ABSTRACT
Patin fish larvae have very small mouths, requiring natural feed at the early stages of larval rearing. This necessitates alternative rearing technologies without compromising the quality and quantity of the fry. The aim of this study is to determine if Black Soldier Fly Larvae can be used as a base material for pond preparation in Patin fish rearing. The materials used include 76 grams of Black Soldier Fly Larvae, placed in a bag according to the Indonesian national standard for fertilization in Patin fish rearing (200-500 grams/m2). The bag was then placed in a 38 cm diameter basin, which had been cleaned and filled with 20 cm of river water. During the 10-day rearing period, water quality (pH, temperature, and DO) was monitored, water changes were performed, and PF 0 feed was provided. After 10 days, the fry was harvested to measure their growth in length, weight, and survival rate. Black Soldier Fly Larvae or used maggot rearing media can be utilized as a fertilization medium in Patin fish fry rearing, as the growth parameters of the fry meet the Indonesian National Standards.
