Introduction Trenceng Village, located in the Sumbergempol District of Tulungagung Regency, serves as a prominent hub for breeders of decorative fish.
According to the 2021 report from the Tulungagung Regency Fisheries Service, this community is responsible for approximately 60-70% of the ornamental fish production in Tulungagung Regency.
The ornamental bred fish include koi fish, goldfish, and guppy fish.
Koi fishes are the primary species of ornamental fish that are intentionally developed.
Trenceng Village exhibits many potentials in ornamental fish breeding, which can be further enhanced.
The available land capacity for potential fish breeding ponds remains substantial.
Figure 1 illustrates the precise placement of the current pool area.
Furthermore, the ornamental fish breeding region is in a relatively untouched environment, allowing fish farmers to easily obtain raw materials from the surrounding areas.

The primary pisciculture enterprise in the area comprises approximately 15-20 They possess the drive and capability to improve the characteristics of their resources collaboratively.
They created technologies for purifying and purifying water, circulating water, and providing food for fish in a group.
Figure 2 illustrates the pond for cultivating fish seeds, fitted with lighting, filtration systems, and a water circulation motor.
The current manufacturing or breeding of ornamental fish seeds is not a significant issue.
Nevertheless, ornamental fish producers encounter a reliance on fish food sourced only from fish feed companies.
The need for fish feed, averaging 3000-4000 packs of pellets each month for approximately 15-20 farmers, does not hinder physical accessibility or price.
This condition is triggered by the decrease in farmers' monthly revenue.
Farmers' monthly revenue decline is primarily attributed to the volatility in ornamental fish output prices.
The declining price of ornamental fish has led to a corresponding decrease in farmers' revenue.
Intensifying rivalry among ornamental fish producers is leading to a decline in market pricing (Tribuzy-Neto et al.
In addition, there have been instances where unhealthy competition has arisen among different groups of ornamental fish breeders, leading to social conflict (Huntingford, 2020.

Khud stated that the primary factor that may decrease production expenses is the expenditure on fish feed.
Ornamental fish producers concur that manufacturing their fish feed can reduce production expenses and become independent from factory-made feed.
According to the sequence of events described above, the partner (Karang Taruna TARUNA BAKTI) is currently experiencing pressure on the market price of ornamental fish, which is changing but generally decreasing.
Fish growers are facing additional challenges due to the exorbitant costs of commercially produced fish feed.
The fundamental issues business partners encounter in sustaining their operations revolve around these two factors.
Consequently, the RG Economic Community service team cooperates with BPR Sukadana, an additional partner, to facilitate the ongoing breeding of this attractive fish.
Karang Taruna TARUNA BAKTI stated that achieving self-sufficiency in fish food production would alleviate the burden of issues, particularly the reliance on factory-made feed.
Farmers can enhance breeding and achieve high-quality ornamental fish output by reducing production costs.

Initially, a lecture is delivered regarding the imperative nature of autonomous fish feed manufacturing and the challenges faced by the fish feed industry in Indonesia and globally.
This lecture also addresses the role of the service provider, fish farmers, and the geographical extent of their The second step involves engaging in a debate or question-and-answer session about alternative fish-producing technologies or equipment and their management.
This conversation aims to help participants achieve self-sufficiency in food production.
The last stage showcases the utilization of technology or machinery to produce fish feed This demonstration encompasses the specific demographic, the mechanism employed, and the monitoring process.
Therefore, participants can gain a firsthand comprehension of the technology's or machine's functioning in the context of independent fish feed production.
Result The establishment of this service system is a direct response to the goal of achieving food independence for ornamental fish, as previously discussed.
The primary component of fisheries' sustainability in Trenceng Village.
Sumbergempol, and Tulungagung Regency is the presence of advanced technology for producing decorative fish food.
Due to the decreasing trend in ornamental fish prices and the relatively expensive feed cost, ornamental fish farmers must adopt alternative technologies for producing fish feed.
Ornamental fish growers are anticipated to possess the capability to manufacture their fish feed to decrease production expenses independently.
This becomes pivotal when they also encounter product sales or revenue that is relatively volatile and even tend to decrease.
The development of alternative fish-feeding technology is anticipated to achieve food self-sufficiency by providing affordable and readily available options to suit the dietary requirements of ornamental fish growers.
The initial outcome of this initiative was the successful observation of the residents of Trenceng Village concerning the fish food self-sufficiency system.

Trenceng Village already possesses autonomous fish feed production equipment.
Nevertheless, this instrument necessitates technical enhancements to function as an operational production tool.
In addition, a range of outreach events were organized to enhance the enthusiasm of village inhabitants in promoting the development of alternative ornamental fish food.
The outreach involved promoting an affordable and readily producible independent fish food.
Discussion Implementing the service scheme in Trenceng Village.
Sumbergempol.
Tulungagung Regency, as a response to the food independence of ornamental fish raises several critical points for discussion.
Firstly, the declining prices of ornamental fish and the high cost of feed necessitate the development of alternative technologies for fish feed production (Cottrell et al.
Rasal et al.
, 2.
This is particularly important given the fluctuating and often declining revenue from product sales.
The expectation is that ornamental fish farmers will be able to produce their fish feed (Ng, 2016.
Nielsen et al.
, 2.
, thereby reducing production costs and achieving food independence.
However, the question remains regarding how feasible this is in practice and what challenges farmers may face in this endeavour (Boyd et al.
, 2020.
Evers et al.
, 2019.
Pouil et al.
, 2.
Secondly, the program's initial results indicate that Trenceng Village already possesses the equipment necessary for independent fish feed production.
However, this equipment requires technical improvements to become an active production tool (Evers et al.
, 2.
This raises the issue of how these improvements can be made, who will be responsible for them, and what resources will be required.
Lastly, the outreach events held to increase the enthusiasm of village residents to support the production of alternative ornamental fish food were successful (Loury et al.
, 2.
These events focused on socializing independent fish food production, emphasizing its low cost and ease of production.
These outreach events' effectiveness and impact on the community's engagement with fish food production are worthy of further exploration (Tribuzy-Neto et al.
, 2.
In conclusion, while the program has made significant strides towards achieving food independence for ornamental fish in Trenceng Village, several challenges and questions still need to be These include the feasibility of farmers producing their fish feed (Cottrell et al.
Rasal et al.
, 2.
, the technical improvements required for the existing production equipment, and the effectiveness of the outreach events in engaging the community.
Conclusion The discussions and observations revealed that the problems faced by partners revolved around the repair stage of alternative, independent production equipment.
The solution offered by the community service team is innovation in providing alternative ornamental fish feed using simple feed production equipment.
Alternative ornamental fish feed can reduce feed production costs and the selling price of the ornamental fish themselves.
The second result achieved by the court team in this program was the implementation of socialization, training and mentoring.
This scheme requires adjustments to address the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Face-to-face activities are limited to reduce the potential for transmission covid-19.
However, service activities can still be carried out in various alternative ways.
To achieve outcomes, the service team has tried innovation in the form of a system to reactivate alternative feed production tools.
The service team offers a system to sustain alternative ornamental fish food technology.
