Abstract Hemibagrus nemurus is a freshwater catfish commodity that has high economi value and favored by the community. The purpose of study was to evaluate growth survival in aquaponics with application probiotics. research conducted Sukawening Dramaga Bogor. Using 6 units tarpaulin ponds measuring 20 x 3.0x 0.8 m filled 3 M water, each pool equipped an unit upstream system using lettuce eggplant. experiments, namely probiotics without replication. test fish used 16.5 sd 0.2 g/individu at dose 10 ml/M3. Given every 5 days. Fish were given commercial feed 4 % 50 days rearing then 3% until end feeding times/day (morning afternoon). parameters SGR, survival, absolute weight, FCR water quality. result showed probiotic RIFA can increase fish, improve quality plant productivity.
