Effect of temperature, pH, and salinity on body weight of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) at different stockings

Abstract

The Asian Seabass farming can be successful with optimum environmental conditions. Water quality as a culture media must always be maintained to suppress the occurrence of pathogen attacks on fish. The study aims to determine the effect of temperature, pH, and salinity in the maintenance of body weight Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) at different stocking. The field experiment method was applied in this study using a 6.28 m3 tank using 2 treatments, namely P1 (density 1000) and P2 (density 1400) fish measuring 2-3 cm for 30 days. Parameters observed included observations of growth and water quality (temperature, pH, and salinity). The result showed that there was an effect of temperature, pH, and salinity on the growth of Asian Seabass. The temperature, pH, and salinity showed an effect on body weight by P1 (35.2%) and P2 (28.9%). The conclusion of this study is that the density of 1000 shows a higher effect that the density of 1400 on the growth of Asian Seabass.

Improved accuracy in IoT-Based water quality monitoring for aquaculture tanks using low-cost sensors: Asian seabass fish farming

“…Asian Sea bass can adapt to different kinds of environments and types of water either in freshwater, brackish water, or saltwater. However, culture in seawater can reduce the disease of fish [ 19 ]. As can be seen in Fig.…”

“…This is because the epileptic variation in pH can inhibit their growth or even expose the fish to disease. A recommended desirable range of pH level for Asian sea bass is around 7.0 to 8.5 [ 19 ]. Furthermore, the recommended DO level for Asian seabass ranges from 4 to 8 mg/L [ 20 ].…”

Kualitas Air pada Media Pemeliharaan Larva Ikan Kakap Putih (Lates calcarifer)

“…Kadar pH Perairan akan mempengaruhi metabolisme ikan. pH yang tinggi dari suatu perairan akan membuat pertumbuhan ikan menjadi lambat (Insivitawati et al, 2022). Tingginya pH perairan akan meningkatkan energi untuk proses metabolisme, sehingga terjadi penumpukan produksi feses dan ekskresi.…”

Comparisons on Growth Performance, Survivability, Organoleptic Qualities and Economic Feasibility of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) Reared in Different Salinities

“…One of the most significant advantages of Asian seabass aquaculture is its rapid growth to reach edible size within a year, hence contributing to high yields and profitability to aquaculture production. However, Asian seabass aquaculture exhibits inconsistent production when they are cultured in different salinities systems (Insivitawati et al, 2022). Hence, understanding the Asian seabass's tolerance to salinity variations on its growth, feeding performance, stress level, meat quality and nutritional value are paramount issues to be solved.…”
