Tilapia is a aquaculture commodity whose demand increases every year, both in fresh and processed form.  This increase in demand along with convenience of rearing has made tilapia a commodity that many fish farmers are looking for.  In the context of aquaculture, an important aspect that needs to be considered is providing appropriate feed. Even though it is generally considered an easy task, feed management is crucial to increasing fish production targets.  Fish feeding is generally still done manually. This method has disadvantages, especially in terms of dependence on labor and scheduling which is often forgotten when that have many ponds.  As an alternative, BINS (Budidaya Ikan Nila Saline) at BLUPPB Karawang adopts the use of an automatic feeding machine that can be controlled via a mobile device. However, using this automatic feed machine also has its own advantages and disadvantages. The use of this technology must be accompanied by good management in order to provide optimal results. By implementing this automatic feeding system, it is hoped that future production of saline tilapia can be increased.
