| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted as a preliminary investigation aimed at evaluating the growth performance of three local freshwater shrimp species collected from collected from the Batetangnga River, located in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. The aquaculture system used was the recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), engineered with the addition of shelters. This study used a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatment applied in this study was: A (Macrobrachium asperulum), B (Macrobrachium australe), C (Macrobrachium pilimanus). The shrimp were reared in aquaria measuring 40x20x25 cm at a density of 4 shrimp per aquarium. Each aquarium was equipped with shelter to serve as a hiding place for the test animals. The shrimp were fed with frozen moina at satiation level, three times per day. i.e. at 7 a.m., 1 p.m., and 7 p.m. The parameters evaluated were feed intake (FI), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), survival rate (SR), and protein retention (PR). The results showed the shrimp species demonstrated similar growth performance and survival rates. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), survival rate (SR), and protein retention (PR). The feed intake was higher in treatment A (Macrobrachium asperulum) than those in treatments B and C (P<0.05). | ||
