Indonesia has high biodiversity, one of them is the diversity of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man, 1879). The giant freshwater prawn was easy to reproduce and has high nutritional value. This study was conducted to determine the morphological variation of inbreed and outbreed of Probolinggo and Mahakam (Mama, Gogo, Goma, and Mago) populations that was developed in Unit Kerja Budidaya Air Payau Balai Budidaya Udang Galah (UKBAP BBUG) Samas as a basic for seed selection. Research of morphological variation carried out by observing 12 morphological characters, four meristic characters and 52 morphometric characters in four populations. Analysis of basic morphometric characters using a statistical program to determine the linear regression and the significance of parameters. Analysis of morphological characters using a statistical program to make dendrogram showing the similarity of four populations. The result of morphometry shows that the ratio of cephalothorax and abdomen of Mago and Goma is lower than Mama and Gogo. When viewed from the ratio of the carapace and rostrum length, Mago produces the longest rostrum. So, when only carapace length is compared to abdomen length, Mago showed the greatest value.Gogo has the highest ratio of cephalothorax and abdomen, while Mago has the highest ratio of carapace and abdomen among populations. Morphological data analysis showed that Gogo and Goma had reached 76% similarity, Goma and Mama have a similarity of 68% while Mago has 52% similarity with another three populations.
Yogyakarta is the second-largest producer of plastic waste in Indonesia. Plastic waste in the waters can be degraded into microplastics that can enter the body of a fish. This study aimed to determine the presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of several species of fish in Pantai Baron, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This research was an exploratory research conducted in April-September 2019 at Pantai Baron, Yogyakarta. Two species of each pelagic and demersal fish samples were taken by buying fish caught by fishermen. The digestive tract of fish was extracted with 10% KOH, filtered, then visual identification. Microplastic types were estimated by FT-IR spectrometry. The amount of microplastic of all fishes was done by Kruskal-Wallis test while the number of microplastics of the two categories of fish was compared with the Mann-Whitney test. A correlation analysis was carried out between the length of the fish, the weight of the digestive tract, and the number of microplastics found. Microplastic shape, color, size, and type data were analyzed descriptively. A total of 78 of the 80 (97.50%) fish from four species studied contained microplastics with a total number as many as 3,651 (mean 45.60 ± 44.31 microplastic/individual). About 100% of pelagic fish samples contained microplastics, while only 95% of demersal fish samples contained microplastics. Mann-Whitney test results showed the number of microplastic/ individual was significantly different between pelagic and demersal fish (p <0.05). The most dominant shape of microplastic was fiber (53.14%), film (36.97%) and fragments (9.89%). The type of polymers detected was polyamide. The results showed that pelagic fish swallowed more microplastics than demersal fish did because of the microplastic nature that is lightweight and floats. Microplastic characteristic data can be used to estimate the main source of microplastic pollution in Pantai Baron so it can be managed appropriately.
Giant freshwater prawn is a native Indonesian freshwater prawn, which has the largest body size among other freshwater prawn. Efforts to increase the production of giant prawns can be done by genetic improvement of the parent. The main basis for conventional genetic improvement of giant freshwater prawns is availability of morphological variation information. This study is to determine the morphological variations of the giant prawn broodstock of Siratu, GIMacro, Mahakam, and Bengawan Solo populations which are cultured in Unit Kerja Budidaya Air Payau Balai Budidaya Udang Galah (UKBAP BBUG) Samas. Through this research it is expected to determine the broodstock with a profitable character that is able to produce hybrids with profitable characters as well. Baseline morphometrics were observed from the ratio of cephalothorax: abdomen length, ratio of carapace: rostrum length and ratio of carapace: abdomen length. Morphological variations were observed using 58 characters which included morphometric, meristic and morphological characters. The results showed the largest ratio of cephalothorax and abdomen average length owned by Bengawan Solo population, while the largest ratio of carapace and abdominal average length owned by Mahakam. The highest morphological variation is owned by Mahakam with 52% similarity. The lowest morphological variation is owned by GIMacro and Siratu populations with 80% similarity. The giant prawn broodstock which is expected to produce hybrid with profitable character is the broodstock from Bengawan Solo population.Keywords: Giant freshwater prawn, Morphological variation, SiratuGIMacro, Mahakam, Begawan Solo ABSTRAKUdang galah merupakan udang air tawar asli Indonesia, yang memiliki ukuran tubuh terbesar di antara udang air tawar lainnya. Sejauh ini beberapa upaya peningkatan produksi udang galah perlu kajian mendalam, di antaranya melalui perbaikan genetik induk. Adapun informasi penting yang harus diketahui untuk perbaikan genetik induk udang galah adalah karakterisasi morfologis induk udang galah yang diperkirakan unggul. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui variasi morfologis induk udang galah populasi Siratu, GIMacro, Mahakam, dan Bengawan Solo yang dibudidayakan di Unit Kerja Budidaya Air Payau Balai Budidaya Udang Galah (UKBAP BBUG) Samas. Adapun karakter morfometrik utama yang diamati meliputi rasio rerata panjang sefalotoraks: abdomen, rasio rerata panjang karapaks: panjang rostrum dan rasio rerata panjang karapaks: abdomen. Selain itu, 58 karakter variasi morfologis juga diamati, meliputi karakter morfometrik, meristik dan morfologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rasio rerata panjang sefalotoraks dan abdomen terbesar dimiliki populasi Bengawan Solo, sedangkan rasio rerata panjang karapaks dan abdomen terbesar dimiliki populasi Mahakam.

One obstacle in the cultivation of Koi fish (Cyprinus carpio L.) in Bantul Koi Farm D.I. Yogyakarta is a disease caused by parasites of anchor worms (Lernaea cyprinacea L.). Therefore, this study observed the prevalence and intensity of anchor worm ectoparasites in Koi fish in Bantul Koi Farm. Taking fish samples using the purposive sampling technique. Each of three fish individuals was taken as replication from three populations, namely Showa, Shiro and Saragoi, with a size of 28-36 cm. The prevalence and intensity are determined by the observation method by counting the number of anchor worms found. Inferential statistics carried out data analysis of the number of ectoparasites in each population. The results showed that the highest anchor tick ectoparasite prevalence was found in the Shiro population (100%) and the lowest in the Saragoi population (33%). The highest intensity was in the Showa population (4 individu/ fish), and the lowest was in the Shiro population (2 individu/ fish), although all of them were in a low category. The highest number of ectoparasites was obtained from the Showa population (8 individuals) and the lowest in the Saragoi population (3 individuals), but it was not statistically significant. The high prevalence in the Shiro population is due to the high stocking density. Anchor flea ectoparasites attacked the skin and fins of Koi fish and were not found to attack gills. The conclusion of this study is the highest prevalence of anchor tick ectoparasites was found in the Shiro population (100%) and the lowest in the Saragoi population (33%). The highest intensity was found in the Showa population (4 individu/ fish) and the lowest in the Shiro population (2 individu/ fish), even though all of them were in a low category.
