Judul: Mud Crab’s (Scylla serrata Forskal 1775) Response to Different Decaying Level of Gold Snail (Pomacea canaliculata Lamarck 1822) Bait.
Abstrak: Mud crab is well known as omnivorous-vigorous-voracious-opportunistic-scavenger. These intertidal animals applies mainly chemoreception in their predatory behaviour. It has been commonly assumed that non fresh gold snail bait is better than fresh bait in stimulating the mud crab. This research's aim is to analyze mud crab response to different decaying level of gold snail bait. Their response were observed as time required to touch the bait and pattern and direction of the mud crab in approaching the baits. The different decaying level of gold snail baits were shown on Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVBN) as 16.3 mg/100g (0 day); 534.1 mg/100g (3 days); and 887.4 mg/100g (6 days). The research was conducted from July 2009 until February 2011. The TVBN test for gold snail baits were conducted at Laboratory of BBPPHP Jakarta. The experiment was conducted in Pemalang. The result showed that the average period of mud crabs to touch the baits were 52.14 minutes; 61.57 minutes and 52.57 minutes. Anova test concluded no sufficient evidence of significant effect of TVBN content of gold snail bait on mud crab’s feeding behaviour. Movement pattern B, i.e. left and right deviation followed by straight forward movement to the bait, was commonly exhibited by the crabs. Consequences of time period required by the mud crab to approach the bait on fishing operation is discussed.

Abstrak: Supply of mud crab depand on nature stock because crab culture activities and cultivation technology is still limited, so that the exploitation of natural crab was in uncontrolled. In addition, the high mortality due to cannibalism is still the dominant factor affecting the maintenance of mud crab production, both in the larvae and post-larvae stage. A research aimed to examine the effect of temperature on the survival rate and growth rate of mud crab. The research had been done on April 2014 in the Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Physiology, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Bogor Agricultural University. The treatments consisted of the temperature medium 25±0,21oC (A), 27±0,15oC (B), 29±0,21oC (C), and 31±0,21oC (D). The mud crabs measuring of 90±2,02 g/fish were reared in an container with circulation system with a density of 8 fish/container during 28 days. The results showed that the mud crab were reared on different temperatures had a significant effect (p <0.05) on the survival rate and growth rate of mud crab. The temperature of 29±0,21oC was the optimum temperature for mud crab.

Judul: Peranan Pesantren dalam Pembangunan Pedesaan
Abstrak: Pesantren (pondok atau pondok pesantren) adalah suatu lembaga pendidikan keagamaan Islam yang pada umumnya tumbuh di kalangan masyarakat pedesaan. Pertumbuhannya merupakan hasil refleksi pimpinan pesantren dan masyarakat terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat sekitar. Disamping sebagai lembaga pendidikan keagamaan, diharapkan pesantren dapat berperan sebagai lembaga sosial kemasyarakatan yang dapat membantu pemerintah dalam menyebar luaskan inovasi pembangunan kepada masyarakat, dan menggerakkan masyarakat agar berperan serta dalam pembangunan.
