The mortality of tinfoil barb during transportation is relatively high due to the oxygen consumption rate and excretion of these fishes. Therefore, the use of an appropriate anesthetic drug becomes one of the solutions for solving this transportation problem of tinfoil barb. One of the natural anesthetic drugs with potential to be studied is Chromolaena odorata leaves. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anesthetic compounds from Chromolaena odorata leaves in the closed transportation of tinfoil barb. The experimental design used was a non-factorial completely randomized design that consisted of four treatments and three replications,then followed by a Tukey test to see if there was a significant difference. The experimental treatments were A (0 ml/L of leaves filtrate), B (80 ml/L of leaves filtrate), C (90 ml/L of leaves filtrate), and D (100 ml/L of leaves filtrate). The observed parameters were fish behavior towards unconscious condition, onset time, immotilization time, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that the shortest onset time was obtained from treatment D (100 ml/L leaves filtrate), namely 58 minutes towards unconscious condition, then the longest immotilization time was also shown by treatment D, which was 371 minutes. The highest survival rates were also shown by treatment D which were 94,33% during transportation and 76,33% during culture. The water quality parameters during the experiment were in an optimum condition of tinfoil barb. Keywords:AnestheticChromolaenaodorataTransportationTinfoil barb

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pakan alami yang berbeda memberi pengaruh yang sangat berbeda nyata terhadap pertumbuhan dan konsumsi pakan pada ikan kakap putih dimana Fhitung >Ftable yaitu pada perlakuan A. Akan tetapi tidak memberi pengaruh yang sangat berbeda nyata terhadap kelangsungan hidup ikan kakap putih. Nilai kualitas air selama penelitian yaitu baik dimana berada pada kisaran yang layak untuk kehidupan ikan kakap putih dengan pH 7,9-8,5, suhu berkisar 25-290C dan salinitas 23-26 ppt.The research was conducted on June 1 to July 1 2014 in Pond at Cot Kafiraton Seunuddon district, North Aceh. The experiment treatments was used on this study using a completely randomized design (CRD) non factorial with five treatments and three replicated which were A: feed types of dogol shrimp, B: feed  type of tilapia seed, treatment C: feed type of snails, treatment D: feed type commercial pellets. Parameters of this study was the survival rate, growth, feed consumption rate and water quality. Data were analyzed descriptively and tested by the least significant difference (LSD). The results was showed that different types of feed had very effect significantly different  on the growth and feed intake of sea bass (Fcal>Ftab). However, different fedd types did not give significantly different influence on the survival rate of sea bass. Water quality parameters were in suitable condition for sea bass habitats. The value of pH was 7,9-8,5, temperature 25-29 0C and salinity  23-26 ppt.

The effect of fairy shrimp “branchoneta” as the first exogenous feed for tambaqui postlarvae was evaluated. A hundred and eighty larvae were distributed in 12 aquariums, containing 1.5L of water and the stocking density was 10 larvae per liter. The trials lasted for 20 days and postlarvae were submitted to three diets (T1: Commercial feed, T2: branchoneta, and T3: Commercial feed with branchoneta), with a completely randomized design with four replicates for each treatment. During the trials, the water quality parameters were kept within ideal conditions for the species. The tambaqui postlarvae submitted to T2 and T3 showed better survival rates respectively.  Regarding the postlarval development, larvae fed with only branchoneta had a better final weight (3.48 mg), daily weight gain (0.14 mg day-1), and the best specific growth rate (8.62%). The results also showed that the tambaqui postlarvae fed with only commercial feed developed less efficiently due to lower rates of survival and growth. The present study indicates that the branchoneta promoted greater development and survival rates of the tambaqui postlarvae and therefore, it presents good potential as a live food for the species.
