Abstract

This research was conducted at CV. Abundant Seed Facility (SBB) 88, Pasir Putih Village, Bungatan District, Situbondo Regency.

In one cycle it takes about 2 months with a seed harvest of 3 cm - 4 cm in size. The calculation of the hatching rate (HR) obtained was 80%, from 100,000 eggs that were stocked and hatched as many as 80,000 larvae, the yield obtained was 25,500 seeds from 80,000 larvae so the SR obtained was 31.87%.
