Abstract

Gebang Mekar Fish Landing Site (PPI) is one of the small pelagic fish landing centers on the northern coast of Cirebon Regency, where the mini purse seine is the dominant fishing gear used by small- to medium-scale fishers. This study aimed to analyze the catch composition of mini purse seine, the environmental factors influencing it, and the production trend of small pelagic fish at PPI Gebang Mekar. The research was conducted from April to June 2025 using a descriptive qualitative method through observation, semi-structured interviews with 20 mini purse seine boat captains (determined using the Slovin formula from a population of 25 captains, 10% margin of error), and secondary production data of PPI Gebang Mekar for 2024 and the first semester of 2025. The results showed that the sampled catch composition was dominated by anchovy (Stolephorus spp.) at 40%, fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) at 28%, Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) at 16%, and scad (Decapterus spp.) at 16%. Secondary data revealed an increasing production trend for anchovy, sardinella, and mackerel from April to June, with year-on-year growth (2024 to 2025) of 4.35%, 7.55%, and 2.78%, respectively. Calm sea currents, low wind speed (±2 knots), and an appropriate east-monsoon fishing strategy were the main factors supporting productivity. This study recommends the sustained integration of primary and secondary data, supported by improved port-level recording mechanisms, to enable more accurate, adaptive management of the mini purse seine fishery oriented toward the sustainability of small pelagic fish resources at PPI Gebang Mekar

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the needs of Fisheries and Marine Science students in learning English to be a basis in developing a contextually relevant English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curriculum. The study used a descriptive qualitative design and included 23 participants: 20 undergraduate students in the third to fifth semesters, two English lecturers, and one Marine Science lecturer. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observations and document analysis and analysed thematically using the concepts of necessities, lacks and wants. The results identified five major themes: academic English proficiency, professional communication, technical vocabulary, speaking confidence, and contextualized learning activities. Students faced difficulties in understanding scientific articles in international journals, writing academic texts and understanding terminology specific to fisheries and marine science disciplines. They also lacked confidence in speaking English that influenced their participation in English communication activities. Students also said they would like to have lessons about words used in the marine industry, workshops on how to read scientific journals, practice making presentations and learning through simulations. The results of the study suggest the need for an ESP curriculum that incorporates academic literacy, subject specific vocabulary and practical communication activities. The study offers an empirical foundation for synchronizing English teaching to the academic requirements and anticipated professional communication skills of Fisheries and Marine Science students.
