ABSTRAK

The research aimed to  establish the accurate dose of catappa leave extract supplemented into feed to enhance fish growth.  The fish measuring 5-8 cm with an average weight of 2.93 g were obtained from Board of Freshwater Fisheries Aquaculture Tatelu. Catappa leave extract as much as A= 0, B= 5 g/kg, C= 10 g/kg, D= 20 g/kg dan E= 40 g/kg were added into feed and fed to fish for 21 days.  The fish wee fed twice  day at 09.00 am and 16.00 pm at 5% of body weigth a day.  Research result showed that application of 5 g of leave extract per kg of feed gave the best absolute and specific growth of fish.  Thus, supplementation of leave extract into fish feed was potential ti improve fish growth.
