Uji Plagiasi : Study of Reproductive Performance of Climbing Perch (Anabas Testudineus Bloch)

Abstract

Climbing perch called Papuyu fish in South Kalimantan Indonesia caught in swamp waters, is a fish that is very popular with the community and has high economic value. Fish reproductive performance is very important to obtain information on the natural conditions of the reproductive status of climbing perch fish in the form of gonadal maturity level, and fecundity. This research aims to analyze the reproductive performance of climbing perch fish based on the level of gonadal maturity, gonadal maturity index and fecundity of climbing perch fish (Anabas testudineus Bloch). The method used in this study was descriptive quantitative. Starting from the preparation of tools and materials, the measurement of fish reproductive parameters including gonadal maturity level, gonadosomatic index and reproductive fecundity were observed morphologically and analyzed descriptively. The results of the study, reproductive performance, the maturity levels of the gonads ranged from TKG II, TKG III and TKG IV. The gonadosomatic index ranged from 0.995-11.147%. are within the range of IKG values ​​of climbing perch fish. Fecundity in sample A ranged from 10,098-39,303 eggs with an average of 24,816 eggs and a gonad weight of 2.97g. Sample B ranged from 14,800-62,381 eggs with an average of 34,767 eggs with a gonad weight of 4.47g.
