Abstract

Pangasius catfish (Pangasius sp.) was an important commodity in Indonesia. High demand in the market requires production to be carried out actively. Adding spirulina as a supplement to feed was a way to increase the growth of pangasius catfish seeds for optimal production. The aimed of the research was to determine the effect of spirulina on the growth of pangasius catfish seeds which were added to pelleted feed. The research used a completely randomized design with four levels of treatment. Treatment 1 (100g commercial pellets + 3g spirulina), treatment 2 (100g commercial pellets + 5g spirulina), treatment 3 (100g commercial pellets + 7 g spirulina), treatment 4 (100g commercial pellets + 9g spirulina). The parameters observed were growth of length, weight, survival, and water quality (pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen). The study results showed that the addition of 7 g spirulina had the best effect on growth with a length of 5.25 cm and a weight of 6.74 g. Meanwhile, the lowest occurred when adding 9 g of spirulina with a length of 4.08 cm and a weight of 5.78 g. There was no mortality during maintenance so that the survival rate of pangasius catfish seeds was 100% in each treatment. So the addition of spirulina to feed has an effect on the growth of pangasius catfish. However, if ftoo much spirulina was added, the effect will not be optimal.

Abstract

The research was conducted to determine the abundance, diversity, uniformity, and dominance of plankton in fish stomachs and waters that are expected to provide information about water productivity. The research was carried out in a tributary of the Ogan River, Indralaya District, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra at three stations, namely Indralaya Mulya Village, Tanjung Seteko Village and Muara Penimbung Village. The method used field surveys and location determination using purposive sampling with fish stomach contents, water samples for plankton observations, and water quality parameters. Fish sampling was carried out six times in 3 months, and water samples for plankton observations were one time per month, from April to June 2018. Plankton is found in fish stomachs and waters with a total abundance of 35.6 - 448.12 ind/l plankton consisting of 8 divisions with 11 classes. The plankton diversity index has moderate diversity and moderate community stability with a value between 1.11 - 1.45. The uniformity index of plankton in the fish stomach showed small uniformity of plankton (0.41-0.67), while in the waters, at station three and station 1 in April, the uniformity was high (E values 0.72 and E 0.93). The value of the plankton dominance index is in the range of 0.27-0.37. No species dominate other species or D = 0 (0.5), with moderately polluted water quality
