Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja aerator venturi dan menganalisis pengaruh penerapannya terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan pada budidaya ikan nila merah (Oreochromis sp.) di dalam bak bulat. Sebagai pembanding (kontrol) digunakan aerator blower. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga ulangan. Kinerja aerator diukur dari laju transfer oksigen standar (Standard Oxygen Transfer Rate / SOTR) dan standar efisiensi aerator (Standard Aerator Efficiency / SAE). Budidaya ikan nila merah berlangsung selama 8 minggu dan pada akhir pemeliharaan diukur kinerja produksi yang terdiri dari pertumbuhan, sintasan, dan rasio konversi pakan (FCR). Data dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja aerator venturi lebih unggul dan berbeda nyata (P<0>

This study aims to evaluate the performance of venturi aerator and to analyse the impact of its application on production performance in red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) culture in round tanks. For comparison, the blower aerator is used as a control. This study used a completely randomized design with three replications.  Aerator performance was measured using the SAerator Venturi; Aerator Blower; Ikan Nila Merah; Kinerja Pertumbuhan; SOTR; SAE.tandard Oxygen Transfer Rate (SOTR) and Standard Aerator Efficiency (SAE). Red tilapia was cultured for 8 weeks, and at the end of culture, growth performance was measured, including growth, survival, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Data were analysed statistically using t-test. The results demonstrated that performance of venturi aerator was better and significantly different (P<0>
