Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the extracts of meniran roots, stems and leaves on the hatching rate of Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) eggs through the dipping method. This research was using the experimental method. The results showed that the meniran root extract (treatment A1) produced the highest egg hatching rate of 92.03% and the lowest hatching rate occurred in the control without meniran extract (treatment D4) of 50.43%.
