    Omni-Akuatika, 13 (1): 54–59, 2017 ISSN: 1858-3873 print / 2476-9347 online Research Article Model of Profit Maximization of the Giant Gourami (Osphronemus goramy) Culture Dian Wijayanto1*), Faik Kurohman1, Ristiawan Agung Nugroho1 1Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan Universitas Diponegoro *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received 7 November 2016; Accepted 16 April 2017; Available online 31 May 2017 ABSTRACT This research’ objective is to develop a model of profit maximization that can be applied to the giant gourami culture. The development of fish growth model uses polynomial growth function. Profit maximization process uses the first derivative of profit equation to culture time equal to zero. This research develop the equations to estimate the culture time to reach the size target of cultured fish. This research model can be applied in the giant gouramy culture. The giant gouramy culture can produce the maximum profit at 324 days with profit of IDR. 7.847.700 per culture cycle. To achieve size target of 500 g per fish, it needs 135 days of culture time. Keywords: bioeconomy, profit maximization, the giant gouramy 1. Introduction (1992), Springborn et al. (1992), Heap (1993), Strand and Mistiaen (1999), and Wijayanto The giant gouramy (Osphronemus (2014).

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

  • Cephalophus Natalensis – Natal Red Duiker
    Cephalophus natalensis – Natal Red Duiker listed two subspecies, including C. n. natalensis from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), eastern Mpumalanga and southern Mozambique, and C. n. robertsi Rothschild 1906 from Mozambique and the regions north of the Limpopo River (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). Assessment Rationale This species is restricted to forest patches within northeastern South Africa and Swaziland. They can occur at densities as high as 1 individual / ha. In KZN, there are an estimated 3,046–4,210 individuals in protected areas alone, with the largest subpopulation of 1,666–2,150 Sam Williams individuals occurring in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (2012– 2014 counts; Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife unpubl. data). This Regional Red List status (2016) Near Threatened subpopulation is inferred to have remained stable or B2ab(ii,v)* increased over three generations (2000–2015), as the previous assessment (2004, using count data from 2002) National Red List status (2004) Least Concern estimated subpopulation size as 1,000 animals. While no Reasons for change Non-genuine change: other provincial subpopulation estimates are available, New information they are regularly recorded on camera traps in the Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo and the Mariepskop Global Red List status (2016) Least Concern forests of Mpumalanga, including on private lands outside protected areas (S. Williams unpubl. data). TOPS listing (NEMBA) None Reintroductions are probably a successful conservation CITES listing None intervention for this species. For example, reintroduced individuals from the 1980/90s are still present in areas of Endemic No southern KZN and are slowly moving into adjacent *Watch-list Data farmlands (Y. Ehlers-Smith unpubl. data). The estimated area of occupancy, using remaining (2013/14 land cover) Although standing only about 0.45 m high forest patches within the extent of occurrence, is 1,800 (Bowland 1997), the Natal Red Duiker has km2.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

    C/O The Chairman 14 Edgecliffe Park 14 Bartle Road GILLITS 3610 http://durbanramblers.co.za [email protected] Banking Details: Nedbank Musgrave Account No 1138655228 Branch Code 1301 2600 THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF THE DURBAN RAMBLERS HIKING CLUB TH 4 QUARTER: OCTOBER TO DECEMBER - 2019 CHAIRMAN’S RAMBLINGS Hiking is a wonderful activity, as it helps rejuvenate our body and compliments general fitness. This brings me to the controversial topic of walking /hiking with the aid of a walking stick or hiking poles. A lot of folk say it is not necessary, but at times using a walking stick makes sense. Let us look at walking sticks vs. hiking poles. Walking sticks are used individually, usually made from wood, decorated in some fashion showing its origin. Best used on flat terrain, but it is also good for support on uneven terrain, crossing water and when ascending or descending hills. The disadvantage is that one tends to overly lean to one side, which may cause a stumble or fall on terrain that is not flat. So, when using a walking stick, use it with the least amount of load on it. Hiking poles are usually designed in pairs, but can be used as a single pole. They have adjustable length and can be altered depending on the terrain. They usually have straps, but can be hazardous when falling- best not to use the straps. Hiking poles take pressure off the knees during steep descents, give extra security and grip. Because of their adjustability, for ascents length is reduced, for descents they can be lengthened.

    EENY-494 Terrestrial Slugs of Florida (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora)1 John L. Capinera2 Introduction Florida has only a few terrestrial slug species that are native (indigenous), but some non-native (nonindigenous) species have successfully established here. Many interceptions of slugs are made by quarantine inspectors (Robinson 1999), including species not yet found in the United States or restricted to areas of North America other than Florida. In addition to the many potential invasive slugs originating in temperate climates such as Europe, the traditional source of invasive molluscs for the US, Florida is also quite susceptible to invasion by slugs from warmer climates. Indeed, most of the invaders that have established here are warm-weather or tropical species. Following is a discus- sion of the situation in Florida, including problems with Figure 1.

When closed, the pore can be difficult to locate. slug identification and taxonomy, as well as the behavior, Note that there are two pairs of tentacles, with the larger, upper pair ecology, and management of slugs. bearing visual organs.

Slugs also reduce water loss by opening their internal shell and a few have a greatly reduced external breathing pore (pneumostome) only periodically instead of shell). The slug life-form (with a reduced or invisible shell) having it open continuously. Slugs produce mucus (slime), has evolved a number of times in different snail families, which allows them to adhere to the substrate and provides but this shell-free body form has imparted similar behavior some protection against abrasion, but some mucus also and physiology in all species of slugs.
