Domestication Strategies of Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii (Bleeker, 1854): Potential Candidate for Freshwater Aquaculture Development

Abstract This paper discussed domestication strategies of Tinfoil barb from different populations for evaluation potential fish candidate freshwater aquaculture development. Collection and maintenance wild-caught adult was the first step in followed by characterization fish, broodstocks selection maturation, control reproduction, larval rearing. The presented an excellent performance to adapt new environment. indicated survival rate acclimated captive environment about 69.28 ± 19.64% five weeks. Phenotypic revealed that collected Borneo, Java, Sumatra have morphological characters. Based on genetic characters, polymorphism percentage heterozygosity Borneo tinfoil population provided highest Java Sumatra. growth model all allometric negative indicating a faster increase length than weight. Reproductive fecundity female (2795-5099 eggs/gram) (1822-2976 (2210 eggs/gram). artificial reproduction broodstock also more other after hormonal treatment. Fertility hatching were 94,33+0,29 % 77,44+1,03%, respectively. had fertility 93+0,05% 73,67+3,15%, while it no obtained brood-stock group. Wild-caught best used regarding reproductive performances, response reproduction. Future studies need be concerned with acceleration gonad maturation improvement rearing technology as
