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: Pangasianodon hypophthalmus or stripped catfish is a potential freshwater aquaculture fish commodity as filet because has the good taste, soft texture, and contain good nutrition. Food and Agriculture Organization reported at the end of June 2011 the amount of stripped catfish filet absorbed by the importing countries recorded are, United States approximately 92,000 tonnes, Europe 188, 100 tonnes, India 1,500 tons and Philippines 7,200 tons. This opportunity not be utilized by Indonesian exporters because until the end of 2010 the production of stripped catfish filet is still low, around 104, 975 tonnes. Exploring the cause of low production stripped catfish filet it is not maximal of growing up because the limited availability of seeds for growing. This happen cause maturation of gonad and spawning from stripped catfish parents only in rainy season. This research was carried out to determine the role between PMSG and Antidopamin used as a combination in gonads rematuration of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The lasted for 60 days, sampling was done every 14 days involve : (1) specific growth rate, by weighing each individual in all treatments, (2) analysis of the hormone estradiol - 17 β, by observing the blood plasma using the ELISA method, (3) blood glucose levels by observing the blood plasma method (4) hepatosomatic index, by weighing using digital scales 2 digits (5) gonadosomatic index, by weighing using digital scales 2 digits (6) histology of the gonads, making histological preparations method (7) egg diameter with observation and photography using a binocular Olympus mikroskup type SZX16 100 times magnification lens (8) percentage of gonads fish mature, by cannulation using a catheter on day 28 and 42, and (9). Water quality observed every 7 days. This research uses a factorial design consist 3 PMSG dose level and 2 AD dose level. Doses formulation that is composed as follows : 1.P1A0 (PMSG 10 IU / kg fish + AD 0 mg / kg fish),2.P2A0 (PMSG 20 IU / kg fish +AD 0 mg/ kg fish), 3.P0A1 (PMSG 0 IU / kg fish + AD 0.01 mg / kg fish), 4.P1A1 (PMSG 10 IU/ kg fish + AD 0.01 mg/ kg fish), 5. P2A1 (PMSG 20 IU / kg fish + AD 0.01 mg/ kg fish), and 6. P0A0 (Nacl 0,09%) as control. Each combination of dose and control were tested to 7 fishes. Data obtained were processed with Minitab 16. followed by Tukey test. In this research showed that the test fishhes had significantly gonad development are injected with formulations containing PMSG, or combinations between PMSG and Antidopamin namely: P1A0, P2A0, P1A1, and P2A1. This fact shown from the increase in specific growth rate, hormone estradiol - 17β, hepatosomatik index, gonadosomatik index, gonad development and eggs diameter and percentage of gonads mature. Result of the research that has been done that the best dose combination for rematurasi process of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is P1A1 (PMSG 10 IU / kg weight of fish AD + 0.01 mg / kg weight of fish).

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.
