Abstract

Common cumin (Cuminum cyminum) shows a potential as a natural feed additive and immunostimulant. Cumin supplementation in the feed is expected to enhance the growth performance and survival of hybrid grouper (tiger grouper ♀ × camouflage grouper ♂ ). This research evaluated the effects of common cumin supplementation on the growth and survival of hybrid grouper and determined the optimal supplementation dose. This experimental research was conducted for 10 days using hybrid grouper juveniles with an average initial weight of 1.31±0.10 g fish-1, reared in 0.5 m3 fiberglass tanks at a stocking density of 14 fish per tank. Three doses of cumin supplementation were used: 0.5% (A), 1% (B), and 2% (C), each with three replications. Growth parameters, including weight gain ratio (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and survival rate (SR), were analyzed using ANOVA, followed by polynomial modelling to estimate the optimal dose. The results showed that treatment B (1%) achieved the best performance, with mean WGR of 117.4%, SGR of 7.732%, and SR of 78.57%. However, ANOVA test revealed no significant differences among treatments (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the polynomial modelling indicated that the optimal dose of common cumin supplementation ranged between 1.02 and 1.42% for all growth and survival parameters.
