The method used is an experimental method by applying a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, salinity 0 ppt, salinity 5 ppt, salinity 7 ppt, and salinity 9 ppt. The fish specimen used is 8 cm in length, weighing 4 g, were raised in a 54 L tank containing 40 L of water at a density of 1 fish 2 L<sup>-1</sup> and kept for 45 days. Feed with commercial pellet 3 times a day in at satiation. The treatment with 5 ppt salinity showed the best effects, yielding an osmotic performance rate of 21,66 mOsm/I H2O, absolute weight growth of 9,63 g, the absolute length of 3.54 cm, the specific growth rate of 2,99 %, the oxygen consumption rate of 0,410 mgO<sub>2</sub>/g body weight/hour and survival rate 100 %. The water quality is at a level suitable for the growth of <em>P. hypophthalmus</em>. It was concluded that 5 ppt salinity can minimize the value of the osmotic performance rate, increase growth rates, minimize the level of oxygen consumption and increase</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Asian Journal of Aquatic Sciences}, author={M.
