The effect of feed management technology (life and pellet feed) on the maintenance of mutiara catfish (Clarias sp.) in freshwater cultivation

Catfish is currently the flagship commodity to increase economic value in Indonesia. Catfish farming is very profitable because good broodstock maintenance will produce quality tillers. A good catfish broodstock should have a feed management system, thereby improving the quality of mains. The purpose is to learn about feed management technology (life and pellet feed) on the maintenance of Mutiara catfish ( Clarias sp.). The method is with a descriptive method with immediate data retrieval and secondary data. Life feed is observed by taking water samples and then observed using a microscope. Life feed that is found using a microscope is Spirulina sp. and Chlorella sp. Feed management on the maintenance of the broodstock of the Mutiara catfish ( Clarias sp.) is by feeding one time a day at a dose of 1.5 kg, the feed used is pellets PL 1 size 2 mm which has 33% protein and 5% fat, FCR which can be 2.43, absolute growth 15.42 kg, SGR 0.147 %, GR 2.4 gram/day, and SR 100%. Fish enlargement is a business activity maintenance fish up to the size of consumption. The feed is the largest component on the business of catfish enlargement.
