In this study, fish feed supplemented by probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic were applied to enhance the immune response and survival rate of the fish against Streptococcus agalactiae infection. Treatments used in this study, were as follows: feed containing 1% (v/v) of probiotic (C), feed containing 2% (v/v) of prebiotic (D) and feed containing mixed of 1% (v/v) of probiotic + 2% (v/v) of prebiotic (E, defined as synbiotic). Control fish (both positive, A; and negative, B; treatments) were fed by fish feed without containing neither probiotic nor prebiotic. In this study, test fish used monosex (all male) red tilapia with the average of body weight of 13,43±2,97 gram. The fish were fed by supplemented feed within first 30 days pre injection. After that, the treated fish were challenged by 109 CFU/ml of S. agalactiae. Nile tilapia fed by synbiotic (treatment E) had higher immune response (haemoglobin, neutrofil, and phagocyte indices) than control, but were not significantly different than those of treatment C, and D. After challenged test by S. agalactiae, treatment C, D and E resulted significantly higher resistance than that of control. The survival rate of fish fed by supplemented feed containing probiotic (C), prebiotic (D) and synbiotic (E) were 76%, 76% and 80%, respectively; higher than than positive control (50%). The results showed that addition of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic in fish feed could increase immune response and survival rate against S. agalactiae.Keywords : tilapia, probiotic, prebiotic, synbiotic, Streptococcus agalactiae

One of the negative impacts arising from the existence of palm oil mill industries is the increase of pollution from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), particularly for the aquatic environment. This study was conducted to investigate the reproductive impairment of male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus 1758) after exposed to POME. An experiment of a chronic test was carried out using a completely randomized design consisting four treatments with five replication: control (0 mg/L POME), treatment A (1.565 mg/L POME), treatment B (2.347 mg/L POME), and treatment C (3.130 mg/L POME). The exposure of POME was performed for 45 days. Reproductive hormone concentration, gonadosomatic index and spermatocrite value in each treatment statistically analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that the POME exposure had no significant impact on estradiol and testosterone concentrations (p>0.05), but, it triggered a decline in the progesterone concentration (p<0.05). Progesterone concentration decreased significantly from 0.57 ± 0.24 ng/mL in control to 0.28 ± 0.04 ng/mL in treatment C. The hormonal decline resulted in a significant decrease in gonadosomatic index and spermatocrite of male Nile Tilapi (p<0.05). In conclusion, exposure to POME induced reproductive impairment in male Nile Tilapia.

Background and Aim: Industrial waste, such as heavy metals, is a major source of water pollution; at high levels, such pollution can reduce river water quality to the extent that it becomes unsuitable for aquaculture of freshwater fish. This study aimed to focus on the effects of copper (Cu) exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and specifically the ability of Lactobacillus-based probiotics supplementation in fish feed to ameliorate damage to gonads and negative effects on red blood cells (RBCs), whole blood cells (WBCs), hematocrit (HCT) levels, hemoglobin (HGB) levels, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels following such exposure. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two Nile tilapia fish were divided into eight groups: A negative control (without probiotics or Cu), a positive control (with probiotics but without Cu), three treatments with probiotics in feed, and one of three Cu concentrations (0.75, 1.50, or 3.00 mg/L), and three treatments with these three Cu concentrations but without probiotics in feed. The probiotics concentration in feed was 25 mL/kg (1×108 CFU/mL). Feeding was for 15 days, after which the hematological parameters, gonadal (testis) structure, and MDA levels of fish were analyzed. Results: Exposure to Cu significantly (p<0.05) affected fish hematology (decreased HGB, HCT, RBC, and WBC levels) and altered the structure of the testes. However, the addition of probiotics to fish feed significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated these effects on hematology and maintained the histological structure of the gonads. Conclusion: Cu exposure at ≥1.5 mg/L affected the hematologic parameters, gonadosomatic index, MDA levels, and testicular cells and tissue of Nile tilapia. However, probiotics supplementation in fish feed helped ameliorate the negative effects of Cu on these parameters. Thus, the Lactobacillus-based probiotics used in this study were apparently able to neutralize Cu toxicity in Nile tilapia.

The objectives of research were to evaluate the effect bakasang-supplemented commercial diet on nile tilapia growth and to find the optimum dosage of bakasang to be supplemented in feed. The research was conducted at Laboratory of Nutrition and Fish Feed Technology.  Fish weighing 0,9-1,7 g were palced in 15 aquaria at a density of 10 individuals/aquarium. Experimental design was complete randomized design with five treatments namely A (0% bakasang), B (2% bakasang), C (3% bakasang), D (4% bakasang), E (5% bakasang), each with three replications. Fish were fed three times a day as much as 5%/body weight. Growth of fish was observed every week. Research results showed that the lowest absolute growth, relative growth and feed efficiency  were observed in treated with 0% bakasang (êG=20.44 g; GR=148.08%; dan NEP=58.06%) while the highest was obtained in fish treated with 4% bakasang (êG=35,55 g; GR=262.17%; NEP=80.53%).  Analysis of variance displayed the use of bakasang significantly affect absolute growth, relative growth. It was concluded that feed supplemented with 4% bakasang gave better absolute growth, relative growth and feed efficiency as compared to other feed.   Keywords: growth, “bakasang”, absolute growth, relative growth, feed efficiency,  nile tilapia
