Abstract

The production of silver pompano (Trachinotus blochii) in Indonesia has declined sharply, highlighting persistent issues in its nursery stage, particularly the inability to promote rapid growth and high survival rates when water quality fluctuates. This research assessed intensive nursery techniques implemented at Balai Perikanan Budidaya Laut  (BPBL) in Batam by systematically testing different stocking densities, feeding schedules, and key water-quality metrics. Over a twenty-one-day culture cycle, observers collected data daily and interpreted it using descriptive statistics. Fish length rose from an initial mean of 2.50 cm to 3.73 cm, and mean weight climbed from 0.50 g to 1.30 g, yielding an average specific growth rate of 2.5% per day, a survival rate of 83.7%, and a feed-conversion ratio of 2.1. During the trial, temperature (27.6 °C), pH (7.81), dissolved oxygen (5.7 mg/L), and salinity (30 ppt) consistently fell within national SNI 7901-2013 standards. Most deaths occurred during grading rather than through cannibalism, indicating that handling stress, rather than predatory behavior, was the primary cause of loss. Collectively, these results establish a reference point for nursery management of T. blochii and furnish Indonesian aquaculture planners with data needed to boost fish-seed output while strengthening coastal community livelihoods

Abstract

Sand lobster (Panulirus homarus) is a high-value marine commodity with promising potential for mariculture development in Indonesia. This study described the grow-out technique for P. homarus in floating net cages at BPBL Batam. It evaluated its production performance in terms of growth, feed utilization, survival, and water quality. A field-based observational study was conducted for 74 days using juveniles with an initial mean body weight of 5.14 g and an initial mean total length of 5.44 cm. Lobsters were reared in six submerged M-sized cages (0.7 m² per unit) at a stocking density of 50 individuals per cage and were fed chopped trash fish once daily at 20% of biomass. Mean body weight and total length increased to 20.94 g and 8.47 cm, respectively, with absolute weight gain of 15.80 g, absolute length gain of 3.03 cm, and a specific growth rate of 1.89% day⁻¹. However, the feed conversion ratio was high (30.00), and the survival rate was low (40.33%). Water-quality variables remained within acceptable ranges for lobster culture. These findings indicate that the system supported lobster growth, but feed-use efficiency and survival still require improvement through better feeding and husbandry management.
