Tawes fish (Barbonymus gonionotus) is an indigenous Indonesian freshwater species experiencing increasing popularity and demand, particularly among communities in the Southwest Aceh region. Despite widespread cultivation efforts by local fish farmers to meet market needs, production remains constrained, limiting the achievement of optimal aquaculture outcomes. One approach to addressing this limitation involves the incorporation of Moringa oleifera leaf extract into feed to improve overall protein quality, thereby offering a potential strategy to enhance growth performance. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extract supplementation in feed on the growth performance and survival of tawes fish (Barbonymus gonionotus). A completely randomized design was employed with four treatments and three replicates per treatment. The treatments consisted of a control diet (P0) and feed supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaf extract at concentrations of 50 ml/kg feed (P1), 100 ml/kg feed (P2), and 150 ml/kg feed (P3). fish measuring 2–3 cm in length were stocked at a density of 1 fish/L. Fish were fed three times daily at 5% of their body weight over a 40 day experimental period. The results demonstrated that Moringa oleifera leaf extract supplementation in feed had a significant (P < 0.05) positive effect on both survival and growth performance of Barbonymus gonionotus. The diet supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaf extract at 100 ml/kg feed (P2) was identified as the most effective treatment, yielding optimal growth performance and survival.

Rasbora maninjau is a native fish of Aceh that is commonly found in the rivers of Nagan Raya Regency, West Aceh, Aceh. Although this fish has been domesticated to save it, cultural efforts are severely hampered by its slow growth. Lysine and probiotics are introduced to local feed to maintain the proper balance of amino acids in the feed and improve the quality of the protein feed produced. This makes it possible for the feed to act in a different way to promote the growth of the fish. The purpose of this study is to examine how Rasbora maninjau growth, feed efficiency, and survival are affected by the addition of lysine and probiotics to local feed. A randomized design with three replications and five treatments was used in this study. The formulation uses local feed as a reference (P0), local feed with lysine added at a rate of 1.2% and probiotics at a concentration of 15 ml/kg (P1), 1.4% and probiotics at a concentration of 15 ml/kg (P2), 1.6% and probiotics at a concentration of 15 ml/kg (P3), and 1.8% and probiotics at a concentration of 15 ml/kg (P4). Three times a day, 3% of body weight is fed. The study was raised for 40 days. The findings indicated that adding lysine and probiotics to a locally manufactured meal had a substantial (P < 0.05) effect on Rasbora maninjau's growth performance but had no significant effect on survival (P > 0.05). The best dosages for Rasbora maninjau growth performance in the locally manufactured feed are 1.6% lysine supplementation and 15 ml/kg probiotics (P3).

Bileh used as test fish have a length range of 2-2,5 cm. Feed was given three times with at satiation method. Bileh is stored for 30 days. The results showed that the absolute weight growth, absolute length growth, specific growth rate, and feed efficiency were higher in substituting 15% water hyacinth flour in Feed (P3). However, the substitution of water hyacinth flour in Feed had no significant effect on the survival rate and daily growth rate of bileh (P>0.05). The best dose of substitution of water hyacinth flour to increase the growth of Bileh fish and is more economical is 15% in Feed.

Serukan fish (Osteochilus sp) has potential as a cultivation commodity with economic value. Environmental engineering, such as the manipulation of salinity media, has succeeded in increasing the growth of freshwater fish. However, there is no information about the optimal salinity setting for raising serukan fish. This study aims to determine the optimal media salinity based on the growth performance of the serukan juvenile. This study used a completely randomized design (RAL) with four treatments and three replications. The maintenance media in this study included control, P1 (3 ppt), P2 (6 ppt) and P3 (9 ppt). The study was conducted for 45 days with commercial feed. The test parameters included feed chemical analysis, blood glucose, SGR, FI, FE and SR. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Duncan's further test. The optimal concentration of media salinity is determined by an orthogonal polynomial test. The results showed that the salinity-rearing media had a significant effect on the specific growth rate (SGR) and the efficiency of feed usage. The optimal concentration of salinity was found at 3.8 ppt, indicating that the fish call tends to achieve optimal growth at this salinity. The physiological response (stress) of fish, as measured by blood glucose levels, is also directly proportional to the level of salinity and growth performance.Keywords: Blood glucose; Growth performance; Media manipulation; Osteochilus sp; Stress response.

AbstractSnakehead fish (Channa sp.) is one of Indonesia's native freshwater commodities that has been successfully domesticated by fish farmers, yet the domesticated snakehead fish culture still has problems, namely the low survival and growth of local snakehead fish. Overcoming this problem requires a technology that can optimize the survival and growth of the domesticated snakehead fish (Channa sp.). One technology that can be applied is the use of probiotics. This reserach aimed to examine different probiotics through feed to optimize the survival and growth of domesticated snakehead fish (Channa sp.). This research was conducted with an experimental method. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were control treatment (P0), treatment with probiotic composition of Lactobacillus sp., Bacillus spp. and Nitrosomonas sp. (P1), treatment with probiotic composition of Lactobacillus casei and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (P2), and treatment with probiotic composition of Lactobacillus sp., Acetobacter, Rhodobacter sp., yeast (P3). The results showed that different probiotic feeding had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the survival parameters and different probiotic feeding compositions had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the growth parameters. The composition of Lactobacillus casei and Saccharomyces cerevisiae probiotics is the best probiotic composition to increase survival and growth of domesticated snakehead fish.Keywords: Domestication, Growth, Survival Rate, Probiotic

Mitigation of climate change is a business activity to reduce the risk of increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, gases can occur naturally in the environment and can also arise due to human activities. Mangroves are carbon-rich ecosystems and have an important role in climate regulation, namely by their ability to store large amounts of carbon as an effort to offset anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Mangrove ecosystems are able to store high carbon which is useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mangrove ecosystems are also able to store carbon three to four times greater than ordinary tropical forests. The activity was carried out in Lhok Bubon Village, Samatiga District, West Aceh District. This activity was attended by the academic community of FPIK UTU with 50 participants. The method of implementing community service activities used was counseling and demonstration methods with students through planting 100 mangrove stems, namely Rhizopora sp. Protecting the mangrove ecosystem is our common awareness, especially students as the next generation of the nation, one of which is by not cutting down mangrove trees to be used as firewood or charcoal, opening up ponds and destroying the original habitat of mangrove ecosystems that can disrupt coastal aquatic biota. Students are given education (counseling) about the importance of conserving mangrove ecosystems from the threat of climate change mitigation. Students are very enthusiastic and active, it can be seen from the seriousness in participating in mangrove planting activities through discussions, questions and answers, and hands-on practice. Sustainability of a program like this is needed and efforts are made to become a routine program of gampong activities, NGO activities and also academic activities, because with sustainability it will be faster to see the results that have been expected together.
