Abstract

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture faces challenges in achieving optimal production efficiency due to limited land availability and water resources. This study aimed to analyze and compare the productivity and efficiency of the Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) and Biofloc systems in Nile tilapia culture. The research employed a comparative experimental approach, measuring growth performance, Food Conversion Ratio (FCR), Survival Rate (SR), and water-quality management efficiency in both systems. The results showed that both systems significantly improved aquaculture productivity compared to conventional methods. The RAS system produced a higher daily growth rate, with productivity reaching 35 to 40 kg/m³ per cycle, survival rates of 85 to 92%, and more stable water quality. Meanwhile, the biofloc system demonstrated better feed efficiency, with an FCR ranging from 0.9 to 1.2, compared to RAS, which ranged from 1.2 to 1.5, and productivity reached 30 to 38 kg/m³ when biofloc was used as an additional nutrient source. Economically, the biofloc system was more efficient in feed and water utilization, whereas RAS was superior in environmental control and in managing high stocking density. These findings provide a scientific basis for aquaculture practitioners in determining the most suitable technology based on business scale, capital capacity, and aquaculture sustainability goals.

Abstract

Catfish farming (Clarias gariepinus) is one of the rapidly growing aquaculture sectors in Indonesia. However, the main challenges frequently encountered are limited cultivation land and declining water quality due to the accumulation of metabolic waste, particularly ammonia. The Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) offers a solution by reusing culture water, assisted by mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration processes. RAS aims to minimize external water exchange while maintaining water quality at levels suitable for fish survival and growth. This article aims to review the concepts and benefits of recirculating systems in catfish culture, based on a literature review of scientific journals and related books, using a descriptive-exploratory approach. The review indicates that RAS provides numerous benefits, including improved water-use efficiency, enhanced water quality, reduced ammonia concentration, and increased stocking density and productivity in catfish culture. The role of filtration units and microorganisms is crucial in maintaining system stability, particularly in the decomposition of organic waste and toxic compound
