The effect of different feed on Ctenopoma (Ctenopoma acutirostre) production through survival rate and growth

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effects of different feed on growth rate and survival rate of Ctenopoma (Ctenopoma acutirostre). Ctenopoma used in this study had weight 0,65 grams each from 300 fish and maintained in aquarium with dimention 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm used densities 5 fish/litre. This study used Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were A (silk worms), B (freezed blood worms), C (freezed artemia), D (freezed daphnia), and E (commercial feed). This study conducted for 60 days rearing with observed parameters such as spesific growth rate, length, weight, and survival rate. The data were analyst descriptively. Samples data were recorded and conducted on day 0, day 10, day 20, day 30, day 40, day 50, and day 60th. Treatment A were resulted highest growth with weight of 1.94 gram, SGR of 2.28%, and length of 1.38 cm although showed no different on survival rate.
