Catfish
farming
is a type of commodity that has the largest cultivation
output in Indonesia. In the period of 2017 - 2021 catfish
production showed a fairly good performance with an average
production increase of 4.13%. Based on data from the
Directorate General of Aquaculture of the Ministry of Marine
Affairs and Fisheries, catfish production in 2021 reached
1,253,114 tons and is targeted to increase to 1,592,554 tons
in 2022. Catfish production in Central Java in 2021 reached
164,608.29 tons, supported by Boyolali Regency which
produces more than 15% of catfish production. This shows
that catfish farming is a very profitable opportunity to
fulfill the domestic export and consumption market.

Bengawan UV Roboboat Team applied the use of technology that
had previously been researched to participate in competitions
to our partners. The use of technology in the form of Camera
Vision aims to be able to monitor catfish farming ponds which
are functioned for monitoring from pest attacks. Pest
expulsion is also carried out automatically from the Sound
System. This sound system serves to make a sound to repel
pests. This system is considered more efficient when the
farmer is not in the cultivation pond and when there are pests
that are threatening the catfish farming process. In addition,
there are also other sensors to complete the needs of
monitoring the quality of water in ponds which aims to prevent
catfish deaths due to poor water quality. So that diseases or
adverse effects of existing water quality can be minimized and
water quality can improve.

This year the Bengawan UV Roboboat Team continued and applied our research to our partner last year, the Karya Mina Utama Group. The Karya Mina Utama group is a catfish production village in Tegalrejo village, Boyolali regency. This company was established in 1996 and already certified as a fish farming company from The Ministry of Marine and Fishery of Indonesia. This local business is known for its great quality and its relatively high production of catfish. With 40 personnel, Karya Mina Utama can produce up to 10 tonnes of catfish.
Introduce our technology partner: Dimonitor Indonesia is a startup engaged in technology and aquaculture consulting. This year we are working together to develop technology devices aquaculture that monitors water quality with indicators of pH, temperature, DO, and water brightness. It is hoped that this technology can help the cultivator in solving water quality problems that affect the achievement of fish farming Feed Convrersion Rasio (FCR).
