The demand for freshwater fish such as tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Sangihe Islands has increased along with an increase in fish consumption. Located in the Central Tabukan district, Kampung Kuma I was one of the villages whose community had been actively engaged in tilapia fish farming for years. However, to increase tilapia production in the village, an intensive fish farming method, in place of the currently applied conventional technique, was urgently needed. The fish rearing could be achieved by using high stocking density and fish feed containing high protein. This community service (known also as PKMS) aimed to provide counseling and training on intensive techniques in tilapia cultivation to the community in the village. The participants of the PKMS were a fish farming community named "Lumbena" and members of the local/village government. The PKMS was conducted from July to August 2021 through mentoring by the PKMS team and active participation from the local fish farmers. The counseling and mentoring topics for the community service covered a wide range of fish rearing techniques such as preparation of fish containers, fish seeds, water quality control, fish pest, and disease monitoring, fish feeding, and fish harvesting. The community actively participated in community service and gained the knowledge and skills required for fish farming.
