Judul: Keterkaitan Ekosistem Mangrove dengan Produksi Ikan di Desa Pagirikan dan Pabean Ilir, Kecamatan Pasekan, Indramayu, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Mangrove sebagai salah satu komponen ekosistem pesisir memegang peranan yang cukup penting, baik di dalam memelihara produktifitas perairan pesisir maupun di dalam menunjang kehidupan penduduk di wilayah pesisir tersebut. Di Kabupaten Indramayu, penurunan luasan mangrove masih terjadi sampai sekarang. Menurunnya luasan mangrove berarti menurunnya kualitas habitat yang akan berakibat pada menurunnya produksi ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan pengaruh perubahan ekosistem mangrove terhadap produksi ikan pada kawasan mangrove di pesisir Indramayu. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif korelasional dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitaif. Data produksi dari kedua desa tersebut dibandingkan nilai rata-rata dan standar deviasinya (α = 5%) (Barnard et al. 1993). Data penelitian yang dikumpulkan berupa data produksi ikan dari kedua desa dan data kondisi mangrove di kedua desa. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan produksi rata-rata dari kedua desa berbeda nyata sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat keterkaitan antara kondisi ekosistem mangrove dengan produksi ikan.

Judul: Keterkaitan Ekosistem Mangrove dengan Keanekaragaman Ikan di Pabean Ilir dan Pagirikan, Pasekan Indramayu, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Mangrove ecosystem has high productivity because it has the ability as a nutrient trap, which supports aquatic biota, especially fish. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mangrove densities with total fish catch, number of fish species, and fish diversity. The data collections were mangrove condition, fish, physical, and chemical parameters. The results showed that mangrove density in Pabean Ilir Village higher than Pagirikan village. The highest importance value index of mangrove was Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina. Total number of fish catch in two locations were 1093 individuals, consisting of 80 species belonging to 38 families. The dominant fish species were Ambassis nalua, Johnius belangerii, Leiognathus equulus, and Platycephalus indicus. There was positive relationship between the mangrove density with the total number of fish catch, number of fish species, and fish diversity in Pabean Ilir Village and Pagirikan Village, Pasekan Indramayu, West Java.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
