Abstract

This study aims to develop locally sourced, self-produced feed for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Kokoda District, West Papua, to reduce high production costs due to reliance on commercial feed. A survey of local raw materials identified the potential use of sago flour, sembilang fish, shrimp heads, and banana peels as feed ingredients. The feed formulation was designed with a protein content of 31% and tested through proximate analysis and a 42-day growth trial of Nile tilapia using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) compared to commercial feed. Results showed that self-produced feed resulted in lower weight and length growth compared to commercial feed, with higher feed conversion ratio (FCR) efficiency in commercial feed. However, the self-produced feed still demonstrated potential as an economical alternative with nearly equivalent fish survival rates. The study concludes that with further adjustments, self-produced feed can become a sustainable solution for tilapia farmers in remote areas.

Abstract

The Rainbow Kurumoi ornamental fish (Melanotaenia parva) is an endemic species of Indonesia, originating from Lake Kurumoi in Papua, and is currently experiencing high levels of exploitation. Immediate efforts to rescue and conserve the Rainbow Kurumoi fish are crucial to prevent its extinction. The development of Rainbow Kurumoi fish farming has significant potential, particularly in South Sorong, which serves as a center for the germplasm of the Rainbow Boesmani fish species. This study was conducted to evaluate the growth and survival of Rainbow Boesmani fish using different feeding programs and water quality management to enhance their production. The research was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatments tested were: A (pellets), B (Artemia), C (hair worms), and D (water fleas). Data were analyzed using a CRD, and if significant differences were found, a further Duncan’s test was performed. The results indicated that different feeding treatments had a significant effect on the absolute weight growth of Rainbow Kurumoi fish from the third to the sixth week. The feeding treatments also significantly influenced the increase in the absolute length of the fish from the first to the sixth week. The survival rate of the Kurumoi fish, when fed different diets, ranged from 70% to 83%, which is considered to be in the good category.
