Abstract

Immediate handling of fish catches is important for maintaining the quality of small-scale fishery products. Ice is commonly used, but storage space, procurement, transportation, and handling may pose challenges for fishers operating small vessels. This study examined fishers’ assessments of a 60 L refrigerated cool box as a catch-handling technology in Cilincing, North Jakarta. A descriptive quantitative approach involved 45 fishers, including swimming-crab fishers and fishers using various types of nets. Perceptions were measured using 10 indicators and a three-point agreement scale. Across 450 responses, 80.00% indicated agreement, 14.44% were neutral, and 5.56% indicated disagreement. The total score was 1,235 out of a maximum of 1,350, equivalent to a mean score of 2.74 on a 1–3 scale and a score-to-maximum index of 91.48%. The highest index concerned the perceived ability to maintain catch quality (94.81%), while the lowest concerned the potential to increase fishers’ income (86.67%). The response proportion and score index represent different measures and are reported separately. These findings describe respondents’ agreement with the potential benefits of the technology; they do not demonstrate actual improvements in product quality, operating costs, income, or technology adoption. Key words: catch handling, Cilincing, cooling, fishermen’s perception, refrigerated cool box, small-scale fishers
