description: This research aims to describe the morphology and anatomy of each species from the research location and to analyze the community structure of macroalgae from the research location. Data collection was done using the Line Transect method with a quadrat sampling technique during the lowest tide. Temperature and salinity checks were measured using a thermometer and refractometer. Substrate determination was done visually based on the type of substrate. The results of this study found 9 species, consisting of 4 red algae species (Rhodophyceae) and 5 green algae species (Ulvophyceae). The morphology of these algae species varies, with different anatomy based on transverse and longitudinal sections of each part of the alga's thallus. The highest species density was H. edulis, while the lowest densities were A. fragilissima, D. versluysii, T. fragilis, and C. racemosa.

Genetic Characterization of Caesio cuning (Bloch, 1791) Using COI Gene Markers in the Marine Waters of North Maluku and North Sulawesi
type: item
description: This research investigates the genetic composition of C. cuning (Bloch, 1791) inhabiting the coastal waters of North Maluku and North Sulawesi through the application of DNA barcoding, utilizing the mitochondrial COI (Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I) gene as a molecular marker. Specimens were obtained from four distinct sampling sites: Ternate, Guraping, Ratatotok, and Manado. DNA was extracted using a commercially available kit, followed by amplification via PCR and sequence analysis using the MEGA X platform. Sequencing results produced a 611 bp fragment of the COI gene, with a nucleotide profile dominated by pyrimidine bases—specifically thymine and cytosine. Genetic similarity between local samples and GenBank references ranged from 99.08% to 100%, indicating a high level of genetic uniformity. Phylogenetic reconstruction showed that populations from the four locations clustered with C. cuning populations from other western Indo-Pacific regions, including East Java, Bali, and the Philippines. These findings support the recognition of C. cuning in the study area as a single, genetically cohesive stock suitable for regionally coordinated conservation and sustainable fishery management. Keywords: C. cuning, COI gene, DNA barcoding, genetic structure, phylogenetic analysis.

Effectiveness of Kunyit (Curcuma domestica) and Temulawak (Curcuma xanthoriza) Additions in Commercial Feeding on the Growth and Life Existence of Mask Fish (Cyprinus carpio)
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of adding turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) flour in commercial feed on the growth and survival of carp (Cyprinus carpio). The study was conducted for 30 days using a completely randomised design (CRD) with four treatments and three replicates. The treatments included commercial feed without additions (control), feed with 25 g turmeric flour/kg, feed with 12 g temulawak flour/kg, and a combination of 25 g turmeric + 12 g temulawak/kg. Parameters observed included absolute weight growth, absolute length gain, feed utilisation efficiency, feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that the treatment with a combination of turmeric and temulawak produced the best growth and feed efficiency compared to other treatments, although statistically did not show significant differences (p> 0.05). The fish survival rate in the combination treatment reached 100%, which is higher than that of other treatments. During the study, water quality remained optimal for carp farming. Thus, adding turmeric and ginger flour can improve feed efficiency and fish survival. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal dose for fish growth.

Effect of Soaking Volume Using Pineapple Peel Waste Vinegar on the Yield, Viscosity, Moisture, and Ash Content of Gelatin from Tuna Bone (Thunnus sp.)
type: item
description: Gelatin is a protein derivative produced from the hydrolysis of collagen and connective tissues in animals. Tuna bones (Thunnus sp.) present a promising alternative due to their high collagen content. A crucial process in gelatin production is demineralization using acid solvents. Pineapple peel vinegar (Ananas comosus), which contains acetic acid, has the potential to serve as an environmentally friendly solvent. This study aims to investigate the effect of varying soaking volumes with pineapple peel vinegar on the yield, viscosity, moisture content, and ash content of gelatin extracted from tuna bones (Thunnus sp.). The pre-extraction of tuna bones was conducted using three treatments, which involved different ratios of vinegar volume (ml) to tuna bone weight (g). The experimental design employed was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments: A1 (1:3), A2 (1:5), and A3 (1:7). The resulting gelatin was analyzed for physical and chemical properties, including yield, viscosity, moisture content, and ash content. The results showed that the lowest yield was 5.78% and the highest was 8.22%, with viscosity ranging from 3.5 cP (lowest) to 9 cP (highest), moisture content from 6.49% (lowest) to 7.36% (highest), and ash content from 0.88% (lowest) to 1.58% (highest). The best treatment for gelatin extraction was identified as treatment A1.

The Effect of Salinity on the Growth of Kappaphycus alvarezii
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effect of different salinities on the growth of K. alvarezii. This seaweed was obtained from Tumbak, Southeast Minahasa Regency—medium sea water for planting media in Malalayang water, Malalayang District, Manado City. The treatments were on salinity 25 ppt for the lower range, and 35 ppt for the higher range. The results showed that at a salinity of 25 ppt, a bacterial colony was obtained, whereas at a salinity of 35 ppt, only a stress condition was observed. The specific growth rate results for salinity levels of 25 and 35 ppt were significantly slower compared to the control treatment. The method used is algae cultivation in controlled containers, and bacterial isolation from seaweed thallus infected with ice-ice was carried out on SWC (Sea Water Complete) agar and TCBS (Thiosulphate Citrate Bile Salt) agar. This suggests that salinity is the key factor in seaweed growth. From the results, we can conclude that at salinities of 25 ppt and 35 ppt, the seaweed growth is not maximal because of bleaching. This condition could be a trigger for the growth of bacteria in lower salinity (25 ppt). Key words: Kappaphycus alvarezii, salinity, bacteria, seaweed.

The importance of density and abundance in the community structure of mangrove ecosystems in the framework of mangrove conservation at Darunu Village
type: item
description: Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial ecological role in maintaining coastal environmental balance, including mitigating climate change, protecting shorelines, and providing habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna. One key aspect of this ecosystem is the community structure of mangroves, which is determined by vegetation density and abundance. These factors influence ecosystem resilience against wave action and storms, carbon storage capacity, sediment stabilization, and biodiversity enhancement. However, many mangrove areas face degradation due to land conversion, pollution, and unsustainable exploitation. This research aims to analyze the relationship between density and abundance in mangrove communities, their ecological functions, and their implications for conservation strategies. The findings are expected to provide scientific insights and recommendations for effective mangrove conservation policies. Keywords: Mangrove ecosystem, community structure, density, abundance, conservation. Abstrak Ekosistem mangrove memiliki peran ekologis yang sangat penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan lingkungan pesisir, termasuk mitigasi perubahan iklim, perlindungan garis pantai, serta sebagai habitat bagi berbagai jenis flora dan fauna.

Effect of Crude Extract of Red Galangal (Alpinia purpurata) on Kidney Histopathology of Gourami (Osphronemus gouramy) infected with Edwardsiella tarda bacteria
type: item
description: Intensification of aquaculture production can disrupt environmental balance, leading to stress in cultured organisms, a weakened immune system, and increased vulnerability to disease. The emergence of diseases in aquaculture systems results from an imbalance in the interaction between the host, environment, and pathogens. One of the common bacterial diseases affecting cultured fish is caused by Edwardsiella tarda. The use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections may lead to chromosomal mutations, highlighting the need for natural alternatives with antibacterial properties, such as red galangal (Alpinia purpurata). Red galangal contains bioactive antibacterial compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids. Histopathological observations were conducted using five treatment doses: (A) 500 mg/L, (B) 525 mg/L, (C) 550 mg/L, (D) 575 mg/L, and (E) 600 mg/L. The results showed that the dose of 550 mg/L had the most significant effect on the kidney histopathology of the fish.

type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the effect of substitution of fish meal with kelomang (Coenobita crevimanus) meal in artificial feed on the growth and survival of saline tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study was conducted using a completely randomised design (CRD) with four treatments of fishmeal substitution dose: A (commercial feed/control), B (75% fishmeal + 25% kelomang flour), C (50% fishmeal + 50% kelomang flour), and D (25% fishmeal + 75% kelomang flour), each with three replicates. Parameters observed included absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, survival rate (SR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency (EP), and water quality during the study. The results showed that the substitution of kelomang flour had no significant effect on absolute length and weight growth (p > 0.05). Still, they had a significant impact on feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed efficiency (p < 0.05), with the best results at 50% substitution. Fish survival rate in all treatments reached 100%, and water quality remained within the optimal range. Substitution of kelomang flour up to 50% has the potential to serve as an alternative protein source in saline tilapia feed without compromising its growth and survival performance.

Sustainable Utilization of the Mangrove Ecosystem in Mantehage Island, Wori District, North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province
type: item
description: Mangrove ecosystems provide essential ecological, economic, and social services, yet they continue to face severe degradation due to coastal development, land conversion, and limited community awareness. This community service project was carried out in a coastal village with significant mangrove potential to promote an integrated and sustainable mangrove-based ecotourism model. The methods applied included socialization and environmental education, community training and empowerment, development of eco-friendly ecotourism infrastructure, and a collaborative multi-stakeholder approach. The results showed an increase in community awareness of mangrove conservation, diversification of local livelihoods through tourism services and mangrove-based products, and the establishment of basic infrastructure such as a 300-meter mangrove boardwalk, information boards, and bird-watching gazebos. Furthermore, a local forum was formed to ensure participatory management involving village authorities, community groups, and external partners. This initiative has demonstrated that integrated mangrove ecotourism development not only enhances environmental conservation but also improves local economic opportunities and strengthens social cohesion.

Plastic Waste Management by Fishermen's Groups in Tateli Satu Village
type: item
description: Tateli Satu Village, Minahasa Regency, is a coastal village connected to Manado Bay. Residents living right along the coastline generally work as fishermen and farmers, with a small number working as civil servants or private sector employees. Their highest level of education is generally junior high or high school, with some only graduating from elementary school. Data and field surveys reveal that community sanitation is still inadequate, as evidenced by an unregulated sewerage system. Furthermore, clean water supplies still rely on wells, whose salinity levels are above the standard for domestic consumption. This reflects a lack of understanding among local residents about the importance of water quality and environmental sanitation. Therefore, community partnership programs are crucial for transferring knowledge and technology through soft approaches such as outreach and awareness campaigns. This program is implemented through the provision or introduction of information on water quality standards set by the government (PP No. 22 of 2021). Furthermore, a simple and easy-to-understand introduction of important water quality parameters has been implemented. Another program that has been transferred to the community includes providing information on the requirements for well construction and the importance of complying with government regulations regarding water management, both clean water for consumption and wastewater for sanitation. Specifically, small groups were formed during the activity to demonstrate how to take concrete action when they detect sources of pollution entering the water or water intended for consumption.

Increasing Seaweed Production in Fishing Communities on the North Minahasa Coast
type: item
description: The partners or target audience for this proposed PKM Program are people who are not yet economically productive but have a strong desire to become entrepreneurs. The partners in question are the fishermen group of Rinondoran Village. The partner group has been cultivating seaweed for almost 10 years, making it suitable for prospective entrepreneurs. A persistent problem with their seaweed cultivation is the inconvenient planting season. The biggest impact on production is crop failure due to pests and diseases, even coinciding with the high wave season. Furthermore, an inconvenient planting season significantly determines the selling price of the harvest at the farmer level, as it is widely known that the price of dried seaweed fluctuates throughout the year. This condition impacts the partners' business management, primarily resulting in financial uncertainty. The solution to this problem lies in timely seaweed cultivation technology. Cultivation must follow the correct and appropriate season. The results of the research conducted include the discovery of a seaweed cultivation model, in this case, a calendar of seaweed planting techniques. The implementation method for this Community Service Program (PKM) activity is coaching and mentoring for the community of Rinondoran Village, East Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency. This coaching and mentoring will address several priority issues: 1) Counseling, 2) Training, 3) Mentoring, and 4) Evaluation. The objectives of this proposed PKM are: 1) Developing economically independent seaweed farmer groups; 2) Improving partner skills to increase seaweed production; 3) Empowering coastal communities based on marine fisheries potential. Community empowerment involves including partners in their roles and aspirations, aligned with the utilization of their natural and human resource potential. Mandatory output targets to be achieved are: 1) Publication in scientific journals with ISSN and in the mass media; 2) Increasing …

Effectiveness of Papaya Leaf Solution Against Ectoparasite Attacks on Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
type: item
description: One of the fisheries sectors that plays a role and meets the protein needs of the community comes from freshwater fisheries. One of the mainstay commodities of freshwater fish is Tilapia because it is very popular with the community and is easy to cultivate. However, the cultivation activities that are growing rapidly among the community are not free from disease attacks, one of which is caused by ectoparasites. So it is necessary to carry out control and treatment using chemicals and natural ingredients. However, the use of chemicals in treatment hurts both the environment and the resistance of the fish's body to chemicals, so it is necessary to use natural ingredients such as Papaya leaves, which are not widely known. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of papaya leaves in treating fish attacked by ectoparasites. This study was conducted from October to December 2024 in North Minahasa, North Sulawesi. The fish used were fish measuring 3-5 cm, and the papaya leaves used were young and fresh papaya leaves. This study also used 4 treatments, namely P1 without immersion (control), P2 (immersion with 10 gr/l), P3 (immersion with 20 gr/l), and P4 (immersion with 30 gr/l). The test fish were immersed in each treatment for 20 minutes. The results of this study showed a decrease in ectoparasite attacks in the P4 treatment. Keywords: Papaya Leaves, Ectoparasites, Soaking.

Study Of the Effect of Ship Ballast Water on Microorganisms and Organisms in The Port of Amurang
type: item
description: Ships are one of the most important modes of sea transportation for cargo and logistics. One vital system on board is the ballast water system, which functions to maintain the ship’s stability and balance during navigation. However, ballasting and deballasting activities can cause serious marine pollution due to the transfer of microorganisms and foreign aquatic species from one region to another. This process disrupts local ecosystems, poses health risks, and affects the coastal economy. Therefore, it is essential to manage ballast water in accordance with the D2 standard of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Ballast Water Management Convention This research was conducted at Amurang Port using the TB. Raymond I vessel to determine the effectiveness of the heating treatment method for ballast water at temperatures above 75°C in reducing the number of microorganisms to meet the D2 standard. Sampling was carried out four times: seawater near the vessel, ballast water before treatment, ballast water after treatment, and seawater near the dock. Laboratory analyses were performed at the Manado Standardization and Industrial Services Center (BSPJI Manado). The results showed that heating ballast water above 75°C effectively reduced the number of microorganisms from 7.1 × 10³ CFU/mL before treatment to <1.0 × 10¹ CFU/mL after treatment, with Coliform levels <1.8 MPN/100 mL, meeting both the IMO D2 standard and the Indonesian Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on seawater quality standards. Thus, the heating treatment method is proven to be effective in minimizing marine pollution caused by ballast water discharge and in supporting the preservation of marine ecosystems at Amurang Port. Keywords: Ballast Water, Ballast Water Treatment, Microorganisms, IMO, Amurang Port, Heating Method.

Grilled Fish Nuggets Made from Mangroves
type: item
description: The purpose of the program is based on the fact that the fruit of the mangrove Sonneratia alba contains very strong antioxidant activity, making it suitable to be substituted into baked fish nuggets, resulting in mangrove-based baked fish nuggets. Research results show that mangrove-based baked fish nuggets contain Isosorbide Dinitrate, which helps clean the heart’s blood vessels so that blood flow to the heart becomes smoother, and stevioside, a natural sweetener that helps reduce diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body weight. This product development can help reduce monotony in fish consumption, fill up free time, and utilize available mangroves. It can also be developed into a home industry that provides added value for families. The methods used include counseling, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The educational session covers: (1) Antioxidants, (2) Functional Foods, and (3) Mangrove-Based Baked Fish Nuggets. The training session involves practicing how to make fish-based products such as nuggets to produce high-quality products. The mentoring stage consists of assisting PKK women in making fish-based products together to avoid mistakes. The evaluation stage is conducted through questionnaires before and after the educational session. The questionnaire content is based on the education and training materials. The evaluation results show that before the PKM program, the educational materials were “poorly” understood by the PKK women. After the PKM program, the materials were understood “well”. Before PKM, the training and mentoring materials on nugget making were understood at a “moderate” level. After PKM, the skills in making fish nuggets were mastered at a “very good” level.

In-Silico Optimization of Macrolactin A from Sponge-Associated Bacteria and Its Derivatives as Eco-Friendly Antifoulants
type: item
description: Marine biofouling causes significant economic and environmental damage creating an urgent demand for eco-friendly antifoulants. This in silico study aimed to evaluate the antifouling efficacy and ecotoxicological profile of macrolactin A (1), previously isolated from Indonesian sponge-associated Bacillus spp., alongside its computationally generated derivatives (1a-1f, 2a–2k) using Biotransformer 3.0. Molecular docking was utilized to assess binding affinities against key protein targets—the bacterial BAM complex, GSK-3 , and acetylcholinesterase (AChE)—and used EPI Suite™ to predict environmental safety. All tested compounds exhibited robust binding affinities ( kcal/mol) against all targets likely binding to allosteric sites. ANOVA revealed significant differences ( ) in binding strength, with derivatives displaying a distinct preference for GSK-3 over AChE and BAM ( ). However, the broad-spectrum affinity across all three targets supports a potential multi-mechanism mode of action. Crucially, most derivatives showed low toxicity and bioaccumulation potential compared to commercial antifoulants such as Irgarol 1501, SeaNine 211, and Selektope®. Notably, analogues 1a-1c and 2e were predicted to be readily biodegradable. This study identified 1a–1c and 2e as leading candidates for eco-friendly antifoulants and provides a strong basis for future experimental development of novel, sustainable marine coating candidates.

Haematological Response of Catfish (Clarias sp.) to Variations in Stocking Density in a Bucket Aquaponics System
type: item
description: Determining the optimum stocking density is a key aspect of intensive catfish farming to maintain fish health and reduce mortality rates. This study aims to evaluate the effect of three stocking densities (20, 30, and 40 fish per bucket) on the hematological profile and mortality of catfish (Clarias sp.) in a bucket-based farming system. The fish were reared for 56 days, and blood samples were taken on days 0, 28, and 56 to measure total white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet count. Mortality was calculated at the end of the rearing period based on the initial number of fish and the number of live fish. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD test (p < 0.05). Results showed that on day 28, densities of 30 and 40 fish triggered a significant increase in WBC and lymphocytes compared to 20 fish, indicating a stress response and non-specific immune activation at high stocking densities. Chronically, SDM, hemoglobin, and some hematocrit values on days 28 and 56 were consistently lower at densities of 30 and 40 fish, while the lowest platelet count was found at a density of 30 fish. Cumulative mortality increased sharply from around 15% at a density of 20 fish to ±42% and ±56% at densities of 30 and 40 fish. The combination of hematology profiles and mortality showed that a density of 20 fish per bucket was the most physiologically and biologically feasible stocking density under the maintenance conditions used in this study.

Characterization of Tea Made from Mangrove Leaves Sonneratia alba
type: item
description: Tea processing techniques are carried out through drying. The drying process is necessary to obtain tea products with a long shelf life. Temperature and time are important parameters in the drying process that can affect the physical (yield) and chemical (antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, moisture content, and ash content) characteristics of tea products during drying. This study aims to characterize tea made from mangrove leaves (Sonneratia alba) using sun drying and oven drying treatments. The methods used in this study were organoleptic tests for hedonic quality (color, taste, aroma), yield, moisture content, and phytochemicals in mangrove leaf tea. The results showed that the drying process significantly affected the yield, moisture content, and organoleptic properties. The organoleptic properties of the tea were as follows: color 5.48–8.44, aroma 6.04–7, taste 5.16–6.12. The oven-dried yield was 2.5%, and the sun-dried yield was 2.66%. The moisture content of oven-dried tea was 9.93% and sun-dried tea was 18.98%. Phytochemicals in oven-dried and sun-dried tea were positively detected as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and polyphenols.
