Abstract
Many factors influence fish growth like rearing by sex. This study aims to determine the growth of theClimbing perch of the different sexes. This research was conducted at hatchery business unit at MulyaPlaju, from May to July 2015. Fry spawning fish came from the wet Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture,University of Muhammadiyah Palembang. They were maintained separately between the male and thefemale and the gender-mix between male and female, reared in nets with a density of 30 individualseach net; each treatment was repeated three times. During the research, fry feed used artificial feedwith 30% protein compotition. The results showed that there was growth of female was faster than ofmale and of mixed sex. The growth of fish was 1,40 cm and weight of 4.56 gr, while survival rate ofthem was 100%. Keywords : growth, Anabas testudineus, mixed sex, mono sex

From the data obtained through subsequent calculation of variance analysis, it shows that the treatment toward the different sex fish had a significant effect on the survival rate (SR) of the Climbing perch
Summary
Climbing perch (Anabas testudineus ) is one of the native fish species Indonesia that spreads over several public waters on the island of Borneo, Sumatra, and Java. This fish is one type of resident fish (brackfishes) that generally lives wild in the waters of swamps, rivers and lakes. Climbing perch is favored by many people as the meat is good and tasty. In order to meet the demand for that fish, fishermen rely on catches from the wild season. This fish population declines because of overfishing. One effort which is needed to develop the fish farming is the provision of quality seed in adequate quantities and in the right time
