Abstract

Catfish cultivation, especially the Dumbo catfish (Clarias Gariephinus), is one of the fisheries sectors that has high economic potential in Indonesia. Dumbo catfish is the choice of many farmers because it has good resilience and stable market demand. This research aims to develop a website-based Decision Support System that uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to determine optimal feed for Dumbo catfish in Puger District. With this system, it is hoped that it can help farmers in choosing feed that suits the specific needs of catfish, considering the challenges faced by farmers in mixing their own feed. The SAW method was chosen because of its ability to provide decisions based on systematic calculations of weights and attribute values. This system is designed to be easily accessible via the web, allowing farmers to evaluate feed alternatives efficiently. The research results show that the application of SAW in this decision support system can increase the accuracy of feed selection and time efficiency for farmers. By using this system, farmers can optimize the quality of the feed used, which in turn supports the success of cultivating Dumbo catfish more effectively.
