Judul: Reproductive biology of bornean endemic fish Hampala bimaculata (Popta, 1905)
Abstrak: Hampala bimaculata is an endemic species of Borneo. The fish is very sensitive to poor water quality, reason why inhabit mainly clear rivers or streams with running water with sandy to muddy bottoms. Although, H. bimaculata is a food fish, being also popular in sport fishing, little is known of the important aspects of its reproduction to assist with fisheries management planning. For the first time, this study described and determined the general reproductive biology of H. bimaculata with regards to gonads development, type of ovarian organization, spawning type, sex ratio, size at first maturity, spawning season, and fecundity. This study also estimated population and habitat preference of H. bimaculata based on fish population collected in Betung Kerihun National Park, West Kalimantan Province. A total of 181 individuals specimens were collected from February to October 2013 and the collection continued from July to November 2014 using gill nets and anglings. The fish samples were caught in Embaloh (124’31.6”N-119’18.3”S and 11223’44”-11229’36.8”E) and Sibau (120’33.6”N-102’39.8”S and 11253’23”- 11315’08.1” E) watersheds in the Betung Kerihun National Park, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The total length (TL) of the fish was taken on a fish measuring board to the nearest milimeter. The fish samples were weighed in terms of total weight (W) using digital balance. The fish samples were then dissected, sexed and the gonads were removed and weighed to an accuracy of 0.01 g. Based on macroscopic and microscopic observations, four stages of testicular maturation were distinguished for H. bimaculata i.e. immature or resting, maturing, mature and spent. The ovaries development were classified into five stages: immature or resting, maturing, mature, ripe, and spawned-recovering. Histological analysis of the ovarian development indicated that H. bimaculata exhibits synchronous group, in that at least two groups (cluthches) of oocytes can be distinguished at the same time during the reproductive cycle. The presence of different oocytes development sizes in the spawned and recovering stage and polymodal distribution of oocyte diameter in ripe stage of this fish might indicate a batch spawner. The sample data showed that males’ size ranged from 205 mm to 475 mm in total length and 105 g to 800 g in total weight. Females were 220 mm to 620 mm in total length and 110 g to 3050 g in total weight. The overall sex ratio was 1:2.23 males to females shows significant deviation from the expected 1: 1 (p<0.05). Females seem to be dominant compared with males. Size structure ranged from 200 to 620 mm total length (TL) with significant difference in sex ratio which departed from (1:1) for fish measuring between 350 and 549 mm TL. Meanwhile, estimated L50 values for size at first maturity were 375.7 mm for males and 450.9 mm for females. The length-weight relations showed an allometric negative growth for males (b = 2.73) and isometric for females (b=2.98). H. bimaculata in the waters of Betung Kerihun National Park has a iv prolonged spawning season, being restricted mainly from late July to October, but some spawning may also occur in early November. Fecundity of the fish was relatively high, which

Judul: Perkembangan Gonad Ikan Bilih ( Mystacoleucus padangenis Blkr) dalam Kondisi Pakan Alami dan Buatan
Abstrak: The bilih fish (Mysincolez~cuspndangensiBs lkr) is a native and endemic fish living in open water of Singkarak Lake, West Sumatera. Extensive and unselected catching of up to one ton per day threatens the fish population and endangers its conservation. In the effort to conserve the bilih fish a research had been conducted exsilo at the Seameo Biotrop laboratory in Bogor from September 1997 to Jan~~a1r9i9 8. The objective of this research is to study the effect of natural and artificial feeds (phytoplankton and pellet, respectively) on the growth pattern, the development of gonads and oocytes, the gonadosomatic indexes and fecundity of the bilih fish. Eighty four bilih fish (67 males and 17 females) were divided into two treatment groups of 42 each. The first group was treated with natural feed (phytoplankton) containing 27.89 percent protein and the second group was treated with artificial feed containing 42 percent protein. One sample of two fish each was randoinly taken every two weeks for observation, measurement and analysis. Results of this research revealed that the growth pattern of the bilih fish differs between the inale and female fish under natural feeding but not under artificial feeding conditions. Under natural feeding condition the length and weight of the female and inale bilih fish ranged from 86.00 to 101.75 mm and 5.23 to 8.15 grams, 75.00 to 96.00 mm and 3.12 to 6.35 grams , while under artificial feeding it ranged from 87.00 to 120.05 rnm and 6.01 to 17.01 grams, 78.15 to 108.95 mm and 4.76 to 13.50 grains respectively. Under natural feeding the growth pattern for females and males were negative allometric, positive allometric, whereas under artificial feeding they were isometric. Under natural feeding the female gonads reached its maximum maturity at stage 111 and the male ones at stage IV, whereas under artificial feeding the female and male gonads reached maximum maturity at stage IV. The gonadosomatic indexes of females and males under natural feeding ranged from 1.01 to 9.73 percent and 0.88 to 6.18 percent, and under artificial feeding it ranged from 1.95 to 10.64 percent and 4.18 to 7.26 percent respectively. The total fecundity under artificial feeding were between 4.057 to 11.349 grains. The oocytes development was an asinchronism type with a tendency of partiel spawner. It is generally concluded that artificial feeding with high (42%) protein content promotes growth, gonadal development and fecundity of the bilih fish better than the natural feeding with a lower (27.89%) protein content.
