Evaluation of feed types based on growth performance, survival, hematology, and resistance in celebes rainbow (Marosantherina ladigesi)

Amrullah, Wahidah, Khusnul Khatimah, Ardiansyah, Eka Rosyida, Imam Taufik

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(10):583-592.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e50

Celebes rainbow (Marosantherina ladigesi) is one of Indonesia’s exported ornamental fish commodities, but the exploitation of this fish only relies on wild catches. The rise of unlimited fishing, especially those using poison, has changed the aquatic environment, threatening sustainability and causing fish extinction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of several types of feed in improving the absolute growth rate (AGR), specific growth rate (SGR), survival rate (SR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency (FE), hemat...

Bacterial community comparison revealed by metagenomic analysis and physicochemical properties of eastern little tuna (Euthynnus affinis) with storage temperature differences

Asadatun Abdullah, Rahadian Pratama, Tati Nurhayati, Windy Sibuea, Sabila Diana Ahmad Sauqi

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(10):593-604.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e51

Post-harvest handling and hygienic level of aquatic products significantly affect the quality and level of safety. Cold chain control is one of the determining factors for the quality of fish and the bacterial community that grows on the fish. Identification of spoilage bacteria and pathogens in aquatic products must be made because it will determine the physical and chemical quality. A molecular identification method with high sensitivity is the solution. This study aims to identify the quality of fish and bacterial communities that grow. The ...

Development of a trivalent vaccine for prevention of co-infection by Miamiensis avidus and Tenacibaculum maritimum in farmed olive flounder

Hanchang Sohn, Hyukjae Kwon, Seongdo Lee, Qiang Wan, Jehee Lee

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(10):605-616.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e52

Scuticociliatosis, caused by the parasitic pathogen Miamiensis avidus, poses a significant threat to olive flounder farms in South Korea. Infected fish suffer from severe systemic infections affecting various organs, with potential secondary bacterial diseases. This study investigated the emergence of different M. avidus serotypes in 20 olive flounder farms on Jeju island, South Korea, from 2015 to 2020. Additionally, we identified Tenacibaculum maritimum as a co-infecting bacteria. Based on serotyping and monitoring data, ...

Introduction of hook size as a tool for management measures of harvest control rules to improve grouper stock in Indonesia

Irfan Yulianto, Heidi Retnoningtyas, Dwi Putra Yuwandana, Intan Destianis Hartati, Siska Agustina, Mohamad Natsir, Mochammad Riyanto, Toni Ruchimat, Soraya Gigentika, Rian Prasetia, Budy Wiryawan

https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e53

Harvest control rules have been recently developed for some fisheries in Indonesia, including grouper fisheries, and are expected to reverse the trend of declining stocks. One of the proposed options of the harvest control rules is to implement the catch size limit. The catch size limit approach, however, is challenging, unless it is supported also with strong fisheries surveillance, law enforcement, and innovation. The catch size limit approach can be done by implementing changes in fishing methods and gear, including the application of differ...

The diet of three commercial fishes based on stomach contents in the Yellow Sea

Heeyong Kim, Wongyu Park, Jung Hwa Choi

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(10):628-636.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e54

Stomach contents of three commercially important species, anchovy (Engraulis japonica), small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) and yellow goosefish (Lophius litulon) were analyzed to investigate difference of prey between Spring and Fall. Trawl surveys for target fishes were conducted at 12 stations by the RV Tamgu-8 in the Yellow Sea-Korean side in Spring and Fall 2008 as a part of the United Nations Development Programme/Global Environment Facility (UNDP/GEF), Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) survey...
