Abstract

Freshwater lobsters have been developed as a commodity for consumption since 2003. The need for this commodity is increasing but production is still very low, so the price of freshwater lobsters is quite high and expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out reproduction to carry out the seeding process for Freshwater Lobsters (LAT) using an injection technique in the form of the Ovaprim Hormone to accelerate the maturity of the LAT gonads. This study aims to examine the administration of different doses of the ovaprim hormone on the maturation of freshwater lobster broodstock. The research was conducted for 60 days. The method used was a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments in this study were P0 (control), P1 (0,3 ml), P2 (0,5 ml) and P3 (0,7 ml). The parameters observed in this study were Gonad Maturity Index (IKG), Egg Diameter and Pleopode Fecundity. The results of the observations showed that giving different doses of ovaprim to the maturation of freshwater crayfish was not significantly different (P<0.05) to the Gonad Maturity Index IKG), Egg Diameter and Pleopode Fecundity but was significantly different to the P0 (control) treatment. The best treatment in this study was treatment P3 (0.5 ,l) because it had the highest performance between the other treatments.Keywords: egg diameter; fecundity; freshwater lobster; maturation; ovaprim

Abstract

This research is scheduled to take place from May to August 2022 at the Marine and Brackish Water Aquaculture Fisheries Center in West Sumatra. The method employed will be observation, which entails monitoring the eating behavior of lobsters and their feeding schedule every time food is provided within a 24-hour timeframe. Data pertaining to lobster eating behavior will be analyzed descriptively based on these observations. Throughout the research, various feeding activities of sand lobsters were documented. The observational results indicated that the lobster feeding process remained consistent. The lobster typically initiates the process by gripping the food with its claws and feet, subsequently breaking it into smaller pieces with its claws, and then placing these fragments into its mouth. As the lobster tears apart the food, the next step involves transferring it to the mouth using the nearest upper and lower jaws. In light of this research, it can be inferred that lobster feeding behavior encompasses the following steps: firstly, the lobster approaches the food after spotting it; secondly, lobsters employ their claws to grasp the food; and finally, lobsters tear and ingest the food. Lobster feeding activities are most commonly observed between 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM and 10:00 PM - 2:00 AM.Keywords: eating behavior; lobster; Lobster feeding schedule.

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess fishermen's perspectives on the massive fish kill incident in coastal waters in Rivers State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected using questionnaires from 101 randomly selected fishermen and the data were evaluated using descriptive statistics. The results showed that fishing was the main occupation of the respondents and the interviewed fishermen have fishing experience in the region studied and knowledge of their fishery. The results showed that 53.3 percent of fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to pollution, while 19.8 percent cited infection and disease as the cause of the fish kills. The majority of respondents (94%) reported that croaker fish species were particularly affected in the study area. Other observations include fish swimming on the surface or jumping onto shore and affected fish washing up on shore. The unusual appearances of the dead fish commonly reported by respondents were as follows: fin rot, open mouth, disease spots and deep blue gills. About half of the respondents (50.5%) gave a range of 1,000 - 5000 dead fish and a size class of the dead fish of more than 30 cm. Most respondents (79.2%) indicated that the government has not taken any action. Few of those surveyed reported government action on sea clean-up exercises to remove dead fish and end oil spillage and bunkering as measures put in place by the government. The study recommended partnerships between the government and fishermen and fishermen's groups as stakeholders are required to address the concerns about marine waters.Keyword: Coastal waters; Fishers; Mass fish mortality; Nigeria

Abstract

The increasing number of tourist visits and activities of coastal communities affects the distribution of marine waste on the Pangandaran coast, resulting in waste generation that pollutes the coastal environment. This is due to a lack of awareness in disposing of waste in its proper place, a lack of cleaning facilities and a waste transport fleet by the Pangandaran district government. The aim of this research is to provide an evaluation regarding the distribution of marine waste and its management on Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari. Using Survey Method and Driving Force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response data analysis. The research location was carried out in three locations, namely on the Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari. The results of this research are that the distribution of marine debris on Pantai Timur, Pantai Barat and Pantai Madasari is categorized as moderate. This causes pressure on coastal areas where there is waste generation at several research stations. The most common type of waste is plastic waste with a percentage of 45-54% on Pantai Timur, 36-55% on Pantai Barat and 43-51% on Pantai Madasari. The type of waste that is least found is rubber with a percentage of 2-3%. The actions taken by Pangandaran Village and the Pangandaran Regency Environment and Hygiene Service (DLHK) are waste management using a collect-transport-dispose system, community service to clean the beach with the community on Fridays, and the availability of several rubbish bins at every distance of 10 meters. Waste management on Pantai Madasari is managed by the village government, where this authority is handed over to Village-Owned Enterprises using a collect-transport-dispose system and burned directly at the temporary disposal site (TPS).Keywords: Coastal; DPSIR; plastic; pollution; waste distribution
