Judul: Kajian perkembangan larva dan pertumbuhan spat Tiram Mutiara Pinctada maxima (Jameson)pada kondisi lingkungan pemeliharaan berbeda
Abstrak: Major constrain in the pearl oyster breeding that are lowest of growth and development of larvae to spat and also low survival rate. One of the affected factors its unknown the optimum of rearing environment conditions, such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and light intensity. The objective of this research was to determine feeding activity, levels of food consumption, types and correct density of feed for optimizing of larvae growth and development of spat so that obtained high survival rate. This research consisted of four levels experiments, which are the study of larvae rearing in laboratory, spat rearing in laboratory, rearing of larvae and spat under optimum environment condition and study of spat rearing in the sea. Factorial completely randomized design was applied to know that effect of types and feed density, physiology response of larvae and spat to the levels of temperature and salinity. Completely randomized design was applied to the study of response of larvae and spat to the levels of light intensity. Randomized block design was applied to the study of spat in natural sea waters.

Judul: Effect of osmotic load on survival, larval development time, and growth potential of freshwater giant prawn post-larvae
Abstrak: The production of freshwater giant praw n through rearing should be increased continuously considering the ever-incre asing market demand. Acceleration in increasing production has been constrained by limitation of seed quality and quantity. The problem has been in effectiveness of salinity management without taking into consideration larval osmotic load in a ha tchery. Hence, the research aimed at understanding osmotic compartment that pot entially plays an important role in survival, larval development, and the potential growth of post-larva of freshwater giant prawns. The basic principal used as determining base was minimizing osmotic load through adaptation and efficiency of energy utilization. The experimental method was causal comparative conditional; while the experimental design used was a complete randomized design with four salinity treatmen ts and three replications. The research consisted of three experiments, covering effects of osmotic load on: (1) larval development, (2) rate of oxygen consumption, and (3) growth potential of freshwater giant prawn post-larvae. Observation was c onducted on those critic al stadium based on preliminary experiment; comprising those of 6 th , 8 th , 11 th and post-larva using the design of complete random type with four tr eatments of salinity and three replications.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
