Abstract

Chironomus sp. larvae or called as bloom worm contains high nutrient and caroten that are important to support fish and shellfish culture, especially ornamental fishes.  Larval Chironomus is abundant in environment rich of organic and inorganic compounds. This study was carried out to examine growth and productivity of Chironomus larvae reared in water containing 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 g of chicken manure per liter water.   The growth of chironomus larvae for 4 weeks rearing was reached a peak at the third week. Higher population, 19,680 larvas, was obtained by the highest dose of fertilizer.  Growth by length and weight of Chironomus larvae of all treatments was similar

ABSTRAK

Larva Chironomus sp. yang dikenal sebagai cacing darah memiliki kandungan nutrisi tinggi dan pigmen karoten yang penting untuk menunjang keberhasilan budidaya ikan dan udang terutama sebagai ikan hias. Larva Chironomus banyak terdapat di perairan yang mengandung bahan organik tinggi sehingga diperlukan pemupukan baik organik maupun anorganik untuk merangsang petumbuhannya. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pertumbuhan produktivitas larva Chironomus yang dipelihara dalam air yang mengandung 1,0, 1,5, 2,0 dan 2,5 g kotoran ayam per liter air. Pertumbuhan larva yang dipelihara selama 4 minggu pada media yang dipupuk menggunakan kotoran ayam sebanyak 1,0; 1,5; 2,0 dan 2,5 gr/l masing-masing mengalami puncak pada minggu ke-3. Populasi terbanyak mencapai 19680 ekor terjadi pada media dengan dosis pemupukan tertinggi. Pertumbuhan panjang maupun berat larva Chironomus yang dipelihara dengan pemupukan media yang berbeda tersebut masing-masing tidak berbeda nyata.
