Abstract

Sungai Gayung Kiri Village in Rangsang Subdistrict, Meranti Islands Regency, has great fisheries potential, with most of the community relying on capture fisheries using traditional fishing gear such as belat (set nets). This area has experienced severe coastal abrasion, which has led to mangrove degradation, shifts in fishing grounds, and a decline in catch production. This research was conducted in 2025 in the coastal waters of Sungai Gayung Kiri. The purpose of this study was to determine the sustainability status of belat fishing gear based on ecological, economic, and technological dimensions. The method used in this study was a survey method through direct field observation and interviews with fishermen. The data collected included the number of fishing units, production trends, environmental parameters, and sustainability attributes. The data were analyzed using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) with the RAPFISH approach. The results showed that the ecological dimension had a value of 20.02%, categorized as unsustainable. The economic and technological dimensions obtained values of 58.34% and 57.99%, respectively, and were categorized as moderately sustainable. This study concludes that although belat remains an important traditional fishing gear, its sustainability is still low, particularly in the ecological aspect. The findings indicate the need for sustainable fisheries management, including mangrove conservation, regulated resource utilization, and improved fishing gear technology.

Abstract

Maintaining low storage temperatures on fishing vessels is strongly influenced by the insulation performance and durability of fish-hold lining materials, especially under humid and splash-exposed marine conditions. This study investigates latex–coconut coir composites as a lightweight, locally available, and bio-based candidate for insulation applications in small fishing vessels. Composite specimens were fabricated using a controlled formulation series from neat latex (100/0) to 50/50 latex–coir, with intermediate ratios of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40. The work emphasizes manufacturability, mass-related properties, and moisture behavior relevant to shipboard service. Water absorption was evaluated after 24 h immersion following the general procedure of JIS A 5908, while specific gravity and density were determined using an Archimedes-based method (ASTM D 792) at 23°C. The results show that increasing coir content reduces the dry specimen mass, supporting lightweight panel development, but significantly affects moisture uptake. Neat latex exhibits minimal water absorption (0.846%), whereas coir-containing composites show higher absorption with a non-linear trend, peaking at the 80/20 formulation (17.345%) and decreasing at 50/50 (10.410%). In contrast, specific gravity (~0.498–0.500) and density (~497–499 kg/m³) remain nearly constant across formulations, indicating that moisture performance is governed primarily by microstructure (porosity and latex–fiber interfacial sealing) rather than bulk density. These findings highlight the feasibility of latex–coir composites for marine insulation, while underscoring the need for processing optimization and/or surface sealing to improve moisture resistance.

Abstract

Perbedaan regulasi penggunaan bagan apung antara Permen KP No. 36 Tahun 2023 dan Pergub Sumatera Barat No. 4 Tahun 2023 menimbulkan dinamika pengelolaan ikan bilih (Mystacoleucus padangensis) di Danau Singkarak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perbedaan kebijakan, dampaknya terhadap hasil tangkapan berdasarkan ukuran mata jaring, serta persepsi nelayan terhadap implementasinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus dengan pendekatan mixed methods. Data dikumpulkan dari 40 nelayan bagan apung melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan One-Way ANOVA, serta wawancara untuk memperkuat analisis kebijakan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pusat memperbolehkan bagan apung dengan syarat teknis (≥¾ inci), sedangkan kebijakan daerah melarang secara total. Ukuran mata jaring berpengaruh signifikan terhadap hasil tangkapan (p < 0,05), di mana jaring lebih kecil menghasilkan tangkapan lebih tinggi namun kurang selektif. Perbedaan kebijakan berdampak pada ketidakpastian teknis, penurunan stabilitas ekonomi nelayan, serta dinamika sosial di komunitas. Sinkronisasi kebijakan berbasis data ilmiah dan partisipasi nelayan diperlukan untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara konservasi dan keberlanjutan ekonomi.
