The aquaculture industry is one of the food production sectors with the fastest industrial growth and contributes significantly in increasing food security in the world. Cattle culture or tilapia is a commodity in the highest freshwater aquaculture in West Java and Indonesia in general. This research activity was submitted as an alternative development effort to improve the industrial freshwater fish aquaculture. Closed aquaculture system application is one solution developed to improve water efficiency and land for fish production, in addition to increasing productivity and hygiene of fish products. This activity aims to increase the production of sustainable fish aquaculture, through the transfer of freshwater fish farming using a closed aquaculture system for the urban area. This research was conducted in 2 stages, namely (1) the preparation stage and the installation of a closed aquaculture system, (2) the production phase of freshwater fish production. At each stage, the community is involved actively in every activity that takes place. The community is also given training related to measuring the growth parameters of freshwater fish growth as well as monitoring water quality and system management as a whole using a closed aquaculture system.
Contributing to local community groups in increasing the productivity of freshwater fish cultures in urban areas through the use of closed aquaculture technology (bioflok system). So that it can help create sustainable production of freshwater aquaculture in the urban area in Bandung, West Java and its surroundings.
The use of water resources and land to be effective is still a challenge in the production of freshwater fish, especially for urban areas (urban farming).
