentage of male sex of tilapia fedwith natural hormone of methyl testosterone through the diet and dipping was significantly different (P0.05) from control fish. In conclusion,the administration of natural hormone of methyl testosterone increased the percentage of the male sex of tilapia).____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Key words: tilapia larvae, natural hormone methyl testosterone, the male sex percentage

Banggai Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is one of the endemic fish from the waters of the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi Province. One factor challenging the production of P. kauderni larvae is the male fish will nurture the eggs and larvae for 30 days, hindering next spawning cycle. One effort to overcome this problem an increase of male fish number should be performed, for example through sex reversal. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the hormone 17α-methyltestosterone (17α-MT) through Artemia sp. to increase male sex percentage P. kauderni. This study used a completely randomized design by testing four treatments namely feeding Artemia sp. which has been soaked with 2.0 mg of the 17α-MT hormone for two- hours given to P. kauderni larvae for 10 days (A); 20 days (B); 30 days (C), and without hormone treatment 17α-MT (control). Each treatment included control was performed in triplicates. The percentage of male sex was 93.33 % at 30 days treatment and was higher (P<0.05) compared to controls (53.3 %). Additionally, the results showed that daily growth rate, biomass gain and survival rate of all treatments were not significantly different (P>0.05) with those of control. In conclusion, Artemia sp. contained 17α-methyltestosterone enhanced male percentage of P. kaurderni. Keywords: growth, male percentage, Artemia sp., survival rate, Pterapogon kauderni

This research aims to determine the effect of temperature increase on hemoglobin consentration and hematocrit value of tilapia fish. This research was conducted at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Syiah Kuala University Banda Aceh. Samples used were blood from tilapia fish thatderived from 12 tilapia fish with weight range of 40-50 g. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) unidirectionalpattern with 3 treatments and 4 replications. P1 as a control group was the treatment with aquarium temperature of 29±1C, P2 was thetreatment with aquarium temperature of 32±1o C, and P3 was the treatment with aquarium temperature of 35±1o C. All aquarium size in thisstudy was 80 cm x 60 cm x 40 cm with the height of water 30 cm. The treatment was carried out for 15 days and on day 16 blood samples werecollected. Blood was taken through the caudalis vein. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) one way, followed by Tukey test.Mean (± SD) of tilpia fish hemoglobin levels (g/dl) on P1, P2, and P3 were 4.50±0.49, 5.08±0.79, and 6.08±0.94, respectively. Mean (± SD) oftilapia fish hematocrit value (%) in P1, P2, and P3 consecutively were 26.50±8.10, 33.25±11.78, and 40.25±9.04. Statistical analysis showed thatan increase in temperature showed no effect (P 0.05) to the hemoglobin levels of tilapia fish and highly significant to the hematocrit value (P0.01). It can be concluded that the increase of water temperature on 32±1° C and 35±1° C in can increase the hemoglobin levels andhematocrit value of tilapia fish.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Key words: tilaphia fish, hemoglobin levels, hematocri value, temperature o

This study tested the sublethal toxicity of mercury (Hg) in the flesh and tissue of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This research used an experimental method completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments used different Hg concentrations: Treatment A = 0.08 ppm; B = 0.16 ppm; C = 0.24 ppm; and the control group = without the addition of Hg. The parameters observed were the accumulation of mercury (Hg) in the flesh and tissue damage (histopathology) of the gills, kidneys and liver of tilapia. The results showed that the highest Hg accumulation was at the highest Hg concentration (treatment C = 0.24 ppm). Tissue damage was mainly found in the kidneys, liver and gills of fish exposed to Hg with indications of bleeding, tubular necrosis, vacuolization of epithelial cells, and mononuclear cell infiltration. The results showed that the toxicity of mercury to the organs increased with the increase in the concentration of Hg in water. Keywords : flesh, mercury, Oreochromis niloticus, sublethal, tissue
