The Ciparanje inland aquaculture area has emerged as a hub for breeding ornamental fish, with koi fish being a prominent species. The increasing demand for koi fish has led to a surge in koi aquaculture businesses. What sets koi fish apart from some other fish species is their ability to breed throughout the year, unaffected by specific seasons. However, in their natural habitat, koi fish typically spawn at the onset of the rainy season, triggered by the enticing aroma of the soil. The growth of koi fish is influenced by various factors, including fish species, genetic characteristics, feeding efficiency, disease resistance, and environmental conditions such as water and feed quality, as well as stocking density. To ensure the production of top-quality koi fish fry, it is crucial to employ the appropriate spawning techniques. In this study, a participative approach was employed to investigate and report on the natural spawning procedures of koi fish in the Ciparanje inland aquaculture area, managed by Padjadjaran University. The natural spawning method implemented in this area encompasses several crucial processes, including the preparation of spawning ponds, selection of breeding stock, egg hatching, and larvae rearing. A total of 90,175 eggs were collected from the examined koi broodstock during the spawning activities, and an impressive 80% of these eggs successfully hatched. The calculated Hatching Rate (HR) reached 96.5%, indicating a high level of achievement in the hatching of koi fish larvae.
