Judul: Pendugaan Distribusi Spasial Ikan secara Hidroakustik di danau Ranau, Sumatera
Abstrak: Ranau Lake is classified as volcanic lake with maximum depth of 229 m. abiotic factors like temperature and oxygen hold the important role in organism distribution expecially in the deep lake. The aimed of this study was to obtain the distribution of fish schooling, as a part of fisheries management in Ranau Lake. Research was conducted in Ranau Lake that covered South of Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) and West of Lampung, in November 2012 and February 2013. Acoustic survey covered all part of lake that lies in South of OKU and West of Lampung. Acoustic data acquisition has done continuously during cruise with motor vessel velocity range about 5-10 knot. Acquisition track covered the width of lake in order to be analyzed spatially from the start point in South of OKU. Acoustic data was analyzed by using Echoview 4.8. Data analyzed from 5-125 m depth that divided into 5 layers. Elementary Sampling Distance Unit (ESDU) used by 100 ping. Data was limited by minimum threshold -90 dB and maximum threshold -20 dB. Hydroacoustic instrument used in this study are the split beam echosounder Simrad EY60, length of fish was measured by equipment of fish length measurement, Dyssolved Oxygen (DO) was measured by DO meter, Nansen bottle was used to take sample water, temperature of water in specific depth was taken by CTD. Based on Sv value, it is known that fish doesn’t distributed evenly. Fish group distributed in littoral zone of lake spatially. Small group found in west part of lake, while the largest group concentrated in south east and east part of lake. Vertical distribution showed that all of size class (small to large) found in 5 to 75 m depth (-90 to -34 dB), while the largest size found in 101 to 125 m depth (-76 to -35 dB). Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen show the unstratified water layer. Both of Coefficient of correlation between Sv and DO (71%) also Sv and temperature (74%) show the strong relationship respectively. Target strength (TS) vertical distribution show that the larger fish (28-50 cm) found in 51-100 m depth and small fish found in 5-50 m and 101-125 m (0.9-11.3 cm). The present of target in water colomn are link to the food abundance (plankton), metalimnion layer from micro stratification as a boundary of nutrient movement from the layer above and below it, adaptation form of the lower temperature and oxygen also prey avoiding. Strong correlation showed between TS and temperature (63.4%) and TS with plankton abundance (55.2%).

Judul: Distribusi Ikan pada Dua Musim di Perairan Pulau Gebe, Halmahera Tengah dengan Metode Akustik.
Abstrak: Hydroacoustic technology was applied to detect fish distribution in Gebe Island, Central Halmahera thus providing the information about the optimal time of fishing. This study aimed to measure Sv value in detecting the location fish and to measure environmental factors related to Sv distribution in Gebe Island, Central Halmahera. Split Beam Hydroacoustic method was applied in this study using Biosonic DTX 1000 equipment. Acoustic data processing was run in Echoview 4.8, Ms-Excel 2007, ODV (Ocean Data View) 4.1, and 10.0 Surfer. The use of software also helps to interpret results that were conducted in two seasons. Data interpretation showed vertical and horizontal Sv distribution and temperature distribution in Gebe Island, Central Halmahera. This research revealed that large quantities of fish were found at 25-50 meters depth in February, while in October the most quantity of fish is found at 5-25 meters.

Judul: Pembibitan cengkeh di perkebunan selokaton dan suatu alternatif pengembangannya
Abstrak: Sejak dahulu kala, Cengkeh (Eugenia caryophyllus. Sprengel) dikenal sebagai bahan obat pemeliharaan gigi dan rempah-rempah. Di Tiongkok dan India digunakan dalam tata- cara keagamaan diantaranya dimasukkan ke dalam peti, sedangkan di Persia lama diceritakan bahwa cengkeh merupakan lambang cinta dan dipergunakan pada upacara pernikahan. Sejak abad 19, dalam bidang Industri Kimia minyak cengkeh dipergunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan parfum, obat-obatan dan vanilin untuk membuat kueh. Di Indonesia mulai tahun 1920, cengkeh merupakan bahan periang yakni untuk rokok kretek. Sejak tahun 1930 Indonesia merupakan konsumen terbesar dari produk cengkeh dunia yaitu untuk industri rokok kretek (Hadiwijaya, 1982). Jika dihitung sejak tahun 1959 sampai dengan 1979, maka impor Indonesia rata-rata 9.4 ribu ton per tahun. Pada tahun 1981 diperkirakan penggunaan cengkeh untuk rokok kretek ini di dalam negeri lebih dari 40 ribu ton (Chaniago, 1980). Impor ini terutama dari Zanzibar, Madagaskar dan Pemba. Lebih lanjut menurut Majalah Indikator Ekonomi, 1980 impor cengkeh pada tahun 1979 sekitar 11 ribu ton dengan nilai sebesar 68.1 juta dolar AS. Ini tentu cukup berarti bagi penghematan devisa negara. Di samping itu yang lebih menarik lagi adalah + industri rokok kretek dapat menyerap 150 ribu tenaga kerja.
