Feed Efficiency and Growth of Vannamei Shrimp (Litopenaeus vaname) with Commercial Feeding

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of different commercial feeds on the growth and survival of Vannamei shrimp. The research was conducted in March to June 2022 at the Marine and Brackish Water Cultivation Fisheries Center, IV Jurai District, Pesisir Selatan District, West Sumatra Province. The research method used was an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments to be carried out in this study were: Feed A: Feeding with brand X = 100%; Feed B: Feeding with brand Y; Feed C: Feeding with brand Z. The parameters observed in this study were fish survival, absolute length growth, absolute weight and specific growth rates. The data obtained will be analyzed using analysis of variance to see the effect of treatment on test parameters. Based on the results of the analysis of variance showed that feeding with different commercial feeds had a significant effect on absolute weight and specific growth rate of vanname shrimp (P0.05)
