- Abstract
Catfish breeding in Limpakuwus has been initiated by several breeder groups, but its development is still slow. The slow development is because of the low skill, knowledge, and technology of fish breeder. The catfish production is low, so this condition decreases the income of catfish breeders. Recently, catfish breeding has been developed using Biofloc Technology. This technology is proven to be able to increase catfish production. The target of the program is the catfish breeders in Limpakuwus Village, Sumbang District, Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The community empowerment model involves community participation, field supervisors, and Community Service Program of Community Empowerment Learning (KKN PPM) students. The method of the program is the application of research-based community empowerment models through training, application of research results, direct practice, and mentoring. The result of the program shows that the research-based community empowerment model through training, application of research results, direct practice, and mentoring can improve the knowledge and skills of catfish breeders regarding catfish breeding using Biofloc Technology up to 44% and 57.5% respectively.
