Data collection techniques were in the form of interviews, observation and documentation. The data analysis used was linear programming using the POM-QM for Windows 5 software tool. The Pangasius catfish farming activities of the Tondo Lestari fish cultivator group have been optimal because they resulted in a low production difference between factual and optimal conditons of 3,05 kg or a profit of Rp. 10,502. . The optimal production of Pangasius catfish in a pond size of 200 m2 was 3,173.21 kg and the optimal production in a pond size of 300 m2 was 4,839.83 kg.
