Distribution of Dissolved Organic Matter from Fermentation Chicken Waste to Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch) Larvae Viability

Abstract

Until now, the nutritional needs of larvae have only been partially identified and much is still unknown. The nutritional needs of climbing perch larvae after the yolk has been absorbed requires a comprehensive study. The research took place at the Wet Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Achmad Yani University.The objective of this research was to study about climbing perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch) larvae viability on removal of exogenous food by distribution of dissolved organic matter from fermentation of chicken waste. Completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 6 replicates was used in this research. Application dissolved organic matter was 250 mL/aquaria (A), 500 mL/aquaria (B), 750 mL/aquaria (C), and without dissolved organic matter (D). The data is analyzed using analysis of variance (Anova), and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT).  Larvae survival rate for all treatments was very low. Each reached 0% in days 9 and 10 for treatment A and B. For treatment C and D in day 8. Anova result indicated that dissolved organic matter had significant effect (P<0.05) to absolute growth of larvae. DMRT test showed that each treatment had significant difference, except treatment C to D had no difference. The best growth for this research was treatment B.
