Abstract
The use of probiotics is an approach that can be done to increase aquaculture production. This research aims to find out the optimal BIOM-S probiotic on culture media of Nile tilapia and the influence to survival rate and growth rate of Nile tilapia. This research was conducted by an experiment using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). This research consisted of five treatments and three replications, which were treatment A (control), treatment B (giving probiotic with 0,6 ml/L concentration), treatment C (giving probiotic with 0,8 ml/L concentration), treatment D (giving probiotic with, 0 ml/L concentration), and treatment E (giving probiotic with 1,2 ml/L concentration). The parameters in this research were the survival rate and specific growth rate. Survival rate and specific growth rate used data analysis with F test to find out the influence of each treatment. The concentration of optimal probiotic based on the results was 0.8 ml/L, it produced the highest survival rate for 81.67% and the specific growth rate for 0.039%. Based on these results, it is evident that the provision of probiotics can increase production in aquaculture cultivation. The results of this study are also in line with the results of similar studies on the use of probiotics in fish farming.
