Abstract

Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is one of the leading aquaculture commodities in Indonesia, with a production volume reaching 1.01 million tons, accounting for approximately 15% of the national aquaculture output in 2020. The availability of high-quality fry is crucial for the sustainability of catfish farming. This study aims to evaluate the effect of high stocking densities on survival rate, condition factor, and size variation of catfish fry reared in UFBs-RAS. This research was conducted at PUI-PT Nano Powder Functional Universitas Padjadjaran (Jatinangor) from October to November 2023. The study tested catfish fry with lengths of 3–4 cm and weights of 1.2–1.4 g with four densities (10 fish/L, 15 fish/L, 20 fish/L, 25 fish/L). The results indicated that stocking density did not significantly affect the survival rate (P>0.05), but it did have a significant effect on length and weight variation (P<0.05). The condition factor did not show significant differences (P>0.05) between stocking density treatments. Overall, a density of 25 fish/L yielded the best performance within the UFBs-RAS. Therefore, this density is recommended as the optimal stocking rate for catfish fry rearing in this system. These findings suggest that the application of the UFBs-RAS system provides a strategic solution for the aquaculture industry to enhance the efficiency of catfish fry rearing at high stocking densities while maintaining optimal water quality and growth performance, thereby supporting productivity and sustainability in intensive aquaculture systems.

Abstract

The increased demand for red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) production requires a sufficient supply of high-quality juveniles. Technological innovation is crucial for developing quantifiable, highly productive, efficient, environmentally sustainable, and ecologically sound juvenile production systems. This study aimed to analyse the effect of high stocking density on the growth performance of red tilapia juveniles cultured using ultrafine bubble technology in a recirculating aquaculture system (UFBs-RAS). A completely randomised experimental design was used with four stocking density treatments: one control treatment (4 fish/L with aeration) and three treatments under the UFBs-RAS system at 4, 6, and 8 fish/L densities. Each treatment was replicated four times. The juvenile red tilapia used in this study had an average initial total length of 4.34 ± 0.23 cm and a weight of 1.47 ± 0.31 g. They were obtained from fishpond research at the FINDER UCoE Experimental Station, Universitas Padjadjaran. The findings indicated that UFBs-RAS facilitated optimal production performance, even at the maximum stocking density of 8 fish per liter. The performance metrics comprised a survival rate of 98.75%, a specific growth rate in weight of 4.93 ± 0.062%/d, a specific growth rate in length of 3.88 ± 0.05%/d, a protein efficiency ratio of 2.48 ± 0.02, a feed conversion efficiency of 96.5 ± 0.58%, and a coefficient of variation of 33.7 ± 1.2%. These data validate that incorporating UFBs-RAS is a viable and efficient method to improve the quality and productivity of red tilapia juveniles.
