This study aims to evaluate the effect of tilapia stock density in bucket using an aquaponics system (budidakber). This study used a completely randomized design with three replicates, namely treatment A (5 fish/80 L), B (10 fish/80 L), and C (15 fish/80 L). All aquaponics systems were planted with lettuce (Lactuca sativa). The fish were maintained for 56 days with aeration and feeding twice a day based on biomass weight. The observation parameters included growth performance, absolute weight growth, and specific growth rate (SGR). The results showed that treatment A (5 fish/80 L) had the highest absolute growth (13.01 ± 1.05 g) and SGR (1.24 ± 0.13 % day⁻¹) compared to treatments with densities B (10 fish/80 L) and C (15 fish/80 L) (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that a density of 5 fish is the optimal condition for tilapia growth in aquaponics with a volume of 80 liter

Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efek kepadatan ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus) pada wadah ember dengan sistem akuaponik (budidakber). Penelian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga ulangan yaitu perlakuan A (5 ekor/80 L), B (10 ekor/80 L), dan C (15 ekor/80 L). semua sistem akuaponik ditanami dengan sayur selada (Lactuca sativa). Pemeliharaan ikan dilakukan selama 56 hari dengan aerasi dan pemberian pakan dua kali sehari dari berat biomassa. Parameter pengamatan meliputi kinerja pertumbuhan, pertumbuhan berat mutlak dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik (SGR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlakuan A(5 ekor/80 L) memiliki pertumbuhan mutlak (13,01 ± 1,05 g) dan SGR (1,24 ± 0,13 % hari⁻¹) tertinggi dibanding perlakuan dengan kepadatan B(10 ekor/80L) dan kepadatan C(15 ekor/80L) (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan penelitian ini yaitu kepadatan 5 ekor merupakan kondisi optimal untuk pertumbuhan ikan nila pada akuaponik budidakber dengan volume 80 Liter.
