PENGARUH PERBEDAAN MEDIA DAN PERIODE TRANSPORTASI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT RUMPUT LAUT (KAPPAPHYCUS ALVAREZII)
ABSTRACT: Brown seaweed
(Kappaphycus alvarezii) is one of the important aquaculture commodities in Indonesia.
Tissue culture seaweed seed has higher quality than the natural ones, but
tissue culture seaweed seed still imported from a specific area. Media and
transportation period effect the seed freshness. The study was conducted to
determine the effective of transportation medium and the optimal of
transportation period. The study was conducted in the Ketapang’s marine, South
Lampung. The study using experimental methods with completely randomized
factorial design with two treatments and three replication for each treatment.
The first treatment is the difference transport media (banana stem and sponge),
and the second treatment is the difference transport period (24, 48, and 72
hours). The parameters observed were transport temperature, the seed freshness,
seaweed growth weight, and water quality factor (pH, dissolved oxygen,
salinity, temperature, water clarity, and flow velocity). The results showed
that the seaweed was transported by the media banana stem had seed freshness
and weight growth higher quality than the sponge media, and the transportation
period affected the seed freshness and the seaweed growth weight.
