“…To avoid stressful conditions due to interactions between fish, each side of the acclimatization container was lined with opaque paper. Feed in the form of silk worms was given twice a day (09.00 and 16.00 WIB) ad libitum [6]…”

“…Fish reared at 40 NTU turbidity showed a reduction in predation due to reduced visual performance. Another study by [6] also reported that increased turbidity due to POME contamination of ∼60 NTU had affected the eating behavior of Betta splendens fish as indicated by a reduction in the fish's home range and slow food detection efforts. The turbidity level of 8.7 NTU was caused by the addition of bentonite which caused a decrease in foraging behavior in E. fonticola [9].…”

Contamination of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) into water bodies potentially disrupting the visualization and affects behaviourial changes such nesting ability of male Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens). The study examined the effects of turbidity due to POME contamination toward nest area as one of the indicators for the reproductive behavior of the betta splendens. The research used Completely randomized Design with different level of turbidity: <1 NTU (control), 20 NTU (treatmen A), 40 NTU (tretment B), 60 NTU (Treatment C). Preference tests were carried out in a 6-L aquarium (20x20x20 cm3). Nest area was measured each hour for 8 hours. Nest area was captured using camera and measured with imageJ. Result showed there was no significant difference in nest area of Betta splendens in different level of turbidity. The range of nest area in sequence until the end of exposure were 0-0.8 cm2, 0.7-2.5 cm2, 4.6-6.7 cm2, 4.5-7.2 cm2, 7.6-8.7 cm2, 9.4-11.11 cm2, 9.7-12.5 cm2, dan 11.6-14.14 cm2. Turbidity due to POME collected from the last pond with low pollutant contamination has no impact on nesting ability of betta fish. Nest building behavior is often correlated with hormone concentrations due to pollutant contamination with a certain consentration of pollutant.
