The Impact of Extension and Aquaculture Training on the Improvement of Fish Farmers' Skills: A Review
Dampak Penyuluhan dan Pelatihan Budidaya Perikanan Terhadap Peningkatan Keterampilan Petani Tambak: Review
Abstrak
North Aceh holds significant potential for aquaculture development, with a pond area covering approximately 12,174 hectares, where milkfish and vannamei shrimp are the main cultivated commodities. However, the low capacity of human resources, particularly in aquaculture skills, has been a critical barrier to increasing productivity, especially in pond-based aquaculture. This conceptual review examines the relationship between extension and training programs and the improvement of fish pond farmers' aquaculture skills. Literature indicates that aquaculture extension and training programs are effective in enhancing farmers' awareness, knowledge, and technical competencies. Utilizing a conceptual framework that positions extension and training as inputs and farmer skills as outputs, the analysis confirms the positive impact of field-based development programs—such as lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practices—on farmers' technical capabilities. This conceptual finding suggests the need to optimize aquaculture extension and training initiatives and increase the number of extension officers to enable fish pond farmers to adopt innovative aquaculture practices and improve pond productivity.
