JAKARTA - Director General of Aquaculture, Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Tb Haeru Rahayu hopes that more people will take advantage of online fish farming consultations through the Via Chatting, Efficient and Humanist Information System (SiCatfish).

Haeru Rahayu stated that with SiCatfish, fish farmers can order broodstock and fry.

"(SiCatfish) is a DJPB innovation developed at the Gelam River Freshwater Cultivation Fisheries Center (BPBAT), Jambi," said Tebe, who is familiarly called Tb Haeru Rahayu, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, July 5.

Tebe said that SiCatfish was officially launched and has been accessible to the public since June 28, 2022.

To provide fast and responsive service, SiCatfish is also directly connected to the whatsapp gateway system which can serve 24 hours.

Another advantage, according to him, is that SiCatfish uses the auto reply feature for interactive services, so it can reply to messages automatically according to the needs of service users.

These, he continued, include laboratory information services, parent and seed orders, practice and internships, a list of consulting services, information on parent and seed prices and complaint services.

Tebe requested that SiCatfish be immediately utilized by the community because SiCatfish innovation is also a form of focus on the development of integrity zones in the KKP working area, and the Directorate General of Aquaculture in particular.

"Running a transparent bureaucracy, free of corruption, and serving well can be the key to the success of the KKP program in the future," he said.

With the SiCatfish innovation, he said, stakeholders such as aquaculture actors, extension workers and all those involved in businesses in the aquaculture sector can easily access services via personal cellphones.

Meanwhile, the Head of BPBAT Sungai Gelam, Andy Artha, who became the engine for the realization of the program, said that SiCatfish was launched as an improvement in public services and the development of an integrity zone in the KKP working area.

"With the SiCatfish innovation, hopefully it can make it easier for the public to access information. In addition, it will become a reference for service assessment at BPBAT Sungai Gelam," said Andy Artha.
