The high production of palm oil in Indonesia produces large amounts of waste, which poses a risk of environmental pollution. This study evaluated sea grapes (Caulerpa racemosa) from POME phytoremediation as an alternative raw material for Nile tilapia feed. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and five replicates applied: P1 (commercial feed), P2 (sea grapes from controlled environment), and P3 (sea grapes from phytoremediated POME). Parameters measured included proximate composition, specific growth rate (SGR), survival rate, absolute growth, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Results showed. The FCR value for the three treatments was >2, survival rate 80-84%. This indicates that phytoremediated sea grapes has potential as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative feed ingredient. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
