Abstract
Tiger grouper aquaculture in the Mentawai
Islands shas potential for further development. This study aims to analyze the
investment, profit, income, and feasibility of the tiger grouper aquaculture
business in Sikakap Village, Mentawai Islands Regency. A descriptive approach
with quantitative analysis was used to assess the factors affecting business
feasibility. The study involved 10 respondents, considered sufficient to obtain
the necessary data. Data collected includes primary and secondary data through
interviews, questionnaires, and literature reviews. The analysis shows that the
total investment cost for a 3x3 cage is IDR 117,072,000 (average IDR
14,634,000), and for a 4x4 cage is IDR 38,162,000 (average (average IDR
19,081,000), calculated per single cage unit. The monthly income for 3x3 cages
is IDR 1,674,659 or IDR 20,110,914 annually, while the 4x4 cages generate IDR
2,172,465 monthly or IDR 26,069,584 annually. Based on RCR values, the 3x3 cage
shows an RCR of 2.15, FRR of 137.42%, and PPC of 0.72 years (approximately 8.64
months). The 4x4 cage yields an RCR of 2.14, FRR of 136.62%, and PPC of 0.73
years (around 8.76 months). These indicators suggest that the floating net
cage-based tiger grouper aquaculture business in Sikakap is feasible, offering
relatively high income to farmers.
