TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to obtain information about people's perceptions about Cempedik Fish from the citizen and related business actors in Gantung District, Belitung Timur Regency.
Abstract: Osteochilus spilurus, which has been known to be of minimal use, is an important economical fish in East Belitung. Public perceptions related to consumption and understanding of these fish need to be known as the community's point of view in utilization and management. This study was conducted to obtain information about people’s perceptions about Cempedik Fish from the citizen and related business actors in Gantung District. Information and data collection techniques in this study were carried out with three kinds of methods, namely, interviews, observation, and discussion. Public perception of Gantung District, Belitung Timur Regency towards Cempedik Fish shows that more than 79% of respondents recognize and consume these fish with the majority of consumption obtained from trade. Season and methods of catching Cempedik fish are understood to be more than 65% of respondents. Most of them assume that the size and number of fish are not changing. But they hope protection and cultivation for the continuity of production. The limited availability of Cempedik Fish products outside the rainy season is a potential for its development as an aquaculture commodity for meeting market demands and the sustainability of populations in their natural habitats.
TL;DR: The results suggested that individuals from both islands are clustered together with a strong bootstrap value (100%) in a monophyletic clade, which can be used as a sequence reference and basic information for conservation of this species.
Abstract: . Kurniawan A, Hariati AM, Kurniawan A, Wiadnya DGR. 2021. First genetic record and the phylogenetic relationship of Osteochilus spilurus (Cyprinidae: Labeoninae) originating from Bangka and Belitung Islands, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 794-802. Osteochilus spilurus is a freshwater fish from Southeast Asia. Species identification for this fish in Indonesia is still solely limited to morphological characteristics. Therefore it is highly important to validate using short DNA sequences that have been proven to be fast, effective, and accurate. Fish specimens were collected from Lenggang river in Belitung island, and Lebak river in Bangka island, Indonesia. Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b, 408 bp) was amplified and sequenced. We collected fish specimens from Lenggang River in Belitung Island and Lebak River in Bangka Island, Indonesia. The results suggested that individuals from both islands are clustered together with a strong bootstrap value (100%) in a monophyletic clade. The specimens deposited at NCBI as the first Indonesian genetic records. They have a sister lineage to individuals from Sabah, Malaysia, although supported by a low bootstrap value. While geographical connection during the Pleistocene period allowed wide distribution of the species, differences in the evolutionary processes of historical biogeography and environmental changes are the predicted cause of the low genetic similarity. These findings can be used as a sequence reference and basic information for conservation of this species.
TL;DR: Fahmi et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a study to analyze the potential of ornamental fish in peatlands forests and the peatland that has been converted to industrial land, which showed that fish in the core zone was most diverse compared with other zones.
Abstract: Fahmi M, Ginanjar R, Kusumah RV. 2015. Diversity of ornamental fish in peatlands Biosphere Reserve Bukit-Batu, Riau Province. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1 (1): 51-58. The peatlands are a marginal land which nowadays in a threatened status, because of degradation habitat and land conversion. This study was conducted to analyze the potential of ornamental fish in the peatlands forests and the peatland that has been converted to industrial land. The study was conducted by using sampling fish methods in the transition zone, buffer zone, and core zone and also by interviews with fishermen in these locations. Fish that have been collected subsequently identified and analyzed for their potential as an ornamental fish. The results showed that fish in the core zone was most diverse compared with other zones. There are 21 species which was identified have potential as an ornamental fish; Pangio kuhlii, Rasbora maculata, Rasbora doriocellata, Rasbora gracilis, Rasbora pauciferforata, Puntius pentazona, Puntius hexazona, Chaca bankanensis, Silurichthys hasselti, Silurichthys phaiosoma, Kryptoterus macrocephalus, Pelteobagus ornatus, Hemiramphorodon, Leiocassis porcilopterus, Mystus bimaculatus, Luciocephalus pulcer, Crossochelius oblongus, Osteochilus spilurus, Sphairichthys ospronemodes, Belontia haselty, while Helostoma temminckii, Channa pleurophthalamus, Channa striata was identified as the consumsion fish.
TL;DR: The researcher can use water circulation in the next level of Osteochilus spilurus domestication using recirculation of water in an artificial container to pass the first level of the domestication process.
Abstract: Osteochilus spilurus is one of freshwater fish in the river of Bangka and Belitung Island. This fish became an important economically fish in East Belitung. The problem of Osteochilus spilurusis is the season of fishing and trading which may contribute to reduce its natural population. Nowadays, Osteochilus spilurus is still at the first level of domestication. Adaptation using recirculation of water in an artificial container needs to test to pass the first level of the domestication process. Different debit of water recirculation affects survival rate but does not at the growth of Osteochilus spilurus. The best treatment was with water debit of 0.11 liters/minute, resulted in a survival rate of 88.33 ± 0.03%, length growth of 0.31 ± 0.06 cm and weight growth of 0.93 ± 0.04 g for 30 days of cultivation. Aggressiveness and sensitivity of Osteochilus spilurus decrease after 7 days of cultivation. The researcher can use water circulation in the next level of Osteochilus spilurus domestication.
TL;DR: They have a body characteristic of the silvery color, several small pores at the cone-snout, the dorsal height gradually increases, forged shape caudal fin, a pair of barbels above and below the mouth, and a large black dot at the caudAL peduncle.
Abstract: Osteochilus spilurus (Bleeker, 1851) as the accepted name has several synonyms: Dangila spilurus (Bleeker, 1851), Rohita oligolepis (Bleeker, 1853), Osteochilus oligolepis (Bleeker, 1853), Osteochilus oligolepsis (Bleeker, 1853), and Osteochilus spilurus (Bleeker, 1851). They have a body characteristic of the silvery color, several small pores at the cone-snout, the dorsal height gradually increases, forged shape caudal fin, a pair of barbels above and below the mouth, and a large black dot at the caudal peduncle. The lateral line consists of 28-30 stripped scales with 41⁄2 scale above and ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: July 16, 2020 Accepted: Dec. 26, 2020 Online: Dec. 31, 2020 _______________
