The purpose of this study was to determine the number and factors that influence fish consumption in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency. This research was conducted from June to July 2021 in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency. The type of research used is a type of survey, which is research that takes samples from a population in the field and is used as basic data. The sampling technique used is non probability sampling. The technique of non-probability sampling is that each member of the population has zero chance. That is, sampling is based on certain criteria such as judgment, status, quantity, voluntariness and so on. The results of the study obtained were the amount of fish consumption before Covid-19 and after Covid-19 there was a difference. Before the existence of COVID-19, there were several who consumed fish as much as 0.5 kg per week, 1 kg per week, 2 kg per week and there were respondents who no longer consumed fish per week during Covid-19. It can be seen that the people of Tamannyeleng Village feel that during this Covid-19 period they are experiencing difficulties. Meanwhile, the factors that affect fish consumption of vulnerable people in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency consist of income, education, taste, number of family members, fish prices and fish substitution prices.

Pengenalan Produk Olahan Ikan Kepada Siswa Siswi SD Negeri 03 Metro Pusat Sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Konsumsi Ikan

Indonesia is a maritime country which has abundant potential for natural aquatic resources, one of which is fish which is used for human consumption, however the amount of fish consumption in Indonesia is very low. The low consumption of fish in Indonesia is caused by a lack of awareness among the public about the nutrition and benefits of fish, especially for children. In fact, fish consumption is believed to be able to complete nutritional needs and help the development and growth of children's brains and bodies, especially in improving intelligence and health for elementary school students. This is because fish contains nutrients such as protein, fatty acids, especially omega-3, vitamins and minerals. So, to increase fish consumption among children, especially elementary school students, it is necessary to take an approach by introducing delicious processed fish products to children so that children's consumption of fish increases. The aim of the community service activity is to socialize and introduce processed fish products to the community, especially to teachers and students at SDN 03 Metro Pusat. The results of the Community Service activities at SDN 03 Metro Utara were that 36 children liked processed fishery products and 4 children did not like them, this was due to the fishy aroma or odor in the products. The results of the analysis showed that 33 children knew information about fish-based fishery products such as nuggets, fish brains and fish meatballs, then 7 children did not know information about fishery product information.

Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Tendency of Fishery Consumption: Case of Iğdır Province

In the research, socio-economic and demographic factors affecting the fish consumption amount of consumers in Iğdır province were tried to be determined. The main material of the research is the survey data obtained from 325 consumers residing in the province of Iğdır and determined by using the commensurate sampling method. In the research, the factors affecting the fish consumption amount of the consumers were analyzed with the sequential probit model. In the sequential probit model created, the fish consumption levels of the consumers were used as the addict variable, and the inaddict variables were determined as gender, income level, frequency of fish consumption, type of fish consumed, annual red meat consumption and type of fish consumption. The model results; The variables of gender, income level, frequency of fish consumption, type of fish consumed, annual red meat consumption and fish consumption pattern were all found to be statistically significant. According to the ordinal probit model results, it was determined that the gender of the consumer decreased the fish consumption level. As expected in the research, it was defined that there was a negative relationship between income level and fish consumption level, and a positive relationship between fish consumption frequency and consumption amount. With respect to the model conculsions, it was defined that there is a positive relationship between the amount of red meat consumption of consumers and the amount of fish consumption.

Abstract P451: Coronary Artery Calcium and the Association Between Dietary Fish Intake and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend ≥2 servings of fish/week for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, a recent large meta-analysis suggested that the benefit may exist only for persons with a prior ASCVD event. Whether coronary artery calcium (CAC) can help to identify individuals who are likely to benefit from habitual fish consumption is unknown. Hypothesis: CAC will stratify persons who may and may not benefit from habitual fish consumption. Methods: There were 4977 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who reported their frequency of fish intake and underwent CAC scanning at Visit 1. Adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models stratified by the presence/absence of CAC assessed the association between fish intake and incident ASCVD over a median follow-up of 15.7 years. Results: The mean age was 61 years old, 53% were women, 26% were Black, and 49% of participants had prevalent CAC. A similar proportion of individuals reported consuming ≥2 servings of fish/week for those with CAC=0 and CAC >0 (35% versus 33%, p=0.12). The absolute ASCVD event rate for those with <2 or ≥2 servings of fish/week was 5.5 vs. 4.2 per 1,000 person-years for CAC=0 and 18.2 vs. 19.0 person-years for CAC >0 (Figure 1). Each additional serving of fish/week was associated with a 9% lower risk of ASCVD for participants with CAC=0 (HR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.83-0.99) whereas there was no significant association for persons with CAC >0 (HR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.99-1.07). Conclusions: A higher amount of fish consumption was associated with a lower risk of incident ASCVD for participants with CAC=0, but not those with CAC >0, although the absolute ASCVD event rate was low for persons with CAC=0 regardless of fish consumption frequency.

Analysis of Indonesia’s Fish Consumption with Regression Method using Go Language

The study is made to predict the amount of fish consumption in Indonesia throughout the years 1960 to current year. The amount of fish production and catches will be used as supplementary information to help validate the fish consumption rate. This study is conducted using the Go programming language to prove that even though Go is a general programming language that is rarely being used for data science, it can still be used to perform analytics and machine learning while out-performing other languages that are usually used to do data science like Python and R. There are two primary datasets that are being used in this study, them being the fish captures dataset and the fish consumption dataset. These two datasets will later be parsed and processed to a single file before being fed to the linear regression and decision tree models to achieve the objective of predicting Indonesia’s fish consumption. The Linear Regression model created from our Go Program has predicted a successful model that has a very low R2 score of the predicted regression value vs the true value. Additionally using Go a Decision Tree model has also been created to further strengthen the results of our models given they agree with each other. Both models actually show very high correlation with their final predictions which is 92%. The result of this study solidifies 3 points and that is that Go is a very capable language to be used for data science, linear regression performs better than decision tree in this given scenario that is being used, and finally the fish consumption rate of Indonesia is rising at a much greater rate the world has seen in 1900s.

Associations of higher fish consumption and lifestyle with lower monocyte/HDL-C ratio in a Japanese population: Implication for the anti-atherosclerotic effect of fish consumption

BackgroundHigh fish consumption may be involved in lowering inflammation, resulting in the suppression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) development. The monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is reported as a novel inflammatory marker of the development of atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between fish consumption, MHR, and lifestyle behaviors and explored the foundation of risk stratification of ASCVD using serum HDL-C, MHR, and fish consumption. MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study among 6841 adults at the Health Planning Center of Nihon University Hospital between April 2019 and March 2020.We calculated the amount of fish consumption based on Japan's National Nutrition Survey results. ResultsThe median (interquartile range) fish consumption was 111.4 (67.2/169.2) g per week. As fish consumption increased, MHR decreased significantly (p < 0.0001). Multivariate linear regression analysis identified increased fish consumption as an independent negative determinant of a decreased MHR (β = −0.050, p < 0.0001). Additionally, healthier lifestyle behaviors (sleep duration and cigarette smoking habit) were also significantly associated with MHR (β = −0.025, p = 0.027 and β = 0.146, p < 0.0001, respectively). Furthermore, risk stratification of ASCVD could be developed by combining the HDL-C level and fish consumption with the MHR, indicating that even with similar HDL-C levels, higher MHR and lower fish consumption are associated with a higher risk of ASCVD. Multi-logistic regression analysis with the MHR quartile as an independent variable also showed that the increase in quartile was associated with the exacerbation of visceral obesity and glucose/lipid markers. ConclusionsA higher fish consumption may be associated with a lower MHR as well as healthier lifestyle behaviors. Moreover, we proposed the concept of risk stratification through relationships with MHR, HDL-C, and fish consumption to reduce ASCVD risk. Further studies are required to dissect the causal relationships between these results.

Effect of bait availability on pole and line fisheries and the impact on the amount of fish consumption

Pole and line fisheries are highly dependent on bait availability. The problem of bait lies in-stock availability and improper handling methods cause the bait to become stressed and die. This research aimed to analyse the effect of bait on the pole and line fishing process. This research was a survey through field observations. This research used descriptive analysis. Data were collected including on bait, the fishing process, and catch. The results showed that the pole and line process was one-day fishing. The bait volume used was 25 buckets. The pole and line catching process is quite involved and includes the process of transferring the live bait from the hold into the stocking tank using a large hand net with a 32 cm diameter, the chumming process or the process of spreading live bait using a small scoop net with a diameter of 13.5 cm, and the actual fishing process. The total catch was 500 individuals/trip or 2.5 tons, including Katsuwonus pelamis, Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus albacares and Coryphaena hippurus. Fishing was carried out as a one-day fishing process because it was based on the availability of bait. Fish resource utilization is managed by fishermen optimally because it affects fish consumption.

Tüketicilerin çoğu (% 71.5) gelirlerinin artmasının balık tüketimini etkilemeyeceğini, % 28.5’i ise artıracağını bildirmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Kayseri ilinde balık tüketim miktarının Türkiye ortalaması civarında olduğu, balık tüketim düzeyinin medeni durum, eğitim ve gelir seviyesinden etkilendiği ortaya çıkmıştır.

GRANGER CAUSALITY POLA KONSUMSI IKAN DI ACEH TENGAH MENGGUNAKAN ANALISISI VECTOR ERROR CORRECTION MODEL (VECM)

Development of human resources is very important in promoting economic growth, because humans are not only objects in development but also play a role as a subject. Stunting is a major problem that inhibits the quality of human resources, to reduce the amount of human development that lives by stunting is to increase the consumption of protein contained in fish. This study aimed to determine the pattern of fish consumption in Central Aceh and the variables that affect fish consumption. The analytical model used is the granger causality analysis, through the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis model. The results of this study indicate that the pattern of fish consumption in Central Aceh was not only influenced by income, but also influenced by the amount of chicken meat and egg consumption Increased income does not have a positive effect on increasing fish consumption but affects the amount of chicken meat and egg consumption. To increase the amount of fish consumption in Central Aceh, efforts to increase the amount of fish supply through local fish farming activities and the socialization of fish eating.

Depletion study, withdrawal period calculation and bioaccumulation of sulfamethazine in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) treated with medicated feed

The residue depletion of sulfamethazine (SMZ) was evaluated in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) after 11 days of administration of medicated feed containing SMZ, at the dose of 422 mg/kg body weight (bw). The determination of SMZ in feed and tilapia fillet was carried out using the QuEChERS approach for sample preparation, and high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QToF-MS) for quantitation, respectively. Both methods were validated based on international and Brazilian guidelines and shown to be suitable for the intended purposes. The withdrawal period to reach the maximum residue level (MRL) of 100 μg/kg, according to the European Union (EU) legislative framework to all substances belonging to the sulfonamide (SA) group (EU, 2010), was 10 days (260 °C-day). After treatment, the maximum level of SMZ accumulation in the tilapia muscle was 1.6 mg/kg. SMZ was shown to be quickly excreted by tilapia. Thus, considering the acceptable daily intake of SMZ established by the Codex Commission (0–0.05 mg/kg bw), and a factor of 5 times the upper amount of fish consumption in Brazil (38 kg/year), this study showed that there is a low risk of adverse effects to consumers. This study offers subsidies not only for the establishment of public policies with regard to the use of veterinary drugs currently not allowed in a country by their legal legislative framework for fish farming, but also to fish producers for the proper handling to ensure safe fish fillets.

METODE SSA PADA DATA PRODUKSI PERIKANAN TANGKAP DI PROVINSI JAWA BARAT

Indonesia is an archipelagic country where 2/3 of its territory is ocean. The vastness of Indonesia's oceans is expected to produce abundant sea products that can meet the needs of Indonesian consumers, especially fish. Adequacy of the amount of fish consumption can be assessed through the number of fish catch. Based on data at the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in 2015, West Java has a low growth of fish consumption, 6.05% in 2010-2014. Therefore, it is necessary to forecast the results of fish catch for several years ahead so it can be known whether the provision of fish consumption will be fulfilled or not. One method that can be used is Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA). The SSA method is a flexible method because it uses a nonparametric approach. That is, in its application, this method does not require the model specification of time series data, as well as parametric assumptions. Forecasting accuracy of a method is said to be good if it has a MAPE value less than 20%. MAPE of SSA method forecast is 6.19% so that SSA method is suitable for forecasting of capture fishery production in West Java Province. The forecast for fishery production in West Java Province in 2015 for the first, second, third, and fourth quarter were 53,978.49 Ton, 54,406.91 Ton, 50,889.11 Ton, and 56,896.96 Ton, respectively.

ANALYSIS OF FISH CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN BENGKULU CITY

This study aims to determine the pattern of fish consumption and to analyze factors that affect of it in Bengkulu City. This research was carried out from13 October 2015 until 17 May 2016. The method used to determine the pattern of fish consumption was descriptive method, and the method used to analyze the factors which affect the consumption of fish was multiple linear regression method with Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Based on the results of the study, fish consumption patterns in Bengkulu City was influenced by education and household income, the higher education and household income, the higher the amount of fish consumption and the quality of the fish consumed, the average of household consumption was 15.006 kg / month with the amount of consumption of marine fish is 62.81%, higher than the amount of consumption of freshwater fish (37.19%), and the proportion of expenditure for fish consumption was 16%. Age, family size, household income, price of Nile Tilapia and prices of goods substitution (chicken) affected the rate of consumption of Nile Tilapia significantly, while education variable did not affect the level of consumption of Nile Tilapia significantly. Age, Chub Mackerel prices and the prices of goods substitution (chicken) affected the consumption of Chub Mackerel significantly, while the variables of education, family size, and income did not affect the level of Chub Mackerel consumption in Bengkulu City.

Liver tissue trace element levels in HepB patients and the relationship of these elements with histological injury in the liver and with clinical parameters

AimIn this study, the relationship of liver tissue trace element concentrations with hepatitis B disease and the effects of several environmental factors were analysed. MethodThe liver tissue concentrations of Al, Fe, Cd, Mn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, Ag, and Co were evaluated in 92 patients with hepatitis B using the Inductively Coupled Plasma − Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) method in the analyses. The patients were divided into the following two groups: low-high Ishak histologic activity index (HAI) (0–6: Low Histologic Activity, 7–18: High Histologic Activity) and low-high fibrosis (FS) (Fibrosis 1,1,2 and Fibrosis 3,4,5,6). The metal levels were compared between the groups. ResultsThe Cd concentration was found to be statistically higher in the group with low HAI scores (p=0.019). The hepatic Cu concentration was found to be higher in women than in men (p=0.046). The hepatic Fe concentration was found to be higher in the group with increased FS compared to the group with decreased FS (p=0.033). Cd was found to be higher in patients who worked in positions involving exposure to heavy metals and in individuals with an ALT level above 40 IU/L (p=0.008). Several correlations have been found between the hepatic tissue metal levels in our study. In a linear regression analysis, Fe and Zn were found to be correlated with the fibrosis scores (p=<0.001 and p=0.029), and Cu was correlated with HAI (p=0.023). In the linear regression model, Ni (p=0.018) and Cr (p=0.011) were correlated with gender. There was a correlation between the hepatic Fe level and the location where hepatitis B patients were living (village/city) (p=0.001), frequency of fish consumption (p=0.045) and smoking (p=0.018) according to the linear regression analysis. Using a logistic regression analysis, Cr (p=0.029), Ni (p=0.031) and Pb (p=0.027) were found to be correlated with smoking habit, and Zn (p=0.010), Ag (p=0.026), Cd (p=0.007) and Al (p=0.005) were correlated with fish consumption. ConclusionThe liver tissue trace element levels are correlated with disease activity and histologic damage in patients with HepB disease. Additionally, smoking, the environment in which the patient works and the amount of fish consumption affect the accumulation of trace elements in the liver.

Fish consumption, mercury exposure, and the risk of cholesterol profiles: findings from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2011.

In this study, the associations between mercury (Hg) exposure and cholesterol profiles were analyzed, and increased Hg levels and cholesterol profiles according to the amount of fish consumption were evaluated. Data on levels of blood Hg, the frequency of fish consumption, total blood cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) in 3951 adults were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2011 database. To compare the distribution for each log-transformed indicator, Student’s t-test and analysis of variance were carried out, and the groups were classified according to the frequency of fish consumption through linear regression analysis; the association between Hg level and cholesterol profiles in each group was analyzed. The blood Hg levels (arithmetic mean, median, and geometric mean) for all target participants were 4.59, 3.66, and 3.74 µg/L, respectively. The high cholesterol group, low HDL-C group, and high TG group showed a statistically and significantly higher blood Hg level than the low-risk group. In both sexes, as the frequency of fish consumption increased, blood Hg level also increased, but TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and TG did not show a similar trend. Increased blood Hg level showed a significant association with increased TC and LDL-C. This statistical significance was maintained in the group with less frequent fish consumption (<4 times per month), but the group with frequent fish consumption (>8 times per month) did not show a similar trend. The results of this study suggest that fish consumption increases the level of Hg exposure, and that as the level of Hg exposure increases, the levels of cholesterol profiles increase. However, this study also suggests that the levels of cholesterol profiles in those with frequent fish consumption can be diminished.
