Pengaruh Jenis Pakan Alami terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Kelangsungan Hidup Belut Sawah (Monopterus albus)
Abstract
Eel (Monopterus albus) or Eungkot Kire (Acehnese) is a freshwater fishery commodity with high economic value that has great potential for cultivation. One important factor in the success of eel cultivation is the provision of appropriate feed to support growth and survival. This study aims to analyze the effect of providing different types of feed on the growth and survival rate of rice field eels. This study used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment A (commercial feed), treatment B (earthworms), treatment C (golden snails), and treatment D (guppies). Based on the results obtained, the highest Survival Rate was in treatment A at 98.33 ± 2.88% and the lowest in treatment D at 75.00 ± 45%. The highest Absolute Weight Growth was in treatment D at 24.18 ± 3.06 gr and the lowest in A at 5.34 ± 1.73 gr. The highest absolute length growth was in treatment D at 11.88±0.49 cm, and the lowest was in treatment A at 7.30±0.72 cm. The highest specific growth rate was in treatment D at 1.11±0.22%, and the lowest was in treatment A at 0.34±0.10%. The highest feed conversion rate was in treatment A at 12.99±5.71%, and the lowest was in treatment D at 4.65±0.89%. The highest feed utilization efficiency was in treatment D at 21.99±3.80%, and the lowest was in treatment A at 8.71±3.56%. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that providing natural feed in the form of guppies can increase the growth and feed utilization efficiency of ricefield eels (Monopterus albus).
