Max R. Wenno1)* Martha L. Wattimena1) Zulfikar A. Rumakey1) Johanna L. Thenu2) 1)Departement of Aquatic Product Technology, Faculty of Fishery and Marine Science, Pattimura University, Ambon. 2)Fishery Education and Trainning Center, Ambon ABSTRACT Seaweed (algae) is one of the potential export commodity to be developed. Kinds of seaweed that has a high economic value include: Rhodophyceae (red algae) as a produce of agar and carrageenan, Phaeophyceae (brown algae) as a produce of alginates. Seaweed potential of 1.2 million hectares, the potential production of dried seaweed on average 16 tons every year, however, seaweed explored just about two percent. This fact indicated that seaweed is one commodity that have the opportunity to developed, both in terms of aquaculture, biotechnology and processing. The aimed of this study was to determine the kinds of seaweed and the best ratio of filtrate and water, based on a physical test and determine the chemical composition of nata de seaweed. Keywords : Eucheuma cottonii, Gracilaria sp., nata de seaweed, physic and chemical characteristics INTRODUCTION Commercial seaweed that have high economic value in Indonesia are grouped into five there are Eucheuma, Hypnea, Gracilaria, Gelidium, and Sargassum (Anggadiredja et al. 2010). The large quantities in Moluccas is Eucheuma, Gracilaria and Hypnea usually used by local people for consumption as food, besides used for export commodity (Sutomo 2006 in Siahaya 2011). Low utilization of seaweed is one of the opportunities for the development of product diversification for example Nata de seaweed product.

High infestation was reported in Miri, Mukah and Sibu. Censuses on the infestation of T. rufivena were conducted at three different locations, i.e. in Miri (young palm), Mukah (mature palm) and Sibu (ablation samples). Samples for census were taken from infested bunches, female and male inflorescences. The census was done by chopping the bunches and the female inflorescences while for the male inflorescences, the bottom of spikelets were cut to determine the number of live larvae and pupae. The census 44 Serangga reveiled that in Sibu, a high infestation of T. rufivena was found on male inflorescences compared to bunches of female inflorescences. The mean number of live larvae found in male inflorescences for the first and second day of census recorded 35.3 ± 15.7 and 14.0 ± 7.3, respectively. The highest number of live larvae recorded from male inflorescences was 207 and 65, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean number of live larvae from infested bunches and female inflorescences on the first day were 9.9 ± 3.5 and 19.4 ± 4.4, respectively.

  • Emerging and Re-Emerging Biotic Stresses of Agricultural Crops in India and Novel Tools for Their Better Management
    GENERAL ARTICLES Emerging and re-emerging biotic stresses of agricultural crops in India and novel tools for their better management J. Kumar*, R. K. Murali-Baskaran, S. K. Jain, P. N. Sivalingam, J. Mallikarjuna, Vinay Kumar, K. C. Sharma, J. Sridhar, P. Mooventhan, A. Dixit and P. K. Ghosh Food security of our country is at risk due to heavy yield losses of agricultural crops caused by pests and diseases known together as biotic stresses. Conventional management practices in vogue are not competent under the current situations obscured by the incitants of biotic stresses which have either enhanced their offensive capabilities due to adaptive mutations or regained their patho- genic/herbivory potential owing to climate change. Numerous causal agents of biotic stresses are also introduced in the country or new regions of the country either through natural dispersal as invasive species, or on account of quarantine irregularities at national or international levels. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to appraise the impact of these new biotic stresses burgeoned in the recent past and to develop novel technologies for their management. To devise an effective preventive and eradicative strategy for containing these biotic stresses, new research innovations need to be practiced such as deciphering basic/molecular mechanism of host-pathogen/insect inte- ractions; endophytic mechanisms of plant protection; nanotechnology in pest management; host resistance strengthening by gene cloning, recombinant DNA technologies, RNA biology, utilizing gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, etc. This article presents a comprehensive account of new biotic stresses of agricultural crops built up in the country and also reviews the novel scien- tific inventions made worldwide which can be further employed to devise more efficient methods for alleviating impact of these biotic stresses of food crops in the country.

  • Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas
    Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO) March 2015 Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Eiichiro Nakama, Seiichi Ohta, Yasuo Ohsumi, Tokunori Mori and Satohiko Sasaki Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center Fakhrur Razie, Hamdani Fauzi and Mahrus Aryadi Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center March 2015 Foreword During the past decades, deforestation and forest degradation continues especially in developing countries. According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.

  • Biologically Active Compounds in Seaweed Extracts Useful in Animal Diet
    20 The Open Conference Proceedings Journal, 2012, 3, (Suppl 1-M4) 20-28 Open Access Biologically Active Compounds in Seaweed Extracts - the Prospects for the Application Katarzyna Chojnacka*, Agnieszka Saeid, Zuzanna Witkowska and Łukasz Tuhy Institute of Inorganic Technology and Mineral Fertilizers, Wroclaw University of Technology ul. Smoluchowskiego 25, 50-372 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract: The paper covers the latest developments in research on the utilitarian properties of algal extracts. Their appli- cation as the components of pharmaceuticals, feeds for animals and fertilizers was discussed. The classes of various bio- logically active compounds were characterized in terms of their role and the mechanism of action in an organism of hu- man, animal and plant. Recently, many papers have been published which discuss the methods of manufacture and the composition of algal ex- tracts. The general conclusion is that the composition of extracts strongly depends on the raw material (geographical loca- tion of harvested algae and algal species) as well as on the extraction method. The biologically active compounds which are transferred from the biomass of algae to the liquid phase include polysaccharides, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty ac- ids, pigments, polyphenols, minerals, plant growth hormones and other. They have well documented beneficial effect on humans, animals and plants, mainly by protection of an organism from biotic and abiotic stress (antibacterial activity, scavenging of free radicals, host defense activity etc.) and can be valuable components of pharmaceuticals, feed additives and fertilizers. Keywords: Algal extracts, feed additives, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, biologically active compounds. 1. INTRODUCTION was paid to biologically active compounds, useful as the components of pharmaceuticals, feeds and fertilizers.
