Fishing industry potential as resources broiler feed’s fishmeal from bycatch in Teluk Nibung, Tanjung Balai

Abstract

Tanjung Balai was the sources of fish production in north sumatera, Indonesia. Total fisheries production in Tanjung Balai City more than This study aims to describe the potential of areas on the east coast of North Sumatera. This research method used survey, descriptive analysis from quantitative data which the calculation of fish population, rendement and proximate test. Proximate tests such as protein, fiber, fat, water and ash. The results showed that Upeneus sulphureus’s fishmeal (head), Upeneus sulphureus’s fishmeal (offal) and mix (head and offal) have different results rendements. Protein (%) level of head; offal; mix = 45.4; 43.3; 33.0. The proximate test of Upeneus sulphureus’s fishmeal (head), Upeneus sulphureus’s fishmeal (offal) and mix (head+offal) can use to broiler (starter and finisher) feeds based on SNI standards. The one warehouse for 3 highest catch periods was produced 1,904 tons of Upeneus sulphurous fish, 587 tons of waste and 38 tons protein. Teluk Nibung have fishmeal potentials to broiler feed.
