AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus)

Abstract

Tilapia is one of the many fish cultivated in Indonesia. Tilapia is a type of fish that has fast growth, eats all food ingredients (omnivore), has wide adaptability, and is also tolerant of various environmental conditions so it is easy to breed. Factors that affect the survival and growth of fish are dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, pH, feeding rate and others. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of temperature on tilapia (Orechromis niloticus). The method used in this work is a systematic review, in which a number of scientific articles related to this research are analyzed. The results of this study indicate that temperature greatly influences many aspects of life, namely the level of survival.
