Saline tilapia is a variety of tilapia fish that was developed from freshwater tilapia species so that it can tolerate higher levels of water salinity. This fish has been widely developed and is used to utilize land in coastal areas that was previously less suitable for freshwater fish culture.  The development of the modelling saline tilapia in Karawang was carried out on an area of 80 hectares which was divided into four pond areas, namely pond blocks A, B, C and D. The facilities in modelling Saline Tilapia consist of production ponds, Waste Water Management Installations (IPAL), inlet outlets, reservoirs, and laboratories.  Production facilities also use the latest technology, one of which is the use of automatic feeding machines. The rearing process is carried out for 8 months with a final weight target of 1 kg/fish to meet the export market. Stocking is carried out at a density of 25 ind/m2.  The total ponds that have been spread are 66 ponds for 2000 m2 and 75 ponds for 4000 m2. Monitoring and management of fish health and the environment is carried out to maintain the condition of the water quality and prevent the emergence of disease. The development of Saline Tilapia culture is expected to be an alternative for the economic development of coastal communities, especially in the Pantura Region.
