Mann-Whitney Test has been used to observe real respective income of partner and non-partner fish farmers. The result of study shows that based on cash and total cost calculation, incomes of nonpartner are bigger than partner fish farmers'. The R-C Ratio Analysis based on the cash cost of the farming indicates that the partner and the non-partner fish farmers still gain profit. R-C Ratios of both participants are higher than 1 point. The result of the analysis and calculation indicate that contract farming system is still able to be sustained, because the partner fish farmers can cover the cost, and get profit from their farm in an outline of contract farming system.
