APLIKASI TRIPTOFAN DAN GLISIN DALAM PAKAN RUCAH SERTA PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP TINGKAT KANIBALISME, PERTUMBUHAN DAN SINTASAN KRABLET KEPITING BAKAU (Scyla serrata)
Abstract: The aims of this
experiment was to obtain data and information on the percentage of decrease in
the levels of cannibalism, growth and survival rate of mud crab crablet (Scyla
serrata) by feeding trash mixed with tryptophan and glycine. This research was
conducted in the wet lab experimental pond installation at Center of Research
and Development of Brackish Water Aquaculture Maranak, Maros for 28 days using
12 aquariums each measuring 80x40x60 m3. Crablets (C-20) from the hatchery were
used for this study, measuring 5.3+0.2 mm in width and 0.15+0.02 g in weight.
Ten crablets were stocked in each aquarium. The treatments applied were (A):
trash fi sh tilapia (Tilapia mosambica), (B): trash fi sh + tryptophan and (C):
trash fi sh + glycine, with three replicates per treatment. Feeding dose was 25%
of the total biomass crablet while the dose of tryptophan and glycine were 1.0%
of the amount of feed given per aquarium. Feeding was done twice a day in the
morning and evening. Variables observed were the growth in carapace width,
weight, level of cannibalism, survival rate and water quality parameters. The
results showed that adding the amino
acids tryptophan and glycine in trash fi sh feed
at 1.0% of total biomass could signifi cantly (P<0.05) suppress the
level of cannibalism krablet without affecting the growth rate (weight and
width of carapace) and increase the
survival rate of the mud crab krablet.
