Abstract

This research was conducted in August-September 2022 which took place at the Bilih Fish Hatchery and Development Laboratory of PT. Semen Padang. The method and design used in this study is the experimental method, this study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments with 3 repetitions each.

The best 100% survival was found in treatments B and D. The best absolute weight was in treatment B (174.4 ± 5.09 mg), the best specific growth rate was in plant B (2.44 ± 0.229%/day) and the best absolute length was in treatment B (13.67 ± 0.88 mm).
