GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND SURVIVAL OF MARBLED GOBY (Oxyeleotris marmorata) WHICH ARE MAINTAINED IN DIFFERENT COLOR CONTAINERS AND AERATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of container use and aeration on marbled goby's growth and survival. Evaluate aerated containers and optimal containers in the marbled goby culture, which are expected to increase their growth and survival. This study uses the experimental method Complete Complete Random Design with six handling and three replications. The treatment given is on the transparent container with aeration (A), transparent containers without aeration (B), black containers with aeration (C), black containers without aeration (D), blue containers with aeration (E),  blue containers without aeration (F). This research was conducted in March - April 2018 in the Aquaculture Laboratory, Bangka Belitung University. The main parameters measured were the growth and survival of marbled goby seeds. The results showed that the culture on a different color of the containers and aeration system did not affect the growth and survival of marbled goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata)  size of fish seed 11 – 15 cm fish density of 4 fish in each treatment.
