The 2nd International Symposium on Marine and Fisheries Research

Abstract

PrefaceThe role and significance of fisheries and marine research become more crucial in the future around the world as the ocean covers almost 2/3 of our planet and produces huge resources for human needs. Fisheries and marine resources have crucial roles in providing not only world energy, seafood productions, significance in climate change, marine aquaculture, but also in the world coastal socio-economic dynamics. Fisheries and marine resources serve as main income generating sector for people in coastal area of tropical countries especially in the archipelagic countries such as Indonesia. Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada Indonesia organizes a symposium biannually, International Symposium on Marine and Fisheries Research (ISMFR). This symposium is a forum to be the primary focal assembly to share research outcomes and discussions on the role of fisheries and marine scientists in sustaining ocean ecosystems. This 2nd ISFMR was participated by more than 150 participants with a total of 106 presented papers. The symposium also invited the prominent scientists in fisheries and marine science mainly in the topics of marine sciences, fisheries management, aquaculture and fish processing technology. The symposium theme was “tropical marine and fisheries resources in a changing environment” covered broad topics in fisheries and marine science such as aquaculture, fish diseases, fish genetics, biotechnology, oceanography, seafood processing and safety, fisheries biology, climate science, marine ecotoxicology, fisheries management, marine natural product, and fisheries socio-economics.This proceeding provides an opportunity for readers to engage with refereed papers presented on 24-25 July 2017 of the 2nd ISFMR. The papers published in this proceeding were selected from a total of 106 presented papers. This proceeding is divided into five sections, namely aquaculture, marine science, fisheries management and oceanography, fish processing technologies, and fisheries socio-economics.
