Abstract- In line with the population increase, the need for food in Indonesia is also increase. Fishery is one of the important sector that can support food security and the Indonesian economy. Fishery is considered to have a more stable economic value than agriculture. Freshwater fish cultivation can be developed as an effort to advance the village economy. This study aims to identify the level of community knowledge about good fish cultivation and provide assistance in the implementation of fast-water pond for the development of tilapia cultivation. Assistance to the community is carried out through direct counseling by inviting speakers from related ministry. Identification of community knowledge was carried out by providing a questionnaire during mentoring, while the fast-water pond was made based on an ideal design for tilapia cultivation and the geographical conditions of the village. Freshwater fish, especially tilapia, are expected to be the superior product of Tanggulun Village, so it can encourage the economic progress of the village and the community.
