Development of Aquaculture Environmental Management for the Improvement of Production Capacity for Sustainable Aquaculture Activities

Abstract

This study is aimed to develop the environmental management of fish farming in order to support sustainable farming activities in the form of production of high protein fish pellets using local natural biotas, especially freshwater clams (Anodonta woodiana Lea) and golden snails (Pomacea sp.) and efforts to increase the carrying capacity of water environment of Rawapening. Biosecurity application includes the identification and prevention of disease, controlling the quality of the environment, and implement eradication programs when an outbreak of disease occurs. Physical, chemical and biological tests suggested that pellet using A. woodiana Lea and Pomacea sp. as protein sources is better than commercial pellet. Diseases that generally attack the culture of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Rawapening waters include parasite Trichodina sp, Trichodinella sp, fungi Saprolegnia sp, and bacteria Streptococcus sp.
