The Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to conduct training on microalgae culture and water quality management in aquaculture ponds as an effort to improve the quality of natural feed for shrimp seeds. This activity was carried out in the Tuban Barokah Benur group in 2021. A cultivation experiment of three types of microalgae was carried out and the species was given as a natural feed for shrimp seeds. Microalgae Tetraselmis sp., Dunaliella sp., and Chlorella sp. were cultured for 7 days and tested as shrimp seed feed. The results showed that the percentage of survival of shrimp seed was highest in the containers given byTetraselmis sp. (32%). Furthermore, microalgae culture assistance activities in the Benur Barokah group used the microalgae Tetraselmis sp. carried out in Situ on a small scale. In addition, water quality tool measurement is also provided to help monitor the water quality of the tank regularly. The questionnaire results showed a positive response to training activities from Benur Barokah partners covering six aspects with a good response of 50-90%.
Microalgae is a promising and innovative biological resource. Indonesia has the potential for the development of microalgae production. One of the microalgae that have high economic value is Arthrospira platensis. In the production of microalgae, the development of suitable media and environmental conditions need to be factors that must be considered. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different nitrogen sources and nitrogen doses and their interaction on the growth of microalgae Arthrospira platensis cultured in fresh water. In addition, analyzing the water quality of Arthrospira platensis culture media. This study used an experimental method of Completely Randomized Factorial Design) with two factors. The first factor is the nitrogen source (Sodium nitrate, Potassium nitrate, and Calcium nitrate). The second factor is the dose of nitrogen source (2 g/l.2.5 g/l.3 g/l). The main parameter observed was microalgae growth, while the supporting parameter was the water quality which affected the growth of Arthrospira platensis. The highest density results were found in the provision of a nitrogen source of Ca(NO3)2 3 g/l, which was 370,000 cells/ml. The results of the ANOVA test showed that the type of nitrogen source, the dose, and the interaction between the two affected the specific growth rate of Arthrospira platensis. The environmental conditions during culture ranged from 20.2°C-26.2°C, pH values 8.95 – 10.18, and dissolved oxygen 9.17 – 9.77 mg/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
