Sari Embun Lake is one of the areas in Tanah Laut Regency with various fish species that have potential as supporting material for local potential-based animal ecology courses. This study aims to describe the diversity of the Cyprinidae family found in the Lake Sari Embun area of Tanah Laut Regency, the process of developing a popular scientific book (PSB) on the diversity of the Cyprinidae family in the Lake Sari Embun area of Tanah Laut Regency, and the feasibility of the developed PSB, including its validity and readability. The research method used is research and development through the Plomp model. The results showed six fish species from the Cyprinidae family, namely seluang langkai (Rasbora argyrotaenia), puyau sangin (Cyclocheilichthys armatus), adungan fish (Hampala macrolepidota), white lampam fish (Barbodes gonionotus), red lampam fish (Barbodes schwanenfeldii), and babuluhan fish (Osteochilus hasselti), with a diversity index of 1.42 (medium diversity category). The PSB development process has the following characteristics: attractive appearance featuring original research images; the material described is data based on research results. The PSB validity results have a score of 3.67 with a very valid category, and the readability test results are 93.06% with very good criteria. Based on the test results, the PSB product for the diversity of the Cyprinidae family in the Sari Embun Lake area in Tanah Laut Regency is procedurally feasible for use as supporting material for the animal ecology course.
