Kulit pisang kepok mengandung nutrisi yang cukup lengkap dan dapat dijadikan tepung sebagai salah satu alternatif untuk bahan baku pakan ikan bawal. Penelitian bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan limbah kulit pisang kepok (Musa balbisiana Colla) sebagai pakan, mengetahui pengaruh dan dosis terbaik bagi benih ikan bawal (Colossoma macropomum). Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari sampai Maret 2023, lokasi penelitian di Laboratorium Kesehatan dan Bioteknologi Akuakultur, Ulee Lheue, Banda Aceh. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non faktorial dengan 5 perlakuan dan 3 pengulangan. Perlakuan A tanpa penambahan tepung kulit pisang, perlakuan B, C, D, E dengan penambahan tepung kulit pisang 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%. Penambahan tepung kulit pisang pada pakan berpengaruh nyata (P0,05) terhadap efesiensi pakan, rasio konversi pakan, dan kelangsungan hidup. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertambahan panjang mutlak terbaik terdapat pada perlakuan C 1,33 cm, pertambahan berat mutlak terbaik pada perlakuan D 2,85 g, dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik terbaik pada perlakuan C 1,79%/hari. Pemanfaatan limbah kulit pisang kepok dapat dijadikan alternatif bahan baku pakan dan dapat menambah pertumbuhan ikan bawal (Colossoma macropomum).

Kepok banana peel contains quite complete nutrition and can be used as flour as an alternative raw material for pomfret fish larvae. The research aim was to utilize kepok banana peel waste (Musa balbisiana Colla) as feed, to find out the effect and the best dosage for pomfret fish (Colossoma macropomum) larvae. The research was conducted from February to March 2023 at the Aquaculture Health and Biotechnology Laboratory, Ulee Lheue, Banda Aceh. The research method used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 repetitions. Treatment A without the addition of banana peel flour, treatments B, C, D, E with the addition of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% banana peel flour. The addition of banana peel flour to feed had a significant effect (P0.05) on feed efficiency, feed conversion ratio, and survival. The results showed that the best absolute length gain was in treatment C 1.33 cm, the best absolute weight gain was in treatment D 2.85 g, and the best specific growth rate was in treatment C 1.79%/day. Utilization of kepok banana peel waste can be used as an alternative raw material for feed and can increase the growth of pomfret (Colossoma macropomum).
