KEYWORDS
TOPICS
ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for snakehead fish Channa striata consumption and the efforts to sustain
its production has driven the need to develop efficient and environmentally friendly aquaculture
technologies. As an innovative farming technique, aquaponics achieves these goals by mitigating
emissions, optimizing resource efficiency through water reuse, and fostering economic benefits through
sustainable cultivation of fish and plants. This study assesses the impact of lettuce (A), pak choi (B),
and mustard greens (C) on water quality, hemato-biochemical parameters, and production performance
of snakehead fish cultured in aquaponic systems. The research findings conclude that using different
plant species significantly impacted water quality, nitrogen-oxidizing bacteria abundance, hematobiochemical
parameters, and production performance during the study. Treatment A resulted
in the highest production performance of snakehead fish with a survival rate (SR), weight-specific
growth rate (SGRW), length-specific growth rate (SGRL), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) measuring
90.33±2.08%, 3.37±0.22% day-1, 1.23±0.10% day-1, and 0.79±0.05, respectively. Treatment A also yielded
lower stress levels and improved water quality. The better nitrogen retention (NR) and phosphorus
retention (PR) by lettuce plants, reaching 87.08±0.56% and 11.75±0.19%, respectively, led to the highest plant productivity. The results indicate lettuce’s potential as a promising phytoremediation plant for
future snakehead fish nursery cultivation.
