PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI RAS (RESIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM) DAN DIVERSIFIKASI PRODUK PERIKANAN SEBAGAI UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KESEJAHTERAAN MASYARAKAT DI KABUPATEN MAGELANG

Abstract

Fisheries as a leading sector, have not been able to increase the productivity of aquaculture. Increased production if it is not accompanied by a touch of technology will have a negative impact such as an increase in fishery waste. One alternative technology that can be applied to this problem is the Recirculating Aquaculture System. An increase in production also demands creativity if there is an abundance of stock in the market. Product diversification is an effort to preserve post-harvest products, increase market absorption, and increase selling value. Several methods and approaches, namely: Surveys and field observations, Socialization, Aquaculture counseling to marketing strategies, Training on making tarpaulin ponds for hatchery and rearing activities, Construction of aquaponics construction, Training on processing fishery products, Mentoring, Monitoring, and Evaluation. From this activity, the community was able to apply RAS technology and processing smoked catfish using an oven.
