Hello my friends. I will explain about the coral trout grouper culture.

Coral trout grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is one of the economically important fish are likely either to be cultivated. This fish is popular in domestic and international markets. To serve the market demand alive grouper, grouper exports has increased dramatically by 350%. In 2007 the export of groupers through Bali province reached 1,181 tons, this shows that from year to year exports increased grouper. This fish is known as a type of fish consumption is a marine fish that have a fairly bright prospects for development. The market demand is on the species both within and outside the country is very high. Coral trout grouper culture has future prospects are quite good, because the mass of seed technology has been mastered, even developing farm level Hatchery Household Scale (HSRT) in Gondol, Bali. So the seed needs to be supplied from hatcheries with relatively uniform sizes of the same age so that competition can be reduced and feed crop size variation can be suppressed. Coral trout grouper culture has been carried out in several places in Indonesia, but in the process of development is still encounter problems such as limited seed, therefore, conducted research to improve seed production of feed and environmental manipulation. During cultivation is exactly what happened a few problems. Among others, the survival rate is cultivated mainly grouper coral trout grouper, at present still much lower than other marine fish such as grouper and tiger grouper duck. For coral trout grouper survival rate is only 10-30% in general occur in the field, sometimes even total failure / survival rate of 0% (interviews with farmers). Farmers generally stated that the biggest obstacle is the outbreak of disease. Mariculture site selection is done right, the first step of cultivation success. The choice of location is wrong otherwise lead to failure and mariculture not continue. In site selection are two important technical aspects of the feasibility assessment of land cultivation and cultivation aspects of carrying capacity. At this time most of the coral trout grouper hatchery farmers marketed began to be raised after the age of 60 days was the size of 3-5 cm. On the other hand cultivator enlargement in floating net cages wanted size> 12 cm make it more secure.In fish farming during the maintenance condition is usually small seed weak and susceptible to disease, and then developed intensively and then transmitted disease in healthy fish. Given the high mortality rate, the maintenance should be done in a controlled tanks using sand filters and water flow. Separating coral trout grouper done in a controlled combination will facilitate handling and control seeds. grouper fingerlings grow up to 33 cm

(weight 500 grams) within 2 years. According to observations made at the Center for Mariculture Research, Gondol, it turns out the seed size of 10.4 g / fish reach a size of 500600 grams in 9 months, fish growth may be influenced by cultivation conditions. The probability of success in coral trout grouper aquaculture KJA enlargement will be high if the aspect is essential to the proper and correct management of the following aspects: prepare the facilities at the selected location, select healthy seeds, provide quality feed and control diseases (parasites and bacteria) , accompanied by improved management of aquaculture as a whole.
