FPIK, SEMARANG – Fish farming has become the main choice in the fisheries sector, but the challenges of increasingly limited land and water resources often become an obstacle. Etc. Kutorejo, District Kajen (2 August 2023) In an effort to overcome these obstacles, the innovation of fish farming in buckets emerged as an attractive alternative. Training on cultivating fish in buckets was held by Diponegoro University KKN Team II to encourage the creativity of Kutorejo Village residents, especially housewives, and open up new opportunities for economic development.

Fish farming in buckets is known as fish farming in containers or limited tanks, which is a fish farming method where fish are kept in small containers such as ponds. This method is often used when land or water resources are limited, making it impossible to cultivate fish on a large scale. Fish are provided with an adequate environment for their growth and development. The buckets used are generally equipped with a filtration and aeration system to maintain good water quality. However, it is different from the budikdamber carried out by Diponegoro University KKN Team II, which uses catfish.
Catfish are considered suitable for cultivation in buckets due to several reasons, such as wide environmental tolerance, growth rate, varied diet, flexible environmental management, suitable body size, and availability of seeds. Catfish seeds are very easy to get because there are many markets. The low need for oxygen made Undip Team II KKN students choose catfish for the work program. However, despite its advantages in cultivating catfish, it is still important to pay attention to water quality, proper feeding, and good care to ensure the optimal growth and health of catfish.
Training on Fish Cultivation in Buckets begins with providing basic material related to maintenance, feeding, and others. After providing clear materials, we will continue with the procedures for making cultivation containers with buckets. The equipment needed to carry out this training is affordable and easy to obtain. The procedure is carried out using a container with holes in the bottom for draining dirty water and the lid of the bucket for airing the fish. Undip KKN Team II students carried out two types of fish cultivation in buckets. The first type of container is only for cultivating catfish, while the second type of container can be accompanied by semi-hydroponic planting at the top of the bucket by planting kale.
The socialization activity closed with the giving of door prizes. At the start of the event, each training participant was given a lottery number and a photo with all the PKK mothers, Posyandu Cadre Mothers, RT/RW Mothers, other housewives, and Undip Team II KKN students. It is hoped that this program will be useful and also improve the economy of Kutorejo Village families with the results of fish cultivation in buckets, which can be sold or consumed by households.

Expertise diving is a subject in the Undergraduate Study Program (S1) of Marine Sciences. This course studies the application of diving knowledge to various activities such as Scientific and Research Dive. Scientific Diving can be defined as a diving activity for various scientific purposes, such as underwater observation, underwater measurement, underwater data collection, underwater sampling, and underwater image/video capture. The application of scientific diving can be used by various fields, such as marine biologists, marine geologists, marine archaeologists, marine technology and instrumentation.
The output of this course is that students get certificates as Intermediate Scientific Divers and Basic Scientific Divers. The purpose of this certification is to add value and improve the quality of Marine Science student resources, especially as a scientific and research diver and increase awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. This certification activity is supported by the Department of Marine Sciences and the Association of Diving Schools Indonesia (ADS-I) and is carried out by a lecturer in the 2023 Skills Diving course, namely Dr. Ir. Munasik, M.Sc. and Dr. Agus Trianto, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D.
During the field implementation, this certification activity was led directly by Bonifacius Arbanto, S. T., M. Si. as a diving instructor from ADS-I. This certification activity was carried out from 5 – 11 June 2023 with a total of 31 students participating from the Marine Science Undergraduate Study Program. This certification activity took place in Karimunjawa with several different dive spots, starting from Menjangan Kecil Island, Menyawakan Island and Galean Island.
For Basic Scientific Diver, the material being tested is how to apply the Manta Tow method to quickly assess coral reef ecosystems. As for the Intermediate Scientific Diver, the material being tested is the implementation of the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method to assess the health of coral reef ecosystems as well as Monitoring Artificial Patch Reef (APR) which includes measuring the length of coral transplants, coral recruitment measures, fish and megabenthos data collection, and a review was also carried out on the physical condition of the APR building itself. The purpose of testing several methods of assessing coral reef ecosystems is to improve environmental conservation, especially in marine ecosystems.

Four lecturers from the Department of Aquaculture, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Diponegoro University, chaired by Dr. Diana Chilmawati, S.Pi., M.Sc., with members Dr. Ir. Diana Rachmawati, M.Si., Dr. Ir. Istiyanto Samidjan, M.S., and Ristiawan Agung Nugroho, S.Pi., M.Sc. conduct a community service program by introducing the program for Making Meatballs and Nuggets from Catfish and Vegetable Cultivation (BULEYUR) in buckets (4/6).
Small and Medium Enterprises Partners (UKM)/Fish Farming Group (Pokdakan) Siwarak Mina Sejahtera is an UKM/Pokdakan located in Blanten Hamlet, Nyatnyono Village, Semarang Regency which is a partner in this Undip FPIK Grant funding program. Based on the results of the visit, the Fish Farmers Group (Pokdakan) is engaged in catfish farming. The lack of knowledge to utilize it into ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat products is what makes Dr. Diana Chilmawati and the Team did community service in the area.
The program that is focused on this year as an output target is increasing the added value of catfish products from Budidamber results at the Siwarak Mina Sejahtera Pokdakan, Nyatnyono Village, West Ungaran District, Semarang Regency. Training and mentoring is carried out continuously by the service team with face-to-face meetings. The service activity began with the counseling process for making catfish nuggets and meatballs followed by direct practice by the business partners of the Siwarak Mina Sejahtera Fish Farming Group (Pokdakan). In addition, the service team conducted outreach and assistance in the form of creating Shopee, Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok Shop accounts for the sale of M-GOOD FISH products. In addition, the grant provided by the Community Service Team to pokdakan partners is in the form of a food processor to make it easier for partners to continue the business of making catfish meatballs and nuggets from catfish and vegetable cultivation in buckets which has been carried out so that the added value of catfish products is increased at a price of IDR 25,000/day kg to Rp. 110,000/kg.
