Catfish is a popular source of protein in Indonesia. Pecel lele has become a favorite dish in many regions, and for some, it is considered “comfort food” due to its delicious taste and its suitability for any occasion.
To meet the demand for high-quality animal protein and support national food security, Indoaquatic has introduced an innovative method of cultivating catfish and tilapia using the biofloc system. This technology utilizes microorganisms to maintain water quality and nutrient levels, allowing the fish to grow healthier, cleaner, and more nutritious. In addition, the biofloc system is more environmentally friendly and economically efficient than conventional farming methods.
Catfish cultivation at Indoaquatic offers several advantages. By using 100% pelleted fish feed, the resulting catfish meat is tastier, cleaner, and free of unpleasant odors. Before distribution, the fish are carefully sorted to ensure optimal quality. The harvesting process is also faster—taking only about three months—which increases economic value.
Another strength of Indoaquatic’s catfish and tilapia farming is its high market demand, especially in the Greater Jakarta area. Tilapia enjoys strong demand among households, restaurants, and hotels due to its variety of sizes and widely favored meat quality, while catfish dominates daily consumption because of its affordability and stable availability. With its superior product quality and modern farming system, Indoaquatic not only meets community consumption needs but also contributes to sustainable and environmentally friendly food security.
