Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to analyze the socio-ecological impact
and to conduct simple business analysis of tuna (Anabas testudineus Bloch)
in a biofloc system. The average public perception was 4.3820, which when
compared with the range of Likert score values, is considered high. A high
score indicates that the public's perception of biofloc system aquaculture is
very supportive. The implication for the climbing perch waste is that the
biofloc system can be disposed into the environment and can be used to
raise fish and vegetable crops. The total production and equipment costs in
this study were Rp8,652,718, with total sales of Rp15.400.000. The income
obtained during one period (7 months) was Rp6,747,282, with an average
monthly income of Rp963,897.43. When linked to the 2024 South
Kalimantan UMR standard, to achieve an income of Rp3,282,812.11, a
minimum of four maintenance ponds with a diameter of 2 meters are
required under normal conditions, without disease attacks, and using the
high-quality female climbing perch seeds. Therefore, the climbing perch
aquaculture using a biofloc system is worth pursuing. The combined
findings from all research suggest that rearing 75-100% female climbing
perch fish with a seed size of approximately 7cm in a biofloc system, at a
density of 1 fish per 1-2 liters, is technically feasible, economically viable,
and environmentally friendly.
