(Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2009) Mohd Fakrul Radzi Bemawi
The study of soft-shell crab production culture technology was carried out in the marine hatchery University Malaysia Terengganu. The study was to determine the best temperature, photo period and salinity factors used to produced the soft-shell crab using mud crab (S. olivacea). The culturing was carried out in the culture tank with different set of salinity, photo period and temperature combinations. The size of the crabs, days of moulting and survival rate had been recorded. The statistical analysis that had been used in the study was using descriptive, One-Way ANOV A and the correlation in the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) program. The experiment had show a succession in the production of soft-shell crabs using the mud crab. The result showed that there was no significant different between the six culturing tank due to the P-value higher than the significant level 0.05. Result also showing no significant different between the different set of salinity and photo period. Comparison had done to show the interaction with the survival of crabs. The Tank no.3, 4 and 5 culturing condition can be used as the reference for future study. The removing the pincer and walking legs also contribute to the succession of the soft-shell crabs production.
Adult artemia as life feed for african catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings
(Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2009) Mohamed Alif Noor Azme
This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness using adult Artemia as live feed for African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerling based on the growth and survival rate of fish. This experiment was conducted for 5 weeks and there are three diets for each group of fish that are (1) live adult Artemia; (2) live adult Artemia and pallet; (3) a commercial starter pellet. There have 3 replicate for each group and each replicate have 18 fish. Every week 10 fish was weighing by randomly for each replicate. Fish was feed 10% of their body weight and every weeks feed gives to fish was adjusted. In the end experiment Artemia and pellet that used in this experiment was make protein analysis approximation to know their protein content. From the proximate analysis show that adult Artemia have 14% of protein composition while pellet have 34% of protein composition. From this experiment adult Artemia as diet show lowest growth rate compare to combination adult Artemia and pellet as diets and using pallet as diets. This result was due to low protein content in adult Artemia compare to pallet. For FCR value, Artemia show highest FCR value for first weeks of experiment. This was due to failure of fish to recognized adult Artemia as their feeds because of transparent colour of adult Artemia and their movement is too fast. That also explains why there a high mortality in adult Artemia treatment. Adult Artemia as diet shows the highest mortality rate that is 22.2%, while combination both adult Artemia and pellet as diet shows 14.81 % of mortality rate and pellet as diet shows the lowest mortality rate that is, 5.56%. For the next weeks of experiment there are decreases of FCR value for adult Artemia. It means fish start to recognize adult Artemia as their feeds. The study had show that adult Artemia not improve the grow rate of African catfish furthermore pellet as diet had a better growth rate and survival rate than using adult Artemia. This is because the different level of nutritive value especially protein content.
Aethiology studies of Fusarium spp. associated with necrotic spot disease of dragon fruit (Hylocereus ployrhizus) and the postharvest treatment studies on sanitation and storage
(Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2009) Nur Azlin Azhari
This study was conducted to identify the causal organism of necrotic spot disease on Hylocereus polyrhizus and determine the effect of sanitation treatment and storage temperature on fruit physiological and microbial changes. The fruit with necrotic spot had been collected from Johor, Malacca and Terengganu. Thirty-two of Fusarium species were isolated from the symptom with 40.63% of F. solani, 28.13% of F. proliferatum, 21.88% of F. semitectum and 9.38% of F. oxysporum. Only F. solani and F. proliferatum were confirmed pathogenic after inoculation with disease severity index (DSI) varied from 0.11 to 4.67 for F. solani and 0.11 to 3.69 for F. pro/iferatum. Thus, F. solani are more pathogenic compare to F. proliferatum. The sanitation treatment and storage temperature were involved in physiological and microbial changes of the fruit. For sanitation treatment, sodium hypochlorite treatment and distilled water treatment showed no significance differences (p>0.05) for chemical and physical aspects compare to unwashed fruits. While for the microbial infection, sodium hypochlorite 200ppm can reduce the microbial growth and act as a good sanitizing agent compare to distilled water and unwashed. The storage temperature also can prolong the shelf-life of dragonfruit. Fruit stored at room temperature can maintain the freshness for 6 days but result showed that it can be extended until 14 days for 14 °C and 21 days for 6 ° C.

Analisis gelagat perbelanjaan isi rumah akibat daripada perubahan struktur ekonomi di Malaysia
(Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2009) Mohd Faizal Awab
Perbelanjaan isi rumah memainkan peranan penting dalam menggerakkan ekonomi di dalam negara. Perbelanjaan ke atas barang-barang dan perkhidmatan akan meningkatkan lagi keluaran dalam negara seterusnya meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Menurut Stephen (2001), isi rumah bertindakbalas dengan situasi ekonomi semasa dengan mengubah kategori khusus dalam perbelanjaannya dimana perubahan struktur perbelanjaan mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan perubahan struktur ekonomi semasa. Walton dan Manuelyen (1998) mengatakan bahawa proses memahami situasi ek:onoiiii bagi isi rumah dapat dilihat melaltii tingk:at petbelanjaan bagi isi rumah dalam sesebuah negara dimana terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat perbelanjaan dan petumbuhan ekonomi semasa. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dljalankan bagi melthat sejauhmana perubahan struktur pertumbuhan ekonomi mampu mempengaruhi perbelanjaan ke atas penggunaan semasa isi rumah di Malaysia. Pengukuran dibuat melalui pengumpulan data sekunder daripada jumlah penggunaan di Malaysia mengikut tahun dan pengumpulan data primer bagi melihat corak perbelanjaan semasa isi rumah di Malaysia. Analisis data sekunder adalah dengan menggunakan perisian eviews 5 manakala data primer hanya di analisis melalui kaedah analisis diskriptif. Dapatan kajian telah menunjukan bahawa perbelanjaan isi rumah sememangnya dipengaruhi oleh perubahan struktur ekonomi lebih-lebih lagi yang melibatkan perubahan pembolehubah makroekonomi seperti keluaran dalam negara, pendapatan per kapita dan juga kadar inflasi dalam sesebuah negara.
