Coconut waste is one of the industrial waste or household waste that potentially can be mixed in feed, because it contains of 5,7% protein, 16,3% fat, 38,1% carbohydrate, 31,6% rough fiber, 5,5% water, and 2,6% ash. The aim of this study was to learn the effectivity of adding shredded coconut waste as fish feed ingredients for dumbo catfish fry. This research was carried out in 60 days in Aquaculture laboratorium, Fisheries and Marine, Agriculture Faculty, University of Lampung. This research used completety randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions. Treatment A (0% of coconut waste flour), treatment B (10% of coconut waste flour), treatment C (20% of coconut waste flour), and treatment D (30% of coconut waste flour). The parameters in this research were growth rate, daily growth rate, and feed conversion ration and protein retention and water quality. The result showed that the use of coconut waste flour in feed gave no effect to the growth rate, daily growth rate, and feed conversion ratio for the dumbo catfish.

Anesthetic method is an important component to support the activities of transporting live fish from one place to another for a long period of time. Cost efficiency and effectiveness of anesthetic ingredients that not cause residues in fish are factors to beconsidered as an anesthetic. Aim of this research is to study the effect of subletal concentration of amethyst leaf extract on the hematological conditions of tilapia fry after transporting on wet transportation systems. The research procedure was through the amethyst leaf extract toxicity test series (LC50-96 hours) to determine its sublethal concentration by 20% (0,297 ml/l), 30% (0,445 ml/l) and 40% (0,594 ml/l) of the LC50 value. The measured parameters are clinical symptoms, period of fainting and conscious recovery, hematological analysis, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed the concentration of amethyst leaf extract had an effect (P<0,05) on the period of fainting and the hematological component after transportation simulation. Results of water quality measurement showed the parameters of pH at 6 and ammonia 0,04 mg/l are not at the optimum value when fish transportation occur. The recommended concentration of amethyst leaf extract for use as an anesthetic agent is 0,445 ml/l

Industry development in Indonesia resulted in sewage and polluting heavy metals such as mercury (Hg). These pollutants will be harm organisms that live at aquatic environment. Fish gills could be damage due to exposure by mercury. To know the influence of mercury’s toxic against aquatic organisms by using toxicity test. An aquatic organism, which is usually used as toxicity test, is nilem fish (Osteochilus hasselti). The objective of the study was to determine the value of LC50-96 hours in a toxicity test of nilem fish exposed to lead acetate; to determine the changes in the fish gill and to determine the concentration of lead mercury which causes tissue damage structure in the gills of nilem fish. The design used completely randomized design (CRD) with four concentrations (0; 0.08; 0.16 and 0.24 ppm) and three replications. The objective of the study was sublethal toxicity test. Lethal toxicity concentration data were descriptive and data from sublethal toxicity test were One Way. The analysis showed that there were highest edema 10% and 17% on day 4 and 12, the highest lamella fusion 35% and 59% on day 4 and 12, the highest hyperplasia 45% and 54% on day 4 and 12, and the highest necrosis the 65% and 80% on day 4 and 12. It was concluded that the value of LC50-96 hours in nilem fish (Osteochilus hasselti) toxicity test was 0,3938 ppm; and damage of fish gill tissue changes started to occur in the lead mercury (Hg) concentration of 0,08 ppm.

Peningkatan konsentrasi CO2 di atmosfer menimbulkan dampak efek gas rumah kaca dan mengakibatkan pemanasan global. Karbon biru (blue carbon) merupakan kemampuan ekosistem pesisir dan laut dalam menyerap CO2 secara efektif melalui fotosintesis yang disimpan dalam bentuk biomassa dan sedimen. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis simpanan karbon di vegetasi mangrove Desa Sungai Nibung. Penelitian dilakukan dari Juni sampai Agustus 2022. Lokasi penelitian di Desa Sungai Nibung, Kabupaten Tulang Bawang, Provinsi Lampung. Pengukuran karbon mangrove pada tegakan mangrove, nekromassa, dan serasah yang dilakukan dengan metode non-destructive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karbon tersimpan pada sedimen lebih besar dibandingkan dengan karbon tersimpan pada tegakan, nekromassa, dan serasah. Karbon tersimpan pada sedimen yang tertinggi berada pada sedimen yang memiliki ukuran liat kasar karena liat kasar dapat menyimpan unsur hara yang tinggi.

Macrozoobenthos is one of the organisms that can be used as biological indicators because it tends to live in an area and has sensitivity to environmental changes. The Hurun River had many community activities. Based on this, it was necessary to analyze the diversity of macrozoobenthos which will be compared with the physical and chemical parameters of water in order to find out the indicators that affect the abundance of macrozoobenthos in the river. The purpose of this research was to determine the macrozoobenthic community structure which found in the Hurun River based on diversity, uniformity and dominance indices, to build multiple linear regression models, and to determine the bioindicators of pollution in the Hurun River. The factors that influence the abundance of macrozoobenthos are temperature, depth, brightness, DO, TOM, and salinity. The types of macrozoobenthos obtained were 87 species with the highest abundance of macrozoobenthic animals of 70,666.56 ind/m3 while the lowest abundance of macrozoobenthic animals was 13,000.96 ind/m3. Based on data analysis, the macrozoobenthic diversity index was included in the medium category, the level of macrozoobenthic uniformity was included in the high, medium, and low categories, and the dominance level which was included in the medium and low categories. Multiple regression models with a confidence level of 5% get R2 results of 0.86. The level of pollution that occured in the Hurun River based on bioindicators with the ABC curve shows moderately polluted.
