Abstract

Clownfish Amphiprion percula is a marine ornamental fish that began to be cultivated by the government in 2009. by the government in 2009 which has advantages in unique color patterns and high survival. Clownfish usually live on protected coral reefs at a water depth of 15 meters, clownfish also live in a salinity range of 30-40 ppt. This study aims to determine the survival and growth of clownfish at different salinities. This research was conducted from July to October 2024 at the Dryland Laboratory of Nusa Cendana University Kupang. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) method with 3 treatments and 3 replicates consisting of treatment A (30ppt), treatment B (25ppt), and treatment C (20ppt) each treatment consisted of 6 clownfish per aquarium. The parameters observed in this study were survival, absolute length growth and absolute weight growth.

The results of this study are the treatment of the effect of different salinity on the survival and growth of clownfish gives a real effect on survival and absolute weight growth with the best treatment in treatment A and B and where in each treatment does not have a real effect on absolute length.
