The cultivation of Nila Larasati tilapia was carried out in Argorejo Village, Sedayu, Bantul, through a multiyear internal community service program conducted by Ahmad Dahlan University in collaboration with the Argorejo Village Government, represented by the Rejo Ayu Fish Farmers Group (Pokdakan). The program encompassed pond construction, seed selection, fish stocking, and maintenance. Two ponds were constructed on a 100 m² backyard plot, measuring 4 × 5 × 2 m³ and 3 × 7 × 2 m³, respectively. To prevent otter intrusion, a 2-meter-high galvanized wire mesh fence was installed around the 20-meter perimeter of the site, and shaded nets were placed above the ponds to protect the fish from predatory birds. A total of 3,000 tilapia (Nila Larasati) fingerlings, initially stocked at a density of approximately 200 fish/kg, were cultured under controlled feeding twice daily. After three months, the fish reached an average market size of 8–9 fish/kg. Staggered harvesting from the end of the third month produced 300–320 kg of fish per cycle, generating a gross income of IDR 8.4–9.6 million, with market prices ranging from IDR 28,000–30,000/kg. These outcomes demonstrate successful technology adoption by the Rejo Ayu Fish Farmers Group in Argorejo, Sedayu, Bantul, indicating improved community capacity in small-scale aquaculture. Nevertheless, constraints remain, including predation by Varanus salvator, as the current 2-meter fence fails to deter entry, and suboptimal stocking density due to financial limitations. To optimize productivity and sustainability, future efforts should focus on enhancing biosecurity infrastructure and expanding access to micro-financing schemes to support scaling and resilience in community-based aquaculture systems.
