Perkembangan Awal Larva Ikan Mas (Cyprinus carpio L) dari Induk yang Diberi Pakan dengan Penambahan Kurkumin

Perkembangan awal larva sangat dipengaruhi oleh ketersediaan makanan yang berasal dari kantung telurnya. Tidak terpenuhi nutrisi pada masa awal perkembangan dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan larva. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur diameter telur hasil pemijahan dan panjang badan pada awal perkembangan larva ikan mas dari induk yang diberi pakan dengan penambahan kurkumin. Penelitian ini menggunakan induk betina ikan mas yang diberikan suplementasi kurkumin pada beberapa dosis yaitu 0%; 0,25%; 0,5%; 1%; dan 2%. Ikan yang telah matang gonad kemudian dipijahkan. Telur yang telah terbuahi kemudian diambil untuk ditetaskan dan diamati perkembangan larvanya selama 2 hari setelah penetasan (hsp). Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan suplementasi kurkumin dengan dosis 0,5% yang diberikan dalam pakan induk betina ikan mas memberikan nilai yang optimal terhadap diameter telur hasil pemijahan (p<0,05) dan panjang badan larva sampai pada umur 2 hsp (p<0,05), namun panjang mutlak larva sampai pada 2 hsp tidak menunjukkan adanya perbedaan antar perlakuan (p>0,5). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa suplementasi kurkumin dengan konsentrasi 0,5% pada induk betina ikan mas dapat mengoptimalkan pertumbuhan larva pada awal kehidupannya.Kata kunci : Cyprinus carpio, kurkumin, larva Early Development of Common Carp Larva from Broodstock Fed Diet Supplemented with CurcuminABSTRACTThe early growth of the larva is greatly influenced by the availability of food from the egg yolk. Insufficiency of nutrition in the early stages of development can affect the development of larva. The purpose of this study was to know the early growth of larva from broodstock supplemented with curcumin. This study used the female broodstock of common carp that supplemented with curcumin at several doses; 0%; 0,25%; 0,5%; 1%; and 2%. The fishes that had been mature were spawned, and the fertilized eggs were taken to be hatched. The larva was observed for 2 days after hatching (dah). The results showed that the treatment of curcumin supplementation with a dose of 0,5% given in the common carp feed gave an optimal value for egg diameter (p <0,05) and body length of the larva until the age of 2 dah (p <0,05), but did not differ for absolute length growth (p>0,05).Key words: Cyprinus carpio, curcumin, larva

Comparative morphology and ph of the alimentary tract in Archachatina marginata and Achatina achatina

A study was carried out to investigate the comparative morphology and pH of the gut in the Giant African Land Snails, in Archachatina marginata and Achatina achatina respectively. The crop is long, distended and less fleshy with reddish brown coloured juice (5.8 ml volume) in A. marginata, while it is short, compact and fleshy with greenish brown coloured juice (3.2 ml volume) in A. achatina. The digestive gland was heavier (17.36 vs. 15.74 g) in the latter than the former. The absolute weight of the crop in A. marginata was significantly (p<0.05) higher than in A. Achatina, however, the absolute and relative weights of the digestive gland in A. achatina was significantly (p<0.05) higher than in A. marginata. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in linear measurements of the salivary gland and crop for absolute values and the salivary gland, crop, stomach and digestive gland for relative values. Archachatina marginata had significantly (p<0.05) longer salivary gland and crop than Achatina achatina for absolute length values and significantly (p<0.05) longer salivary gland, crop and digestive gland for relative length values. However, the relative stomach length in A. achatina was significantly (p<0.05) longer than in A. marginata. The gut pH was more acidic in the crop (5.38 and 4.83) than in the mouth (6.93 and 6.82) where it tended towards neutrality in A. marginata and A. achatina respectively. The pH profiles in the two species, decreased by 1.65 and 1.99 from the mouth to the crop while it increased by 1.46 and 1.97 from the crop to the distal digestive gland in A. marginata and A. achatina respectively. In the herbivorous snails, the pH along the gut regions remained acidic all through (5.38 – 6.93 and 4.83 – 6.82) in A. marginata and A. achatina respectively, confirming the herbivorous habits in these snail species. The longer gut and distended crop with higher volume of crop juice in A. marginata, implies its ability to store, utilize and digest more food materials than A. achatina. These results provide the basis for a better understanding of the physiology of the digestive processes in these snails.
