Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kandungan protein optimum pakan untuk menunjang pertumbuhan maksimal dalam pemeliharaan benih ikan patin pasupati. Penelitian dirancang menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Sebagai perlakuan adalah pakan dengan kandungan protein berbeda, yaitu: A. 30%, B. 35%, C. 40%, dan D. 45%. Wadah pemeliharaan ikan uji adalah bak fiber berukuran 57 cm x 36 cm x 29 cm. Sebanyak 30 ekor ikan uji berukuran bobot awal 0,94 ± 0,13 g dengan panjang awal 3,82 ± 0,21 cm; ditebar ke dalam setiap bak. Percobaan berlangsung selama empat puluh hari. Ikan diberi pakan lima kali/hari sebanyak 10% dari biomassa ikan. Parameter yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan bobot, pertumbuhan panjang, retensi protein, rasio konversi pakan, dan sintasan. Data dianalisis dengan analisis ragam pada selang kepercayaan 95% dan dilanjutkan dengan Uji Beda Nyata Terkecil (Uji BNT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pakan dengan kandungan protein 40% (perlakuan C) memberikan performa pertumbuhan bobot, pertambahan panjang, retensi protein, dan konversi pakan terbaik (P<0,05) dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Sintasan ikan pada perlakuan A, B, dan C berturut-turut sebesar 81,11%; 80,00%; dan 80,00% dan tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05). Ikan pada perlakuan D memiliki sintasan terendah yaitu 72,22%.This study was aimed to determine the optimum feed protein content to support maximum growth performance of catfish juveniles. The study was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of different protein contents of artificial feed, namely: A. 30%, B. 35%, C. 40%, and D. 45%. The test fish were reared in fiber tank containers sized 57 cm x 36 cm x 29 cm. A total of 30 fish with an initial weight of 0.94 ± 0.13 g and length of 3.82 ± 0.21 cm were stocked into each tank. The experiment lasted for forty days. Fish were fed with the experimental feeds five times/day as much as 10% of the fish biomass. The parameters observed were weight growth rate, growth length, protein retention, feed conversion ratio, and survival rate. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance at 95% confidence interval and continued with the least significant difference (LSD) test. The results showed that the feed with a crude protein content of 40% (treatment C) gave the best growth performance, protein retention and feed conversion and significantly different compared with the other treatments (P <0.05). The survival rate of fish in treatment A, B, and C were 81.11%, 80.00%, and 80.00%, respectively which was not significantly different (P>0.05). Fish in the treatment D had the lowest survival rate (72.22%).

Abstract A 6-week 5×2 factorial study was conducted to examine the effects of stocking density and feeding frequency on growth performance, body composition, digestive enzyme activity, and tissue histology of juvenile hybrid groupers raised in an indoor circulating water system. Triplicate groups of fish were reared in tanks following a factorial design consisting of ten treatments including 5 stocking densities (SD) [1.1 kg m−3(0.55 kg fish per tank, SD1.1), 2.2 kg m-3(1.1 kg fish per tank, SD2.2), 3.3 kg m−3(1.65 kg fish per tank, SD3.3), 4.4 kg m−3(2.2 kg fish per tank, SD4.4) and 5.5 kg m−3(2.75 kg fish per tank, SD 5.5)] and 2 feeding frequencies (FF) [3 meals a day (FF3) and 2 meals a day (FF2)]. The resulting 10 treatments were G1(SD1.1,FF3), G2(SD2.2,FF3), G3(SD3.3,FF3), G4(SD4.4,FF3), G5(SD5.5,FF3), G6(SD1.1,FF2), G7(SD2.2, FF2), G8(SD3.3, FF2), G9(SD4.4, FF2) andG10 (SD5.5, FF2). Feed consumption and temperature were recorded throughout the experiment. After 6 weeks, the results indicated that the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of fish in the G7 group were significantly higher than those of other groups (P< 0.05), followed by G1, with G3 being the lowest. Weight gain and specific growth rates were generally higher in fish fed twice a day than those fed three times a day. The variations in protein content between groups were consistent with the muscle protein content trends. Feeding frequency and stocking density had significant effects on serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triglycerides (TGs), and cholesterol (CHO) (P < 0.05). Regarding immune function, grouper albumin (ALB), serum lysozyme (LZY), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) were significantly affected by stocking density and feeding frequency (P< 0.05). Pepsin and lipase activities in the stomach, intestine, and liver were also affected. The histological structure of the stomach, liver, and intestine in G1, G2, G7, and G8 fish was relatively normal, whereas those of the remaining groups exhibited varying degrees of damage. Overall, the optimum stocking densities were 1.343 kg/m3 (approximately 10 fish) and 2.004 kg/m3 (approximately 20-30 fish) when the fish were fed 3 and 2 times per day, respectively.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of giving Daphnia sp. as a natural feed enriched with the doses of glutamine to increase growth performance and survival rate of larvae. This study used a completed randomized design which consisted of four treatments, namely 0, 25, 50, dan 75 mgL-1 and three replications. The test feed was given to larvae stocked with 60 fish/aquarium (40 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm) for 21 days. The results showed that significant on growth performance and survival rate were revealed on larvae fed with Daphnia sp. which enriched by glutamine dose of 25-75 mgL-1.The physiological response of protease enzyme and antioxidant activity showed that better performance was found in the treatment with addition of glutamine rather than control. In short, enrichment of Daphnia sp. using glutamine can improve the growth performance and survival rate of goramy larvae. The optimal dose of glutamine for improving the survival of gorami larvae is 25 mg L-1.

Measuring digestive enzyme and surfactant activities tested specialization of gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) digestive physiology to a detritivorous feeding strategy. Digestive enzyme activity was measured in adult and larval gizzard shad using fluorescently labeled artificial substrates. Surfactant activity in gizzard shad was measured by comparing gut juice drop diameters over a range of dilutions. Enzyme activity in the ceca region of adult gizzard shad was high for esterase, beta-glucosidase, lipase, and protease. Enzyme activity was lower in posterior intestine sections than in anterior intestine sections, although protease activity remained high for the greatest distance in the intestine. Micelles were detected in adult gizzard shad gut juice, and surfactant activity was greatest in the ceca region. Larval gizzard shad protease activity was similar to that of adult fish, and surfactants were below their critical micelle concentration. Gizzard shad coupled digestive physiology with gut anatomy to obtain nutrients from detritus, and these adaptations may explain elevated growth rates observed in these fish when they are planktivorous.

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are able to utilise a broad range of organic wastes to fulfil their growth needs. To acquire this basic knowledge of its digestive adaptation to various food, five organic wastes (soybean meal [SBM], wheat bran [WB], beer yeast [BY], kitchen waste [KW] and chicken manure [CM]) were fed to 3-day-old BSFL for 16 days. The growth performance, luminal pH of the gut, midgut histology, digestive enzyme activity and intestinal bacterial microbiota of the larvae were assessed. Growth performance was greatest in the KW group followed by the SBM group and was worst in the CM group. Nutrient compositions of larvae were not significantly affected by those of the food sources, with the exception of crude ash. The ultrastructural observations of midgut showed the number of mitochondria in CM and BY groups was less than other three groups. Twenty-four hours after feeding, weakly acidic, acidic, strongly acidic, and alkaline luminal pH values were detected in the anterior, middle and posterior segments of the gut in all groups, but the luminal pH values of the hindgut varied with food source. Significant lipase and esterase activity, cellulase activity, and amylase activity were detected in the intestines of larvae reared on KW, WB and BY, respectively, revealing that digestive enzyme activity was closely associated with the nutrient composition of the food source. Bacterial composition and diversity differed significantly between groups and were characterised by specific indicator bacteria, which may play important roles in food digestibility. The results suggested that different food sources induced adaptive physical, chemical and biological changes in the digestive tracts of BSFL and may indicate that BSFL developed specific strategies for nutrient utilisation and accumulation. The knowledge acquired here will be beneficial for developing rearing protocols to optimise bioconversion in this insect for their various applications.
