Growth of Chanos chanos with Artemia feed fortified vitamin C

Milkfish is one of fishery commodity that has big enough potency to be developed. But there are some obstacles in the development process, which one is feed. Feed becomes one of the limiting factors in milkfish cultivation, especially in hatchery business. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify the milkfish cultivation by using Artemia salina in capsule form with vitamin C cultivation as natural food of milkfish at the time of hatchery. The purpose of this study is to know how the effect of feeding Artemia salina in capsule form with the addition of vitamin C and to know how the effect of feeding Artemia salina in the form of capsules with the addition of vitamins to the growth rate of milkfish seeds. The design used was a complete randomized block design (RAKL) factorial pattern, with 2 treatment factors ie feeding time and Artemia salina dose. The data were analyzed using ANOVA at 5% significance and continued with the Smallest Differential Differential Test (DMRT).The result showed that the feeding of Artemia with the addition of vitamin C 400 mg/L at 08.00 am increased the average length and weight of milkfish juvenile after treatment compared to others time feeding. On the other hand, the best time feeding for the rate of lenght and weight of milkfish juvenile was observed at 16.00 pm.In general, it can be conclucded that the feeding of Artemia with the addition of vitamin C 400 mg/L at 16.00 WIB effectively increased the average length and weight of milkfish juvenile after treatments.
