ABSTRACT
MUHAMMAD ATILAH SETIAWAN. A.1710448. Natural Feeding of Sludge
Worms (Tubifex sp.) with Different Feeding Rate on Growth and Survival Rate of
Ctenopoma (Ctenopoma acutirostre) Fish Seeds. Under Supervision of Fia Sri
Mumpuni and Muarif.
The aim of this study was to determine the growth and survival rate of Ctenopoma
fish seeds. This study used a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and
3 replications. The treatment in this study was a different feeding rate using
natural feed of Tubifex sp namely A (8%), B (10%), and C (12%) ). The test fish
used was Ctenopoma fish seeds with an initial length of 2.40 ± 0.10 cm and an
initial weight of 0.32 ± 0.05 g. Fish seeds are cultivated for 28 days with feeding
frequency twice a day. The results of research showed that the use of different
feeding rate had an significantly different (P<0.05) on the specific growth rate
and absolute length growth with the best results in the treatment C. The survival
rate was not significantly different between treatments (P>0.05).
Key Words: Ctenopoma, feeding rate, growth, survival rate.
