Abstract

The Bungus Fishing Port serves as a center for fishery economics in the West Sumatra region and its surroundings, expected to contribute to the regional economy of West Sumatra. However, empirically, the contribution of this port has not yet been determined. In actuality, this data is crucial as a foundation for the development of the fishing port, both in terms of its administration and its interaction with the neighborhood. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to calculate the magnitude of Bungus FP, contribution to the local economy. The method used in this research is a descriptive method, a methodological approach aimed at presenting and interpreting research objects objectively. Data collection was conducted through literature studies, field observations, and interviews with all business actors at Bungus FP. Purposive sampling was used to identify respondents. The data was analyzed using a descriptive comparative method, which involves comparing the economic value at the fishing port with the GDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) at the level of Padang City, West Sumatra Province, and the National level. The results indicate that economic activities in the PPS Bungus area consist of various types of businesses such as restaurants, ship supplies, fishermen, ship docking, processors, street vendors, and others, with a total annual income of IDR 815,256,218,383. The contribution of PPS Bungus to the Fishery GDP and the overall GDP of Padang City in 2024 is 19.55% and 0.97%, respectively. Key words: bungus, economy, contribution, fishing port, region

Abstract

The Palabuhanratu Nusantara Fishing Port (PPN) is currently working to upgrade its status to Oceanic Fishing Port (PPS). The availability of infrastructure and supporting facilities is crucial to support this transformation process. The main activities at the Palabuhanratu PPN include ship berthing, distribution of logistical supplies, and ship repair services. However, crucial challenges often faced by this fishing port are suboptimal operational performance and the quality of services provided. This study aims to describe vessel activities, identify the growth rate of vessel activities, and formulate strategies to increase the number of vessel activities at the Palabuhanratu PPN. Data collection methods in this study involved interviews and direct field observations. Interview informants were determined using a random sampling technique. The collected data were then processed using descriptive analysis methods. The results of this study obtained four types of activities at the Palabuhanratu PPN: vessel arrival activities; loading and unloading activities; vessel supply activities; and ship repair activities. The growth rate of vessel activity at Palabuhanratu Port tends to fluctuate, with the highest number in 2012 at 903 units, and the lowest at 480 units in 2019. Strategies to increase vessel activity include optimizing port basin facilities through sediment dredging, improving the quality of human resources, and increasing fishermen's productivity.

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. Key words: coastal abrasion, fisheries sustainability, mangrove, RAPFISH, set net

Abstract

Sea cucumbers are high value fishery commodities that play an important role in international trade. Despite their significant economic contribution, scientific information regarding the technical aspects of sea cucumber harvesting and onboard processing remains limited. This study aims to examine the technical practices of sea cucumber harvesting and onboard processing through a case study in the West Coast waters of Sumatra. The research was conducted in October 2025 in the waters of Tello Island, South Nias, using direct observation methods by participating in the entire operational sequence of sea cucumber harvesting and processing onboard fishing vessels. Primary data were collected through field observations and interviews with the vessel captain and crew members, while secondary data were obtained from fishing operation documents. The results indicate that the operational workflow of sea cucumber harvesting is systematically organized, encompassing preparation stages, compressor-assisted diving operations, and the regulation of divers’ working and resting periods. Onboard sea cucumber processing involves sequential stages of cleaning, boiling, soaking in saline solution, smoking, and drying, utilizing simple facilities and traditional methods. The technical workflows of harvesting and processing, as presented in tabular form, represent actual operational conditions in the field and provide an essential basis for understanding operational effectiveness, existing limitations, and the potential for sustainable development of sea cucumber fisheries. Key words: compressor diving, harvesting techniques, onboard processing techniques, sea cucumber

Abstract

Shark product traceability is a critical component in supporting sustainable shark fisheries management, particularly to prevent unreported, underreported, or misreported fishing practices. This study analyzes shark landing recording practices at the Nizam Zachman Ocean Fishing Port (PPS Nizam Zachman), Jakarta, one of Indonesia’s main fisheries landing ports. The research was conducted through two weeks of field observations and in-depth interviews with data enumerators, port officers, and fisheries stakeholders. The results indicate that shark landing records still rely on general fish landing standard operating procedures and lack specific guidelines for sharks, particularly for species-level identification and recording of physical condition. Sharks were frequently landed as juveniles, in non-intact conditions, and mixed with other fish species, complicating identification and increasing the risk of data inaccuracy. These conditions may undermine shark product traceability systems and sustainable shark resource management. This study recommends the development of shark-specific landing recording SOPs, capacity building for enumerators through species identification training, and the provision of visual documentation tools to improve data accuracy at landing sites. Key words: shark landing records; shark traceability; unreported fishing

Abstract

Alas Strait is the one of the main coral reef fishing grounds in West Nusa Tenggara (WNT generating high economic value for coastal communities, particularly through grouper (Epinephelidae) fisheries. This area is also designated as a provincial priority zone for coral reef fish resource management. This study aimed to describe the variability in species composition and length distribution of groupers caught by local fishers operating in the Alas Strait. Field survey were conducted in May–June 2024 and February 2025 using direct measurement and interview methods. Grouper samples were obtained from fishers’ catches in the Alas Strait and from the Tanjung Luar Fish Market using accidental sampling and fishers recruited using snowball sampling. Data were analyzed to characterise species composition structure and length-frequency distribution. This research showed 36 grouper species in total recorded from fishers’ catches in the Alas Strait during the study period. The most dominant species were Epinephelus fasciatus (25.47%), Epinephelus coioides (7.87%), Epinephelus areolatus (6.74%), and Epinephelus ongus (6.74%). Length distribution indicated E. fasciatus and E. ongus were predominantly caught at the mature gonadal stages, while E. coioides and E. areolatus were mostly captured in the immature stages. Key words: fish length distribution, Epinephelus sp., gonadal maturity, Tanjung Luar

Abstract

The increase in solar fuel (diesel) prices poses major challenge for lift net (bagan) fishermen who rely on generators for their fish-attracting lights. This research investigates the effectiveness of the innovative EBT Lamp (Lacuba) powered by a Seawater Battery as an alternative to solar-fueled generators. The primary objective is to evaluate the performance of Lacuba, focusing on the speed of fish attraction and aggregation, as well as the analysis of community indices (diversity, evenness, and dominance) of the catches. Field trial results indicate that Lacuba is significantly more time-efficient. The average time for fish to be attracted was 6.5 minutes (vs. 12.25 minutes with conventional lamps), and the aggregation time was 60 minutes (vs. 77 minutes). Although both systems showed low community index categories, Lacuba registered lower values for diversity (0.2965), evenness (0.1842), and dominance (0.0392) compared to the conventional fishing lamp.

Abstract

This study identifies major problems in the fisheries supply chain in East Java Province, where the capture fishing sector faces challenges such as a high number of rejected fish and a lack of effective waste management. Therefore, this research aims to identify the structure of the fish supply chain and value enhancement through reverse logistics, as well as to formulate strategies to optimize the supply value chain to increase efficiency and added value for all parties involved. The study used a descriptive method with qualitative and quantitative approaches, analyzed using reverse logistics and the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) method. The analysis shows that implementing reverse logistics effectively creates added value, with processed fishery waste products like crackers reaching a value of Rp18,500 per kilogram and waste management efficiency reaching Rp4,355,000 per day. Based on the USG analysis, the most optimal strategies are capacity building for supply chain actors (PPRT) and the development of integrated waste processing facilities (SPLT), which are key to optimizing the economic value of the entire chain, from fishing port to consumer. Key words: fishery, fish logistic, fishing port, industry, waste

Abstract

Distribution of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) stock, an economically important commodity, has led to a decline in fish size status. Exploitation in the southern waters of Latuhalat village is carried out by various fishing gear, affecting trip and catch production. The study aimed to analyze size distribution, growth pattern, mortality, and sex ratio using Microsoft Excel and FiSAT II software. The results showed a growth coefficient (K) of 0.61 per year and asymptotic length (L∞) of 62.50 cmFL, with a maximum age (t) of 8 years and age at zero length (t0) of -0.23 years. The von Bertalanffy growth equation was Lt = 62.50(1-e^(-0.61(t+0.23))). The cohort pattern consisted of 4 cohorts, with juvenile fish at 23.3 cm and adult fish at 55.5 cm. The fishing mortality rate (F) was 0.03 per year, calculated by subtracting natural mortality rate (M) of 1.07 per year from total mortality rate (Z) of 1.10 per year. The exploitation rate (E) was calculated as E=F/Z, which was 0.03. The sex ratio was 1:1, indicating a balanced population. Recommendation: reduce the catch of adult fish during the third gonad stage to maintain population balance. Key words: Katsuwonus pelamis, Latuhalat waters, population parameters

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems play an important role as habitats for biota, natural coastal buffers, and carbon sinks. This study examines the morphological and morphometric characteristics of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza at Tunda Island, Serang, Banten, to understand species adaptation to dynamic tidal conditions and the effects of plastic waste accumulation on vegetation growth. Field observations were conducted at six sampling sites using a line transect–quadrat method. Data included measurements of stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, as well as observations of stomata and cambium. The results showed tree heights of 7–15 m, diameters of 15–123 cm, leaf lengths of 5–21.5 cm, flower lengths of 2.8–5 cm, and fruit lengths of 6–16.3 cm. Anomocytic stomata and active cambium indicate adaptation to high salinity and muddy environments. Differences between the eastern and southern parts of the island, related to hydrodynamics, substrate, and plastic pollution, resulted in higher Bruguiera gymnorrhiza density in the east. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index was low (H’ east = 0.795; south = 0.3466), indicating species dominance. These findings support mangrove management and conservation efforts, particularly through plastic waste reduction and salinity monitoring.
