Information related to osteology plays a vital role in support ecomorphology and phylogenetic relationship analysis in fish. This study aimed to describe the comparative morphology of the vertebral column between Tor tambroides (Bleeker, 1854) and Tor tambra (Valenciennes 1842). Samples of Tor tambroides and Tor tambra were obtained from fish traders in the Tangse River area of Pidie Regency and Sampoinet River area, Aceh Jaya Regency, Aceh Province. Vertebral column preparation consists of five steps: muscles and scales separation, immersion in a formaldehyde solution, drying, morphometric measurements, photographing and image editing, and identification of terminology. The results showed that there are morphological differences between Tor tambroides and Tor tambra vertebral column, particularly in the axial vertebrae, posterior vertebrae caudales, and urostylus regions. The pleural costae of Tor tambroides have a posterior curve with the left and right sides interlocking. The lateral Tor tambroides process tends to curve posteriorly, while the Tor tambra tends to round up parallel to the dorsal costae. Tor tambroides tend to have stronger ligaments marked by the absence of a foramen between the hypural. Morphometrically, Tor tambroides tend to have higher centrum ratios (length, width, and height), neural spine, haemalis spine, and costae compared to Tor tambra. The significant difference in morphometric results in observed the axial vertebrae and the posterior vertebrae caudales region. Further research related to the correlation of vertebral column morphology with the environmental condition of these fish is still necessary.

This study examined twenty six microsatellite primers developed from three cyprinid fishes (Cyprinus carpio, Barbus barbus and Barbonymus gonionotus) in two indigenous mahseer, Tor douronensis and T. tambroides. A total of 10 (38%) and 12 (46%) primers were successfully amplified producing four and five polymorphic loci in T. douronensis and T. tambroides, respectively. The number of alleles per locus ranging from 2 to 5 and 2 to 7 in T. douronensis and T. tambroides, respectively. A significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was observed at three loci (Barb37, Barb59 and Barb62) in one or more populations in T. tambroides while two loci (Barb37 and Barb62) were deviated in T. douronensis population of Batang Ai. Bayesian cluster analysis performed with STRUCTURE showed that the most likely K value identified was K = 2 with no evidence of population substructuring, similar to those identified by the UPGMA dendrogram. The low genetic distances among populations were also supported by low interpopulation genetic differences (FST) among pairwise populations in both mahseer. Overall, the identified microsatellite loci exhibit promise for use in fine scale population structure analysis of T. douronensis and T. tambroides natural populations.

Ammonia is one of the nutrient wastes products which can be toxic to all vertebrates, including fish. Usually, ammonia toxicity is expressed as Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN, mgN/L). Tambra fish (Tor tambroides) is freshwater fish with important economic value in some areas in Indonesia. According to overfishing and forest degradation, the fish has become threatened. This research aimed to calculate the LC50 value of ammonia to Tambra fish (Tor tambroides) and estimate NOEC, LOEC, and MATC values of ammonia to Tambra fish (Tor tambroides). This study was conducted using the static test method with two steps. The first stage is a preliminary test, where the preliminary test is observed for 24 hours With five concentrations excluding control. Whereas in the second stage that is carried out, observation for 96 hours with four concentrations excluding control. The Probit test is Performed to obtain LC50 value results, then proceed with ammonia analysis using the Salicylate Test Kit method. The results showed that ammonia had acute toxicity with LC50-96 hour value of NH4Cl against Tambra fish fry (Tor tambroides) in the amount of 354.615 mg/L. Ammonia caused acute toxicity to Tambra fish fry (Tor tambroides).The LC50-96 hour value was 354.615 mg/L in the form of Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN) or it was equivalent to un-ionized Ammonia (NH3) of 9.8937 mg/L, while values of the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) of ammonia on Tambra fish (Tor tambroides) were 578.24 mg/L and 280.18 mg/L, respectively.

Ikan Tor merupakan genus yang potensi dibudidayakan karena memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi. Masalah yang ada adalah lambatnya pertumbuhan dan rendahnya tingkat sintasan benih ikan tersebut dalam jumlah yang memadai untuk pembudidaya. Hibridisasi atau persilangan merupakan suatu upaya untuk mendapatkan kombinasi antara populasi yang berbeda untuk menghasilkan keturunan yang memiliki sifat unggul. Hibridisasi tiga spesies ikan Tor secara resiprokal antara Tor soro (Ts), Tor douronensis (Td), dan Tor tambroides (Tt) dilakukan guna untuk mengetahui keberhasilan hibridisasi beda spesies tetapi masih dalam genus. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan enam perlakuan dan tiga kali ulangan hasil hibrida. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan nilai derajat pembuahan tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Td >< Ts (93,66 ± 1,15%), daya tetas tertinggi dihasilkan dari persilangan Td >< Ts (88,00 ± 1,00%), laju pertumbuhan spesifik bobot tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Ts >< Td dan Ts >< Tt (5,62 ± 0,17%; 5,44 ± 0,06%), laju pertumbuhan spesifik panjang tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Ts >< Td (1,79 ± 0,11%) dan sintasan tertinggi dihasilkan dari hibridisasi Tt >< Ts (86,00 ± 3,60%). Nilai heterosisyang meliputi derajat pembuahan, daya tetas telur, pertumbuhan benih, dan sintasan ikan sampai umur 41 hari menunjukkan nilai negatif, kecuali laju pertumbuhan spesifik bobot. Hibridisasi berdampak pada meningkatnya jumlah larva abnormal yang dihasilkan dibanding tetuanya (pure breed).Tor fish has the potential to be commercially developed as a farmed fish due to its high economic value and market demand. However, slow growth and low survival rate of the fish larvae and insufficient seed availability for aquaculture farmers are the main bottlenecks to develop a profitable aquaculture for tor fish. Hybridization or crossbreed is an attempt to get a combination between different populations to produce offspring inheriting superior characters. A reciprocal hybridization between Tor soro (Ts), Tor douronensis (Td), and Tor tambroides (Tt) was carried out to assess the success rate of hybridization between the three species. The study used an experimental design with six treatments and three replications to measure and compare hybridization and survival parameters between the species. The highest fertilization rate attained by hybridization Td >< Ts (93.66 ± 1.15%, the highest hatching rate was achieved by Td >< Ts (88.00 ± 1.00%), the highest weight specific growth rate was gained by hybridization Ts >< Td and Ts >< Tt (5.62 ± 0.17%; 5.44 ± 0.06%), the highest lenght specific growth rate was achieved by hybridization Ts >< Td (1.79 ± 0.11%) and highest survival rate was resulted from hybridization between Tor tambroides >< Tor tambroides (90.33 ± 1.52%). The observed heterosis (degree of fertilization rate, hatching rate, growth rate, and survival rate until the age of 41 days) showed that all parameter characters were negative, except for the weight-specific growth rate characters. This study concludes that hybridization have an impact on increasing the number of abnormal larvae produced compared to their parents (pure-breed).

Temperature is an abiotic factor that affects various biological and physiological processes in fish. Temperature stress is known to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that subsequently cause oxidative stress. Fish is known to evolve a system of antioxidant enzymes to reduce ROS toxicology. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family consists of key enzymes that protect fish from oxidative stress. In this study, full-length GPx1 cDNA (GenBank accession no. KY984468) of Tor tambroides was cloned and characterized by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The 899-base-pair (bp) GPx1 cDNA includes a 576-bp open reading frame encoding for 191 amino acids, plus 28 bp of 5′-untranslated region (UTR) and 295 bp of 3′-UTR. Homology analysis revealed that GPx1 of T tambroides (Tor-GPx1) shared high similarity with GPx1 sequences of other fish species. The phylogenetic construction based on the amino acid sequence showed that Tor-GPx1 formed a clade with GPx1 sequences of various fish species. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to assess the levels of GPx1 gene expression in the liver and muscle of T tambroides under thermal stress. The results indicated that GPx1 gene expression was down-regulated under decreased temperature. However, there was no significant difference between GPx1 gene expression in fish exposed to high temperature and control. Our study provides the first data regarding GPx gene expression in T tambroides under thermal stress.

The reproductive characteristics of mahseer, Tor. tambroides, were studied in Manna River and Batang Tarusan River, which are located on each side of Western Sumatera River. The reproductive period of T. tambroides is largely consistent with that described for the species in other areas, however monthly variations in the extent and timing of peak spawning are recorded. The analysis of the sex ratio indicates an increase in the percentage of females with size, more marked in largest sizes. Seasonal patterns in the occurrences of spawning showed that the spawning season in Manna River lasted was similar with that in Batang Tarusan River, although a second prominent increase of GSI was observed in April and September in Manna River, meanwhile the GSI of Batang Tarusan River fish were below 2 without an apparent variation. L50s of Manna River and Batang Tarusan River mahseer were estimated as 24.5 cm and 20.66 cm, respectively, indicating a high variability in size at first maturity of the mahseer population. Our study provides some important information on the reproductive biology of T. tambroides that will be helpful in similar studies and contributed to fisheries management of this species.
