Pertumbuhan benih ikan baung yang diberi kombinasi cacing sutra dan pakan buatan

Abstract

This research aimed to obtain information of growth and survival of green catfish (Mystus nemurus) juvenile fed with sludge worm (Tubifex sp.; T) and artificial diet (PB) and added with the combination of 50% soybean pulp waste and 50% freshwater trash fish. Feeding was performed in several variation of time during 40 days of fish rearing. Average body length of juvenile was 12 mm and weight 2.8±0.0 mg, maintained at a density of 30 individuals/aquarium. The treatment in this research was T10PB30 (8–18 days old juvenile were fed with sludge worm and 18–48 days old fish were fed with artificial diet), T20PB20 (8–28 days old juvenile were fed with sludge worm and 28–48 days old were fed with artificial diet), T30PB10 (8–38 days old juvenile were fed with sludge worm and 38–48 days old were given artificial diet), PB40 (8–48 days old juvenile were fed artificial diet), T40 (8–48 days old juvenile were fed with sludge worm). The results indicated that the treatment of 40 days feeding with sludge worm provided the best growth and survival as daily growth rate of 16.4±28.0 g/day, the growth of the absolute length was 43.60±0.01 mm, the absolute body weight 2,047.2±35.0 mg and the survival rate was 96.44%. The best artificial feeding treatment was feeding with sludge worm for 30 days and with 10 days of artificial diet, results in daily growth rate of 4.53±0,25 mm/day, the growth of the absolute length 40.00±0.04 mm, the absolute body weight 1,447.2±15.0 mg, and the survival rate 94.44±2.60%.
