The aim of this research was to use tilapia farming waste as a nutrient for plant growth in recirculation systems in order to make use of water efficiently and to reduce pollution materials entering the aquatic environment. Aquaculture wastes such as residual feed and faeces, after experiencing decomposition, can be utilized as a nutrient supply for plants. During the 35 days of study, butterhead lettuce could grow well relying on the supply of nutrients from fish farming waste. Relative growth (RGR) of P2 treatment (10 pot plants) was 0.07 ± 0.02. It was almost the same as in the treatment of P3 (20 pot plants) amounted to 0.07 ± 0.01. Similarly, the specific growth of butterhead was of 7.49 ± 1.21 in P2 and 6.86 ± 1.02 in P3. The use of tilapia fish farming waste as a nutrient on water recirculation system was able to support butterhead lettuce growth.

The aim of this research was to use tilapia farming waste as a nutrient for plant growth in recirculation systems in order to make use of water efficiently and to reduce pollution materials entering the aquatic environment. Aquaculture wastes such as residual feed and faeces, after experiencing decomposition, can be utilized as a nutrient supply for plants. During the 35 days of study, butterhead lettuce could grow well relying on the supply of nutrients from fish farming waste. Relative growth (RGR) of P2 treatment (10 pot plants) was 0.07 ± 0.02. It was almost the same as in the treatment of P3 (20 pot plants) amounted to 0.07 ± 0.01. Similarly, the specific growth of butterhead was of 7.49 ± 1.21 in P2 and 6.86 ± 1.02 in P3. The use of tilapia fish farming waste as a nutrient on water recirculation system was able to support butterhead lettuce growth.
