Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the efficiency of fish feeding management through the implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method in Mariendal II Village. The main problem faced by fish farmers is the manual feeding process based on estimation, leading to inefficiency and suboptimal fish growth. The method used in this activity is a participatory approach consisting of socialization, training, technology implementation, and evaluation. The developed system considers several criteria, including fish biomass, age, population, water quality, feeding time, and feed type. The results show that participants experienced significant improvements in knowledge and skills in using the DSS. The system successfully provided optimal feeding recommendations and was integrated with an automatic feeder, resulting in more consistent and efficient feeding practices. This activity also increased farmers’ awareness of technology adoption in aquaculture. Overall, the implementation of DSS contributes to reducing feed waste, improving productivity, and supporting sustainable fish farming practices.
