This study aims to determine the amount of macronutrients nitrogen, phosphate and potassium from catfish farming waste as liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) through the fermentation process at different times, and to determine the potential economic value, by determining the cost of production and selling price of waste products. Cultivation of catfish as LOF in Benteng Somba Opu Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency. This research was carried out from February to April 2021. The potential economic value used a quantitative descriptive research method. The results of the study on catfish culture wastewater contained LOF also provides additional income for catfish cultivators. HPP based on research results is Rp. 19,000 /L. After calculating the cost of production, the potential profit for LOF from catfish farming waste in 1 liter is Rp. 3,400 /L, with a waste potential of 6,000 L / month, the economic potential value is Rp. 20.400.000, - with pool type permanent pool (L=3m, W=2m, H=1,5m)., - and can still increase depending on the amount of catfish production in a month. RCR value of 1,24 that the LOF business is efficient and profitable to continue to operate. Although the potential is small, it is quite interesting for catfish cultivators to try.

Jurnal Social Economic of Agriculture, 11(2), 70-81. https://doi.org/10.26418/j.sea.v10i2.54763 INTRODUCTION Who does not know catfish? It tastes delicious at an affordable price and is easy to maintain, making catfish a type of freshwater fish developed in Gowa district. The types of fishery businesses in Gowa district are generally inland fishery cultivation, such as ponds, rice fields, swamps, rivers, dams and reservoirs (Bone, 2019). The unfulfilled market trend for catfish in Makassar is 500 kg/day, making catfish farming increasingly attractive. The increase in the production of catfish farming can also lead to an increase in the yield of catfish aquaculture waste water. The volume of tarpaulin pond water ranges from 17-18 cubic, with a capacity of catfish between 900-25000 heads, the denser the stocking of catfish in the pond, the greater the waste water produced. The catfish waste water is immediately disposed of into the environment, it will disrupt the life of both humans and other organisms. According to Corey (1987) that waste contains various elements, both organic and inorganic. This waste has a high content of N, P and K, inseparable from the high content of organic matter such as protein, carbohydrates and fats as well as other inorganic materials which are supplied to the pond in the form of catfish feed.
