The effectiveness of fermented bait on dragon fruit orchard stems on catches in the Mangrove and Tebung Tourism waters
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fermented bait used in dragon-type fish traps (bubu naga) in enhancing fishing yields in the mangrove ecotourism waters of Lantebung. Fermented bait is expected to enhance attractiveness to fish, crabs, and shrimp due to the distinctive aroma produced during fermentation, which stimulates the olfactory organs of target species. The study employed bubu naga operated in shallow mangrove waters, with fermented trash fish used as bait. The catch composition included various aquatic species, with the swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) being the dominant species, followed by whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), mullet (Moolgarda seheli), and others such as dogol shrimp, mantis shrimp, kerong-kerong, and mud crab (Scylla serrata). A total of 151 individual organisms were recorded during the study. These results demonstrate that fermented bait is effective in enhancing catch performance, particularly for swimming crabs and shrimp. Thus, its use is recommended as a sustainable fishing strategy utilizing environmentally friendly gear in mangrove areas
Analysis of the stomach contents of the rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus Bloch, 1787) in the bottom trap fishing gear in the waters of Tanakeke Island
The study was conducted to identify the types of food consumed and to determine the percentage composition of each food category based on identification results. A total of 45 rabbitfish samples, divided into three size groups (small, medium, and large), were analyzed for their stomach contents using microscopic identification methods and quantified with the Index of Relative Importance (IRI). The results showed that the stomach contents of rabbitfish were dominated by macroalgae, particularly the Rhodophyta group, followed by seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) and detritus. The highest IRI value was found in red algae, which served as the primary diet, while seagrass and detritus functioned as supplementary food items. The conclusion of this study indicates that rabbitfish in the waters of Tanakeke Island exhibit an opportunistic herbivorous feeding pattern, dominated by macroalgae and seagrass. This feeding pattern highlights the ecological role of rabbitfish in maintaining the balance of seagrass ecosystems. These findings are expected to provide a scientific basis for supporting sustainable rabbitfish fisheries management and for promoting the conservation of coastal ecosystems

Mangrove litter productivity after community forest implementation in Busung Village, Bintan Regency
Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role both ecologically and economically. However, in Bintan Regency, their area has significantly declined due to development activities. This research aims to determine the productivity of the mangrove ecosystem in Busung Village, Bintan Regency, following the implementation of HKm. The study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a purposive sampling method with three observation stations, each consisting of three plots. Observations were made on litter production, decomposition, and mangrove crabs (Scylla sp.) parameters. Litter samples were collected using three 1×1 meter litter traps per plot, while decomposition was measured using litter bags, and mangrove crab samples were collected using foldable traps. Data correlation analysis between parameters was performed using Pearson correlation heatmaps and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results show that litter production in the Busung Village mangrove ecosystem was dominated by leaf components (19.51 g dry weight/m2 /10 days), with an average total production of 84.74 g dry weight/m2/10 days. Correlation analysis across the three stations indicated that mangrove crabs play a role in regulating mangrove litter productivity through their fragmentation/shredding activities, with varying influences depending on the level of human activity and environmental conditions. In areas with minimal activity (Station 1), an increase in crab density and weight significantly reduced the amount of litter. In fishing areas (Station 2), a healthy nutrient cycle was observed with positive correlations between parameters, while crabs controlled litter stock through consumption and fragmentation. In aquaculture areas (Station 3), the productive environment supported crab growth, although litter availability had less direct impact on the crabs

Keter Island, located in Tembeling Tanjung Village, Bintan Regency, harbors a diverse mangrove ecosystem, predominantly composed of Rhizophora species. This study aimed to assess mangrove density at the tree level, evaluate vegetation cover, and determine the ecological status of the mangrove ecosystem based on its level of degradation. Field surveys were conducted to obtain an overview of ecosystem conditions, followed by systematic random sampling at sites within Tembeling waters where mangroves are distributed. The results indicate that mangrove tree density falls within the medium category, while canopy cover is classified as very dense with good ecological quality. Overall, the mangrove ecosystem on Keter Island is categorized as moderate, although it still displays favorable ecological characteristics. These findings suggest that while the mangrove ecosystem remains in a medium condition, degradation is ongoing, thereby necessitating further research and rehabilitation efforts. Given the vital role of mangroves in sustaining the ecological balance of small islands, direct monitoring and intervention by relevant authorities are essential to reduce degradation and ensure the long-term sustainability of the mangrove forest on Keter Island
Effect of chitosan from crab shells (Portunus pelagicus) on the chemical properties of liquid fertilizer
Swimming crab shell waste is a fishery byproduct that has the potential to pollute the environment if not utilized properly. One alternative utilization is to process it into chitosan, which is then formulated into liquid fertilizer. This study aimed to determine the effect of chitosan concentration based on swimming crab shells on the chemical properties of liquid fertilizer. The study was conducted from February to March 2025. Chitosan and liquid fertilizer production was conducted at the Fishery Products Biochemistry Laboratory, Pangkep State Agricultural Polytechnic. The method used was an experimental laboratory with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with three treatments and three replications, with chitosan concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and the W-Tukey HSD test. If the assumption of homogeneity of variance was not met, Welch ANOVA with the Games-Howell test was used to determine differences in effects between treatments. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on most of the chemical properties of liquid fertilizer. The chemical properties of pH were (2.90 3.00 3.23), C-organic were (1.08% 2.72% 4.21%), macronutrients N + P2O5 + K2O were (0.76% 0.64% 1.19%). In conclusion, increasing the concentration of chitosan improves the chemical properties of liquid fertilizer, so that crab shell chitosan has the potential as a material for liquid organic fertilizer formulation
