Mortality and condition factor of juvenile green catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus c.v) on different bottom substrat by . Dualantus, Ricky Djauhari

“…Thus, substrates of white sand, 1 inch piece of PVC pipes and tree roots submerged in water provided similar opportunity to green catfish to survive. The range of condition factor obtained was 2.3 to 3.9. That value was in the common range, which means that the weight gain was greater than the length. …”
