CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Soil, a critical component of Earth's ecosystem, plays a vital role in supporting both living
and nonliving entities. Covering a significant portion of the planet's surface, soil provides
6
essential services and resources. To sustain its function and promote growth, soil requires
adequate nutrients. The fertility and health of soil greatly influence agricultural productivity,
land development, and habitat creation. Unfortunately, the disposal of fish waste, such as
discarded fish parts, contributes to land pollution. In local wet markets, fish organs are often
discarded as they are deemed inedible and contain toxic chemicals. However, these organs
may contain valuable nutrients that could enhance soil structure. Numerous studies have
explored the utilization of fish parts as fertilizers, converting waste into sustainable nutrients
for plant growth and soil development. Among these fish parts, the liver stands out due to its
rich nutrient content, including amino acids. The researchers propose an innovative approach
hydrolysate spray to enhance soil development. This solution not only improves soil structure
and promotes growth but also addresses the issue of fish waste and reduces the risk of land
pollution. By harnessing market waste as a research instrument, this study aims to provide an
alternative source of soil nutrients while mitigating environmental concerns associated with
fish waste disposal. The hydrolyzed Yellowfin Tuna liver presents a promising opportunity to

This study is only focusing on proving that Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) Liver could
be better and more effective than most commercial fertilizers in enhancing and improving the
soil nutrients of loam soil. This study does not consider its effects on plants and vegetation,
and other components of the soil such as its fertility and yield. The results of this study will
only be applicable in the development of the structure of the soil and the enhancement of its
Theoretical Framework
This study was based on the ideas established by the following theories:
Trofobiose Theory
States that living organisms needs to be provide enough necessities to be able to grow. For
soil, it needs proper amount of nutrients to be able to develop and support both living and
non-living organism.
10
Soil Fertility Theory
It shows the relationship between fertilizers, ,manures, and dry matter yields. A fertile soil is
achieved when proper amount of nutrients is applied since it is part of important necessities
of the soil.
It reflects the knowledge in the soil which includes the extent to which soil properties are
known and understand. By knowing soil genesis, it shows how a certain soil developed its
formation and how much nutrients are needed to achieve a fertile soil.
Law of Minimum
It states that yield is proportional to the amount of the most limiting nutrient, which ever
nutrient it may form. It explains that to achieve the fertility and sustainability of the soil, it
Soil Management
Every component of the soil is continually involved in process of change therefore, each soil
is a dynamic system with complex formation. It involves the managing of the soil system and
its nutrients including its amount and how it will affect the fertility of the soil

CHAPTER II
Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) Liver is one of the fastest and most powerful predators
in the open ocean, making it an important fish species wherever it lives. Yellowfin Tuna
begin as very small larvae, less than a few millimeters long and weighing only a few
hundredths of a gram. The specimen reaches sexual maturity within 2 years and reaches up to
almost microscopic size to one of the largest predators in the open ocean), so they eat a wide
variety of their lives. They eat small zooplankton when they prey throughout are young, and
their prey grows with them. Adults feed on fairly large bony fish and squid. Similarly,
Yellowfin Tuna are eaten by various predators. Once hatched, they are eaten by other fish
that specialize in plankton. At this stage of life, their numbers drop dramatically.
(worbwide.org2015)
The liver of the Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) were investigated on the food
compositional characteristics. Yellowfin Tuna liver are high in crude protein, carbohydrate,
and crude ash, while its low in crude lipid (Rowbotham, Jan, Block, Barbara A. 21 July
2017). The results of heavy metal suggested that yellowfin Tuna liver appeared safe as a food
resource. The major amino acids of the liver are aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, valine,
leucine, and lysine (Fishing Mag. 7 June 2022) Yellowfin Tuna Livers were good sources of
iron and zinc while having low lipid content respectively, and the major free amino acids
14
were taurine, glutamic acid, and alanine. From the results of taste valve the major taste active
compounds among free amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid (Froese,2014)
Amino acids, either in a free or polymeric state, represent a (significant) significant addition
of most ecosystems and therefore comprise a key pool in the soil nitrogen cycle. The ability
of some plants to take up amino acids directly from soil may confer a competitive advantage
particularly in N-limited environments. Amino acids are key components that play important
Amino acids also act as biostimulants in plants. As brostimden biostimulants, amino acids
can play an important role in increasing plant productivity, especially under abiotic and biotic
stress conditions, These characteristics combined with the ability to be approved for organic
use, make sustainably produced amino acids a smart choice for producers (Jardin, P. 2015).
Free amino acids (FAA) in soil solutions are increasingly recognized as potentially important
nitrogen sources for plants, but researchers are beginning to understand how FAA behaves in
soil. They went and investigated the effects found in amino acid chemistry and soil properties
It is a set of various chemical processes that determine the amount of available plant nutrients
in the soil, but also the chemical, physical and biological soil properties important for plant
nutrition. Chemical soil analysis determines the content of plant nutrients; these are nitrogen,
phosphorus (P205), potassium (K20) pH, humus content, total CaCO3, available lime,

organie matter, total sulphur (s), Sodium, micro nutrients, and other physical characteristics
Soil Profile
The soil profile is an important tool in nutrient management. By examining a soil profile, we
can gain valuable insight into soil fertility. As the soil weathers or organic matter
decomposes, the profile of the soil changes. For instance, a highly weathered, infertile soil
usually contains a light-colored layer in the subsurface soil from which nutrients have
leached away. On the other hand, a highly fertile soil often has a deep surface layer that
contains high amounts of organic matter. With clues provided by soil profile, we can begin to
predict how a soil will perform under certain nutrient management conditions. Scientists have
developed methods to describe the various components and characteristics of the soil profile.
By using common terminology, soil profile descriptions are valuable for deciding how the
soil might be used and predicting how the soil might react to its intended use. Technical
descriptions of the soil are not only useful for farmers, but for scientists, ecologists, soil
engineers, hydrologists and land use planners. (ctahr.hawaii.edu, 2022) Relation of microbes

component of the soil habitat where they play significant roles in soil-plant systems
functioning through controlling nutrient cycling reactions essential for sustaining soil
strength, quality and also contributing to the genesis and maintenance of soil structure
(Meena et al. 2015a, b, e, Raghavendra et al. 2016; Zahedi 2016; Rauat et al. 2016; Yasin et
al. 2016; Tectia et al. 2016) There is an infinite abundance of microbes that exist within the
system. However, very little is known about the tiny creature which is responsible for
numerous processes occuring in soil and maintaining productivity in natural and managed
agroecosystems (Meena et al. 2016, e, Saha et al. 2016; Yadav and Sidhu. 2016)

Soil enzymes
Soil enzymes are a group of enzymes whose usual inhabitants are the soil and are
continuously playing an important role in maintaining soil ecology, physical and chemical
properties, fertility, strength, structure, soil health and responsible for overall process of
organic matter decomposition in the soil system (Dick et al. 1996). They are important in
catalyzing several vital reactions necessary for the life processes of microorganisms in soils
and the stabilization of soil structure, the decomposition of organic wastes, organic matter
Amino Acid Compositions of Hydrolyzed yellowfin Tuna Liver The hydrolysates of the
yellowfin Tuna viscera at different times suggest that they could be a high quality feed
ingredient given a relatively good level of some of the essential amino acids, although the
hydrolysates have an extremely high content of the flavor enhancers glutamic acid, aspartic
acid, glycine, and alanine with about 36.6-37.4% of the total amino acids, which may lead to
a good taste in products using these materials (Cao et al., 2003). Also arginine is classified as
these hydrolysates. Furthermore, for animal feeding, growth rates produced by diets with
large amounts of free amino acids are inferior to diets of similar amino acid composition in
which the nitrogen component is in the form of protein (Walton et al., 1989; Dabrowski and
Guderley, 2002).
Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of an organic chemical with water to form two or more new
substance and usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water. In fact,
17
Hydrolysis can be the reverse of a condensation reaction in which two molecules join
together into a larger one and eject a water molecule (Science Direct, 2018)
A carboxyl group is deprotonated and exits as the carboxylate anion, whereas on amino
group is protonated and exists as the ammonium cation. Thus, amino acids exist primarily as
a dipolar ion, or zwitterion group, in aqueous solution (hybrid) Because amino and
zwitterions are internal salts, they share many of the physical properties of salts. They have
large dipole moments, are crystaline with relatively high melting points, and are water
soluble. Furthermore, due to their amphiprotic nature, amino acids can react as acids or bases

The branch of soil science that deals with the chemical composition, chemical properties and
chemical reactions of soil. Soils are heterogeneous mixtures of air, water, inorganic and
organic solids, and microorganisms of both plant and animal in nature. No two soils are

essential for sustaining soil. Hence, we will be able to observe the effect of the hydrolyzed
fertilizer and know what notes to take. Hydrolysis involves the reaction of an organic
chemical with water to form a new substance and usually means the cleavage of chemical
bonds by the addition of water. through this, the researchers can get the most out of the liver's
acids and nutrients. (Science Direct, 2018) The hydrolysates of the yellowfin Tuna viscera
suggest that they could be a high-quality feed ingredient given. A relatively good level of
some of the essential amino acids is about 36.6-37.4% of the total amino acids. (CAO et al.,
2008)
Chemical weathering also plays a part in our experiment which controls the formation and
evolution of soil, particularly the concentration and distribution of chemical elements in the
soil including the elements that control soil fertility and the physical properties of the soil.

In some fish parts specifically, the liver may be harmful when applied to the soil
knowing that it can be damaged or rotten which can lead to extraneous circumstances. Fish
can also take in harmful chemicals from the water they swim in or through the components of
the food they eat. These instances can bring impact the acidity level and needed nutrients
contained in the body. Knowing that the Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus Albacares) Liver shows
promise in bringing this study to success, the percentage of its availability tends to be a
problem in markets considering it is fish waste where it is thrown away or maybe fed to stray
animals. Moreover, the basis of this experiment will be at its extreme since it doesn't include

This study has four set ups using an experimental research approach. Both were
respectively labeled experiment and control groups. The experimental group received varied
doses of hydrolyzed Yellowfin Tuna liver in order to gradually increase the concentration
levels for the independent variable. The control group was used as a reference point to
calculate the rate of hydrolyzed Yellowfin Tura liver under typical circumstances. The
dependent variables of the experiment were the variations in acidity rates between the control

Preparation of Test Organism
The samples of Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus Albacarus) will be collected from wet fish
markets wherein each liver of the samples is extracted thoroughly then it will undergo the
process of hydrolysis through the process of liquefaction of each extracted Yellowfin Tuna
(Thunnus Albacarus) liver which will then proceed boiling where it will have a time duration
experiment will have four setups, each with the same container, the same amount of loam
soil, the same amount of water added daily, the same amount of concentration added to each
replicate (20ml), and five replicates, but different salinity levels for each experimental setup (
In experimental setup 1, the concentration will contain 80 ml of water and 20ml Hydrolyzed
Yellowfin Tuna Liver. In experimental setup 2, the concentration will contain 60 ml of water
will contain 40 ml of water and 60 ml of Hydrolyzed Yellowfin Tuna Liver.) The total
concentration made for each setup will be 100 ml but will be distributed as 20 ml for every 5
replicates. For the controlled setup, it will still have the same amount of water added daily
and the same amount of loam soil. Commercial Fertilizer(20g) will be added instead of the
Yellowfin Tuna Liver concentration as it will be used for comparison of effectiveness on the
final day. Also, each container will have holes beneath as it resembles a real pot where extra
amounts of water will flow. The setups will be observed in a few amount of days and
chemical analysis will be performed on the final day to see how the Hydrolyzed Yellowfin
Tuna (Thunnus Albacarus) Liver has affected the properties and structure of the soil. All

Summary of Findings
After the experiment, the following have been observed and measured:
26
⦁ The colors showing the amount of nutrients has shown different colors(based on each
setups)
⦁ Both setup 1 and setup 2 has shown very low nitrogen content than setup 3
⦁ Only setup 1 has shown very low level of Phosphorus than setup 2 and setup 3
Conclusions
Based on the observations made and the quantification through statistical treatments, the
⦁ The data obtained from the experimental setups revealed pH acid of mostly levels of 8
with slight decrepancy from other replicate setups, deeming it adequate for most plants and
vegetation. There are variations in the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash (potassium
containing salt) among the different soil setups obtained from the soil testing kit.
● Setup 1: had very low levels of all three nutrients, which likely hindered plant growth.
● Setup 2: had very low nitrogen and potash levels but medium phosphorus levels,
● Setup 3: had low nitrogen and phosphorus levels but medium potash levels, resulting
composition in the soil to support optimal vegetation growth and productivity. Further
research is recommended to explore the interactions between these nutrients and investigate
the underlying mechanisms influencing plant physiology for effective soil nutrient
management strategies.
27
Recommendations
⦁ using pure loam soil for consistent and reliable results. This will ensure that the soil
composition remains consistent and eliminates any potential confounding factors that may
⦁ Ensure availability of fresh stock of yellowfin tuna livers: To maintain the integrity of
the experimental setup, it is crucial to have a constant and readily available supply of fresh
yellowfin tuna livers. This will allow for accurate and repeatable measurements of liver-
⦁ Determine concentration ratio suitable for the given amount of soil: It is important
to establish an optimal concentration ratio of yellowfin tuna liver extract or any other
relevant substance based on the amount of soil being used in each setup. This will help
achieve a balanced nutrient distribution and ensure that the soil receives adequate
precise and accurate results, it is recommended to perform chemical soil analysis and testing
in a laboratory equipped with advanced equipment. This will enable thorough examination of
experimental outcomes
setups are essential to track any changes or developments in the soil and plant growth. Daily
observations will help identify any immediate impacts, trends, or anomalies that may arise
⦁ Provide the appropriate amount of water: Maintaining proper soil moisture is critical
for healthy plant growth to be used as a good fertilizer. It is advised to ensure that each setup
receives an appropriate amount of water, tailored to the specific needs of the plants and the
28
soil type being used. Regular monitoring of soil moisture levels and adjustment of watering
⦁ Expose the setups to the right amount of sunlight: Sunlight is a vital factor in soil
health, plant growth and development. It is crucial to provide the experimental setups with an
adequate amount of sunlight, considering the light requirements of the specific plant species
involved. Proper exposure to sunlight will optimize and enhance the overall productivity of
the experiment.
