Abstrak: Various ways can be done to reduce of catches effort in coral reef ecosystem. One of them is the use of FAD placed in the bottom waters around coral reef. The research was held from August until October 2013. The purpose of this study is to calculate the rate of coral fish diversity, abundance and fish behaviour as a Fish Aggregating Device. In this research, the coconut shells FAD were deployed at the 15 m (FAD 1), 10 m (FAD 2), and 8 m (FAD 3) away from natural reef. The number of coral fishes was obtained by using visual census method, then it was analyzed by Shannon-wiener index and Annova. The results showed that there was an impact from placing FAD in different distance on the number and abundance of coral fish. The diversity values for FAD 1, 2, 3 are 2.299, 3.334, and 3.485 consecutively. In addition, the abundance values for each FAD is 2666,666 Ind/Ha (FAD 1), 1866,666 Ind/Ha (FAD 2) and 3000 Ind/Ha (FAD 3). Most of fish attracted by these device were Pomacentridae and Caesionidae, their swimming behavior showed that they were looking for food surround FAD.The abundance and diversity value of coral fish around FAD was good, which the biodiversity index is >3. It could be categorized as Fish Aggregating Device.

Abstrak: The research was aimed to study fish behavior and the influence of FAD on zone of influence of traps, and studying the influence of FAD on the fish caught using traps in terms of the species, number and size. This study was conducted in Hansisi waters, Semau, Kupang. The research observed periphton shelter to FAD attractor made from lontar leaves (Borrasus flabellifer) and gewang leaves (Corypha gebanga). The observation on the community of reef fish and their behavior around zone of influence of traps with FAD and without FAD using visual census method.

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.
