of Pemalang Regency, Central Java
Erny Poedjirahajoe
Forest Faculty of Gadjah Mada University, lndonesia
ABSTRACT
Silvofishery is a very effective alternative to make use of mangroves.
it is necessary to find out the profttable mangrove rehabilitation
planting year and silvofishery paftems so that it will provide optimal results on

Therefore,

silvofishery sustainability. This research aims to lind out the pattern of
silvofishery and lhe mangrove planting year which can increase embankment
fishery production, and afterwards land compatibility classification for
silvofi shery is formulated.

The research was conducted by initially determining silvofishery
mangrcve areas using embankment type and dam type with the same planting
year and width. And then a plot in the form of basket with crabs (of similar
weight) in it was placed in the embankmenUdam in each planting year. Besides
that, in each area. vegetation parameters consisting of density, height and the
width of plant roots were measured. Afterthat. ihe habitat ecological conditions

consisting of rnud lhic*ness, N, O, K. organic substance, DO, salinity,
temperature and biological aspects (plankton) were measured. The optimal
fishery results could be approached by weighing the crabs when they were a 0
day old, 10 days old and 20 days old.
The results of this research show that the heaviest 0 day old crab was
found in planting year 2001 on dam type. lt was 117.0 grams while the lightest
crab was found in planting ye,ar 2OO2 on dam type, it was 112.56 grams. The
heaviest 10 days old crab was found in planting year 2001 on embankment
Spe. lt was 156.81 grams while the fuhtest crab was found in planting year
2000 on dam type and it tnas 130.23 grams. At 20 days old, the heaviest crab
was found ln planting year 2001 on embankment type, which was 207.62 grams
while the ligrhtest oab rras found in planting year 20@ dam type. The most
optimal silvofishery pattern was snbankrnent {pe in planting year 2001. This
pattem had the highest vegetation density, it was 17.25125 m2 or 6880/ha with
the heaviest crab which was 207.62 grams/crab.

INTRODUCTION

Bac.kground

The success of rehabilitating mangroves on the North Shore of Pemalang,
Central Java has recovered the functions of the original ecosystem. The
function of mangroves as a nursery ground is very appropriate for raising fish
(silvofishery). Silvofishery in the North Shore of Pemalang Regency was
developed in 1990. At that time, shrimp which was an export commodity has
been ulidely raised. The spread of silvofishery uras expected to be able to
conserve maRgroves on the North Shore of Pemalang, Central Java.

Picture 2: Embankment Silvofishery in Mangrove Area
on the North Shore of Brebes, Central Java
The dam type was developed first because at that time many people had built
embankments behind mangroves. The embankment type locates the area to
raise fish in channels (ditch/trench) between mangrove populations. The
advantage of this type is the availability of sufficient organic elements and
detritus for the fish. Besides that, the cost is cheaper. Meanwhile, the dam type
separates the area to raise fish from mangrove woods but they are still located
nearby/side-by-side to one another so that the frsh still receive organic elements
from mangrove woods. The ratio of mangrove and the embankmenl applied by
Perhutani (lndonesian State Forest Corporation) is 80%:20%. Subsequentty,
after silvofishery provides extra income, many embankment fishermen intervene
in mangrove areas to broaden their embankments. Consequently, the ratio has

changed,

in which

mangrove area

is

lower.

A

research conducted by

Poedjirahajoe (1998) on the North Shore of Brebes Regency concluded that the
varieiy of sea biota increases more on embankment type compared to that of on
dam type. The discussion section mentions ihat on the embankment type the
existing sea biota is not cleaned so the pet fish promotes the presence of
several water biotas. Meanwhile, on dam type, the existing sea biota is cleaned

so there are not many varieties of water biota. The high variety of biota
indicates better ecosystem stability.

RESEARCHMETHOD

Research Location

This research was conducted in the mangrove rehabilitation area on the
North Shore of Pemalang Regency with a width of approximately 3500 ha. This
research used planting years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The selection of the
planting years was based on plant suitability for silvofishery (Poedjirahajoe,
2003).
Research Tools and Mateials

Tools used in this research are:
1 X 0.5 metre floating basket, amounting to 8 X 2 = 16 baskets
10 grams, 1 kg and 10 kg hanging scale
Plastic bucket
Tally sheet data research

Research Vadable and Parameter

This research used 2 variables, i.e. the planting year and silvofishery
pattern. Meanwhile, the daily observation period is used as the treatment. The
rneasured parameters were the weight of pet crabs and silvofishery habitat,
physical, chemical and biological aspects.

Determining 2 resembling embankment patterns, i.e. dam type and
embankment type in planting year 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Placing open baskets systematically in every planting year and on
each embankment type with upper door sized 1 x 0.5 metre. 8 Baskets
are placed in repetition.

Each basket is filled with 1 crab which has been weighted as the

preliminary weight.
bvery daythe ciabs are fed with real or imitation food of t 0.5 ounce of
food for each basket.
On the first two days, the dead crabs are replaced with the new ones'
Weighing the crabl by opening the upper door of the basket and then
the irab;s body/pincer is hooked to the hanging scale hook and the
crab's weight ii directly observed. After the weighing, the crab is put
back into ihe basket until the next observation, the 10'day and the
2oth day.

ResulfsAna/ysis

The collected data was tabulated and separated based on the variable,
treatment and parameter. The 8 baskets in one silvofishery pattern and planting

year were considered as repetition thus the average of the results was
ialculated. The mangrove planting year was considered as replication. The
embankment type was called Level I (Split), and the observation period was
considered as-ihe treatment (plot) consisting of day 0, day 10 and day 20.
Therefore, it would generate 3 x 2 x 3 observation units. The split-plot model
formulation used was:

The highest average of crab weight was 158.81 grams in planting year 2001 on
embankment type (table 2). The lowest average was 130.75 grams in planling
year 2002 on dam type. The highest increase of average weight occurred in
planting year 2001 on embankment type which reached 46.19 grams. The
lowest increase of average weight occuned in planiing year 2000 on dam type
which was 15.61 grams. This result is supported by variant tests which shwv
that there were signiftcant differences on each trealment, i.e. in mangrove
planting year and on embankment pattems. Ecologically the difference is
caused by sunshade available on the embankment type which is not present on
the dam type. Sunshade is very important to control ihe heat of crabs' body
whicfi results in better digestion and metabolism. Therefore, on the
embankmeni type there were rnore signiffcant changes on crab weights
compared to that of on the dam type. Further analysis using the Duncan test
shows that there was significant difference in mangrove planting year 2001 on
the embankment type compared to ihat of on other treatments. The results of
this research also shows significant crab weight in planting year 2001 on
embankment type compared to ttrat of in other planting years and on other
embankment paiterns. Alihough the weighed crab$ lvere 10 days old uthile the

harvest time was on the 20th day, it could be predicted that the increase of crab

weight on the 20th day would be constant or even higher, esp-ecially

in

mangrove planting year 2001 on the embankment type. The results of weighing
crabs on day 20 can be observed in the following table:

The highest average of crab weight was in planting year 200-1 ori. embankment

riA.aO in ptanting year 2000 on darn type. The highest increase. of average
weight w.i touni'iir planting year 2001 on embankment type which reached
+S.51 grams and the second highest increase was in planting year-2002 on
embanlment type Which reached48.31 grams. The lowest increase of average
weight was in bianting year 2000 on dam type whictr was 18.13 gr?ms. lt tums
outihat rareighi increise in each planting year and on each silvofishery qatteln
were almosi similar. Therefore, treatrnLnt with the highest average of crab
weight was still mangrove planting year 2001 on embankment type. The variant
tesfshows that all feaments gave significant results towards crab weight on
test level 5o/o. Further tests (Duncan inatysis) shou that the maximum crab
weight
was found in planting year 2001 on embankment type.
