THE EFFECTS OF FERMENTED BANANA STEM (Musa paradisiaca) IN REDUCING ECTOPARASITE INFESTATION IN FARMED RED TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus)

Tilapia is a widely farmed freshwater fish due to its fast growth and disease resistance. However, ectoparasite infestations hinder its health and growth. Antibiotics are commonly used to treat these parasites, but their negative effects have led to the search for alternatives, such as banana (Musa paradisiaca) stem. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of fermented banana stem on ectoparasite mortality in red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The experiment included treatments with fermented banana stem at concentrations of 5 g.L⁻¹, 10 g.L⁻¹, and 15 g.L⁻¹, along with a control group. The fish samples were obtained from a goverment owned farming pond facility and a fish market with the average sizes of 10.2 ± 3.8 cm and 7.5 ± 1.3 cm, respectively. Farmed tilapia from the market pond had more ectoparasites compared to the fish collected from the government farming facility. The identified parasites were: Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Gyrodactylus sp., Ichtyophtirius multifilis, and Oodinium sp. The result showed that the fermented banana stem had different effective time in eradicating different ectoparasites ranged from 480-840 s for Trichodina sp., followed by 1380-1920 s for Dactylogyrus sp., and 2040-2640 s for Gyrodactylus sp. At concentrations of 10–15 g.L⁻¹, it significantly accelerated parasite mortality and increased tilapia survival rates by up to 80%. This study concludes that bioactive compounds in fermented banana stem effectively treat ectoparasites disease attacks and improve fish health.Ikan nila merupakan salah satu ikan air tawar yang banyak dibudidayakan karena pertumbuhannya yang cepat dan ketahanannya terhadap penyakit.

Abstract

Tilapia is a widely farmed freshwater fish due to its fast growth and disease resistance. However, ectoparasite infestations hinder its health and growth. Antibiotics are commonly used to treat these parasites, but their negative effects have led to the search for alternatives, such as banana (Musa paradisiaca) stem. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of fermented banana stem on ectoparasite mortality in red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The experiment included treatments with fermented banana stem at concentrations of 5 g.L⁻¹, 10 g.L⁻¹, and 15 g.L⁻¹, along with a control group. The fish samples were obtained from a goverment owned farming pond facility and a fish market with the average sizes of 10.2 ± 3.8 cm and 7.5 ± 1.3 cm, respectively. Farmed tilapia from the market pond had more ectoparasites compared to the fish collected from the government farming facility. The identified parasites were: Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Gyrodactylus sp., Ichtyophtirius multifilis, and Oodinium sp. The result showed that the fermented banana stem had different effective time in eradicating different ectoparasites ranged from 480-840 s for Trichodina sp., followed by 1380-1920 s for Dactylogyrus sp., and 2040-2640 s for Gyrodactylus sp. At concentrations of 10–15 g.L⁻¹, it significantly accelerated parasite mortality and increased tilapia survival rates by up to 80%. This study concludes that bioactive compounds in fermented banana stem effectively treat ectoparasites disease attacks and improve fish health.Ikan nila merupakan salah satu ikan air tawar yang banyak dibudidayakan karena pertumbuhannya yang cepat dan ketahanannya terhadap penyakit.
