1. A BRIEF HISTORY OF FARMING gourami

Carp is a species of freshwater fish consumption, wide flat body shape, the back and abdomen colored merahsawo berwarnakekuning-brass / silver. Carp is a family Anabantidae, descent and national Helostoma Labyrinthici. Carp waters originating from the Sundanese (West Java, Indonesia), and spread to Malaysia, Thailands, Ceylon and Australia. Carp growth is rather slow compared to other types of freshwater fish. In Indonesia, the Javanese call it carp, Gurameh, the Sumatran fish if, when, kalui, while in Kalimantan called Kalui. The English called it "Giant gouramy", due to their size until it reaches a weight of 5 kg.

2. FISHERIES CENTER

Regions in Indonesia that became centers of fisheries are: Sumatra, Java and NTB. While abroad, namely: Thailand, Japan and the Philippines.

3. TYPE

Classification of carp are as follows:
Class: Pisces
Sub Class: Teleostei
Order: Labyrinthici
Sub Order: Anabantoidae
Family: Anabantidae
Genus: Osphronemus
Species: Osphronemus goramy (Lacepede)

Type of carp that have been known to the public include: carp geese, carp Japan as, blausafir, paris, hybrid and porcelain. The last four has been developed in West Java, particularly the Bogor. Compared to other types of carp, porcelain is superior in producing eggs. If the parent hybrid in each nest only able to produce 2000-3000 eggs, porcelain capable of 10,000 items. Therefore, people are calling it a top of the pop, and at most favored.

4. BENEFITS

As a source of animal protein supply.

5. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

    Good soil for pond maintenance is the type of clay / loam, not pivot and contain enough humus. The soil type can hold a large mass of water and not leak so it can be made bund / pool wall.
    The slope of the land is good for making ponds ranged from 3-5% to facilitate irrigation pond by gravity.
    Carp can grow normally, if the location of maintenance at an altitude of 50-400 m above sea level.
    Water quality for maintenance of carp pond bottom should be clean and not muddy, not too muddy and not contaminated with toxic chemicals, and oil / waste plant.
    Pool with a depth of 70-100 cm and irrigation system that flows very well for the growth and physical development of carp. For maintenance has traditionally specialized in swimming, water discharge permitted was 3 liters / sec, while for the maintenance of a polyculture, the ideal flow of water is between 6-12 liters / sec.
    Water acidity (pH) is good is between 6.5 to 8.
    A good water temperature ranges between 24-28 degrees C.

6. TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR CULTIVATION

    Preparation Facility and Equipment
        Pool
        A common type of pond used in aquaculture carp, among others:
            Parent storage pool
            This pond serves to keep the parent in preparing for maturation of eggs and maintain the health of the mother, a swimming pool in the form of land which covers about 10 square meters, a minimum depth of 50 cm and density of the parent pool 20 females and 10 males.
            Spawning ponds
            Ground swimming pool that the width of 200/300 square feet and a tail carrier density ponds require 20-10 square meters (depending on the system of spawning). The requirement spawning pond is the water temperature ranges between 24-28 degrees C; depth of 75-100 cm of water; bottom of the pond should be sandy. Place the egg in the form of means of pasting injuk or twigs.
            Outdoor maintenance of seed / nursery pond
            Pond area not more than 50-100 square meters. Pond water depth between 30-50 cm. Density should be 50-50 tail / square meter. Long maintenance in the nursery pond / seedling between 3-4 weeks, when the fish seed measuring 3-5 cm.
            Swimming enlargement
            Rearing pond serves as a place to nurture and raise seed from the pool after the nursery. Sometimes this is necessary in the maintenance of some pond nets from 1.25 to 1.5 cm. Number of stocking of seedlings should be no more than 10 head / square meter.
            Swimming / place pemberokan
            Is the cleaning of fish prior to shipping As a way of making the pool are as follows:
                Measure of land 10 x 10 m (100 m 2).
                Make pematangnya with size; the top width of 0.5 m, the bottom 1 m and height 1 m.
                Install pipe / big bamboo for the income and expenditure of water. Adjust the high and low, so you can easily insert and remove the water.
                Cangkullah subgrade parent pool to loose, then flattened again. Soil will be soft after-watered, so that the holes will be covered soil, and water does not come out due to leak from the pores. Sloped bottom of the pool toward the exit of water.
                Make a channel in the middle of the parent pool, the water extending from the entrance to the exit. Channel width is 0.5 m and depth of 15 cm.
                Dry the pool master with 2 sacks of manure that is spread evenly, then entered the water. Let stand for 1 week, so crushed and fertilizer into the soil and forming moss, and test for leaks tidask pool. High water from 0.75 to 1 m.
        Equipment
        The tools commonly used in the business of carp hatcheries are: nets, waring (anco), hapa (box of nets / netting to hold while the parent or seed), seser, buckets, basins of various sizes, small scales ( grams) and large (Kg), hoes, sickles, knives and plates secchi (secchi disc) to measure levels of turbidity. While other equipment used to harvest / catch carp include Warring / scoopnet smooth, sieve panglembangan diameter of 100 cm, diameter 5 cm penandean sieve, place the fish store, kemplung cages, cages kupyak, fish bus (to transport the fish at close range ), kekaban (egg attachment to the place which is attached), hapa tricote of cloth (for hatching eggs in a controlled manner) or sometimes to arrest seed, sieve penyabetan of aluminum / bamboo, oblok / delok (for transporting seed), sirib ( to capture the seed size of 10 cm or more), anco / hanco (for fishing), lambit of nylon nets (to catch fish consumption), scoopnet (to catch fish aged one week or more), seser (point = scoopnet, but its size larger), rectangular-shaped nets (to catch the parent fish or fish consumption).
    Nurseries
        Parent Selection
        The characteristics of a good parent carp are as follows:
            Has the nature of rapid growth.
            Normal body shape (ratio of length and weight).
            Relatively small head size
            Orderly arrangement of scales, smooth, bright colors and shiny and tidakluka.
            Normal movement and agile.
            Sepertipisang beautiful lip shape, small-mouthed and not bearded.
            Aged between 2-5 years.
            As for the characteristics to distinguish the male and female parent were as follows:
                Female
                    Meninjol forehead.
                    Basic pectoral fin blackish dark light.
                    Brownish white chin.
                    If placed on a flat tail just twitched.
                    If the stomach does not secrete fluid distriping.
                Male
                    Prominent forehead.
                    Basic pectoral fin whitish light.
                    Yellow chin.
                    If placed on a flat tail will go up.
                    If the stomach distriping white sperm discharge.
        Maintenance of mains
        Parent-parent chosen (20-30 tail to the pool area of ​​10 m 2) is stored in main storage pool. Give food for the shelter. For any parent with a weight of between 2-3 kg were fed leaves as much as 1 / 3 kg per day in the afternoon. Bran supplement in the form of finely brewed hot water given 2 times a week with a dose of 1 / 2 blekminyak ground every time gift.
        Seeding
        When the ripening process Gonada (bladder egg and sperm) in the pool shelter has reached its peak, the parent immediately included in the spawning pond. As for how pemijjahan carp are as follows:
            Pond dried first for 5 days, fix the levee and the bottom of the pool.
            Do liming and fertilizing. Basic fertilization with manure doses of 7.5 kg/100 square meters and let stand for 3 days.
            Tanami bottom of the pond with algae plants anjng tail
            Fill water mixed with artificial fertilizers TSP gram/100 sebantak 500 square meters, let stand for 1 week and then fill the water to a depth of 75 cm.
            For the pond area of ​​100 square meters can be deployed parent as much as 30 females and 10 males. After spawning, the female parent 1-2 days will release its eggs into the nest sprayed later times by the male sperm that fertilized the egg. 20-30 days later, the parent-parent well maintained will spawn again and a few days later the eggs will hatch.
        Maintenance of Seedlings
        The seeds that have been aged 1-2 months since the hatch can be raised in nursery ponds or disawah as penyelang. In the implementation of the nursery is done drying ponds or rice fields, fertilizing, repairing dikes and filter installation or repair of the pipes at the door of income or expenditure of water. After preparation is complete, the seed sown with a density of 30 fish / square meter with a size of 5-10 cm seed in nursery ponds. Foods that can be given during maintenance are termites or leaves that have been softened with a dose of 20-30% body weight on average. Bran supplement in the form of finely brewed hot water is given 1 time a week with a dose of 1 tin of kerosene to 100 fry. The length of nursery about 1-2 months.
    Maintenance Enlargement
        Maintenance of enlargement can be done in polyculture and monoculture.
            Polyculture
            Dipeliharan common carp fish Tawes, carp, nilem, tilapia or catfish. This method is more advantageous due to the growth of carp is quite slow.
            Monoculture
            On the maintenance of its own carp, which spread the seeds must be at least 2 months old. Spreading the seeds of 500 tails (size 10-15 cm) required extensive pool of about 1500 square feet
        Fertilization
        Fertilization can be done with chemicals and manure. In general, fertilization only done one time in any maintenance, with a view to enhance the natural food for pets. The first stage of fertilization performed at the time the pool is drained. At this time a given fertilizer is manure as much as 7.5 kg per 100 m 2 ponds, water left little by little until it reaches a height of 10 cm and left for 3 days. In the next phase of fertilization is done using artificial fertilizers such as TSP or urea as much as 500 grams for every 100 m 2 pond. The second provision of fertilizer is spread out evenly into bottom and corners of each pond.
        Giving Feed
        Staple food of carp in the form of pellets which can be nourished, but in areas that are somewhat difficult to obtain pellets, leaves are an excellent alternative for food fish, such as: papaya, taro, cassava, genjer, purse, kale, sweet potatoes potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and dadap. Regular feeding with high quality and quantity can improve the growth of fish body more quickly. Parent-parent carp healthy and secure food can dipijahkan twice a year for 5 consecutive years.
        Maintenance Outdoor / Pond
        After every harvest, the pool is cleaned / drained. after fertilization was done in order to affect the fertility of the pond, so that when the seed is spread, the fertility of fish will be assured and rapid growth of fish.

7. Pests and diseases

    Disease
    Disorders that can cause fish kills is a disease called non parasiter disease and disease caused by parasites. Disturbances can be a non parasiter water pollution such as the presence of toxic gases in the form of sulfuric acid or ammonia; damage caused by the arrest or abnormalities of the body due to heredity. Abatement is to detect the state of ponds and fish behavior. It takes knowledge and experience enough to know it. sick fish usually becomes thin and slow movements. Other disorders of parasiter disease, caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and various other microorganisms. If the fish are exposed to diseases caused by parasites, can be recognized as follows:
        Diseases of the skin; in certain parts of red, especially in the chest, abdomen and base of the fin.
        Diseases of the gills; gill cover extends. Gazette gills become pale, sometimes seems a tinge of red and gray
        Diseases of the internal organs; swollen belly of the fish, scales stand. Prevention of this disease can be done by lifting the fish and do a drying pond a few days for parasites in all stages of death. Parasites attached to the body of the fish can be weeded out with tweezers. Treatment for fish that have been quite memprihatikan circumstances, can be done using chemicals such as:
            Treatment with Potassium Permanganate (PK)
                Provide water wells or other sources of clean water in tanks in accordance with the weight of the fish to be treated.
                Make a solution of 2 PK gram/10 sdt/100 liter or 1.5 l of water.
                Soak the fish that will be treated in the solution for 30-60 minutes with supervised continuously.
                If you have not healed completely, re-treatment can be done 3 or 4 days later.
            Treatment with Neguvon. Fish immersed in a solution of neguvon with 2 to 3.5% for 3 mernit. For liberation rantasan parasites in the pool, the material is dissolved in water to a concentration of 0.1% Neguvon then splashed into the pond that has been dried. Let stand for 2 days.
            Treatment with salt. This is done in rural areas that are difficult to get chemicals. Here's how:
                prepare a container filled with clean water. every 100 cc of water mixed with 1-2 grams (NaCl), stirred until smooth;
                diseased fish soaked in the solution. But because the drug is dangerous, just 5-10 minutes long immersion course.
                After the fish were immediately transferred to a clean container containing water to be moved further back into the pond;
                re-treatment can be performed 3-4 days later in the same way.
    Pest
    For carp seed is the main enemy of the disruption of wild fish / predators and some species of fish as pets Tawes, carp and Sepat. Another enemy is the monitor lizards, frogs, snakes and various birds of prey.

8. HARVEST

    Arrest
    Harvesting the seeds can be carried out after 1 month old seedlings. The trick with a little water dampen the temporary entry of water channels is minimized. Put a soft net expenditure on the door to accommodate the seed or it could be to dig a trench in the middle of the pond toward the hole expenditure. Well-preserved seeds can reach weights of 0.3 grams / fish at the time of harvest. Harvesting of carp very tersantung enlargement of the requested size of consumers. Harvesting is generally carried out after 2-3 years old fish, fish that were 2 years old has a length of about 25 cm and weighs 0.3 kg / head, while for 3-year-old fish about 35 cm in length and weight of 0.7 kg / head . For 4-year-old fish can reach 40 cm in length and weighs 1.5 kg / head. As for how to capture: disurutkan water little by little, arrests were made in the morning. Avoid catching the fish that can cause injury.
    Cleaning
    After the water receded, the seeds were herded into small plots. Then diserok and put in a harvest basket. Harvest time is usually not only carp are caught, so before the fish put into the pool pemberokan, must be selected and cleaned first. Cleaning seeds for 1 day. objective that the fish was not drunk when transported to the market. The duration of the cleaning tailored to the size of the seed.

9. Postharvest

    Handling of live fish
    Sometimes fish consumption will be more expensive when sold alive. Things to consider in order to fish up to the consumer alive, fresh and healthy include:
        In the transport of water use a low temperature around 20 degrees C.
        Transportation time should be in the morning or evening.
        The number density of fish in transportation equipment is not too dense.
    Handling of fresh fish
    Fresh fish is a product of rapid mas down quality. Things to consider to maintain freshness, among others:
        The arrest must be done carefully so the fish are not injured.
        Before being packed, the fish should be washed clean and mucus.
        Containers should be clean and enclosed carriers. To transport a short distance (2 hours drive), can be used baskets lined with banana leaves / plastics. For long distance transportation of used boxes and corrugated iron or fiberglass. Box of 50 kg maximum capacity with a maximum of 50 cm high box.
    Fish placed in containers or iced with a temperature of 6-7 degrees C.
    Use ice in the form of small pieces (ice detached) with a ratio of the amount of ice and fish = 1:1. Basic coated box 4-5 cm thick ice. Then the fish arranged on top of this ice layer 5-10 cm thick, then followed by a layer of ice again and so on. Between fish with a wall box or iced, as well as between fish with a lid. While the things that need to be considered in pananganan postharvest seed are as follows:
        The seeds of a healthy fish should be chosen that is free from disease, parasites and not disabled. After that, the new fish seed is inserted into a plastic bag (closed system) or cage (open systems).
        Water transport media used should be clean, healthy, free of pests and diseases and other organic materials. As an example can be used well water that has been aerated overnight.
        Before the fish must be transported seeds diberok advance for several days. Use the pemberokan A bath containing water and with good aeration. Pemberokan tub can be made with a size of 1 mx 1 m or 2 mx 0.5 m. By that measure, the tub can accommodate seed pemberokan goldfish tail number 5000-6000 with the size of 3-5 cm. The number of seeds in pemberokan should be adjusted to the size of the seed.
        Based on the long / distance delivery, the transport system of the seed is divided into two parts, namely:
            Open system
            Made to transport the seeds in close proximity or do not require a long time. Conveyance in the form of cages. Each cage can be filled with 15 liters of clean water and be able to transport about 5000 fry 3-5 cm in size.
            Closed system
            Performed for long-distance transport of seeds which may take more than 4-5 hours, using a plastic bag. The volume of transport medium consisting of 5 liters of water a given buffer Na2 (HPO) 4.1H2O as much as 9 grams. Method of packing fish seed are transported in plastic bags:
                put clean water into a plastic bag and then the seed;
                remove the air by pressing the plastic bag into the water;
                stream of oxygen from a tube is passed into a plastic bag as much as 2 / 3 volume of the entire cavity (water: oxygen = 1:2);
                plastic bags and tied.
                plastic bag inserted into dos with longitudinal position or put to sleep. Dos is a length of 0.50 m, width 0.35 m, 0.50 m high and can be filled with 2 pieces of plastic bags.
                Some things to note when the seeds reached their destination is as follows:
                    Prepare a 25 ppm solution of tetracycline in the basin (1 capsule tertasiklin in 10 liters of clean water).
                    Open the plastic bag, add water from local ponds gradually to changes in water temperature in a plastic bag occurred slowly.
                    Transfer the fish to a basin containing a solution of tetracycline for 1-2 minutes.
                    Put fish into a bath pemberokan. In the tub pemberokan fish fed sufficiently. In addition, treatment with tetracycline 25 ppm for 3 consecutive days. Besides tetrsikli can also be used other drugs such as KMnO4 as much as 20 ppm or 4% formalin for 3-5 minutes.
                    After 1 week of quarantine, stocking fish in pond aquaculture.
