Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Rotary Drum Filter (RDF) in maintaining water quality in the Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for the cultivation of freshwater lobster Cherax quadricarinatus. The study was conducted in Cimahi, West Java, for 30 days using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and three replications, namely RDF filtration, mechanical filtration and control (siphoning and aeration only). The parameters observed included water quality (temperature, DO, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate), survival rate (SR), specific growth rate (SGR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The results showed that the use of RDF significantly improved water quality, which had a positive impact on lobster survival and growth compared to the control. These findings indicate that RDF has the potential to support the efficiency and sustainability of freshwater lobster cultivation.
