Budidaya Ikan Nila pada Saluran Irigasi sebagai Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa Purwasari dalam Industri Perikanan

Abstract

Purwasari Village is located in the Mount Salak area and has abundant water sources with great fishery potential. This potential is further developed by creating a tilapia fish farming programme in irrigation channels in collaboration with various parties, namely the Purwasari Village government, the ‘Mekar Sari’ Farmer Group, and the RW 06 Situ Uncal community. This aquaculture programme aims to empower the people of Purwasari Village to achieve the SDGs to increase community income, reduce hunger, and poverty. The tilapia aquaculture programme consists of making three bulkheads as tilapia aquaculture ponds in the Situ Uncal irrigation canal with 200 tilapia seeds 10-15 cm long spread in these ponds and making one other bulkhead to increase the water discharge and flow in the aquaculture pond. The Tilapia aquaculture programme in the irrigation canals has received great enthusiasm from the community of Purwasari Village as a step to increase the income of the surrounding community and as a means of education for the children of Purwasari Village in the aquaculture sector. Several community groups manage the ponds, such as the RW 06 youth group, the ‘Mekar Sari’ farmer group, and the RW 06 men's group. This tilapia farming programme is a step towards community empowerment by the potential of Purwasari Village.
