This study aims to analyze the species diversity, distribution and status of fish found in the coastal waters of Banten Bay. Samplings were carried out 7 times at three locations namely Cengkok coastal waters (on February-March 2019), Bojonegara coastal waters (January-February, August-September 2020), and Kemayungan-Linduk coastal waters (February-April 2021) of the Banten Bay, using gill nets, trammel net, cast net, hand-line, beach seine, and mini trawl. Results of this study showed that the fish caught in the Banten Bay coastal waters consisted of 111 species, distributed at the three areas, namely Cengkok (32 species), Bojonegara (58 species), and Kemayungan-Linduk coastal waters (51 species). The diversity, eveness, and dominance indices were 2.185 - 3.763, 0.630 - 0.781, and 0.072 - 0.233 respectively, indicating the medium-high species diversity. These fish were spreading in marine water, fresh water, estuary, freshwater and estuary, marine and estuary, and marine, estuary and freshwater. The common species found at the study location were Ellochelon vaigiensis, Planiliza subviridis, and Leiognathus equula. In general, most of the fish found in Banten Bay were classified as least concern (LC), while two species were vulnerable (VU), one species was near threatened (NT), and ones species was endangered species (EN).

Buyan and Tamblingan lakes were often mentioned as twin lake because of its adjacent location. These two lakes were separated by approximately one-kilometer forest. Studies which recorded the fish species in those lakes were very limited so that a study was needed regarding that conditions as the initial step of management. This study aims to reveal and analyze the ratio of native and alien fish species which were found in Buyan and Tamblingan lakes, Bali. The fish sampling was held three times in different months at Buyan and Tamblingan lakes during 2017-2018, using a purposive sampling method. There were six locations sampling fish on each lake. It used experimental gill net with mesh size 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 3.5; 4.0 inches and trap. Three of the nine species that found in Buyan and Tamblingan lakes were native fish species. The ratio of native and non-indigenous fish caught in Buyan lake was bigger than from Tamblingan lake. Based on the length size of the most captured fish, the native fish of Osteochilus vittatus in Buyan lake was longer than Tamblingan, while the non-indigenous one, Poecillia reticulata had the same length size on the two lakes.

Ikan ekor pedang bukan merupakan ikan asli Indonesia. Ikan ini berasal dari Amerika Tengah dan dilaporkan menyebabkan kerugian di beberapa perairan yang dihuninya. Ikan ekor pedang merupakan ikan kedua yang paling banyak tertangkap di Danau Buyan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap karakter morfometrik dan meristik, hubungan panjang bobot dan hubungan panjang total-panjang baku pada dua varian ikan ekor pedang di Danau Buyan yang memiliki warna tubuh yang berbeda. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Januari sampai April 2018. Ikan yang diamati berjumlah 160 ekor. Pengamatan meliputi pengukuran 12 karakter morfometrik tradisional, 14 karakter truss morphometric, penghitungan empat karakter meristik, dan penimbangan bobot. Panjang total ikan ekor pedang jantan dan betina pada varian I adalah 43,94 - 79,47 mm dan 43,81 - 115,80 mm dengan nilai b= 2,90 dan b= 2,98. Kemudian, panjang total ikan ekor pedang pada varian II adalah 45,76 - 83,91 mm untuk ikan jantan dan 41,43 - 88,49 mm untuk ikan betina dengan nilai b= 2,80 dan b= 3,07. Karakter meristik pada kedua varian ikan ekor pedang baik jantan dan betina adalah D. 12-13 ; A. 8 - 9. Hubungan panjang bobot ikan ekor pedang pada kedua varian menunjukan pertumbuhan isometrik. Berdasarkan pengamatan dalam penelitian ini, diketahui tidak terdapat perbedaan pada dua varian ikan ekor pedang di Danau Buyan.Green swordtail is not originally from Indonesia, but from Central America. This fish was reported harmful in some freshwater ecosystem. Green swordtail was the second most caught fish in Buyan Lake. The aims of this research were to reveal morphometric and meristic characters, length-weight relationship and total length-standard length relationship on two variants of green swordtail with the different color in Buyan Lake. This research was conducted from January to April 2018 in Buyan Lake. The number of measured and weighed fish were 160 individuals. There were 12 traditional morphometric characters, 14 truss morphometric characters, and four meristic characters observed. Respectively, the total length for green swordtail variant I male and female were 43.94 - 79.47 mm and 43.81 - 115.80 mm. The b value for both of the variant I were 2.90 and 2.98. For the variant II, the total length was 45.76 - 83.91 mm for male fish and 41.43 - 88.49 for female. The b value for variant II were 2.80 and 3.07 for male and female respectively. Meristic characters for all variant and sex was D 12 - 13; A 8 - 9. The growth pattern was isometric. There is no difference in the body shape between the variant of green swordtail fish.

Enam dari tujuh spesies penyu laut ditemukan di Indonesia dan tiga diantaranya melakukan proses peneluran di beberapa pantai di Bali, salah satunya adalah Penyu Lekang (Lepidochelys olivacea) yang masuk kedalam kategori terancam punah oleh IUCN. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh perbedaan karaktertistik pasir pantai terhadap persentase penetasan telur Penyu Lekang pada media sarang semi alami. Keberhasilan penetasan pada sampel telur dilihat melalui variabel suhu pasir, suhu udara, kelembaban pasir, kelembaban udara, besar ukuran pasir, dan warna pasir. Persentase tertinggi dari keberhasilan penetasan sampel telur terjadi pada media penetasan pasir Pantai Pulau Serangan sebesar 97% dengan masa inkubasi 49 hari dan rentang suhu pasir berkisar antara 27,50o C, sampai 30,40o C. Sedangkan media pasir Pantai Saba dan Pantai Perancak memiliki persentase keberhasilan penetasan 87% dan 67% dengan masa inkubasi 46 hari. Perbedaan masa inkubasi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh variabel suhu pasir. Sementara perbedaan persentase keberhasilan penetasan dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan karakteristik pasir pada media penetasan. Dengan meningkatkan persentase keberhasilan penetasan yang tinggi, maka akan diperoleh tukik hidup yang lebih banyak untuk pemulihan populasi penyu dalam upaya untuk mendukung kegiatan konservasi penyu.

Eco-biological information of green swordtail in Tamblingan Lake is unknown. This research aimed to reveal sex ratio, gonadosomatic index, viviparity, spawning time and location of green swordtail in Tamblingan Lake. Fish was collected by gill nets with a mesh size of 0.5 and 1.0 cm in five sampling stations  from January to June 2019. Total length and body weight of all fish samples were measured then dissected to observe the level of gonad maturity and viviparity in female fish. A total of 373 green swordtail with total length ranged and body weight ranged from 30.4-69.2 mm and 0.7935 – 7.6612 g, respectively. The results showed that males outnumberd of females in all sampling periods. Gonadosomatic index of male and female ranged from 0.159-1.239 and 0.204-13.592, respectively. The mature individuals were captured in all sampling stations and observation times. This species has a good reproductive potential with viviparity ranges between 6-54 juveniles.

Turtles are one of the reptile animals that can migrate long distances along the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia. The purpose of turtle migration is to mate, find spawning locations and to find food. Sea turtles have an important role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem. However, the high utilization of sea turtles by humans causes the turtle population to decline. One of the conservation sites that help the government program is in Serangan, Denpasar Bali, namely the TCEC (Turtle Conservation and Education Center), where there are several types of turtles such as the lekang turtle, hawksbill and green turtle. Data collection techniques in this study used observation methods including beach monitoring, relocation of turtle eggs to semi-natural hatchery hatching, hatchling and turtle nesting as well as measurement of turtle length and width carapase curve (CCL/CCW), sand temperature, nest depth, nest diameter, nest distance and nest calculation of the number of eggs to see the success of hatching. The results are turtle conservation activities, ranging from turtle maintenance, hatching of turtle eggs, relocation of eggs, and maintenance of hatchlings to release turtles. The effectiveness given by TCEC to manage and preserve the existence of sea turtles in Indonesia, especially in the Bali region is to provide awareness to the community by not consuming eggs and turtle meat.

The biological aspects of the spotted barb, Barbodes binotatus (Valenciennes, 1842) in Tamblingan Lake were not published yet. This study aims to determine the biological aspects of spotted barb in Tamblingan Lake. Fish samples were captured using gill nets with various mesh sizes at five fixed stations monthly from January to December 2019. A total of 357 individuals of the spotted barb was collected, with the total length of the specimens ranging from 3.9 to 15.6 cm, and total weight varied between 0.93 and 60.30 g. The length-weight relationship for males and females were expressed as W = 0.0375L2.83 and W = 0.0272L3.02, respectively. The growth pattern for males and females was allometric negative and isometric, subsequently. The male-female sex ratio was 1.10:1, and the condition factor for males and females were 0.75-1.42 and 0.40-1.49, respectively. We observed male fish with gonad maturity stage I to IV. In contrast, female fish have gonad maturity stage II to V. The highest gonadosomatic index of male and female fish was found in September, indicating a peak of the spawning time. Fecundity ranged from 57-23897 eggs, with an average of 5901 eggs.
