Abstract

One of the primary challenges in the catfish cultivation industry is the uncertainty (mostly due to weather conditions, natural feed availability, pests and diseases), limited availability, and often poor quality of catfish frys. Fry quality is crucial in aquaculture, yet its reliability is hampered by the natural spawning process, which is influenced by seasonal variations. To address this issue, artificial spawning techniques offer a viable solution. This activity aims to comprehend and effectively execute the precise methods of artificial spawning for catfish, ultimately striving for the production of high-quality fingerlings. Data collection involved the acquirement of both primary and secondary data. The artificial spawning process encompasses container and medium preparation, meticulous broodstock selection and breeding, the artificial spawning procedure, larval rearing, and nursery management. Results from the artificial spawning efforts revealed a fecundity of 75,000 individuals, a remarkable 90% fertilization rate, an 89% hatching success, and an impressive 90% survival rate. Notably, catfish fingerlings were found to harbor parasites such as Gyrodactylus sp., Trichodina sp., and Dactylogyrus sp. This occurrence can be attributed to the high population density of fish, which contributes to a decline in water quality, emphasizing the importance of cautious management practices in aquaculture.
