其他摘要：ABSTRACT Fasting is one of a method that used for measured growth of fish in a shorter period of time. This study was aimed to determine the optimum range of salinity for improve the survival and growth of glass eel Anguilla bicolor bicolor . It used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four salinity treatments and three replications, namely (A) 0 g/L, (B) 10 g/L, (C) 20 g/L, and (D) 30 g/L. The fish used were of glass eel A. bicolor bicolor with 0.15–0.23 g of weight. The experiment was conducted in an aquarium of 60×30×30 cm with a volume of 30 Liters and at a stocking density of 2 g/L for 14 days. During the maintenance, glass eels were fasted for have a significantly of biomass decline. Data collection was done at the start and the end of maintenance. Parameters measured included survival (%) and the rate of decline in absolute biomass (g). Physical and chemical parameters included temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH which were measured daily, while ammonia and alkalinity were measured every seven days. Result showed that survival was not significantly different between treatments (P>0.05), while the rate of decline in absolute biomass was significantly different between treatments (P<0.05). Treatments of 0 g/L salinity was the lowest survival than the others. While treatment of 10 g/L salinity was the lowest rate of decline in absolute biomass. According to research, the optimum salinity was 10 g/L, and after analysis with quadratic regression analysis, the optimum range of salinity were 5.00–13.40 g/L.
