Ascidians Outbreak: A Threat For Coral Reefs in Panjang Island, Jepara

Eutrophication and sedimentation have become a major threat to coral reefs in nearby areas with anthropogenic activities. These threats are often accompanied by shifting ecosystems from coral-rich to fast-growing algae-dominated water, and high prevalence of coral disease. In Panjang Island, Jepara, we observed the outbreak of photosynthetic ascidians along with a high sedimentation at the eastern part of the island. The ascidians were seen overgrowing most substrates including corals, macroalgae, dead-coral-algae, and rubbles in April to May 2019. In July and August 2019, observation and data collection using quadrant transect were conducted to monitor the outbreak. The result showed that ascidians were still present in the area, despite becoming pale and smaller. This report shows that the outbreak of these photosynthetic ascidians was not persistent, however, the effect on coral reef health should not be overlooked.

Antioxidant activity of Alginate Oligosaccharides (AOS) from Sargassum sp. for Improving the Cutaneous Wound Enclosure in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Sargassum sp. classified as brown seaweed which is known as an alginophyte (alginate producer). Alginate has undergone a depolymerization process called alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) and has been shown to have antioxidant activities to increase wound tissue recovery. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) and their ability to improve the cutaneous wound enclosure in Zebrafish (Danio rerio). The IC50 value was used to calculate the ability of extract to inhibit free radicals using DPPH (516 nm). Zebrafish were immersed 12 hours before the injury and shortly after injury with a two factorial design, i.e., alginate concentration and immersion time. Zebrafish were immersed for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours with serial concentration of 200 ppm, 400 ppm, and 600 ppm, respectively. Morphological observations were carried out at the the first day, fourth day, tenth day, and twenty-first-day post wounding. The results of this study showed that alginate from Sargassum sp. has a yield of 40.5 ± 1.125% with a purity level of 89.95%. Based on antioxidant activity, alginate is categorized as moderate (178,377 ppm) and evidently has the ability to increase wound recovery compared to control. It has indicated by the formation of the wound enclosure.

Modeling on 137Cs Radioactive Dispersion in Gosong Coast as The Candidate Location for Nuclear Power Plant

The study of radioactive dispersion in the ocean should be conducted to prepare the construction of nuclear power plant (NPP) in Gosong Coast, West Kalimantan. This study estimated the distribution of 137Cs radioactive from various scenarios of radioactive waste dumping if nuclear emergency is occurred during NPP’s operation. These scenarios were distinguished based on their volume discharges of radioactive waste into the ocean, included 10 m3 (Scenario I), 50 m3 (Scenario II), and 100 m3 (Scenario III). Model dispersions were constructed for 15 days by Delft3D-Flow module. The simulation showed that ocean current directions were not significantly different among spring and neap tide, instead the ocean current during the spring period dominantly increased rather than neap period. Ocean currents at Gosong Coast flowed parallel to the shoreline towards Singkawang Coastal Area during ebb tide. Meanwhile, during flood tide, ocean currents at Gosong Coast flowed offshore through Burung Archipelagic. The dispersed model showed the distribution of 137Cs radioactive for 15 days reaching to coastal areas of Burung Archipelagic, Singkawang, and Southern Sambas Coast. Each scenario of the disposal system did not influence the marine pollution of the West Kalimantan Sea.

Penambahan Asam Amino Triptofan Dalam Pakan Terhadap Tingkat Kanibalisme Dan Pertumbuhan Litopenaeus vannamei

Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the leading fishery products of the fisheries sector. The problem that is often found in the failure of vannamei shrimp productions is the high level of mortality due to the nature of cannibalism during molting. One solution to minimize the cannibalism of vannamei shrimp is to provide tryptophan supplements in a feed. Tryptophan is a type of essential amino acid that serves as a precursor for serotonin biosynthesis. This study aims to determine the effect and optimal dose of tryptophan added to feed to reduce cannibalism and growth of vannamei shrimp. The test fish used in this study were vannamei shrimp with an average weight of 0,81 ± 0,26 g/individual. This study used an experimental method, a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and three replications. The test feed used in this study was artificial feed with a protein content of 38% plus tryptophan according to treatments A (0%/kg feed), B (0.75%/kg feed), C (1.5%/kg feed), and D (2.25%/kg feed). The results showed that the addition of Tryptophan in the feed had a noticeable effect (P<0,05) on cannibalism levels, survival, and molting rates but had no significant effect (P>0,05) on absolute weight growth, specific growth rates, efficiency ratios protein and efficiency feed utilization of vannamei shrimp. The best dose of tryptophan addition in feed to lower the rate of vannamei shrimp cannibalism in this study was 2,25%, capable of producing a cannibalism rate of 13,33%. Udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei) merupakan salah satu produk perikanan unggulan sektor perikanan. Permasalahan yang sering ditemukan dalam kegagalan produksi udang vaname adalah tingginya tingkat mortalitas karena adanya sifat kanibalisme pada saat terjadi molting. Solusi untuk meminimalisir kanibalisme udang vaname adalah dengan memberi suplemasi asam amino pada pakan, salah satunya adalah triptofan. Triptofan merupakan salah satu jenis asam amino esensial yang berfungsi sebagai prekursor untuk biosintesis serotonin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh dan dosis optimal triptofan yang ditambahkan ke dalam pakan untuk menurunkan tingkat kanibalisme dan pertumbuhan udang vaname. Ikan uji yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah udang vaname dengan bobot rata-rata 0,81±0,26 g/ekor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen, rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri atas 4 perlakuan dan 3 kali ulangan. Pakan uji yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pakan buatan dengan kandungan protein 38% ditambah triptofan sesuai perlakuan yaitu : A (0%/kg pakan), B (0,75%/kg pakan, C (1,5%/kg pakan), dan D (2,25%/kg pakan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan triptofan dalam pakan berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap tingkat kanibalisme, kelulushidupan dan tingkat molting, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap pertumbuhan bobot mutlak, laju pertumbuhan spesifik, protein efisiensi rasio dan efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan. Dosis terbaik dari pemberian triptofan dalam pakan untuk menurunkan tingkat kanibalisme udang vaname dalam penelitian ini adalah 2,25%, mampu menghasilkan tingkat kanibalisme sebesar 13,33%.
