Judul: Tingkat Kelahiran Ikan Plati Sunset Xiphophorus maculatus (Günther, 1866) pada Beberapa Tingkat Suhu Air
Abstrak: Ikan plati merupakan ikan hias air tawar yang bereproduksi dengan cara melahirkan (viviparous) dalam beberapa waktu. Memproduksi ikan plati dalam skala besar ternyata dihadapkan pada kendala yang besar, yaitu belum ada teknologi kelahiran anak serentak dalam satu waktu. Hal ini berdampak pada umur anak ikan tidak seragam dan pola tanam produksi terganggu, sehingga berujung pada ketidakefisienan dalam produksi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan upaya penyerentakkan proses kelahiran oleh induk plati melalui rangsangan eksternal berupa peningkatan suhu secara mendadak. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan faktorial dengan empat perlakuan sebanyak tiga ulangan. Perlakuan kenaikan suhu yang diberikan adalah 30-32°C selama 12 dan 24 jam. Hasil yang diperoleh perlakuan kenaikan suhu ke 30°C selama 12 jam perlakuan memberikan tingkat induk melahirkan tertinggi.
