Abstract
Sepat Siam fish (Trichogaster pectoralis) is a black fish that usually lives in river waters and flooded swamps. South Sumatra is famous for some of the areas being flooded swamp areas and very suitable for the habitat of the Sepat Siam fish. The flow of the Muara Belida river, especially the Kayu Ara Batu Village, is a flooded swamp area where many Sepat Siam fish are found. This fish is one of the economical fish and is very common throughout the year. The research was conducted in 2021 in March, April, May, June and July in Kayu Ara Batu Village. Fish samples were taken from the enumerator^s catch and then the length and weight of 3037 Sepat Siam fish were measured and analyzed using Fisat Analysis II. The purpose of the study was to find out about the growth of the Sepat Siam fish in flooded swamps. The results obtained are that the infinitive length of the sepat fish is 45.68 with a value of K = 0.090, M = 0.33, Z = 0.35. F=0.02 and E= 0.06 . Thus, the exploitation rate is still smaller than the optimum exploitation value so that the fish catch is still good and has not caught more but is still in the good and controlled fishing category.
