Abstract

Lobster plays a pivotal role in the fisheries industry, and the potential development of this business needs to be thoroughly understood to support regional economic growth, particularly in Sebubus Village, West Kalimantan. This research aims to study prospects and simulations of the techno-economic aspects of lobster cultivation businesses in West Kalimantan. The research methodology involves collecting primary and secondary data through field surveys, interviews with business stakeholders, and analysis of relevant economic data. The data were obtained from lobster business locations in Sebubus Village and secondary data from recent scientific articles. The data used encompass aspects such as production costs, selling prices, and other factors affecting the sustainability of the business. Based on the results of techno-economic simulations with fixed variables of harvest composition (A 30%, B 30%, C 40%), critical factors for lobster cultivation businesses were identified, including a minimum seedling capacity of 14.87 kg, a minimum survival rate of 67.65%, a maximum decline in lobster selling prices of 20.42%. In contrast, an increase in feed prices did not significantly affect the lobster industry. This research is expected to contribute significantly to understanding the lobster business economy in Sebubus Village and surrounding areas. Its practical implications involve efforts to enhance production efficiency, reduce risks, and create a conducive business environment for lobster industry stakeholders.
