ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of differences addition of culture medium
concentrations on the growth of microalgae type Chlorella sp. Samples were obtained from
the Center for Brackish Water Cultivation Fisheries (BBPBAP), Jepara. This research was
conducted at the Laboratory of Nutrition and Natural Feed Sorong Marine and Fisheries
Polytechnic with an experimental method using four treatments with addition of walne
medium, there were A (adding only at the beginning of cultivation); treatment B (adding
every day); C (adding every two days), and treatment; D (adding every three days). The cell
growth performance was significantly found in treatment C with the addition of nutrients
every two days with a peak cell density of Chlorella sp was 2,628,450 cells / ml. There is a
need for mass culture assay to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency.
