Abstract
Catfish (Pangasius sp.) is one of the leading freshwater aquaculture commodities with high economic value and increasing market demand, both domestically and internationally. The success of catfish farming is influenced by the quality and quantity of feed, stocking density, and water quality. This study aims to determine the effect of two types of commercial feed (product A and product B) on the production performance and survival rate of catfish at Jombang. The research was conducted in six concrete ponds with a volume of 410 m³ using a descriptive-comparative method, applying a normality test followed by a paired sample t-test for production performance, as well as homogeneity and ANOVA tests for water quality. The results showed that feed type significantly affected fish growth. Feed product B resulted in the highest harvest (15.1 tons), but this was associated with larger initial seed size and higher stocking density. On the other hand, feed product A demonstrated better feed efficiency with lower FCR values (1.14–1.18) and higher survival rates (SR) ranging from 66.2% to 75%, compared to product B which showed higher FCR (up to 1.51) and lower SR (49.8%). Water quality measurements indicated that the temperature ranged between 29.8–30.3 °C, pH between 6.9–7.2, and DO between 3.7–7.6 ppm.
