This study aimed to obtain the optimal concentration of 2-phenoxy ethanol in the transportation medium for the brood stock candidate of the Perkasa Striped catfish. To determine the optimal concentration of 2-phenoxy ethanol in the transportation medium for the Perkasa Striped catfish brood stock candidate, the study used a completely randomized design with three replications consisting of five levels of treatment with a concentration of 2-phenoxy ethanol, namely 0 (control), 100, 150, 200, and 250 ppm. The test fish were Perkasa Striped catfish brood stock candidates weighing an average of 1,000 grams. A plastic bag of 80 x 40 cm was filled with 15 liters of water, 45 liters of oxygen, and 5 fish, and the transport test was carried out in a closed and static way for 12 hours. Parameters observed included survival rate at the end of transportation and on day 7 after transportation, the quality of the media water (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature), and cortisol level in the blood. The results showed that 100 ppm of 2-phenoxy ethanol was the best concentration for transporting Perkasa Striped catfish brood stock candidates, with a survival rate of 100.0±0.0 percent at the end of transportation and 83.3±28.9 percent on the seventh day after transportation, dissolved oxygen content of 1.47±0.99 mg/L, and blood cortisol levels of 47.85±11.85 g/dL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
