Judul: Induction of Ovulation and Spawning in Catfish (Pangasianodon hypopthalmus) with Hormonal Manipulation
Abstrak: Striped catfish is a species introduced from Thailand, has economically important because the meat is preferred by Indonesian society. Fish farming is growing rapidly, thus increasing the need for seed. Spawning of these fish can only be done by artificial spawning by stripping, which can lead to decreased quality of broodstock, gametes and seeds. The purposeof this study is to hormonally induce ovulation and spawning of seminatural for catfish and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of hormone LHRH, antidopamin (AD), aromatase inhibitors (AI), prostaglandin(PGF2a), oxytocin and ovaprim to induce ovulation and spawning on this fish. Mature fish (1.5 - 3.5 kg per fish), was treated by hormonal injection with: LHRHa + AI (Spawnprime 1); AD + AI (Spawnprime 2); LHRHa + AD + AI + PGF2α (Spawnprime 3); LHRHa + AD + AI + PGF2α + oxytocin (Spawnprime 4); LHRHa + AD + oxytocin (Spawnprime 5); LHRHa + AD + PGF2α (spawnprime 6), AI + oxytocin (spawnprime 7), AI + PGF2α (spawnprime 8); ovaprim, and NaCl (0.90%). The results showed that spawnprime has faster latency period (6-8 hours) compared ovaprim (12 hours). spawnprime 1, 2, 5, and 6 can be spawned artificially by stipping, while spawnprime 3,4,7 and 8 naturally. The best results were shown by spawnprime 4 which causes ovulation rate of 100%. The latency period in spawnprime 4 is 6 hours and 33 minutes, the amount of egg in ovulation time is 195.000 ± 41079.19 eggs, the fertilization rate is 91.87% ± 3.03, the hatching rate is 92.33% ± 5.86, the survival rate of larvae 93.91% ± 2.96, diameter egg is 1.05 ± 0.04 mm and concentrations of estradiol 0.7 pg / ml. spawnprime can induced for ovulation and ntural spawning (without stripping) on stripped catfish. Spawnprime can be used as an alternative in the artificial propagation.

Abstrak: Aquaculture is an activity culture for fish that have a good prospect. In all many kind of fishes that be cultured, Pangasionodon hypothalamus is a one of the fish which have good prospect in hatchery industry. However, the breeding of catfish (Pangasionodon hypothalmus) can only be done by artificial spawning with hormonal stimulation. Aromatase inhibitor (AI) have been known to accelarate the process of gonadal maturation in fish. The combination of aromatase inhibitor (AI), antidopamine (AD) and LHRHa has been used to accelerate the final maturation and also as a substitute LHRHa. In this study, various doses of LHRHa 0, 5,10, 15 μg/ml combined with AI and AD, which later named Spawnprim A, B, C, and D, then injected the fish with a dose of 0,7 ml/kg fish. Ovaprim has been used as a positive control and physilogical solution as a negative control. Fish injected with HCG at a dose of 0,3 ml/kg fish 24 hours before injection with spawnprim or ovaprim. Ovulation has been observed by artificially spawning by stripping. The result showed that fish injected with spawnprim been able to ovulate with good quality eggs at 14 hours after the time of injection or 2 hours late compared with ovaprim. Spawnprim can be used as an alternative in the artificial spawning with hormonal stimulating with hormonal stimulation with a more economical price.

Abstrak: Kereta api merupakan salah satu sarana angkutan yang murah, cepat dan aman serta dapat mengangkut barang dalam jumlah besar. Kelancaran operasi sarana angkutan tersebut banyak ditentukan oleh kondisi jalan rel, termasuk kondisi bantalannya. Dalam hal ini bantalan rel kereta api dapat dibuat dari kayu, logam, atau beton. Namun demikian kayu merupakan bahan yang paling banyak digunakan sebagai pembuat bantalan rel kereta api di berbagai negara. Kenyataan menunjukkan bahwa kayu yang digunakan sebagai bantalan rel kereta api sering mengalami berbagai macam kerusakan yang menyebabkan bantalan tidak berfungsi lagi atau menurun fungsinya. Di Indonesia, informasi mengenai jenis dan tingkat kerusakan bantalan kayu masih sangat kurang, pada- hal informasi tersebut sangat penting sebagai dasar pertimbangan dalam rangka pemeliharaan jalan kereta api, agar umur pakainya (service life) lebih lama.
