Abstract

Water quality is one of several aspects that affect the success of aquaculture business. This study analyzes water quality and assesses its impact on aquaculture enterprises in the Rancong pond region of Lhokseumawe City. The study ran from November to December 2018. The water quality of the Rancong pond was sampled directly and tested in multiple labs. The field survey and purposive sampling strategy separated the research location into four stations with three water sampling points. Temperature, salinity, turbidity, brightness, pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, total organic matter, BOD5, total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, lead (Pb), total Vibrio bacteria, total general bacteria, and phytoplankton types and abundance were measured. The suitability of water quality is assessed using descriptive analysis, scoring, and matching. The investigation indicates that the quality and maintenance of the source water are highly suitable (S1). Traditional vannamei shrimp ponds in Rancong, Lhokseumawe City, should be maintained as fisheries cultivation areas.

Abstract

Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture System (IMTA) is a sustainable approach to aquaculture, utilizing ecosystem dynamics by integrating various species. This study examined the growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos), tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), and oysters (Crassostrea spp.) in IMTA systems with different stocking densities. A 30-day experiment using a nonfactorial-completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications was conducted. The results showed that the implementation of IMTA had no significant impact on the survival rate of milkfish, tiger prawns or oysters in all treatments. However, important variations in growth parameters were observed. Milkfish and tiger prawns showed the highest weight and length gain in treatment B, followed by treatments A, C, and D. Similarly, oysters showed optimal growth in treatment B, followed by A, C, and D, based on weight gain, length, width, and shell thickness. Throughout the study, the physicochemical parameters of the water remained within acceptable ranges, thus supporting ideal growth conditions for the cultured species. These findings underscore the potential of IMTA to increase aquaculture productivity while upholding the principles of environmental sustainability. By optimizing stocking density and encouraging species diversity, IMTA presents a promising avenue for advancing integrated aquaculture practices, in line with the FAO's blue economy concept and ecosystem approach to aquaculture. Future research should concentrate on refining the IMTA system and evaluating its long-term ecological and economic consequences.

Abstract

The increasing use of mercury in the industrial sector poses significant risks to freshwater ecosystems and aquatic organisms. Milkfish (Chanos chanos), a widely consumed species, is now being reared in freshwater environments, raising concerns about mercury bioaccumulation and food safety. This study aimed to determine the median lethal mercury concentration for milkfish at 96 hours (LC50) in freshwater using an experimental approach and probit analysis. Five mercury concentrations were tested: 0 (control), 0 .110 mg Hg/L, 0.195 mg Hg/L, 0.347 mg Hg/L, and 0.618 mg Hg/L. The results indicated that mercury is highly toxic to milkfish, with a 96-hour LC50 of 0.147 mg Hg/L. Clinical symptoms observed included loss of reflex movements, irregular swimming, frequent surfacing with widened mouth and operculum openings, convulsions, and ventilation of the ram before mortality. These findings highlight the acute toxicity of mercury in freshwater milkfish and underscore the potential health risks associated with mercury contamination in aquaculture systems.
