Abstract:
The research was conducted at private fish pond, Sei Paku, Kampar from
July to October 2012. The aim of the research was to investigate the levels of
different protein that provide the best growth and survival rate of baung (Mystus
nemurus). The experiment was designed by Completely Random Design and
Student Neuman Keuls was used to differentiate among treatments. The treatment
with four level protein diet 29 %, 33 %, 37 %, and 41 % (isocaloric) were fed to
Baung (Mystus nemurus). The result indicated that different protein levels have
significantly effect on growth and survival rate of baung (Mystus nemurus). The
best result was achieved by 37% protein level. Total absolute body weight,
absolute body length, daily growth rate, survival rate, feed efficiency, feed
conversion, and protein retention was 56 grams, 19.78 cm, 3,84 %/day, 83.33 %,
77.41 %,1.29,and 1,17 % respectively.
