Optimization of Soft-Shell Crab Production: Implementation of Appropriate Technology Through Integrated Cultivation Container (ICC)

This community service project aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of soft-shell crab farming by implementing the Integrated Cultivation Container (ICC) as an appropriate technology solution. The ICC was designed using locally sourced materials in Aceh to reduce production costs while improving cultivation processes. The project employed a participatory approach, involving local farmers to ensure practical adoption and sustainability. Outcomes include increased production efficiency, comprehensive training modules, and secured intellectual property rights. Future recommendations emphasize capacity building, government and private support, further technological refinement, and program replication, ensuring sustainable, long-term impacts on coastal communities and the fisheries sector.
