ABSTRACT

Kampar River is on important hobitot for Giont Featherback (Chitoto Lopis) in Riau Province, because Kampor River has a variety of habitat types for Giant Featherback : main rivers, creek, reservoir and swamp. Fish sompling for onolpis of fish condition factor done every three months in 20A9, in lvlay, August and November representing the dry season $nay and August) and rairry season (November). Factor analysis for the study conditions Giant Featherboclcs totol fish cought during the study, a total of 507 toils. Sizes distributions of fish belida were small size (401-610 mm), medium (611-750 mm) and large (750-950 mm) wos found at each nmpling stotion. Female fish condition foctor was higher than in the grwp of male fish belida medium ond large (> 610 cm). Fish codition factar values in the group sizes were olmost alwoys highest Giant Feotherbacks both male ond femote fish during the dry seoson, transitional ond rain. The anolpis of fish condition factor Giant Featherbacks by size in the standardizotion, informed that the value of the highest condition factor contained in the transitional seasons. Teso Stotion shows the value of the highest condition foctor of fish both males and females and the condition factor value anolysis, regordless of sex. Fish condition foctor values increose with ircreosing TKG, Wrticulorly in fistt femol*. ln mole fislt this tred is not visible.

INTRODUCTION described by Adjie and Utomo (1994), Adjie dkk. (1999) and Mbowo dkk. Kampar River is an important (2010). habitat for Giant featherback (Chitala Atthough the Kampar River is Lopis'1in Riau Province, this is because an important habitat for fish production in addition to the Kampar River has a Giant Featherback, but there is a large variety of habitat types in the form of gap of information about it. ln this Giant Featherback main rivers, creek, pdp€r, we studied the characteristics of reservoir and swamp atso have a big fish reproduction Giant Featherback annual production.
