Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the use of Javanese turmeric (Curcuma
xanthorrhiza) as a supplement in feed for Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) farming to optimize the
growth, survival, feed efficiency, and profitability. This research was conducted in 40 days, using Asian
seabass seeds with an average size of 12.04 grams per fish. Four different treatments with two
replications were conducted. Each group was given different dose of Javanese turmeric in the feed (5%
for treatment A, 3% for treatment B, 1.5% for treatment C, and 0.5% for treatment D). Water quality
parameters were evaluated every week, including dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, temperature, and pH.
The results indicated that treatment A (5% Javanese turmeric) gained the most optimal specific growth
rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and benefit cost ratio (BCR) variables, whereas treatment B (3%
Javanese turmeric) showed the best survival rate (SR). Furthermore, optimization modelling indicated
the most optimal doses of Javanese turmeric
