Abstract

This research aims to determine the application of different water currents in a round container that can provide the most optimal effect on the growth rate of giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) fingerlings. The method used in this research was an experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of three treatments and four replicates The treatment was the use of aeration stone in a round container A (control), B (water current 0.1 m s-1 in a round container) and C (water current 0.1 m s-1 combined with a venturi in a round container). The fish size used in this research was 2-3 cm obtained from Gourami and Nilem Breeding Centre, Singaparna, West Java Province. Fish were kept in water gallons with a volume of 19 L. Each gallon contained 30 fish. The feeding rate was 5% from biomass. The feed was given three times daily. Every ten days the weight data were collected and used for adjusting the feeding rate. The water quality during the research (40 days) was observed every seven days while survival rate, absolute weight growth, daily growth rate, feed conversion ratio and feed efficiency were observed every ten days. Based on the results of the research, the best reuslt was treatment C (water current of 0.1 m s-1 combined with venturi in a round container) had the highest survival rate (SR) of 58%, absolute weight growth (3.5 g), daily growth rate (1.69%), feed conversion ratio (2.01) and feed efficiency (50%).
