The efficacy and suitability of dietary whole wheat flour supplementation was evaluated on the growth performance and survival of rohu (Labeo rohita). The study was conducted in 12 experimental aquaria at the Wet Laboratory, Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. A total of 180 fingerlings of mean initial weight of 1.744±00 g were stocked at the same stocking density (268 fingerlings/m3). Four different treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4) each with three replications were performed having different level of whole wheat flour such as 0% whole wheat flour (T1), 5% whole wheat flour (T2), 10% whole wheat flour (T3) and 15% whole wheat flour (T4). Feeds were supplied at 5% body weight twice daily in the morning at 9.00 am and in the afternoon at 5.00 pm throughout the study period. The rations were adjusted every week when new weights of the fish for various experimental aquariums were determined. At the end of the 63 days study period, the growth performance parameters such as mean final weight (g), weight gain (g), percent weight gain (%), specific growth rate (%/day) and the best feed utilization in terms of food conversion ratio were found highest at treatment 4 where fishes were fed with inclusion of 15% whole wheat flour and lowest was found at treatment 1 (fed with inclusion of 0% whole wheat flour). Water quality parameters were within the acceptable range and survival rate was found 100% in all treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that treatment 4 (highest growth performance and survival rate of L. rohita with supplementation of 15% whole wheat flour containing diet) can be chosen by fish farmers for commercial culture of this species.

Stocking density is an important factor in cultivation, it can save land use, and increase the efficiency of fish farming. The purpose of this research was to determine the different density information on tilapia seeds measuring 2-3 cm as an alternative to using tilapia (O. niloticus) seeds 7-9 cm in size so that they can be developed in Batur Lake. The research was conducted in January - March 2020 in the floating net cages in Trunyan Kintamani village, Bangli, Bali. The research used a completely randomized design method with three treatments and three repetitions. The Tilapia seeds used are 2-3 cm with different stocking densities, 100 ind/m3, 150 ind/m3, and 200 ind/m3. The parameters observed were SGR (Specific Growth Rate), absolute growth, SR (Survival Rate), FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio), and water quality including temperature, DO, pH, TDS. The results of this study indicated that stocking density did not have a significant effect on the growth and survival rate of tilapia seeds, because the temperature was too cold so that the tilapia seeds failed to adapt properly at the beginning of stocking and the physiological conditions of the fish were disturbed so that the fish experienced stress and went to died. Water quality parameters measured include temperature with a range value of 25.86-25.880C, pH with a range value of 9.08-9.13, DO (Dissolved oxygen) with a range value of 7.9-8 mg/L, and TDS (Dissolved solids) with a range value of 1040.25-1041.58 mg/L.

Abstract The feed is one of the most important factors in the growth and survival of fish. One of the efforts made to increase the growth and survival of fish is the provision of herbal supplements in fish feed. The research aim is to provide information about the utilization of herbal supplements on the growth and survival of catfish (Clarias sp). This research has been carried out from July to August 2020 at Bandar Agung Lahat Village, South Sumatera. Catfish rearing containers use two waring units placed in concrete ponds with two treatment that P0: control (without herbal supplements) and P1: utilization of herbal supplements and. The data taken includes absolute growth and absolute length, survival, feed efficiency, and water quality. The utilization of herbal supplements has a good effect on fish growth, feed efficiency, and survival rate. Maintenance of P0 (control) resulted in an absolute weight of 9.79 grams, an absolute length of 6.3 cm, the survival of 85.15%, feed efficiency of 107.89% while maintenance of P1 with the utilization of herbal supplements resulted in an absolute weight of 14.17 grams, an absolute length 7.8 cm, survival 98.57%, feed efficiency 161.170%.

As one of fish commodity, Catfish (Pangasius pangasius) has a very important economic value for the community. The time needed for catfish cultivation tends to be long and the price of feed is high so that it triggers the less optimal production of catfish. One way to maximize good production and with minimized time is by adding multivitamin probiotics to the feed. This research aims to analyze the optimal dose of probiotics to the growth and survival rate of catfish . Method used is Complete Randomized Design Design (CRDD) using 4 treatments of probiotic doses and 3 replicates. The treatments are A Control (0.00 ml/kg), B (10 ml/kg), C (15 ml/kg), and D (20 ml/kg). Absolute weight, absolute length, and survival of catfish are the main variables observed. The data were analyzed by using the analysis of variance and continued with the LSD test (the Least Significant Difference), Ü = 0.05. The optimal dose of probiotics based on the absolute length and absolute weight of catfish is 10 ml/kg and it produces an absolute weight of 5.27 gram and absolute length of 5.76 cm. The optimal daily specific growth rate is at the probiotics dose of 10 ml/kg which is 2.302.55%/day. The highest survival rate for catfish is 100% at probiotic doses of 0.000 ml/kg, 10 ml/kg and 15 ml/kg. The range of water quality is in the temperature of 27.5 – 28,90C, pH 6.79 - 7.88, DO 6.4 - 7.9 ppm, and ammonia 0 ppm.

One of the factors that affect the colour quality of the platy fish (Xyphophorus helleri) during cultivation is the environment in bright light conditions, where setting bright light conditions can be done using a tank with a colour that can absorb light. Therefore, a study was conducted to examine the effect of tank colour on improving the colour quality of the platy fish and determining the correct tank colour. This research was conducted with an experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments repeated three times. The colour treatments of the tanks used were white, black, red, orange and yellow. The parameters observed were the increase in colour, growth in absolute weight and length and survival rate of platy fish. The results showed that the use of different tank colours had a significant effect (p <0.05%) on the improvement of colour quality and growth in absolute weight, and had no significant effect (p> 0.05) on absolute length growth and survival rate. The highest increase in colour quality was in white tanks with brightness values ranging from 13-15% and absolute weight growth ranging from 0.21 to 0.25 g. Therefore, in the cultivation of platy fish, a white tank should be used.

The Kapar fish  (Belontia hasselti) is the consumption fish that is obtained only on wild caught. Not yet succeeded in culture this fish, so domestication is needed as an early stage of the aquaculture. The purpose of this research was to knowning the stages of domestication of Kapar fish caught from the Sebangau river in the process of adaptation to new habitats in semi-permanent ponds which is seen from the observation of water quality as well as the growth and survival rate of the Kapar fish. Environmental adaptation for culture fish is the key to successful domestication. Observations of water quality in the fish's wild habitat with the quality of the water where the fish adapt in the pond are slightly different, especially the DO and pH values, but the water quality is still within the tolerance of the Kapar fish to live. The water quality parameters show the temperature in the range 27-29 °C, DO in the range 3-4.2 mg.L-1, and pH in the range 7-7.4. The growth in length and weight during the research showed that the fish were able to adapt feeding. The length and an average weight of Kapar fish until the research were 12.1 cm in length and 31.4 g of weight and it was known that during the research period the absolute length growth of Kapar fish was 1 cm and the absolute weight growth was 8 g . Results of data analysis carried out during the research that the survival rate of Kapar fish is 83 %.
