The success of Eucheuma cottonii cultivation in the Gulf Kotania, West Seram, Maluku was influenced by various factors, one of them was the existence of filament algae. This study aims to identify filament algae patching on the thalus E. cottonii, the influence of filament algae biomass on specific growth rate (SGR) of E. cottonii in trial raft and the differences of filament algae biomass patching on the thalus E. cottonii cultivated by local people in three different locations. The first study was conducted in trial raft, then the identifications and measurements of filament algae biomass patching on the thalus and the measurements of E. cottonii biomass were performed on day 34 and 50. In the second study, the identifications and measurements of filament algae biomass patching on the thalus E. cottonii has been done on the three difference locations where E. cottonii has been cultivated by local people. The results showed that Lyngbia sp. was a species of filament algae found in thalus E. cottonii in which the algae patch on. The presence of filament algae on the thalus with biomass ratio 1:81, did not affect significantly on SGR of E. cottonii in trial raft. Meanwhile, filament algae biomass obtained from three different locations showed a significant difference, where the filament algae biomass in Wael Village was the highest.Keywords: Filament Alga, Lyngbia sp., Eucheuma cottonii, Gulf Kotania

Fish meal is generally expended as the foremost protein supply in the fish diet. The rising cost of this component inflicted the aquaculture industry to seek a substitute in lessening the pellet cost. Thus, fish waste was tested in this study to investigate its viability. An experiment was performed to study the effects of fish waste and carcass on the growth performance of Nile tilapia fry. Solid fish waste of three different common species available in Mukah’s wet market was formulated into an artificial diet. The diet was formulated into three treatments consist of three protein levels (40%, 45% and 50%) with 4000 kcal/kg energy. A controlled group was fed with a commercial pellet consisting of 45% protein level. Fish were fed at 4% of body weight twice daily for 45 days. Fry reared in a controlled group was discovered highest weight gain, specific growth rate and length gain. There was no significant difference in all treatments for all parameters measured. The lowest weight gain and specific growth rate were recorded in fish fed 45% protein level (T2) group. Fish in T3 (50%) achieved the highest survival rate while T1 (40%) group recorded the lowest. The best and lowest Feed Conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded in the control group. In conclusion, the performance of formulated feed using fish waste is similar to commercial pellet as no significant difference can be observed in all parameters measured.

Triploidy induction is a useful tool to produce sterile fish that prevents interbreeding of farmed fish with wild counterparts. In this study, growth performance and feed conversion rates of 12-months old diploid and triploid turbot that reared both communally and separately for 16 months at constant water temperature determined. At the end of the experiment, diploid, triploid, and communally reared groups reached an average weight of 672.4±21.0 g, 659.2±25.3 g and 660.5±12.0 g, respectively. Any significant differences were not observed in the weight of separately reared diploid and triploid turbot groups. In contrast, triploid fish in the communal group were significantly heavier than diploids at the end of the rearing period. The feed conversion rate of the ploidy group did not show any significant difference between groups. The highest mean specific growth rate was observed in the triploids in communal groups, whereas the diploids in communal groups had the lowest mean specific growth rate. The weight and length gain rates of the groups were similar. Diploid turbot growth appeared to be negatively affected by communal ploidy rearing. The results of the present study indicate that triploid turbot farm escapees may be advantageous in terms of growth in nature.

A study was conducted to determine the most optimal preservation technique for P. sajor-caju spawns which produce maximum specific growth rate and shortest doubling time by using contois kinetic model. The analyzed experimental data showed that lyophilized P. sajor-caju spawn showed the highest maximum specific growth rate, and shortest doubling time compared to cryopreserved P. sajor-caju spawn and 4oC stored P. spawn. There was no significant difference in aspect of growth rate between the lyophilization and cryopreservation techniques which were; 0.148 (μmax)/ (g/day) and 0.147(μmax)/ (g/day) respectively. Based on the result, lyophilization technique was considered as the best preservation technique for preserving P. sajor-caju spawn due to high maximum growth rate which indicates high survival after exposure to preservation treatment.

ABSTRACT Wastewater from the tanning industry of UPTD XX has entered the waters of Batang Anai River, West Sumatra. This wastewater quality exceeds the established quality standards and can be harmful to tilapia as a river biota. This study aimed to analyze the effect of sublethal tannery wastewater on food conversion ratio (FCR) and the specific growth rate (SGR) of tilapia. This study was conducted in three conditions: zero wastewater exposure (control), 1.85%, and 3.69% wastewater exposure. Each situation was set in triplo and observed for 28 days. We analyzed the correlation between duration exposure to the FCR and SGR by using regression and correlation analysis. Results showed an increase in the FCR value during observation in both wastewater exposure variations of 1.85% and 3.69%, with FCR values consecutively 1.19 and 1.75. At the same time, the control experiment showed a decreasing value of FCR. On the contrary, SGR values were decreased during observation in both wastewater exposure variations of 1.85% and 3.69%, consecutively 3.09% and 3.72%. While increasing SGR value was observed in the control experiment. A reliable correlation was obtained between the FCR and SGR ratio of tilapia to the exposure duration (r = 0.99). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed a significant difference between the FCR and SGR to the variation and period of direction. It can be concluded that the longer the exposure time and the higher the concentration of exposure, decreasing the food uptake of tilapia and reducing the specific growth rate. Keywords: tilapia, ratio growth rate, tannery wastewater, feed conversion, West Sumatra   ABSTRAK Limbah cair dari industri penyamakan UPTD XX, Sumatera Barat telah memasuki perairan Sungai Batang Anai, Sumatra Barat. Kualitas air limbah ini melebihi standar kualitas yang ditetapkan dan dapat berbahaya bagi nila sebagai salah satu biota sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh air limbah penyamakan kulit terhadap Rasio Konversi Pakan (Food Conversion Ratio/FCR) dan Laju Pertumbuhan Spesifik (Specific Growth Rate/SGR) pada ikan nila. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam tiga variasi, yakni tanpa paparan air limbah (uji kontrol), paparan air limbah 1,85% dan 3,69%. Setiap variasi dilakukan secara triplo dan diamati selama 28 hari. Korelasi antara lama paparan dengan rasio FCR serta SGR, dianalisis dengan menggunakan regresi dan analisis korelasi. Selanjutnya analisis multivariat menggunakan ANOVA two-way untuk melihat perbedaan signifikan FCR dan SGR terhadap variasi dan durasi paparan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan nilai FCR di kedua variasi paparan air limbah 1,85% dan 3,69% dengan nilai FCR berturut-turut 1,19 dan 1,75. FCR dalam uji kontrol menunjukkan penurunan nilai FCR. Sebaliknya, nilai SGR cenderung menurun selama pengamatan pada kedua variasi paparan air limbah 1,85% dan 3,69%, dengan nilai SGR berturut-turut 3,09% dan 3,72%, sementara peningkatan nilai SGR terjadi pada uji kontrol. korelasi yang sangat kuat diperoleh dari nilai FCR dan SGR terhadap durasi paparan (r = 0,99). Selanjutnya, uji signifikansi ANOVA menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara rasio FCR dan SGR dengan variasi dan durasi paparan air limbah. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin lama waktu paparan dan semakin tinggi konsentrasi paparan air limbah, mengurangi serapan pakan ikan nila dan mengurangi tingkat pertumbuhan.

In order to elucidate the effects of feeding, segregation and refuges on the growth of freshwater catfish, Wallago attu, post-hatch larvae were fed with live zooplankton alone (moina) or combination between moina and one of the following food: commercial pellets or minced trash fish or cow liver. For impacts of segregation and refuges on the growth of W. attu, these treatments were applied seperately or in combination between segregation and refuges. The results indicated that final total length – (TLe: 54.0 ± 2.16 mm), specific growth rate of length – (SGRL: 15.6 ± 0.52%), final body weight – (BWe: 273.3 ± 23.7 mg) and specific growth rate of weight – (SGRW: 32.9 ± 0.97%) of fish fed with cow liver in treatment were significantly higher than that of other treatments (p<0.05). Size variation of fish fed with cow liver (CVL: 4.0 ± 0.16% and CVw: 8.7 ± 0.81%) and minced trash fish (CVL: 4.6 ± 0.22% and CVW: 8.9 ± 0.78%) were less than moina treatment alone (CVL: 9.0 ± 0.8% and CVw: 24.2 ± 5.64%) and commercial pellets (CVL: 7.1 ± 0.51% and CVw: 12.0 ± 1.5%). Segregation and combination between segregation and refuges reduced the cannibalism among the larvae in comparition with the other treatments. The treatments without refuges and non-segregation showed the highest cannibalism ratio (29.8%). There was no significant difference in the mortality between treatments ranged from 23.8% to 27.3% (p>0.05).

In a quantitative field research, the objective of this work was to determine the best stocking density for tambatinga juveniles (Colossoma macropomum × Piaractus brachypomus) in a recirculation system during 50 days of cultivation. Tambatinga juveniles (0.72±0.02 g) were distributed in 0.08 m3 polyethylene boxes with densities of 5, 10 and 15 fish/box, with five replicates per treatment. During the experimental period, water quality, weight gain, apparent feed conversion, specific growth rate, carcass yield, proximate composition and final survival were evaluated. The water parameters remained stable and in the desired range for the species during the experimental period (temperature 25±1.52° C, pH 5.85±0.7 and dissolved oxygen 6.51±0.05 mg L-1). Statistical analyzes showed no significant difference for apparent feed conversion and survival rate. The lowest stocking density (5 fish/box) showed greater weight gain and specific growth rate, while the density of 10 fish/box showed high lipid deposition in the carcass. Aiming at greater weight gain and better specific growth rate, the results indicated that the density of 5 fish/box (0.08 m3), is the most suitable for juveniles of this species.

Food demand is expected to surge due to the increase of world population. Malaysia is one of the top fish consumption countries in Asia, but the reduction of capture fishery has led to the increase for aquaculture for tilapia to overcome the demand. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the growth performance of red tilapia at different stocking densities of zeolite supplemented closed system. Red tilapia fry was stocked into aquarium. Five treatments (containing zeolite and without zeolite) with two replicates were used. Food was given twice a day with 2% of total biomass of the fish. Weight and length of red tilapia were measured every two weeks. The zeolite treatments which recorded the highest final mean weight was T1 with the lowest stocking density (5 fish) while in T5 (highest stocking density), lowest mean weight was recorded. Specific growth rate and length gain in T1 was significantly higher than other treatments. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in growth parameters between the treatments with and without zeolite. The results revealed that red tilapia stocked in the T1 of the lowest stocking density (5 fish) had the highest growth performance than the fish in other treatments. Compared to other treatments, T1 recorded the highest final length and weight, weight and length gain, Specific Growth Rate % (SGR) among the treatments. The findings will be useful for the practitioners to understand the best practice for stocking density in zeolite supplemented closed system.

An experiment was designed and carried out to assess the survival, growth performance and feed utilization (weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, feed intake and survival) of Heterobranchus bidorsalis fingerlings fed graded levels of toasted Lima beans seed (Phaseolus lunatus) meal based diets with the aim of establishing the best inclusion level of Lima beans seed meal. One hundred (100) fingerlings with an initial mean weight of 2.5± 0.5g were allotted at random to five treatments in triplicate groups with each treatment tank having five fingerlings and were fed with the compounded diets. The toasted Lima beans seed meal was used to replace soybean meal in the diets in the following proportions: Diet I (0%), diet II (25%), diet III (50%), diet IV (75%) and diet V (100%). At the end of the feeding trials that lasted for 70 days, At the end of the experiment, the Specific growth rate showed no significant difference (P >0.05) among all treatments. Treatment III (3.250) had the highest specific growth rate and Treatment II (2.083) had the lowest value. Relative weight gain was highest in treatment V (20.53) with 100% lima beans and lowest in treatment II (16.95) with 25% lima beans diet inclusion level. Treatment I and IV had no significant difference (P >0.05) but these treatments had a significant difference (P<0.05) with treatments II, III and V also treatment II, III, and V are significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. There was no significant different (p>0.05) in the feed conversion ratio of treatment II, III, IV. There was also no significant difference (p> 0.05) in the feed conversion ratio of treatment I and V. Treatment II, III and IV showed a significant difference (P< 0.05) in the feed conversion ratio with treatment I and V. FCR was highest in treatment II (1.383) and lowest in treatment IV (1.162). Treatment V had the highest feed intake with value 3.775. Treatment I, II, III, IV and V had no significant difference (P> 0.05). Treatment I had the lowest feed intake with value (3.246). Protein efficiency ratio showed no significant differences among all treatment. PER was highest in treatment V (6.346) and lowest in treatment III (5.346). The survival rate was slightly different but not as a result of the feed consumed. Based on the findings in this study, it is therefore recommended that 75% inclusion level of Lima beans meal should be adopted in the formulation of feed for Heterobranchus bidorsalis.
