PENGARUH PERBEDAAN FREKUENSI PEMBERIAN PAKAN Tubifex sp. TERHADAP KELANGSUNGAN HIDUP DAN LAJU PERTUMBUHAN BENIH IKAN GABUS (Channa striata)

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine feeding frequency of Gabus juvenile (Channa striata) using Tubifex sp. The study was conducted from May 21^th to June 17^th 2014. In integrated Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, University of Bung Hatta, Padang, West Sumatra.
