ORGANOLEPTIC AND pH ASSESSMENTS ON BAUNG FISH (Mystus nemurus)WITH DIFFERENT MORTALITY PROCESS

Abstract

ABSTRACT 

This study was aimed to determine the different mortality process of baung fish that the different mortality process consisted of A₁ (dead flounder) and A₂ (dead pricker in Medulla oblongata). The assessment of the different ways to fish mortality consisted of organoleptic (eyes, gills, and odors) and pH.The assessment were conducted every 4 hours and the last assessment 12 hours were obtained organoleptic and pH A₁ and A₂ respectively, eyes 4.6, 5.3, gills 4.3, 5.3, odors 3.3, 4.3, and pH 4.6, 5.3. Based on the results, A₁ (dead flounder) had lower organoleptic and pH assessments than A₂ (dead pricker in Medulla oblongata).
