Abstract

Catfish is a type of freshwater fish that has properties and benefits for health because of its abundant protein and omega 3 content. The relatively easy cultivation of catfish makes the people of Sigumuru Village, especially the fish farmer group (Pokdakan) "Sigumuru Jaya" interested in cultivating catfish. The problem that occurs is that their income from selling catfish in the market is very minimal. So it is necessary to make efforts to increase their income. One effort that can be made to increase their income is through processing catfish into processed foods such as catfish floss. However, due to their lack of skills and knowledge about making catfish floss and marketing it, the PKM team offers a solution to implementing this PKM activity. The aim is to develop the knowledge and skills of catfish farmers in Sigumuru Village, West Angkola District, South Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra Province in processing catfish into floss and marketing it. The methods used to solve partner problems are socialization, demonstration, marketing and monitoring. The results of this PKM activity show an increase in the output of partner empowerment of 77.5% -90%, where the increase in partner knowledge, increase in partner skills, increase in partner product quality and increase in the number of partner products by 85%. The increase in the number of partner turnover by 77.5%, the increase in the type of partner products by 82.5% and the increase in partner income by 90%. The average increase in the output of partner empowerment obtained through this PKM activity is 84.29%.
