Abstrak: Temperature stress often causes high mortality in giant gourami. One strategy to prevent this threat is to use giant gourami that are adaptive to temperature stress. Adaptive fish can be produced by molecular marker-based selection that utilizes genes associated with giant gourami resilience traits. However, the availability of gene sequence information and molecular markers for selection has not been widely done. This research was conducted as an initial stage for the development of molecular marker-based selection of gourami adaptive to temperature stress through gene expression analysis and gene identification. This research was carried out in three stages. The first stage aims to analyze gene expression levels related to gourami resilience. The second stage aims to identify markers in the gourami genome related to resilience. The third stage aims to select gourami using the Tetra primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain (Tetra-ARM PCR) method and evaluate its correlation with fish resilience. The study began with raising 200 fish to be conditioned in culture containers. For gene expression analysis, 20 giant gourami were transferred to a 55 cm × 45 cm × 45 cm aquarium with a water level of 35 cm. The fish were kept for fourteen days at 28 - 30°C and fed commercial feed with a protein content of 39% by mouth. Water changes of 30% of the aquarium volume were done once a day. The temperature stress test was conducted in two aquarium containers measuring 55 cm × 45 cm × 45 cm with a water height of 35 cm. Each aquarium had its water temperature regulated with the first aquarium at a hot temperature of 32-34 °C and the second aquarium at a cold temperature of 18-20 °C. The fish were transferred directly from the rearing container to the first aquarium for one hour, then the fish were transferred to the second aquarium for one hour. Furthermore, fish behavior was observed and differentiated into two groups of fish, namely adaptive fish and susceptible fish. Adaptive fish are fish that can still swim well, while vulnerable fish are fish that have collapsed at the bottom of the aquarium. A total of five adaptive fish and five vulnerable fish were taken for total RNA extraction. Expression analysis was performed on three resilience-related genes, namely heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), Cu-superoxide dismutase (CuSOD), dan Mn-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) using the qPCR method. The results showed that adaptive fish had a higher gene expression level than the susceptible fish for all the genes tested. The results indicate that there is an important role of these genes in the response of giant gourami to temperature stress. Therefore, these genes can be used as a potential gene as a molecular marker for giant gourami selection. The second phase of the study aims to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HSP70 genome sequence and evaluate fish survival after temperature stress testing. The preparation of adaptive and susceptible fish giant gourami samples for HSP70 genome sequence analysis was carried out in stages, with three replicates. A total of 40 giant gourami were used at each stage. Temperature

Judul: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Responses of Giant Gourami Juvenile Treated by Recombinant Growth Hormone
Abstrak: Ikan gurame (Osphronemus goramy Lac.) merupakan salah satu spesies target revitalisasi perikanan untuk tujuan konsumsi dalam negeri yang produksinya ditargetkan meningkat sekitar 4% per tahun pada tahun 2014. Kendala utama dalam mewujudkan target tersebut adalah laju pertumbuhan somatik ikan gurame yang relatif rendah, yang membutuhkan waktu sekitar 1,5 tahun untuk mencapai ukuran konsumsi (300-500 gram). Target produksi tersebut dapat diwujudkan antara lain melalui penerapan peningkatan kecepatan pertumbuhan ikan gurame menggunakan protein hormon pertumbuhan rekombinan (rGH). Protein rGH telah terbukti mampu memacu pertumbuhan ikan, udang, dan kekerangan, sehingga berdasarkan hal tersebut percobaan ini dilakukan. rGH ikan mas (rCcGH) dan ikan kerapu kertang (rElGH) diekspresikan pada bakteri Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3), diekstraksi dan kemudian diujikan ke benih ikan gurame melalui perendaman untuk memacu pertumbuhannya. Jenis rGH yang memberikan efek pertumbuhan terbaik digunakan pada penelitian selanjutnya untuk menganalisis efeknya terhadap proses metabolisme dan ekspresi gen insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) dan growth hormone receptors (GHRs). Pada penelitian ini juga dilakukan kloning gen IGF-1 dan perancangan primer spesifik IGFs dan GHRs ikan gurame untuk analisis kuantitatif polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Pada tahap akhir penelitian dilakukan uji biokimia untuk mengevaluasi status nutrisi, potensi alergi, dan analisis performa otot daging dan beberapa organ dalam ikan gurame., Aquaculture production of giant gourami in Indonesia is targeted to increase by 4% per year. The main constraint to meet the goal is slow growth of giant gourami, Osphronemus goramy Lac, which takes nearly 1.5 years to grow to a market size of 300-500 g. The target can be achieved by using recombinant growth hormone (rGH) to enhance growth of juvenile. The research was divided into four chapters: (1) analysis of growth and biochemical responses of giant gourami juvenile immersed in recombinant Cyprinus carpio growth gormone with different dosages, (2) analysis of growth, metabolism, and molecular responses of giant gourami juvenile immersed by recombinant Epinephelus lanceolatus (rElGH) and Cyprinus carpio growth hormone (rCcGH), (3) cloning of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-1) gene and designing specific primer for quatitative PCR (qPCR), (4) evaluation of nutritional properties, allergenic potential, and histological performance of giant gourami immersed with rElGH. The results showed that both rElGH and rCcGH could promote growth gain of juvenile giant gourami. The juveniles immersed by 0.03 mg L-1 rElGH was more efficient and effective to enhance the growth of giant gourami juvenile over 120 mg L-1 rCcGH. The rGH has gluconeogenesis effect, in the muscle and liver rGH stimulates triglyceride uptake by enhancing lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and its subsequent storage. The effects of rGH on carbohydrate metabolism may be mediated indirectly via the antagonism of insulin action.

Abstrak: Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Dewan lnternasional Pengembangan Pendidikan (me International Central of Educational Development) da n UNESCO mengungkapkan bahwa negam-negara berkembang umumnya mernpunyai masalah yang terkait dengan peningkatan dan pendapatan yang menjadi dasar penting bagi pendidikan masyarakat. Dengan dernikian perlu diadakannya program pernbangunan pendidikan baik melalui pendidikan fomal maupun pendidikan nonformal. Dalam hal ini lebih ditekankan kepada pendidikan non formal, sehingga memunculkan ide Community Learning centre (CLC).
