Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the growth performance of Nile tilapia immersed in 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) and recombinant giant grouper growth hormone (rElGH), and fed a rElGH-enriched diet. A total of 200 tilapia larvae aged 10 days and 14 days post hatching was immersed in 1 liter of 30 g/L saline water for 3 minutes, then in freshwater containing either MT, MT+rElGH, or rElGH for 4 hours. The MT dose was 2.0 mg/L and rElGH was 2.5 mg/L. As control was treatment without MT and rElGH. Fish were maintained in 250-L aquariums for 6 weeks and then moved to net cages for 8 weeks of rearing. The rElGH-enriched diet was fed to the 6-week-old fish for a month, and then fed a non-enriched diet. Each treatment was triplicates. The result showed that the daily growth rate (DGR), biomass gain (BM), survival (SR) and feed (artemia nauplii) consumption during maintenance in the aquariums in the rElGH and MT+rElGH treatments were higher (P<0.05) than in the control. The higher DGR and BM at net cage rearing and lower feed conversion ratio (P<0.05) were also found in MT and MT+rElGH treatments. None of the treatments showed any difference in survival (P>0.05). Profits estimation in the MT and MT+rElGH treatments were 63.38% and 57.91% higher than the control. The present study concluded that higher Nile tilapia farming performance could be obtanied by MT immersion in the larval phase and feeding juvenile on the rElGH-enriched diet.

Abstract

Banggai Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is one of the endemic fish from the waters of the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi Province. One factor challenging the production of P. kauderni larvae is the male fish will nurture the eggs and larvae for 30 days, hindering next spawning cycle. One effort to overcome this problem an increase of male fish number should be performed, for example through sex reversal. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the hormone 17α-methyltestosterone (17α-MT) through Artemia sp. to increase male sex percentage P. kauderni. This study used a completely randomized design by testing four treatments namely feeding Artemia sp. which has been soaked with 2.0 mg of the 17α-MT hormone for two- hours given to P. kauderni larvae for 10 days (A); 20 days (B); 30 days (C), and without hormone treatment 17α-MT (control). Each treatment included control was performed in triplicates. The percentage of male sex was 93.33 % at 30 days treatment and was higher (P<0.05) compared to controls (53.3 %). Additionally, the results showed that daily growth rate, biomass gain and survival rate of all treatments were not significantly different (P>0.05) with those of control. In conclusion, Artemia sp. contained 17α-methyltestosterone enhanced male percentage of P. kaurderni. Keywords: growth, male percentage, Artemia sp., survival rate, Pterapogon kauderni

Abstract

Crown of thorns star (Acanthaster planci) is one of the aquatic organisms that contains protein and amino acids similar to fish meal, and has not been used properly for feed ingredients. This research was conducted to examine A planci flour as a feed ingredient on the growth of tilapia. The research method was a completely randomized design, consisting of 4 treatments with doses of A planci flour, 7 %, 14 %, 21 % and 0 % (control), given three replications. The results showed growth (daily growth rate and biomass increase) of 3.84 %, 3.81 %, 4.00 %, and 4.21 % per day, and 61.00 g, 49.33 g, 54.33 g, and 52.67 g. This growth did not show any difference between treatments (P>0.05). Feed consumption ranged from 129.20 g – 132.24 g (P>0.05). Feed conversion ratio and survival rates ranged from 2.13 – 2.75 and 94.44 % - 100.00 % (P>0.05). A. planci flour can be used up to 21 % as a source of protein for feed ingredients in minimizing fish meal as feed ingredients.Â
