Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the nutritional value and heavy metal lead (Pb) content in suckermouth catfish (Pterygoplichthys sp.) egg meal as a candidate feed additive in fish feed. The fish eggs were obtained from fishermen's catches in public waters in East Java, then cleaned, dried, and processed into meal for analysis. The proximate parameters tested included protein, fat, crude fiber, and ash content using the AOAC standard method, while Pb content was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that suckermouth catfish egg meal had the following nutritional composition: protein 39.25±0.02%, fat 9.19±0.01%, crude fiber 2.36±0.03%, and ash 4.95±0.02%. This nutritional profile indicates that suckermouth catfish eggs are a high source of animal protein and have a low fiber content, thus having the potential to improve feed quality through the addition of essential amino acids and energy. Heavy metal Pb content was not detected within the sensitivity limits of the instrument, thus this product meets the safety aspects of feed ingredients related to heavy metal contamination. Overall, the results of this study indicate that suckermouth catfish egg meal has competitive nutritional value compared to several conventional feed ingredients and is safe from Pb contamination. Thus, this ingredient has the potential to be developed as an alternative feed additive in fish feed formulations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the protein content of suckermouth catfish (Pterygoplichthys sp.) egg meal and to evaluate its potential as a fish feed ingredient. Egg meal samples were analyzed using Uv-Vis spectrophotometry with a standard albumin curve approach using linear regression. The analysis showed that the protein content of suckermouth catfish egg flour ranged from 35 to 37%. This value indicates a fairly high protein content, suggesting its potential as an additional protein source in fish feed formulations. In addition, suckermouth catfish are an invasive species that negatively impacts aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, utilizing its eggs as a feed raw material not only provides economic added value but also helps control the population of this invasive species. The use of sapu-sapu fish egg meal can be a sustainable and economical alternative for providing feed raw materials, especially to support fish growth in intensive aquaculture systems.
