Abstract:
Bronze featherback (Notopterus notopterus, Pallas 1769) is one of Indonesia's
endemic fish. Stocking density is important aspects of fish farming activities. This
study aims to determine the stocking density that is appropriate for the cultivation of
bronze featherback. This research was conducted from June to July 2019 in a fish
pond in Sungai Geringging Village, Kampar Kiri District, Riau. The design used in this
study was a completely random design with three factors and threes replications.
Stocking density treatment used was 5 fish / m3, 10 fish / m3, and 15 fish / m3.
The results showed that the 5 stock / m3 stocking density treatment the best fish
growth with absolute weight growth value (50,05 g), rate daily growth (2.39 %),
survival rate (86.67 %), fat retension (1,267) and protein retension (19,833).
