Abstract

Freshwater and marine fish farming is the backbone of the fisheries economy, especially for small to medium-scale farmers. Feed contributes approximately 60–70% of operational costs, so inaccurate feed scheduling and dosing can increase production costs, reduce feed efficiency, and increase waste. This research developed a Portable Smart Feeder based on precision scheduling and dosing, equipped with gradual feeding (sub-doses with intervals) and a spreader for even feed distribution. Development was carried out using a prototype method, then the system performance was tested through experiments in two ponds for 14 days (one sorting cycle): Pond A (conventional) and Pond B (using the system). Evaluation included feed consumption, mortality, and growth measured through a sorting process (grading) on ??the 14th day. The results showed that Pond B produced 70.90 kg of harvested biomass with 28.00 kg of feed and 13 fish mortality, while Pond A produced 68.17 kg of biomass with 33.80 kg of feed and 250 fish mortality. The FCR value of Pond B is 0.91:1, better than Pond A 1.20:1, so the system shows increased feed efficiency and maintenance stability.
