Iodine, essential for human health, is primarily obtained from salt products. Its deficiency can lead to various health issues, including goiter and stunted growth. Indonesia has long faced iodine deficiency, affecting both rural and urban areas. Despite efforts to address this, iodine-deficient salt still circulates in the market. Indonesia continues to import salt due to…

Catfish, renowned for its delicious taste and popular dishes like fried catfish or catfish salad, remains a favorite among communities. The versatility of catfish extends beyond its flesh, with almost all parts of its body, including bones, skin, and head, being utilized. Innovations in catfish processing are on the rise to maximize its potential, including…

In an effort to enhance the efficiency of tilapia cultivation, recent research offers valuable insights into the influence of stocking density on the growth and survival of tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis niloticus). This study explores how different stocking densities affect the specific growth rate and survival rate of tilapia, providing valuable data for more sustainable aquaculture…

Moina macrocopa, a potential natural feed for fish larvae, contains high levels of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, making it suitable for larval feeding due to its size (500–1000 µm), matching the larvae’s mouth opening. The ephippia of M. macrocopa, dormant egg cells, can be stored for long periods and hatched as needed, similar to Artemia…

Tilapia farming faces challenges due to slow growth compared to other species. Intensification efforts are crucial to boost production, often involving increased stocking density and artificial feed demand. However, this can degrade water quality. Biofloc systems offer a solution by improving water quality in high-density conditions. In a study by Dewi et al. (2023), different…
