Barramundi (Lates Calcarifer) is one of the fish commodities developed at the UPTD Marine and Brackish Water Aquaculture Center (Balai Perikanan Budidaya Air Laut dan Payau, BPBALP) Teluk Buo, Padang City, West Sumatra. This fish is a highly potential commodity for development due to its relatively fast growth and high environmental adaptability. This study aims to identify the growth techniques of White Seabass at UPTD BPBALP Teluk Buo, Padang City. The research was conducted from July to September 2025 at the UPTD Marine and Brackish Water Aquaculture Center BPBALP Teluk Buo. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with survey techniques to observe the growth techniques of White Seabass. Primary data were collected through observation and measurement of growth indicators, while secondary data were obtained from the Fisheries Service and related agencies. The results showed an absolute weight growth of 49.452 g, absolute length growth of 10.2 cm, specific growth rate of 2.3%, feed utilization efficiency of 68.5%, FCR of 1.46 kg, and a survival rate of 100%. The water quality parameters were within normal ranges: temperature of 31-32 °C, pH 7, and salinity 30-31 ppt.
