Description
Summary:Water quality improvement was carried out by means of recirculation and bioremediation systems in grouper nurseries with high stocking density, thereby increasing production performance. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aquabusiness by analyzing the rise in grouper nursery stocking density using RAS and bioremediation systems. The test parameters consist of production performance, blood glucose levels, physic-chemistry-biology of water quality, and business efficiency based on productivity and business analysis. Treatment of 1,000 fish/m3 increased survival, blood glucose levels, total bacteria, Vibrio spp., ammonia, nitrite, and all productivity parameters. But it lowers all growth parameters, pH, and dissolved oxygen values. The recirculation system with bioremediation at up to 1,000 fish/m3 of stocking boosted the profit by 2.64 times. and 14.97% more efficient than 500 fish/m3 which could not be matched by the high production performance.
