Anexposure of low-powered laserpuncture at reproductive acupoint of catfish brood stock is known stimulate oocyte maturation. However, the profile of oocyte resulted from laserpuncture exposure has not been known. The present study aimed to identify the profile of catfish (Clarias sp.) oocyte in post-exposure laserpuncture. A total of 48 catfishes with ages of 8-9 months was grouped into two, i.e. fishes were exposed with laserpuncture and without exposure to laserpuncture (control) with 3 replications. Laserpuncture exposure was conducted once a week until the brood stock matured. Profile of oocyte such as, the GSI value, egg diameter, total of oocytes and the gonad maturity stage were examined. The results showed that laserpuncture exposure at the catfish reproductive acupoint could trigger the oocyte development without reducing quality of the oocyte indicated by the increase of gonadosomatic index (GSI), oocyte diameter, total of oocytes and gonad maturity stage similar to control. Moreover, laserpuncture exposure accelerated the gonad maturation, three weeks faster than control.

Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus) locally named as rengganis, is a demersal fish species that is commonly caught in Scottish seine fisheries off the north coast of Java. The fisheries are in heavily harvest level since decades. The aim of this study was to observe the biological aspects of this species. Observations were made between August 2014-July 2015 from Tegal fishing port, western part of north coast central Java. General life-history parameters were measured, i.e., monthly length frequency for 1876 fishes, among them 573 specimens were observed for length-weight relationship, including 541 specimens for sex ratio and maturity stages. Fulton index, Gonadosomatic index, sex ratio and estimated length at first mature were analyzed. The result showed fish size ranged between 7.4 to 15.3 cmFL with the average length of 11.2+1.75 cmFL. We found that length-weight relationship tends to be isometric which statistically the body growth coefficient (b) is equal to 3 (tc = 0.53 < tab; p<0.05) . Monthly Fulton indexes ranged between 1.05-2.87 with an average of 1.90 + 0.17. Sex ratio during observation was not significantly different (p<0.05) from the expected ratio of 1: 1. Mature females occurred year-round with the highest percentage observed from January to April 2015. The estimated length at first maturity was 13.04 cm FL. These biological parameters will be used to support the population study of the future demersal fish species to improve conservation and management measures.

The length – weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (K), sex ratio, gonadosomatic index (G S I) and hepatosomatic index (H S I) of 412 specimens of Pseudotolithu s s enegalensis (Valenciennes, 1833) from Tombo , a coastal fishing community in the western rural district of Sierra Leone were studied for twelve months . Samples used for the study were collected from the catches of artisanal fishers and measurement s of length and weight of samples were done in situ using the facilities of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. Samples for the reproductive study were preserved in an ice box and taken to the laboratory of the Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, Njala University , Sierra Leone for analysis. The parameters "a" and "b" of the length - weight relationship were estimated using the equation described by Ricker ( W = aL b ) while the condition factor was calculated using Fulton`s equation (K = W1 00 / L 3 ) . The reproductive biology of the fish was estimated using Gonadosomatic index ( GSI ) and Hepatosomatic index ( H S I ) . The combined LWR for both sexes showed that a, b and r values were – 2.57 , 3. 3 5 and 0. 899 , respectively. The r – values obtained show a strong linear relationship between the length and weight of the species. The length - weight relationship indicated allometric growth for P . senegalensis in the study area. The condition factor (K) varied from 0.64 – 1.0 ; this may be attributed to environmental conditions of the water . The species clearly exhibited a positive allometric growth pattern ( tα ( 2) , 0.05, 411 > 1.965) . The sex ratio of males to females was 1:1. 15 and was not significantly different from the expected 1:1 ratio. Estimation of GSI and HSI was carried out from December, 2010 to May, 2011 to determine the spawning behaviour of P. senegalensis . The mean GSI obtained indicate d that March and April , respectively are the two peak spawning period for the species . Gonado somatic index ranged between 1.1 % and 2.8% for the females. The results of this study revealed that P. senegalensis doe s not have obligatory spawning month but exhibit multiple spawning behaviour. T he length - w eight relationships and condition factor of the study indicated that the fish were thriving very well in the coastal water of Sierra Leone. Sustainable management of the species , therefore , require s that the environment be protected against anthropogenic pollution and imposition of closed fishing season especially during the t wo peak spawning period is recommended to enable the species recruit effectively.

Abstract: The Hamilton’s anchovy (Thryssa hamiltonii Gray, 1835) is one of main target species in Indonesian small pelagic fishery. This engraulids member is characterized by short lifespan and fast reproductive cycle. The research aims were to explore the reproduction aspects of the females Hamilton’s anchovy in terms of changes in length at first maturity, spawning seasons, and fecundity as well as egg diameter as reproductive output. Fish was collected weekly during 2009 at fish landing site at Gebang Mekar, Cirebon. The fish was length measured, after which ovaries staged for gonadal maturity stage (GMS), fecundity, and eggs diameter. Length frequency data was all linked to this reproductive aspects. The results showed that Lm was 171.5 ± 1.62 mm, comparable to annual calculation of 171.05 ± 0.01 mm, Lc largely tend to smaller than Lm which indicated to unsustainable fishing. Fish spawns monthly with fecundity range between 3,456 – 15,843 (8,261 ± 2,776 eggs), it might be categorized as high fecundity fish relative to its body size. The distribution of eggs diameter showed 2-3 modus, i.e. they are partial spawner fish. The discrepancies in reproductive ouput is suggested to be influenced by seasons which characterized by different environmental conditions. Keywords: Hamilton’s anchovy, females, length, spawning, reproductive output

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to evaluate the profile of 17ß-estradiol (E2) and vitellogenin (Vtg) in plasma and egg diameter during gonad maturity process of striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Blood samples were collected from immature striped catfish, male and female with different stage of gonad maturity (stage I, II, III, and IV) to measure the concentrations of E2 and Vtg. Gonad maturity development of striped catfish was observed based on egg diameter. Result showed that E2 concentrations were the highest (843.65 pg/mL) on female with maturity stage III, the lowest on the male (26.34 pg/mL), and immature female fish (29.37 pg/mL). The protein band of Vtg was obtained on the plasma of the mature female (stage I, II, III and IV) with a molecular weight (MW) between 140−180 kDa, but it was not obtained on immature female dan male striped catfish. The highest concentration of Vtg was found in the plasma of the female fish with maturity stage III (87.34 mg/mL), then on the stage II (74.83 mg/mL), I (68.58 mg/mL), and IV (33.45 mg/mL). It showed that egg yolk formation occurred in the female mature. The average egg diameter was 0.107 ± 0.052 mm, 0.318 ± 0.086 mm, 0.864 ± 0.099 mm, and 1.041 ± 0.058 mm on the maturity stage I, II, III, and IV respectively. The increase of egg diameter along with development of gonad maturity stage indicated that egg development occurred due to the process of vitellogenesis and the addition of egg yolk on oocyte. Keywords : egg diameter, gonad maturity, striped catfish , 17ß–estradiol, vitellogenin ABSTRAK Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi profil estradiol-17β (E2), vitelogenin (Vtg) dalam plasma dan diameter telur pada proses pematangan gonad ikan patin siam (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). Sampel darah untuk pengukuran konsentrasi E2 dan Vtg plasma diperoleh dari ikan patin siam betina yang belum matang gonad, ikan jantan, ikan betina dengan tahap kematangan gonad yang berbeda (tahap I, II, III dan IV). Perkembangan kematangan gonad ikan patin siam diamati berdasarkan diameter telur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi E2 tertinggi (843,65 pg/mL) pada ikan betina dengan kematangan tahap III, terendah pada ikan jantan (26,34 pg/mL), dan ikan betina tidak matang gonad (29,37 pg/mL). Pita protein Vtg pada sampel plasma diperoleh dari betina matang gonad (tahap I, II, III dan IV) dengan berat molekul antara 140-180 kDa, tetapi tidak diperoleh pada ikan patin siam betina yang belum dewasa dan jantan.

ABSTRACT The present study is a preliminary research for producing mullet fry to aquaculture. The research aimed to evaluate stimulation of gonad maturation in mullet (Mugil dussumieri) using hormones. The method used for research was completely randomized design consisting of three treatments and each individual replication was repeated three times. Two experiments were conducted separately with different treatments. First experiment used 9-14.7 cm body length of fish treated with different hormone injections i.e. 4 mg/kg 17α-methyltestosterone (MT), 0.07 mg/kg estradiol-17β (E2), and 0.5 ml/kg 0.9% physiological solution as control. Second experiment used 10-31 cm body length fish treated with 750 IU/kg chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), 0.5 ml/kg Ovaprim, and 0.9% physiological solution as control. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) value of the first experiment on day 60 showed that GSI of E2 treatment (1.31±0.94%) was higher than both MT treatment (1.00±0.51%) and control (0.54±0.20%). On the other hand, the second experiment on day 60 showed that GSI of hCG treatment (7.18±0.59%) was higher than both Ovaprim treatment (3.29±2.66%) and control (6.72±0.32%). Egg diameter frequency distribution for control in the first experiment on day 30 showed that egg size ranged from 9−144 µm. Egg diameter for E2 and MT treatments on day 60 showed that egg size ranged from 9−243 µm and were higher than control. In the second experiment, egg diameter on day 30 for control showed that egg size ranged from 9-144 µm, hCG treatment showed egg size ranged from 9−441 µm, while Ovaprim egg size ranged from 9-111 µm. Blood glucose, blood cholesterol, testosterone and estradiol hormone level in the first and second experiment showed no significant difference. The results showed that estradiol-17β and 17α-methyltestosterone induction in 9-14.7 cm body length mullet increase gonad maturity to stage II while hCG induction in 10-31 cm body length mullet increase gonad maturity to stage III. Keywords : estradiol-17β, hCG, 17α-methyltestosterone, Mugil dussumieri, Ovaprim ABSTRAK Penelitian merupakan rintisan untuk menghasilkan benih ikan belanak dalam wadah budidaya.
