Abstract

This study aims to determine the optimal feeding frequency for mud crabs (Scylla serrata) using a combination of sardine (Sardinella spp.) and blood cockles (Anadara granosa) in an apartment system. A completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments (feeding frequencies of 3×, 2×, 1× per day, and 1× every two days) was applied. Results showed that feeding frequency significantly affected growth (p < 0.01 or P<0.05) but not survival (100% in all treatments). The highest growth (35.33 g) and production (594.34 g) were observed in crabs fed once daily, whereas more frequent feeding led to lower growth. These findings suggest that feeding mud crabs once a day optimizes growth and feed efficiency in aquaculture systems.
