APPLICATION OF  MUSTIKA CARP (Cyprinus carpio) ON PONDS AND FLOATING CAGE CULTURE: A NEW STRAIN OF KOI HERPES VIRUS RESISTANT  

Mustika is superior strains of carp with characteristics that resistance against KHV infection and has a high growth performance in the environment of cultivation. Mustika generated through program selection in carp strains Rajadanu assisted by markers of MHC-II and are now beginning to be developed in the community. Development of Mustika done through by dissemination and application programs directly to the farmer. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of production carp Mustika on pond at nursery stage ground and enlargement in cage culture at Cirata Dam, West Java, Indonesia. The method are :

Materials used in the form are seeds of carp Mustika resulted from spawning of the broodstock sized male 0.8-3,8 kg and female 1- 1.7 kg. Container nursery is earth pond in the form of an area of ​​1000 m2 calm water with a depth of 60-80 cm, as well as the size of the KJA 7x7x1,5 m in Cirata Dam for magnifying stage.

In the first spawning cycle, second, and third spawning obtained Mustika seed amount of 50,000 fish 2-3 cm in size, 380 800 ish 1-2 cm in size, and 80,000 fish in size of 2-3 cm resulted in nursery ground (Figure 1). Enlargement in 3 months at cage show that an average weight achieve 130.35 ± 38.12 g with a survival rate of 80%.
