Bronze featherback ( Notopterus notopterus , Pallas 1769) is one of Indonesia’s endemic fish that needs to be cultivated. Stocking density and the right type of feed are important aspects of fish farming activities. This study aims to determine the stocking density and type of feed that is appropriate for the cultivation of bronze featherback. This research was conducted from June to July 2019 in a fish pond in Sungai Geringging Village, Kampar Kiri District, Riau. The design used in this study was a completely random design with two factors (stocking density and type of feed), with three replications. Stocking densities were: 5, 10 and 15 fish/m 3 . While the types of feed included: commercial feed pellets plus vitamin E, trash fish and local mussel. Results showed that a density of 5 fish / m3 fed with trash fish produced the best fish growth in terms of absolute weight (6.98 ± 1.49 g), absolute length (3.61 ± 0.20 cm), daily growth rate (0.83 ± 0.30%) and larval survival rate (86.67 ± 11.55%).
