RESPON FOTOTAKSIS IKAN NILA (Oreochromis niloticus L.) TERHADAP WARNA CAHAYA PADA RUMPON DAN SUMBANGANNYA TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI SMA
Light is one of the environmental factors that influences fish behavior, including Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). This study aimed to analyze the effect of light color on fish aggregating devices (FADs) on the behavioral response of Nile tilapia and to describe its contribution to senior high school Biology learning. The research employed an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments. Each treatment was replicated six times with 15 fish per replicate, resulting in a total of 90 fish. The observed parameter was the number of fish approaching the FAD during the observation period. The data were analyzed using a One Way ANOVA test. The results showed that the mean number of fish approaching the FAD under the no-light treatment was 3.33 ± 1.03, white light 7.83 ± 2.04, red light 9.00 ± 1.26, and blue light 12.67 ± 1.36. One Way ANOVA analysis indicated that light color had a highly significant effect on the number of fish approaching the FAD (p < 0.01). The blue light treatment produced the highest response compared to the other treatments, indicating a positive phototactic response of Nile tilapia toward blue light. The findings of this study were implemented in the form of a contextual Biology e-book for senior high school, particularly to strengthen students’ understanding of the nervous system and sensory system topics.
