Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify performance and determine the strategy for improving the performance of fish farmers groups in this area, which has excellent and dominant potential in freshwater aquaculture. There were about 131 fish farmers and 11 fish hatchery and rearing groups from this region's six research sample villages. The identification results of the fishbone diagram analysis showed that the fish farmer group's growth and development, in general, were still low, based on several dominant categories, namely infrastructure, fisheries extension performance, contribution performance, and the interests of fish farmers. In detail, the causes were: 1) insufficient facilities and infrastructure; 2) management in implementing fish farmers groups function has not run optimally; 3) the lack of fisheries extension workers; 4) the lack of contribution among group members; 5) relationship between fish farmers groups and local government institutions was still low; 6) fisheries activities were dominated by certain people; and 7) the interests of the fish farmers to form groups were still low. As the results of the SWOT analysis, the fish farmers group's performance development strategy was carried out by improving the performance of group roles and functions through mentoring and facilitating group activities.

Summary

Introduction

Identification was the initial stage of mastering the problem of a particular object and in a specific situation that was recognized as a problem [7]. The issues in Muntilan Sub District related to the performance of fish farmers in freshwater need to be formulated to explore the existing problems and determine the strategy for solving them. Identification activities result become the basis for deciding problem-solving strategies. In group growth and development guidelines, it was explained that seven principles could use as the basis for the growth and development of fish farmers groups, namely the principles of populist and partiality, independence, partnership, and collaboration, gradual and sustainable, participatory and empowerment [15]. Muntilan Sub District was located in the east of Magelang Regency, and it was about 15 km from the Magelang Regent's Office, with an area of 28.61 There was a close relationship between the problems in the groups, solution strategy, and sustainability of the strengths of the roles and functions of the fish farmers groups [1].
