The fisheries sector in Lhokseumawe City has an essential role in the regional economy, but the limited allocation of fish seed assistance requires an efficient and objective decision-making system (SPK). This research applies the Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) method to prioritize groups of fish seed aid recipients. COPRAS was chosen because it can handle quantitative and qualitative criteria and produce a clear ranking of alternatives. The system evaluates criteria such as pond area, number of members, pond condition, and group age. The results showed that the Tani Mandiri group had the highest utility value = 1, while Tani Maju Berkah obtained the lowest value = 0.655. The COPRAS method effectively provided accurate and transparent recommendations in determining beneficiaries. Implementing this system is expected to help the Lhokseumawe City Marine, Fisheries, Agriculture, and Food Service Office allocate fairer and more targeted assistance, as well as increase the fisheries sector's productivity in the area. This research also contributes to developing technology-based decision-making systems to support government policies.
