Naleh fish Barbonymus sp. is a commercial freshwater fish, which is indigenous to Aceh, Indonesia. The population of this species has declined over the years as a result of habitat perturbations and overfishing. Hence, the crucial need to develop a cryopreservation method to support breeding programs. This involved the use of a cryoprotectant as an important component. The objective of this study, therefore, was to explore the best cryoprotectant for naleh fish spermatozoa, and a total of five types were tested. These include the DMSO, Methanol, Ethanol, Glycerol, and Ethylene Glycol at a similar concentration of 10%, which were individually combined with 15% egg yolk, and every treatment was performed in three replications. Conversely, Ringer’s solution was adopted as an extender, and the sperm was cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 15 days. The results showed significant influence on sperm motility and viability, as well as egg fertility of naleh fish (P <0.05), although the DMSO provided the best outcome, compared to others at 47.17%, 50.13%, and 45.67%, respectively. Furthermore, DNA fragmentation had not occurred in the fresh and cryopreserved sperm samples, indicating the protective effect of tested cryoprotectants. It is concluded that the 10% DMSO and 15% egg yolk is the best cryoprotectant for naleh fish spermatozoa.
Indonesia is recognized as one of the territories that have the highest reef fish biodiversity in the world. One of the commercially valuable fish in this area is the groupers (locally name "kerapu"). At least 76 grouper species have been reported in Indonesian waters, with three species were categorized into "vulnerable", five species "Data Deficient", and 68 species under the "Least Concern" category based on IUCN classification. The increasing exploitations rate had been reported caused the grouper stocks in Indonesia to decrease and threatened extinction. However, only limited scientific data is available regarding the grouper in Indonesia, including their identification. In most fish landing sites across Indonesia, the groupers are morphologically identified and recorded as "kerapu" to replace their scientific species names. Accurate species identification is essential in designing appropriate and sustainable management of fisheries resources. One of the tools that have been used in fish identification is DNA barcoding. In the last two decades, this molecular method has been applied to identify many fish groups globally, including grouper fish. This study reviewed the DNA barcoding approach in grouper identification in Indonesia based on the available literature.Keywords:DNA barcodingGrouperMolecular TaxonomyFisheriesIndonesia
Sperm cryopreservation is one of the methods in preserving germplasm and avoid the extinction of native fish. The success of this technique requires proper use of protocol because each species needs a different response to certain protocols. However, very limited of works have been done in Indonesian fish; Presently, there were only 9 species of freshwater, namely; Channa striata, Chromobotia macracanthus, Barbonymus gonionotus, Mystus nemurus, Osphronemus goramy, Osteochilus hasseltii atau Osteochilus vittatus, Poropontius tawarensis, Rasbora tawarensis, and Tor soro, and one species marine fish Ephinephelus lanceolatus have been successfully developed the cryopreservation protocols. The objective of this review paper is to summarized and evaluate the best protocol for sperm cryopreservation of above species The reviewed aspects are including the type of extender and cryoprotectant, freezing process (storage time and temperature), thawing (thawing time and temperature) and observations (including the percentage of motility, viability, abnormality, fertility, and hatching rate).

Keberhasilan kriopreservasi sangat tergantung pada protokol yang digunakan, karena setiap spesies memiliki respon yang berbeda terhadap protokol tertentu. Namun sayangnya sangat sedikit penelitian terkait kriopreservasi sperma ikan-ikan asli Indonesia. Sampai saat ini hanya 9 spesies ikan air tawar (Channa striata, Chromobotia macracanthus, Barbonymus gonionotus, Mystus nemurus, Osphronemus goramy, Osteochilus hasseltii atau Osteochilus vittatus, Poropontius tawarensis, Rasbora tawarensis, dan Tor soro) dan satu spesies ikan laut Ephinephelus lanceolatus yang telah tersedia protokol kriopreservasi spermanya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mencoba merangkum dan mengevaluasi protokol terbaik dalam proses kriopreservasi masing-masing spesies yang tersebut diatas. Aspek yang direview adalah jenis extender, krioprotektan, proses freezing (lama penyimpanan sperma dan suhu), thawing (lama thawing dan suhu) dan data hasil pengamatan (meliputi persentase motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas, fertilitas dan hatching rate.Kata kunci: Extender, Krioprotektan, Freezing, Thawing

The blood clam, Tegillarca granosa (Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the economically important aquatic organisms. Therefore, information related to biometric conditions is crucial as preventive and responsive efforts to manage blood clams. This study aims to analyze the biometric condition of blood clams collected from the northern coast of Banda Aceh City. Blood-clam samples were collected from three locations, namely Alue Naga, Tibang, and Deah Raya. A total of 300 blood clams were observed. The biometric parameters included the distribution of length and weight classes, the relationship between length and weight, condition factors, ratios, and correlations between total weight, meat weight, and shell weight were measured. The results showed that the majority of blood clams found in Deah Raya were in the smaller length and weight classes (30-32 mm and 12,25-17,24 g) compared to those found in Alue Naga (33-35 mm and 17,25-22,24 g) and Tibang (42-44 mm and 22,25-27,24 g). Despite having identical growth patterns (negative allometric) and condition-factor values, the blood clams collected from Alue Naga had higher meat weight ratios than those collected from the other two locations. The correlation values between the weight of the meat and the total weight of the blood clams collected from Deah Raya tends to be lower than those of blood clams obtained from Alue Naga and Tibang, which are 0,55; 0,81; and 0,78, respectively.

Information on the embryonic development of fish is important to understand the early life history of fish, this information is useful for fish breeding, especially in crossbreeding and genetic engineering. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the process of embryonic development and the incubation time of climbing perch eggs which were incubated at a temperature of 28 °C. The results showed that the embryonic development of betok fish was divided into six phases, namely the cleavage phase (3 hours and 5 minutes), morula (4 hours and 30 minutes), blastula (5 hours, and 40 minutes), gastrula (8 hours, and 47 minutes), organogenesis (15 hours, and 39 minutes) and hatched. At an incubation temperature of 28 °C, the climbing perch fish eggs hatched 18 hours and 38 minutes after fertilization.Introduction
Walking catfish Clarias batrachus is a freshwaterr fish that has high economic value. Currently, the culture of this local catfish has been initiated in Indonesia, but the breeding technology has not been well developed. Therefore, this study aims to explore the type of natural extender for sperm preservation of local catfish C. batrachus so that it can support the development of its breeding technology, especially in remote areas. The research was conducted at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiahh Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.. Four types of natural extenders were tested in this study, namely young coconut water, nira water, sugarcane water, and old coconut water. Completely randomized design method consisting of five treatments and three replications were used in this study. Sperm were diluted with each tested extender with a sperm dilution rate of 1:20 (sperm: extender, v/v), then stored at 4 °C. The motility and viability were monitored every 24 h interval for 6 days. The results showed that the natural extender significantly affected the motility, viability, and sperm fertility of walking catfish (P<0.05). Young coconut water produced higher motility and viability on all observation days. The higher sperm motility, viability, and egg fertility on the last day of the experiment were also found in sperm diluted in young coconut water, with values of 45.83%, 43.83%, and 41.50%, respectively. These values were significantly different from other types of extenders. Therefore, it is concluded that young coconut water is the most suitable natural extender for sperm preservation of local catfish at 4 °C.
