Leaves of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and leaves Water Spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) as an alternative to Feeds for the growth of Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) Proponent: Anton Herrera, Bryle Gualberto, Rachelle Reyes, Jhon Bensig abstract The efficiency of Water Hyacinth and Water Spinach as a growth enhancer for the Anchovies was inspected. Through creating three set-ups with the same number of specimen but with different food type given to each, the results can be determined factually. The Anchovies were fed for about ten days and measured their lengths in terms of inches. The measurements were recorded daily for correct and truthful results. Controlled variables were also sighted such as size of fish bowl or aquarium, amount of water, source of water, and the temperature of the room where they were placed. After the span of ten days, records were tabulated and came up with a positive result. The growth rate of the said fish species was directly proportional to the amount of the plant species given to them. This simply means that the Anchovies reacted positively with the Water Hyacinth and Water Spinach. On the other hand, the researchers can come up to the thought that this research experiment can help on increasing Anchovies’ growth rate as well as to decrease the populace of Water Spinach and Water Hyacinth. And it proved that, these plant species were effective feeds for the growth of the used subject organism. INTRODUCTION Fishes, specifically Anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) is one of the needs of people in the society. This is where they can get food and income through fishing this type of organism. But, the problem was that these breed of fishes were getting few and smaller. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, bodies of water were highly covered with known organisms such as Water
