Effect of electrical field on gonadal development of goldfish in saline media
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electric field exposure duration at the voltage of 10 volt on goldfish Carassius auratus auratus gonadal development maintained in 3 ppt salinity media. The experiment consisted of four treatments in triplicates i.e. control, two, four, and six minutes of electrical-field exposure. The experiment design used was completely randomized design. Fish used was female goldfish at the density of 4 fish/aquarium with an average total length of 12.27±0.05 cm and average body weight of 22.29±0.54 g. Result of study showed that the electrical-field exposure at 10 volt for all duration treatments in 3 ppt of media salinity did not give significant effect on gonadosomatic index (GSI) and gonadal development of goldfish.

ABSTRAK
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh lama waktu pemaparan medan listrik dengan voltase 10 volt terhadap perkembangan gonad ikan komet Carassius auratus auratus yang dipelihara pada media bersalinitas 3 ppt. Perlakuan pada penelitian ini terdiri atas empat perlakuan, yaitu: perlakuan kontrol, dua, empat, dan enam menit. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap dengan empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Ikan uji yang digunakan adalah ikan komet betina. Jumlah ikan yang digunakan adalah 4 ekor/akuarium dengan panjang total rata-rata 12,27±0,05 cm dan bobot tubuh rata-rata 22,29±0,54 g. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian medan listrik sebesar 10 volt dengan lama waktu pemaparan medan listrik pada semua perlakuan durasi di media pemeliharaan bersalinitas 3 ppt tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap parameter indeks gonadosomatik (GSI) dan perkembangan gonad ikan komet.
