Abstract

Feed is one of the important factors and sources of energy needed by fish to support growth, reproduction, and survival. The high price of protein source feed ingredients is an obstacle in fish farming. Natural food that can be used as an alternative to fish feed is the larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) because it meets the requirements as a source of protein. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the combination of commercial feeding and maggot on the growth of Dumbo catfish (Clarias gariepinus). This study used a Randomized Block Design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The frequency of feeding is carried out 2 times a day at 08.00 and 16.00 Central Indonesian time with a dose of 5% fish biomass. The results of the study showed that the best combination of commercial feed and maggot was found in treatment 3 (P3) with a combination of 50% commercial feed and 50% maggot, with an average length of 144.03 mm and an average weight of 61.11 gr.
