Abstract

The problem in the development of Kissing gourami fish culture was quality seeds that cannot be available continuously. Purpose of this research was to examine the need for additional enrichment materials in feed that can optimize the process of gonad maturation of Kissing gourami fish. Treatment A=Commercial feed added with Vegetable Oil, Glutathione, and Egg White; B=Commercial feed added with Vegetable Oil, Vitamin E 300 mg/Kg, Glutathione, and Egg White; C=Commercial feed added with Vegetable Oil, Vitamin E 500 mg/Kg, Glutathione, and Egg White. and D=Commercial feed added with Vegetable Oil, Vitamin E 700 mg/Kg, Glutathione, and Egg White. The results showed that all treatments with the addition of glutathione and vitamin E fortifications with levels of 300 mg-700 mg gave the effect of increasing IGS, IHS, higher fecundity and larger egg diameter than treatment A. The amount of initial IGS increase in treatment A was 33.49%, treatment B was 172.52%, treatment C was 208.60% and treatment D was 691.20%. While the IHS value at the end of the study decreased in treatment A by 35.30% and treatment C which also experienced a decrease in IHS by 26.23%. While in treatments B and D there was a not too large increase, in the range of 42.56% (B) and 5.66% (D).

Highlights

  • Kissing gourami fish more often called biawan fish in Indonesia (Helostoma temminckii) is a native Indonesian fish found in several rivers in Sumatra and Kalimantan

  • [9] This study aims to optimize the gonads of kissing gouramy fish by giving artificial feed enriched with combination glutathione and vitamin E, so as to improve the quality and quantity of seeds produced

  • Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) and Hepatosomatic Index (HSI) The data for each treatment are presented in Table 1 below for the calculation of the initial Gonadosomatix Indeks (GSI) and HSI data

Summary

Introduction

Kissing gourami fish more often called biawan fish in Indonesia (Helostoma temminckii) is a native Indonesian fish found in several rivers in Sumatra and Kalimantan Such as the areas of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan and East Kalimantan. These fish live in rivers, creeks and inundation areas upstream to downstream, even in estuaries of rivers that are muddy and forested on their sides. This fish has high economic value, has aquaculture development prospects with great opportunities, the selling price is quite expensive, is an important. The Kissing gourami fish has great potential to be cultivated
