Increasing the growth rate of catfish can be done by adding attractant sources in fish feed. The study aims to analyze the effect of adding rebon shrimp flour as an attractant source on the growth and feed conversion of catfish. This study was conducted from December to February 2025 at the IPAL Building 4, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Padjajaran University. This research method is experimental with 5 treatments of rebon shrimp flour attractant addition levels of 0%, 2%, 5%, 7% and 10%. The parameters observed wereabsolute length growth, absolute weight growth, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR).The results of this study concluded that the addition of 10% rebon shrimp flour attractant wasthe best dose for the growth of catfish, which is able to increase length growth by 12.23 cm, absolute weight growth by 0.66 g, specific growth rate (SGR) by 2.43%/day, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) by 2.09.
