Pengaruh Penambahan Telur Semut Rangrang (Oechophyla Smaragdina) Pada Pakan Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Kelulushidupan Ikan Baung (Hemibagrus Nemurus) Dengan Sistem Resirkulasi
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding weaver ant eggs (Oecophylla smaragdina) to commercial feed on the growth and survival of striped catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) in a recirculating aquaculture system. The experiment was conducted from February to March 2025 at the Aquaculture Technology Laboratory, University of Riau, using a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and three replications: P0 (control), P1 (100 g/kg feed), P2 (200 g/kg feed), P3 (300 g/kg feed), and P4 (400 g/kg feed). Fish were stocked at a density of 20 individuals per aquarium, reared for 60 days, and fed three times daily at 3% of body biomass. The results showed that the addition of weaver ant eggs significantly affected growth performance and feed efficiency. The best performance was obtained in P4 with a weight gain of 13.26 ± 0.25 g, length gain of 7.07 ± 0.30 cm, specific growth rate of 2.74 ± 0.00%, FCR of 1.48 ± 0.02, survival rate of 98.33 ± 2.88%, and digestibility of 76.78%. Increasing doses consistently improved growth performance and feed efficiency. Water quality remained within acceptable limits, although the highest ammonia concentration reached 0.6787 mg/L. This study concludes that the addition of 400 g/kg feed yielded the best results and has potential as a sustainable alternative protein source in aquaculture.
