MANAJEMEN PEMBERIAN PAKAN PADA PEMELIHARAAN LARVA SYNODONTIS (SYNODONTIS EUPTERUS)
ABSTRACT: This study aims to
determine the right type of feed during the transition to the larvae feed or
age-14 days so as to increase the growth and survival of featherfin squeaker (Synodontis eupterus)
larvae.The larvae had average length of 0,67 cm with average weight of 0,003 g
derived from Research and
Development Instituted of Ornamental
fish, Depok,West Java. The larvae were fed ad satiation with Artemia sp. and Tubifex sp. The results
indicated that the highest specific growth rate of larvae fed with Tubifex sp.
three times a day reach 22,47 ± 2,93%. Highest survival rate of featherfin
squeaker larvae with Artemia sp. three
times a day reach 99,56 ± 0,77%. Based on the analysis of variance showed that the
different feeding significantly (P<0,05) on the specific growth rate of
featherfin squeaker larvae and not significant (P>0,05) on survival of
featherfin squeaker larvae. Tubifex sp. has a high nutrient content, easy to digest, and a distinctive fishy smell
so it was able
of attracting larvae
to consume and
increase the growth of featherfin
squeaker larvae.
