One of the basic needs of fish protein food comes from fish farming production.This study was carried out through a case study at UD. Reukan Beumaju in 2019 in tilapiahatchery business (Oreochomis sp) of Beutong District, Nagan Raya. The seed productionhas measures 2-3 and 3-5 cm, reaching 1.205.000 tail. The results of the study on theeconomic value of the tilapia hatchery business was the R/C Ratio of 1.65, which showed thatthe results of the hatchery business were feasible to develop, and with the level of productionobtained, it could drive the freshwater fish rearing business for 1000 heads of families (KK),with the assumption that per household maintains 1000 fish, then the harvest production isobtained of 100 to 150 kg in a period of 4 months. Beutong sub-district has great potential forwater and land resources, so that it can strengthen food security and improve communitynutrition. It is necessary to encourage the community to cultivate fish both on a householdand business scale, given the potential for marine fish that continues to degrade population.Hatchery business can increase fish rearing business, in order to meet consumption needs andincrease food security for fish protein at an affordable price.
