ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of plants and silica in Tor soro fish populations vaccinated with Aeromonas hydrophila antigen. Tor soro fingerlings with a size of 3.4 ± 0.15 cm were stocked in an aquarium measuring 50×30×30 cm with a density of 50 fish per aquarium. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments, i.e. positive control (C+), negative control (C-), vaccinated fish without enrichment (A), and vaccinated fish with environmental enrichment of plants and silica sand (B). Four groups were repeated by three replications. Group C+, C-, A, and B were challenged with A. hydrophila by immersion method on day 21st with a concentration of 10⁶ CFU per mL for 30 minutes, and the fish were reared in their original container until day 30. The results showed that environmental enrichment in the vaccinated fish group gave an RPS value of 67.22 ± 6.14%, significantly different than vaccinated fish without enrichment with an RPS of 50.28 ± 5.02%. Environmental enrichment did not provide significant differences for antibody parameters, lysozyme activity, respiratory burst and growth in Tor soro.
