SUHU OPTIMUM UNTUK LAJU PERTUMBUHAN DAN SINTASAN BENIH LOBSTER AIR TAWAR Cherax quadricarinatus

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu air yang memberikan hasil terbaik bagi laju pertumbuhan dan sintasan benih lobster air tawar, red claw. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri atas empat perlakuan, yaitu pada suhu air 26°C, 28°C, 30°C, dan 32°C; masing-masing perlakuan tiga ulangan. Parameter yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan harian dan sintasan benih lobster red claw. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju pertumbuhan harian dan sintasan benih lobster tertinggi terdapat pada suhu 28°C, yaitu sebesar 1,15% dan 85,93%. Laju pertumbuhan harian dan sintasan benih lobster mencapai optimum pada suhu 28°C, yaitu sebesar 1,05% dan 85,93%.

The aim this research was to find out the effect of water temperature to the growth and survival rate of red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) juvenile. The experiment design used completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments of water temperature i.e. 26°C, 28°C, 30°C, 32°C and each of the treatments was replicated three times. Parameters observed are daily growth rate and survival rate of red claw crayfish juvenile. The result showed that temperatures were effected to growth rate and survival rate of red claw crayfish juvenile which expressed through quadratic response curve. The highest daily growth rate and survival rate of red claw crayfish fry was found on temperature 28°C C i.e. 1.15% and 85.93%. The optimum growth rate and survival rate was found on temperature 28°C i.e. 1.05% and 85.93%.
