Abstract

The need for Artemia sp. in Indonesia is very high and still relies on imported products. One of the drawbacks of bran suspension is the absence of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is proven to accelerate the maturity and reproduction of Artemia sp. The addition of bran suspension with Omega-3 may increase the population of Artemia sp. in culture rapidly. This study aimed was to determine the effect of different concentrations of Omega-3 in rice bran suspension on time of the first reproduction Artemia sp. and to determine the effect of different concentrations of Omega-3 in rice bran suspension on Artemia sp. nauplii production. This study used a Completely Randomized Design which was divided into five treatments and four replications. The concentration of Omega-3 was P1 (3 mL), P2 (4 mL), P3 (5 mL), P4 (6 mL) and using rice bran suspension feed control (P0) 100 gr/mL. Artemia sp. culture was carried out at a density of 100 ind/L. The results showed that the culture of Artemia sp. using bran suspension feed with different concentrations of Omega-3 can affect the first reproduction time of Artemia sp. The fastest first reproduction time of Artemia sp. was produced from cultured using rice bran suspension feed with a concentration of Omega-3 (4 mL) which was 394 hours.
