Abstract

Research conducted at the Aquaculture Laboratory of the Fisheries Department, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, focuses on utilizing water hyacinth (Eichorniacrassipes) as aquatic weed vegetation as an alternative feed source to grass carp (Ctenopharyngodonidella). The primary objective of this research is to investigate the impact of water hyacinth-based feeding on the growth and survival rate of grass carp. Employing a CompletelyRandomized Design (CRD), the study comprises five treatments, each replicated three times. Parameters assessed include the growth rate and survival rate of grass carp. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, and differences among treatments were assessed via the Duncan Test. The findings revealed that feeding grass carp with water hyacinth at a 5% level resulted in the highest absolute growth (4.076 grams), and the greatest survival rate (95.23%).
