Gejala Asimetris pada Lele Afrika Clarias gariepinus Tak Bersirip Pektoral Hasil Buidaya di Kolam

The purpose of this study was to describe the asymmetric potential possessed by the pectoral fin organ Clarias gariepinus catfish originating from maintenance in aquaculture ponds. Individuals who do not grow a pair of pectoral fins are mated to a normal pectoral finned individual to obtain fish seed (F1). The study was conducted from January to April 2017 at the Reproductive Laboratory of Aquaculture Studies Program Department of Water Resources Management Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science Universitas Brawijaya Malang. The observed variables are asymmetric score and Asymmetric Fluctuation Index (FA). The number of lefts and right pectoral fin radius, as well as abnormal F1 percentage, were analyzed. Long-weight relationship was analyzed by linear regression and PT/BB ratio. The conclusions using Mann Whitney-U Test (α = 0.01). The results showed that the population of F1 from the parent fish of the non-pectoral mortal differs very significantly with the controls on the asymmetry score variables (13.63±29.88), FA (1.25±2.05), the average number of pectoral left fins (8.95±3.22) - right fin (9.10±1.89), and the ratio of PT/BB (1.57±0.61) with a long-weighted relationship based on the equation y = 3.25x-2.04. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the catfish Afrika Clarias gariepinus with perfect loss pectoral fin has the potency to generate asymmetrical characters to its generation and rising FA that is influenced by the hybridization or crosses.

Nzoia river is mainly rain fed and the basin is one of the regions that is highly vulnerable to climate change in Kenya. Understanding rainfall variability and trends is important for better water resources management and economic development in the basin. The aim of this study is to assess variability and trends in rainfall at 13 sites within Nzoia River Basin over the period, 1970 to 2001, using the parametric test of Linear regression analysis and the non-parametric Mann–Kendall statistical test. Data for this study was obtained from the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD). The basin experiences four rainfall seasons in a year as a result of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). There are two rainy seasons and two dry seasons. Annual rainfall through Linear regression analysis shows 6 stations, Kaimosi Tea Estate Ltd, Kakamega Meteorological Station, Bungoma Water Supply, Nzoia Forest Station, Malava Forest Station and Webuye Agricultural Office with declining rainfalls. The remaining 7 stations, Leissa Farm Kitale, Turbo Forest Nursery, Chorlim ADC Farm, Kaptagat Forest Station, Kimilili Agricultural Department, Bunyala Irrigation Scheme and Kadenge Yala Swamp showed increasing rainfalls. The majority of stations with increasing annual rainfall are in the upper catchment whereas those with decreasing rainfall are in the middle and lower catchment. Only 3 out of the 13 stations showed statistically significant trends in rainfall with two in the upper catchment and one in the middle; the remaining 10 stations had statistically insignificant trends. These observed changes in rainfall, although most time series are not convincing as they show predominantly no significance, along with the reported climatic warming in most parts of the basin may have future implications on human health, water resources management, various plant and animal species bio-diversity and the overall economic development of the basin.

This paper will describe the function of water resources to support business activities in Surakarta regency, Central Java province. Surakarta is a business city in Central Java province with small business enterprises and specific culture. This city has a famous river with the name is Bengawan Solo. Bengawan Solo is a River Flow Regional (RFR) to support business activities in Surakarta regency. Concious with the function, societies and local government in Surakarta must to manage the sustainability of River Flow Regional (RFR) Bengawan Solo. It is important to manage the sustainability of business activity in Surakarta regency. According to the condition in Surakarta regency, this paper will explain how the simulation of Low Impact Development Model in Surakarta regency. Low Impact Development is a model that can manage and evaluate sustainability of water resources in River Flow Regional (RFR). Low Impact Development can analys goals, structures, and process water resources management. The system can also evaluate results and impacts of water resources management. From this study, we hope that Low Impact Development can manage water resources in River Flow Regional (RFR) Bengawan Solo.
