The content of organic matter can affect the growth of silk worms (Tubifex sp.). In addition, media porosity can also have an effect. This study aims to determine the effect of porosity on the cultivation of silk worm by using media of mud and sandy mud. The analysis used a complete randomized design method with three replications. The silk worm population in mud and sandy mud is 521 and 984, with ABW (Average Body Weight) growth of 0.3 mg and 0.1 mg. These results prove that porosity affects the population, whereas organic matter affects the weight of silk worms. So it can be concluded that the use of sandy mud media produces a higher population, but has lower ABW than the mud media.
Tilapia fish is a freshwater fish commodity that has the potential to be developed for fisheries business. Tilapia fish have many advantages such as easy breeding, fast-growing, and can survive at high salinity. To increase durability at high salinity it is necessary to prepare saline tilapia seeds produced from parentage that is tolerant to high salinity or through the salination process since the size of the seed. The purpose of this study was to determine the survival rate, absolute growth, and water quality during the adaptation period of increasing salinity of tilapia juvenile. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design with three replications. The salinity increase treatments used were A (1 ppt salinity), B (2 ppt salinity), C (3 ppt salinity), D (4 ppt salinity), and E (5 ppt salinity). The results showed the survival rate of tilapia seeds each treatment is treatment A (1 ppt) by 100%, treatment B (2 ppt) by 100%, treatment C (3 ppt) by 100%, treatment D (4 ppt) by 99.2%, and treatment E (5 ppt) by 98.6%. The results of each absolute growth of each treatment are treatment A (1 ppt) of 0.002 grams / day, treatment B (2 ppt) of 0.002 grams / day, treatment C (3 ppt) of 0.001 grams / day, treatment D (4 ppt) of 0.0007 grams / day, and treatment E (5 ppt) of 0.001 grams / day. It can be concluded that the adaptation of fish seeds at different salinities (1 ppt, 2 ppt, 3 ppt, 4, ppt, and 5 ppt) still shows a good survival rate, but the absolute growth of tilapia seeds on the adaptation of salinity increases of 4 ppt and 5 ppt has not been optimal.
Keberhasilan maskulinisasi pada ikan nila menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan hormon 17α-metiltestosteron (MT) lebih efektif dibandingkan suhu. Akan tetapi penggunaan hormon dengan cara pemberian melalui pakan belum menunjukkan hasil yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan perendaman larva. Padahal secara aplikasi melalui pemberian pakan lebih mudah dilakukan. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian kali ini akan dilakukan pemberian hormon melalui pakan dengan waktu percobaan pemberian pakan melebihi waktu kritis tertinggi, yaitu selama 30 dan 50 hari. D'Cotta et al. (2007) dan Ijiri et al. (2008) menyatakan bahwa waktu kritis untuk dilakukannya perubahan jenis kelamin pada ikan tilapia adalah 9-15 hari setelah pembuahan / day post fertilization / dpf. Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan periode waktu pemberian hormon 17α Metiltestosteron yang optimal melalui pakan untuk menghasilkan ikan nila monosex jantan.Perlakuan menggunakan hormon 17α-metiltestoteron dengan dosis 60 mg /kg dengan perlakuan lama pemberian pakan 0, 30 dan 50 hari. Pengaruh lama waktu pemberian pakan mengandung hormon di uji menggunakan uji anova pada selang kepercayaan 95%. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan 17α-metiltestoteron dalam sex reversal dengan dosis 60 mg/kg pakan dengan lamawaktu pemberian 0, 30 dan 50 hari menunjukkan adanya perbedaan jumlah kelamin ikan nila jantan yang dihasilkan. Akan tetapi tidak terlihat adanya perbedaan nyata pada nisbah kelamin jantan pada perlakukan 30 dan 50 hari pemebrian pakan. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian pakan hormon 17α-metiltestoteron melalui pakan selama 30- 50 hari setelah penetasan dapat meningkatkan nisbah kelamin jantan pada ikan nila lebih dari 80%.
