This study aims to analyze the growth performance of catfish (Pangasius sp.) cultivated in a tarpaulin pond system. Patin fish farming is one of the leading fisheries subsectors in Indonesia due to its high market demand and high nutritional content. The tarpaulin pond system was chosen because it offers efficiency in water quality management and disease risk reduction. This study was conducted in Gunungsitoli in December 2024, using an experimental method that included measuring fish length and weight during the rearing period. The results showed that water quality, including temperature (26-28°C), pH (6.5-7.5), and dissolved oxygen level (5 mg/L), played an important role in determining the fish survival rate, which reached 90%. Feeding strategies with a combination of artificial and natural feeds (silkworms, Artemia) have been shown to significantly improve fish growth. The main challenges in this aquaculture include water quality fluctuations, fry adaptation, and disease management, which can be overcome with aeration technology, probiotics, and natural immunostimulants. With the right innovations, the tarpaulin pond system proves to be an efficient and sustainable farming method in supporting catfish productivity.

The rapid development of information technology has significantly impacted the business world, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). However, business actors, particularly in the catfish farming sector, often face challenges in accessing broader markets and improving operational efficiency. This study aims to develop LeleQue, a web-based information system designed to efficiently support the management of catfish farming businesses. By implementing the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) method, this research outlines the system development process, from needs analysis to system evaluation The LeleQue application is equipped with key features such as financial bookkeeping, inventory management, debt tracking, financial reports, and discussion forums. The findings indicate that LeleQue provides an integrated platform to meet the operational management needs of catfish farming businesses. Additionally, the application facilitates collaboration among farmers through its community forum. This study contributes to supporting MSME digitalization, particularly in the catfish farming sector, to enhance efficiency, productivity, and business competitiveness.

Indonesia's significant potential in the fisheries sector, particularly in catfish aquaculture, offers substantial opportunities for economic development and business growth. This study analyzes the catfish supply chain from Easy Farm in Bekasi, West Java, to end consumers through middlemen and restaurants. Two supply streams are examined to evaluate efficiency, identify potential improvements, and provide strategic recommendations for supply chain management. Analytical methods include performance measurement, barrier identification, and evaluation of potential efficiency enhancements. Findings indicate that collaboration with middlemen and restaurants can expand market reach but also pose challenges related to supply quality and sustainability. Recommendations include investment in infrastructure and technology, increased collaboration with supply chain partners, and the development of sustainable marketing strategies.

Cultivating catfish is an activity that can be made a profession by  some people. As was done by  the East Java "Veteran" UPN KKN-T students, they analyzed catfish farming through the method of distributing questionnaires tocatfish farming business actors in Tanjungsari Village. Theytry to provide things that are more efficient in the context of catfish farming, students from the UPN try to share the knowledge they gain at the university to the village community where they do their service. One of the things that has been done to provide time efficiency for catfish cultivators is to provide an innovation called Budikdamber Autofedeer where this technology can be very helpful in terms of catfish farming. The results of the application of technology by UPN "Veteran" East Java KKN-T students can increase the income of people who are engaged in catfish farming because this technology can produce not only one crop but two yields in two different ways.
