Biological Aspects of Three Species Family Gobiidae in the Bilah River, Labuhanbatu Regency, Sumatera Utara Province

Abstract

The Bilah river is known to have a fairly high fish biodiversity. Some species of Gobiidae are usually caught by fishermen in the estuary area. But until now there is no data and information related to the biological aspects of the Gobiidae family. The purpose of this study was to determine aspects of the size class and long relationship of the weight of Gobiidae fish caught by fishermen in the Bilah river. This study is exploratory, where fish sampling stations are determined based on fish habitat from fishermen's information (purposive sampling). Fish are caught using traditional fishing gear in the form of splint. The fish caught is then measured in total length and weight. Then the fish obtained based on the catch are grouped in small, medium, and large sizes. Data analysis using Microsoft Excel 2010 applications. In this study, three species of fish that are included in the family Gobiidae namely Butis butis, Butis aureus, and Eleotris fusca. The small category B. butis (9-11.9 cm) fish size class is obtained as many as 2 individuals, medium size (12-14.9 cm) 9 individuals, and large size (15-17.9 cm) 2 individuals. The small size class (6-8.9 cm) of B. aureus fish obtained 2 individuals, medium (9-11.9 cm) 8 individuals, and large 12-14.9 cm) 4 individuals. Small size class (9-11.9 cm) E. fusca as many as 6 individuals, medium (12-14.9 cm) 7 individuals, and large (15-17.9 cm) 3 individuals. The growth pattern of the crazy fish (B. butis) (value b = 0.10), B. aureus (value b = 0.27), and E. fusca (value b = 0.20).

The Effect Of Crop Spacing And Dossage Of Potassium Fertilizer On Growth And Yield Of Sweet Corn (Zea mays Var. saccharata Sturt) Bonanza Cultivar

“…Potassium in soil is often found as a limiting factor, because K is a mobile nutrient and very sensitive to leaching, especially in tropical areas with high rainfall. Potassium is absorbed by plants in a large enough amount or even sometimes exceeds the amount of nitrogen, especially in root crops, although the available K is limited (Hakim et al, 1986).…”

Identification of gelodok fish (Perciformes, Gobiidae) in a coastal mangrove ecosystem, based on morphological and molecular characteristics

“…Gobies are widely geographically distributed in the world, ranging from the Indo Pacific region to the Atlantic coast of Africa (Jaafar & Murdy, 2017). In Indonesia, gobies are found in the region of Sumatra (Maeda & Tan, 2013;Ridho et al, 2021;Harefa & Chen, 2022;Khairul & Lubis, 2022;Hernawati et al, 2023), Java (Arisuryanti et al, 2018;Ningsih & Santoso, 2020;Aji & Arisuryanti, 2021;Baihaqi et al, 2022;Febrianti et al, 2023), Maluku (Taniwel et al, 2020), Sulawesi (Gani et al, 2020(Gani et al, , 2021Bandjolu et al, 2021;Hasan et al, 2021;Astuti et al, 2022;Baderan et al, 2023;Zakiyah Darojat et al, 2023), Nusa Tenggara (Rhaifa et al, 2021), and Papua (Greenfield & Tornabene, 2014;Putra et al, 2022).…”
