Abstrak: Natural spawning in fish is more preferable than induce breeding. Cangkringan method offer an alternative that very close to natural spawning, since this method using spawning common carp to stimulate java carp to spawn. The stimulation most likely caused by pheromone which released from common carp. The use of pheromones in fish spawning has a highly practical because it can be applied without handling fish too much thus eliminating stress, and stimulate the endogenous normal processes of mature brood stock that eliminating failures in fertilization. Stimulation of spawning by pheromones potential to be developed further on mass spawner fish. The evidence of pheromones of common carp spawning in Cangkringan method may cause primary responses or releaser responses in Java carp to spawn, which in turn cause spawning of Java carp. In induce breeding, either by using hypophyzation technique or other gonadotropin hormone has several disadvantage. For using pituitary gland, the weakness are the loss of donor fish because it was taken their hypophysis, standardized pituitary gland extract is difficult to do because there are too many hormones involved, there are fears of an interaction among the hormones, and disease transmition. Spawning fish using Cangkringan method have several advantages such as reducing stress and avoid mortality risk, repeating inducer for spawning several times, and providing alternative to develop pheromones as an inducer. However, it is not clear until now the control of female common carp to induce spawning of Java carp in Cangkringan method. Therefore it is important to find the responsible pheromone in future. This study aimed to evaluate control of female common carp to induce spawning of Java carp in Cangkringan method. Each pair of Java carp was placed in the same tank with three common carp (♂♂♀ or ♀♀♀) injected or not injected with ovaprim. Between common carp and Java carp, they were separated by net. This study consist of three treatments, and two controls with three replications. The composition of this treatment were ♂ ♂ ♀ not injected (A), ♂ ♂ ♀ injected (B), ♂ ♂ not injected and ♀ injected ( C), ♀♀♀ injected (D) and ♀ ♀♀ not injected (E). Sampling for egg was conducted before the first injection by cannulation tecniques. Observation indicated that egg diameter ranged from 0.99 to 1.96 mm for common carp eggs, while the diameter of Java carp eggs ranged from 0.67 to 0.75 mm. Results of this study showed that fish which act as inducer spawning in Cangkringan method is common carp because Java carp would spawn only if common carp was spawn. The Java carp never spawn precedes before common carp. These results indicated that inducing of common carp on spawning of Java carp enabled due to ovulating heterosexual couple carp (♂♂♀) or ovulating couples monosex (♀♀♀). The fastest interval time induction of common carp on natural spawning of Java carp indicated by B3 treatment is 6 hours 55 minutes, then E3 is 6 hours 58 minutes, and C3 is 8 hours 5 minutes Analysis of testosterone and estradiol showed that testosterone concentration of male common carp and estradiol concentration

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.

Judul: Utilization of terra/MODIS L1B data for analysis of horizontal wind profile in the troposphere
Abstrak: This study was concerned with horizontal wind derived from data collected with the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA’s Earth Observation System (EOS)-Terra satellite. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the estimation of horizontal wind movement in the troposphere based on Navier-Stokes equation. The method was applied to a calibrated and geolocated Terra/MODIS L1B 1 km data set. The data inputs to estimate surface temperature are retrieved from TIR (Thermal Infrared) bands 31 (10.780 μm to 11.280 μm) and 32 (11.770 μm to 12.270 μm). The obtained surface temperatures were later used to approximate geopotential height on a constant-pressure surface by using the modified Poisson equation. The main assumptions used are the hydrostatic equilibrium, ideal gas law, constant lapse rate and constant acceleration of gravity. Based on the distribution of geopotential height, the pressure gradient force is measured by the gradient of geopotential on an isobaric coordinate to present the horizontal wind profile. For certain topographic areas especially in the mountain ranges, there was a disadvantage of using pressure as a vertical coordinate which lead to inaccuracy. In spite of that, Terra/MODIS L1B data with 1 km spatial resolution can be used to estimate the horizontal wind movement in the troposphere.
