A Study of Water Based Cultivation Technique on Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus)

Abstract
Intensively swamp eel culture has not been developed in Indonesia. Limitation on eel culture assumed correlated to easiness on capture and a lack of adaptive technique could be applied in fisherfolk. The adaptation test of swamp eel on controlled tank and the water based cultivation on plastic tank and hapas settled in pond have been done. During both research, swamp eel were fed moisture commercial feed and natural feed mixture.
The result showed swamp eel adapted to clear water with varied shelter, such as pipe, aquatic plant, plastic fiber or without shelter. Swamp eel adapted to cultivate on plastik tank or hapas. There are no stress responses based on body color indication and blood glucose level. based on survival rate achieved, water based cultivation on hapa more suggested to developed than plastic tank. However, further studies should be done to establish a cultivation techniques especially on appropriate feed.

Fingerling Stocking Densities Variation on Eel Culture in Hapas

Abstract

Although mostly eel species found in Indonesian waters, currently there is no commercial aquaculture of eels in Indonesia. This is mainly due to a lack of applicable aquaculture technique to seed nursing and growing up. To establishing culture system of Indonesian eel Anguilla bicolor bicolor that could be applied in small scale aquaculture, we performed eel growing up in hapas settled in pond (hapa-pond) and in floating net cage (hapa-cage). The effect of difference stocking density on survival and growth was observed.
Fingerlings, initial body weight 74,07 – 86,02 g/fish, were reared at stocking density 1.000 g/m3 and 2.000 g/m3 in hapa-pond over a 3-months period and fingerlings, initial body weight 67,40 ± 17,36 g/fish, were kept at stocking density 2.000 g/m3, 3.000 g/m3 and 4.000 g/m3 in hapa-cage over a 5-months period.
At the end of the rearing period, no significant differences were observed on survival and growth rate between stocking densities either in hapa-pond or hapa-cage. In hapa-pond, survival and growth rate were 97,85 – 98,15% and 0,91 – 1,21, respectively. In hapa-cage, survival in difference stocking density were 66,34±5,26 %, 51,70±0,82 % and 56,52±25,46 %, respectively and growth rate were 0,83±0,01, 0,84±0,06 and 0,88±0,09, respectively.
