ABSTRACT
The existence of feed plays an important role in aquaculture activities. This is due to the dominant influence on fish feed growth. Feeding with the right nutritional components can produce healthy and high-quality fish products. One of the nutrients needed by fish is fatty acids. In fact, the provision of fatty acids, one of which is not in the meat, has an important influence. So, this study aims to determine the effect of adding cod liver oil to commercial feed on the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids to the meat of giant prawn. This research was conducted experimentally with a completely randomized design. The treatment is given a dose of cod liver oil 0% (control), and treatments 1 -4 use 3% dose addition to each treatment. On the other hand, in the data analysis stage, the researchers used ANOVA and continued with the Duncan's test. Based on the results, the study notes that the administration of cod liver oil in commercial feed does not affect the decreasing content of saturated fatty acids in giant prawn meat. On the other hand, the results also showed that the best ratio was found in treatment 4 at a dose of 12%. Therefore, it is concluded that the provision of nutrients for feed related to fatty acids in the pole has not reduced the content of saturated fatty acids. As well as, the best ratio of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids was 1.21:1 with cholesterol content of 88.34 mg/dl and this ration resulted by the greatest growth rate in present study.
Key words: Cod liver oil, Feed, Giant prawn, Saturated fatty acids INTRODUCTION
Prawn in Indonesia is produced from the results of capture and cultivation, and Giant prawn cultivation has developed quite rapidly in the country. In this regard, it can be seen that the production of giant prawns in 2013 reached 3.171 tons (Indonesia report, 2013).
In overall, feed plays an important role in aquaculture activities because it serves a dominant role on fish growth in term of economic (Melianawati and Suwirya, 2010). Feeding with the right nutritional components can produce healthy and high-quality fish products. One of the nutrients needed by fish is fatty acids (Pangkey, 2011). Fatty acids are collected into two types, based on the degree of saturation; namely saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (Bragagnolo and Rodriguez-Amaya, 2001; Venugopal and Gopakumar, 2017; Allen et al., 2019). Saturated fatty acids do not affect oxidation and free radical formation as do unsaturated fatty acids. The dominant effect of saturated fatty acids is an increase in total cholesterol and LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol (Sartika, 2008). On the other hand, it is known that giant prawns have 35% saturated fatty acid levels and 139 mg/100g cholesterol levels which was higher than sea shrimp (Bragagnolo and Rodriguez-Amaya, 2001; Venugopal and Gopakumar, 2017; Allen et al., 2019). The lack of unsaturated fatty acids will cause disruption in fish health including reduced fecundity, ability to form embryos and abnormal growth (Pangkey, 2011; de Carvalho and Caramujo, 2018).
Fat does indeed play an important role in increasing growth rate in aquacultures (Stoneham et al., 2018). Meanwhile, the percentage of saturated fatty acids can be reduced by adding essential fatty acids (Stoneham et al., 2018). Essential fatty acids include unsaturated fatty acids that have a double-bond that cannot be synthesized in the body of animal, so it needs to be intake through feed (Meliandasari et al., 2016). In fact, cod liver oil can be supplemented to increase the content of unsaturated fatty acids in diet (Turchini et al., 2009). It is known that unsaturated fatty acids are divided into 2 namely monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). MUFA has one double carbon bond, which can occur in any position. PUFA has more than one double carbon bond, if the first double bond is found between the third and fourth carbon bonds it is called ra-3 fatty acids. The first double bond between the sixth and seventh carbon atoms is called ra-6 (Rustan and Drevon, 2005). Cod liver oil have a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids, and more than saturated-fatty acids (Das et al., 2007). So, present study was conducted with the aim to determine the effect of adding cod liver oil to commercial feed on the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids to giant prawn meat.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
This experiment was carried out at Prigi Brackish Aquaculture Plant, Trenggalek- East Java. Moreover, the research activities were carried out in June to July 2016.For the analysis of cod liver oil fatty acids and giant prawn meat, the activities were conducted on unit testing service at Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya.
The tools used include 20 pieces of aquarium measuring 35*20*25 cm3, aerators, aerated hoses, sipon (suction device), aeration stones, large plastic tubs, measuring cups, digital scales, thermometers, pH meters, DO meters, ammoniates test kits. On the other hand, the main ingredient used is giant prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) weighing 9 grams. Other ingredients include cod liver oil baby's Docosahexaenoic Aacid (DHA) brand, fish commercial feed, and chlorine (National Chlorine Industries Co. Ltd, Japan).
This research was carried out using an experimental method that is an experiment in the field or testing in a laboratory (Arifin, 1998). The design was based on Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a diversity of cod liver oil (Kusriningrum, 2008). This study used five treatments with four replications in each treatment. Determination of the number of repetitions in each treatment, then, the following formula is as follows:
t (n-1) > 15
Notes: t = the treatments tested; n = number of tests or groups.
The dosage of cod liver oil in each feed was 0% (control), 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%. Determination of the dose is based on the results of study (Faradilah, 2015) that has been done at a dose of 9% of the amount of feed which shows the best decrease in cholesterol in vannamei shrimp meat with the addition of cod liver oil.
Water quality
Water quality parameters measured during the study were temperature, pH, ammonia and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). The temperature was measured three times per day during the study, which was carried out at 06.00, 12.00, and 16.00 WIB (Indonesia's West Time Zone). Moreover, the measurement of pH and DO was done once a week while ammonia measurements are carried out twice during the study on the first day and the last day. This water quality measurement aims to monitor water quality conditions for giant prawns during maintenance. Temperature measurements were carried out three times a day, i.e. at 6:00 a.m. (Indonesia's West Time Zone), noon at 12.00 pm and evening at 4pm using a thermometer. Observation of temperature in the range 28-29 ° C. Measurement of the degree of acidity was done 3 times per day using a pH pen. From the observations, the acidity content is 6.5-7.5. This is in accordance with the statement where the optimal pH for giant prawn ranges from 6.0 to 8.5 (Erlangga, 2012). Measurement of marine oxygen (DO) was done once a week using a DO meter. DO observation results obtained 6-7 mg/l. This is appropriate where giant prawns can live in dissolved oxygen content in water that can support shrimp life which is between 4-8 mg/L (Fatagar, 2014). Ammonia is measured once a week using test-kit ammonia. In this study, ammonia content of 0.02-0.75 mg/l was obtained. This is not appropriate where ammonia for giant prawn ranges from 0-0.3 (Arthur, 2004). This difference is influenced by the rest of the feed, where changes in ammonia can be caused by temperature, pH and feed (Kamarudin et al., 1994).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Saturated fatty acids
The results showed that the value of giant prawn saturated fatty acid content ranged from 54.87% - 59.13%. Data on the average content of giant prawn saturated fatty acids are in table 1. Calculation of Analysis of Variants (ANOVA) showed no significant difference between each treatment (P> 0.05). Duncan's test results showed that P0 was not significantly different with Pi, P2, P3 and P4 (P>0.05). From the in vitro analysis, the cod liver oil fatty acids obtained 8.9% content of dietary saturated fatty acids. When supplementing to commercial feed with a composition of P0 (0%) obtained analysis of saturated fatty acids of 11.85%, P1 (3%) has a saturated fatty acid content of 10.496%, P2 (6%) of saturated fatty acid content of 10.496%, P3 (9%) 8.99% and P4 (12%) 8.97% data on saturated fatty acid content. A slight difference in the one factor; that supplement does not affect saturated fatty acids content (Table 1). This is in accordance with the feeding of fortified components of essential fatty acids which is an alternative method of regulating fat in livestock products (Legowo, 2004). The results presented in table 1 were not significantly different. It could be caused by the absorption of feed that it was not the same amount for each treatment.
Unsaturated fatty acids
The results showed the value of unsaturated fatty acid content of giant prawns ranged from 40.87% - 45.14%. Data on the average content of unsaturated fatty acids on giant prawn in table 2. The calculation of Analysis of Variants (ANOVA) showed that there is no significant difference (P> 0.05) between each treatment. Duncan's distance test results show that P0 is not significantly different (P> 0.05) with P1, P2, P3 and P4. The calculation of Analysis of Variant
666
(ANOVA) results showed that there is no significant difference (P> 0.05) for each treatment. This may be caused by the utilization of unsaturated fatty acids as energy and growth (possible mechanism). Tartrakoon et al. (2016) stated that the addition of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in feed will be accompanied by an increase in energy utilization. It was found out later that the process of utilizing unsaturated fatty acids as energy by means of fatty acids had undergone esterification that is forming esters with glycerol to triglycerides as energy reserves. Fatty acids are oxidized through beta oxidation and produce acetyl CoA which combines with acetyl CoA from the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins, then, substitute to the citric acid cycle to produce energy (Lodish et al., 2000).

Ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
The data on the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is obtained from the average content of saturated fatty acids divided by the average unsaturated fatty acid content of each treatment. The best ratio value is obtained from the lowest total cholesterol content in giant prawn meat and the best growth rate. Data on the ratio of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids are presented in table 3. The best ratio of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids can be seen from the value of cholesterol content in giant prawn meat and growth rate (Table 3). Cholesterol serves as a precursor of a number of compounds, such as sex hormones, adrenal cortex, bile acids and vitamin D. High cholesterol levels can cause heart attacks and strokes. According to Rosenthal (2000), the optimal content of cholesterol is below 100 mg/dl. The best growth rate is obtained from the value of the growth rate during maintenance.

From these data (Table 4) the addition of cod liver oil as many as 12% obtained a ratio of 1.21:1 which is a suitable ratio in terms of total cholesterol content. It is known that giant prawns that are fed commonly with the addition of 12% cod liver oil to meat, have a total cholesterol of 88.31 mg/dl, while giant prawns that are fed the same common feed but without the addition of cod liver oil cholesterol is 385.03 mg/dl. The total cholesterol content can be seen in table 4. Through table 4, it is seems that the smaller the ratio, will resulted with better the cholesterol value. This is adjusted to the addition of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) that can reduce total cholesterol because it is neutral against LDL (does not decrease or increase), but can increase HDL lipoprotein (Mora and Selpas, 2013). In accordance with the value of the growth rate which was the best ratio obtained 1.21:1, the supplementation of cod liver oil by 12% is the best rate of growth, while feed whose composition of cod liver oil is reduced has decreased growth rate (Sobirin, 2016).
The small ratio of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), the better the rate of growth, because saturated fatty acids are inversely proportional to UFA. This is in accordance with conditions where the ratio of saturated and UFA of 33.32:66.68 has a growth rate of 3.53 gr/day (Das et al., 2007). Lack of UFA will cause growth disturbance (Pangkey, 2011). As a matter of fact, consuming foods that contain lots of palmitate stearate can cause heart attacks due to clogged arteries. Consequently, the distribution of nutrients is inhibited and affects growth. This is
667
according to the fact that nutrition is very important so that fish have the ability to survive from disease and grow as desired (Pangkey, 2011).
CONCLUSION
Based on results, it can be concluded that, the supplementation of cod liver oil in commercial feed does not affect the ratio of the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in giant prawn meat. The optimum ratio of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids is 1.21:1 with cholesterol content of 88.34 mg/dl.
