Summary, etc. Hydroponic farming offers a sustainable alternative to soil-based agriculture, but its reliance on commercialized fertilizers raises environmental concerns. This study explores using milkfish (Chanos chanos) bone additives as an organic nutrient source in hydroponic lettuce (Lactuca sativa) cultivation. A controlled experiment compared an experimental group (receiving fish bone extract with commercial fertilizer) to a control group (receiving only
commercial fertilizers). Key parameters-including leaf height, width, count, fresh weight-were measured, and nutrient levels were analyzed using an independent t-test. Contrary to initial expectations, the control group outperformed the experimental group across all measured parameters, exhibiting greater leaf count, larger leaf size, higher fresh weight, and darker coloration. Statistical analysis using an independent t-test confirmed significant differences, suggesting that the fishbone additive did not enhance growth and may have even hindered plant development. Despite having balanced pH levels, the use of vinegar as an extraction base may have negatively affected nutrient availability or introduced compounds detrimental to plant growth. Future research should explore alternative extraction methods
such as fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, or microbial processing to enhance nutrient bioavailability. Additionally, nutrient content analysis should be conducted to determine
deficiencies, and different ratios of fishbone additives should be tested. Testing the extract on other hydroponic crops and alternative growing systems may further clarify its potential. By addressing these factors, future studies can determine whether fishbone additives can be refined into a viable organic fertilizer for hydroponic cultivation.
