Abstract

Crayfish is an aquaculture commodity that has high economic value, with growing international market demand. However, the growth of these lobsters tends to be slow, both in terms of body length and weight, which is often caused by limited quality feed and high production costs. The use of alai feed, such as silkworms and other organic materials, can be a solution to improve cost efficiency and support more optimal lobster growth. In addition, natural feed offers ecological benefits by reducing water pollution and organic waste, as well as supporting the sustainability of local ecosystems. This approach also has the potential to reduce the risk of disease in lobsters, as natural feed is more in line with their biological diet. By improving production efficiency and supporting sustainable livelihoods, it is an environmentally and economically sound solution for the aquaculture sector.
