Abstract

The selection of a location for the development of aquaculture activities must meet the requirements by taking into account environmental carrying capacity. Tilapia seeds are one of the main factors determining the success of tilapia cultivation, so the use of quality (superior) seeds is very important to produce high productivity so that it can provide greater benefits for farmers. Community service activities aim to educate farmers about the importance of recognizing good tilapia seeds and acclimatizing seeds for enlargement in ponds. Community Service was carried out from April to September 2023 at the tilapia fish pond unit in Coppo tompong Village, Mandalle District, Pangkep Regency. The implementation procedure for community service begins with a location survey at the pond, counseling/lectures, and assistance to farmers. Final sampling showed that from 1500 tilapia seeds size 3-5 cm that were spread, 1288 tilapia were harvested with an increase in weight and length to 15-18 cm over 4 months.
