No full textThe tourism industry is one of the most important sectors for the economic development of a country
around the world. Therefore, most countries use a variety of approaches including interactive graphic
design to attract the attention of visitors traveling to their respective countries. In Malaysia, for
example, most of the organizations involved in the tourism industry have strengthened their
advertising towards interactive graphic design approach, especially the state tourism departments. One
of the states in Malaysia that is actively developing tourism advertising and infrastructure is the state
of Terengganu, which located on the east coast of peninsular Malaysia. In fact, the state of Terengganu
has its own tourist attraction. There are many tourist attractions listed in the state. Among the
organizations responsible for operating and promoting the tourism industry in the state is known as
Terengganu Tourism. The Terengganu Tourism is an exemplary organization in the production of
positive tourism advertisements, where a variety of creative and innovative tourism advertisements
have been widely produced, and easily seen everywhere around the state. However, there are some
matters related to the interactivity of the tourism ads that need to be improved, especially the identity
of the logos. This study is conducted is to identify the main vernacular capacity found in the existing
tourism logos, to analyse side-vernaculars for improvement to the existing tourism logos, and to
recommend to Terengganu Tourism about the findings of new interactive graphic tourism logo design
for their future tourism promotion use. This study was conducted based on qualitative research methods through time sampling observations and semi structured interviews. In addition, thematic
analysis is also used to ensure that the theme of the study is coherent, consistent and distinctive. The
findings of the study, which is the new interactive graphic tourism logo design, do have strong
vernacular elements, such as diversity of culture, icon and heritage of the state of Terengganu. All
efforts from Terengganu Tourism towards creative advertising, improvement in market segmentation,
and innovative promotional campaigns at the national and international levels will be appreciated
Dried acetes as growth promoter for guppy (Poecilia reticulata) nutrition
No full textAcetes is a marine shrimp that is still an under-studied source as feed ingredient for tropical
ornamental fish. Ornamental fish is regarded as pet fish due to its mystic attractiveness for pet fish
enthusiasts and requires good protein source to attain good growth and skin colour enhancement. The
prevailing feed industry due to continuos pandemic has resulted many enthusiasts to look for
alternative growth promoter as feed for guppy. The aims of this study were to determine the
nutritional composition in dried Acetes and to investigate the effects of dietary dried Acetes meal on
growth performance of Guppy (Poecilia reticulate). Five dietary isocaloric feeds namely Tcontrol
(commercial feed only), T0 (100% commercial feed and 0% of dried Acetes.), T1 (75% commercial diet
and 25% of dried Acetes spp.), T2 (50% commercial diet and 50% of dried Acetes), T3 (25% commercial
diet and 75% of dried Acetes) and T4 (0% commercial diet and 100% of dried Acetes) were formulated as
feed for juveniles of Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) reared in triplicates for 30 days. Growth indices like
Body Weight Gain, Feed Conversion Rate, Feed Intake and Survival Rate were observed in every 10
days. Results indicated that T4 with 100% dried Acetes attained a significantly high BWG of 222.6% with
low feed intake and FCR of less than 3.5. It can be concluded that inclusion of 50 to 100% dried Acetes
in feed has contributed to optimal growth performance of guppy. It is also recommended that further
studies on dietary Acetes could be done to examine other properties that could be further developed as
superfeed for ornamental fish and thereby enhance growth and productivity of the ornamental fish
industry as well as economic efficiency
