Increasing Dissolved Oxygen in The Floating Net Cage Area of Jatiluhur Reservoir, Purwakarta

Abstract

Abstract Dissolved oxygen is one of the important parameters in fish farming in floating net cage in reservoirs or lakes. However, dissolved oxygen will decrease due to upwelling. In this study, an aerator trial was conducted in floating net cages in reservoir. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results obtained show that the aerator can increase the level of dissolved oxygen in the floating net cage area with different magnitudes from 0.05 mg/L - 1.3 mg/L especially in especially at 4 and 5 m depths because output pipe length was 4 m for aeration.
