Abstract

This research was carried out in districts and cities in Gorontalo Province. The research location was determined by purposive sampling or deliberately with the consideration that the location was the location where the fish farming group was the recipient of fish farming infrastructure assistance.Aquaculture activities begin with capture fisheries activities, an activity that has been going on since the primitive era of humans, namely ancient times. Capture fisheries production is limited by the natural productivity of waters (seas, rivers, lakes and reservoirs). This natural productivity can be increased tens or even thousands of times with fish cultivation activities.Based on the results of the research and discussion in the previous chapter, the following conclusions can be outlined: The effectiveness of the distribution of fish cultivation infrastructure and infrastructure assistance to fish farmers in Gorontalo Provincehas an average score of 14.95 units which is in the "Fairly Effective" criteria. There is a significant difference between the income and production results of fish cultivation each planting season for fish farmers before and after the distribution of fish cultivation infrastructure and infrastructure assistance in Gorontalo Province.
