The demand for freshwater fish consumption in Indonesia continues to grow as public awareness increases around nutrition and affordable animal protein. However, many fish farmers still face challenges in choosing the right commodity—especially one with high profit potential, low risk, and sustainable cultivation.
As a platform committed to transforming the aquaculture industry, Ternakin aims to help farmers choose the best freshwater fish species to farm across different regions in Indonesia—supported by data, technology, and field experience.
1. Catfish (Lele): Resilient and Fast-Growing
Catfish is a favorite among both beginner and experienced farmers. Why?
- Fast harvest cycle: 2.5–3 months
- Disease-resistant
- Wide market: daily household consumption, local eateries, catering
- Can be farmed in tarpaulin or biofloc ponds
With automated monitoring systems like Ternakin’s, farmers can optimize feeding and water quality to boost their yields.
2. Ikan Nila: Pertumbuhan Cepat & Konsumen Setia
Tilapia is known as a “table fish” with a neutral flavor and thick meat—ideal for mid to upper-market consumers.
- Rapid growth in controlled systems
- Adaptable to various water types
- Export potential, especially to Asia and the Middle East
However, tilapia is sensitive to water quality changes, which is where Ternakin’s real-time sensors play a critical role.
3. Pangasius (Patin): Ready-to-Process Industrial Commodity
Pangasius is gaining popularity due to its soft, white meat. It’s widely used in processed food industries, such as fillets, floss, and meatballs.
- Consistent demand from food manufacturers
- Eco-friendly and thrives in deep ponds
- Relatively stable price in local markets
Using harvest prediction technology, Ternakin helps farmers reduce risks when farming pangasius at scale.rediksi panen, Ternakin membantu petani meminimalkan risiko saat membudidayakan patin dalam skala besar.
4. Gourami (Gurame): Premium Fish with Slower Growth
For farmers targeting premium markets and long-term investments, gourami is a strong contender.
- High selling price
- Dense meat, popular in restaurants
- Longer farming cycle: 6–8 months
With Ternakin’s financial tracking and projection tools, farmers can better manage long-term cultivation like gourami.
