THE EFFECT OF PROBIOTIC ADDITION IN MOIST FEED ON THE GROWTH OF SAND LOBSTER (Panulirus homarus)

Lobsters are a potential fishery commodity with significant economic value. An alternative feed option that can be used is artificial feed, such as moist feed. One commonly known probiotic in the market is EM4, which can be used as a feed additive and can increase protein content to support growth processes. This study aims to determine the optimum probiotic dosage in moist feed to enhance the growth of sand lobsters (Panulirus homarus). The findings of this research are intended to provide insights and benefits for further research or practical applications. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD). It involved five treatments with three replications, resulting in 15 experimental units. The treatments included P0 (control), P1 (moist feed without probiotics), P2 (moist feed + 0.1% probiotic), P3 (moist feed + 0.2% probiotic), and P4 (moist feed + 0.3% probiotic). The results showed that after maintaining Panulirus homarus for 60 days in Teluk Ekas, the addition of different probiotic levels in moist feed produced the following average outcomes: absolute length growth ranged from 3.19 to 4.76 cm, absolute weight growth ranged from 42.90 to 62.30 g, specific growth rate ranged from 1.71 to 2.14 g, feed conversion ratio (FCR) ranged from 5.05 to 6.69, feed efficiency ranged from 69.12% to 87.26%, and survival rate ranged from 70% to 90%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the best treatment for absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and FCR was P4 (moist feed + 0.3% probiotic), while the best survival rate was achieved in P2 (moist feed + 0.1% probiotic).

A Comprehensive Study on Sustainable Fisheries and Environmental Factors in an Eastern Mediterranean Freshwater Lake

It was aimed to determine the fishery potential of a freshwater lake in the Eastern Mediterranean where fishing is prohibited, however considered to be reopened for fishing activities. Kocagöl is located on the western part of the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Fisheries is important for the local people for livelihood. Especially, the Mugilid catch is important for local Mediterranean small-scale fishermen. Fishery related parameters (Catch per Unit Effort, growth, mortality, exploitation rate, reference points), biomass, physical (temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity and dissolved oxygen) and chemical (nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and total phosphorus) water parameters were determined. A generalized linear model was established between catch and physical environmental parameters. In general, exploitation rates of the main target, Mugilidae, species are at safe levels. However, selectivity and Lopt parameters showed that the mesh sizes should be increased to provide more sustainable fishery in the area. A controlled fishing practice in this fragile and sensitive area will constitute an environment for the sustainable use of fishery resources in the region. According to results, limit reference points are better for fisheries management plans. This study is an example for eastern Mediterranean freshwater fishery management regulations.

FISH ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY AS BIOINDICATOR OF WATER QUALITY IN SENGGURUH AND KARANGKATES RESERVOIR

Reservoirs serve as beneficial recreation areas for the surrounding community. Reservoirs are also habitats for various types of flora and fauna. Severalfamous reservoirs in East Java due to their fisheries potential are Sengguruh and Karangkates Reservoirs. This study aimed to determine the abundance and diversity of fish as bioindicators of water quality in Sengguruh and Karangkates Reservoirs. Fish and water quality parameters weresampled at three points in each reservoir, namely residential, tourism, and fisheries areas. All data were analyzed descriptively, while the correlations between fish abundance and diversity with water quality were determined using the Pearson’s correlation test. According to the results, three fishfamilies were found in Sengguruh Reservoir with a relative abundance of 26 - 55 ind/200 m and a diversity index ranging from 1.6510 to 1.7239. Meanwhile, in Karangkates Reservoir, four fishfamilies were found with a relative abundance of 41-43 ind/m and a diversity index of 1.7806 - 1.8787. The water quality parameters showed temperature of26-28.7℃, pH of 7.5-8.5, DO of 4.5-8.2 mg/L, CODof 20-28 mg/L, ammonia of 0.18-0.77 mg/L, and nitrate of 6.7 - 21 mg/L. Based on the diversity index value, both reservoirs are classified as lightly polluted, with abundance variables have no correlation with temperature, yet negative correlation is presented with DO, pH, and nitrate. In contrast, a positive correlation is shown with phosphate and ammonia.

Marketing Strategy for "Anchovies Pizza" Processed Product in Munjungagung Village, Tegal Regency

Munjungagung Village is one of the villages bordering the northern coast of Java. Being located in a coastal area makes Munjungagung Village rich in marine fishery resource potential. The potential fishery resources are mostly generated by capture fisheries. In addition to fishery and marine resource potential, Munjungagung Village also has potential for marine tourism and a conservation area in the Jeruk Reef region. To support the fishery and marine sectors, Munjungagung Village has fishery infrastructure in the form of the PPP Larangan coastal fishery port, the PPI Larangan fish landing base, and the TPI Larangan fish auction site. As an area bordering the coastal region, Munjungagung Village also has a marine tourism attraction, namely the Larangan Beach. The catch of fish by the fishermen is very abundant, including anchovies. Anchovies are one of the quite potential fishery products in Munjungagung Village, Kramat District, Tegal Regency. However, in its utilization, fishermen only sell anchovies in wet form. Through community empowerment activities, mothers can diversify processed anchovy products by making a pizza called "Anchovies Pizza." One of the strategies that can be implemented in empowering the coastal community of Munjungagung Village is through the optimization of fishery products based on anchovies. Anchovy products can be optimized, one of which is by making "Anchovies Pizza." Through an economic-based approach for the coastal community, especially among mothers, it is hoped that the economic status of the coastal community can be improved.

Successful collaborative trials of simple gear modifications to reduce entanglement of whales and other megafauna in Scotland’s static pot (creel) fisheries

Abstract Entanglement in ropes associated with static fishing gear (pots/traps/creels) is a welfare and conservation concern for minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus), and other megafauna in Scottish waters. The Scottish Entanglement Alliance estimated that six humpback whales and 30 minke whales become entangled annually. Where entanglement type was known, 83% of minke whales, 50% of humpback whales, and 76% of basking sharks were caught in floating groundlines between pots. We collaborated with fishers on Scotland’s west coast to trial sinking groundline (which lies on the seabed) to assess its practicality. A total of 15 Nephrops (langoustine) and crab fishers re-roped 61 sets of creel gear and fished the gear for ∼15 months, reporting on each haul. Over 1500 hauls were reported; the fishers encountered few problems, in some cases preferring the modified gear. We also deployed depth sensors/accelerometers and filmed a range of sinking and floating rope configurations with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect data on performance underwater. This project is encouraging, both because of its results—that there may be a simple option to greatly reduce entanglement risk—and because of the successful, bottom-up, partnership approach with Scottish creel fishers.

Financial Literacy And Inclusion Of Farmers And Fishermen: A Case Study In Tawiri Village And Dusun Seri Ambon City Island, Maluku Indonesia

Financial literacy and financial inclusion are needed to improve people's lives through Financial Services Institutions. The 2016 and 2019 National Surveys on Financial Literacy and Inclusion show that the financial literacy index of farmers and fishermen is the lowest compared to other types of work. Indonesia has considerable potential for agricultural land and marine fisheries, especially in Ambon City. This study aims to determine the effect of financial literacy on financial inclusion for farmers and fishermen. The research method is a survey of 65 households of farmers and fishermen—data analysis using SMART PLS4.0 software. The results showed that knowledge or literacy and attitudes affect skills, while skills affect access. Furthermore, access and trust affect inclusion. The implication is that improving skills and attitudes will improve access; access affects trust, which determines financial inclusion.

Ghost fishing by self-baited lost, abandoned or discarded pots in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery

Unintended continuous capture or so-called “ghost fishing”, by abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear produces negative environmental impact on marine life and nature conservation. The risk of ghost fishing in pots could be high due to potential self-baiting resulting from mortality of ghost fished catch. Self-baiting may increase ghost fishing by further attracting marine organisms, including cannibalistic conspecifics. However, self-baiting effect in pot fisheries is seldom investigated. Pot fisheries targeting snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) in the Arctic have high risk of gear loss due to harsh weather conditions. This study quantifies ghost fishing efficiency by simulated self-baited snow crab pots containing dead snow crab relative to catch efficiency of actively fished baited pots. On average, self-baited pots captured 0.4% of target-sized snow crab compared to actively fished pots. These results showed that the impact on marine environment caused by ghost fishing in pots is not always increasing due to self-baiting and can vary throughout the time pots are exposed to ghost fishing.

Development Potential of Fisheries as a Maritime Activity in Supporting Area Planning

This paper aimed to identify and discuss the gains on the development of fishery, maritime tourism and community engagement towards the regional planning of Belakang Padang District in Indonesia. Based on both exploratory and explanatory qualitative and quantitative data collected for the study, the study establishes and examines the economic, cultural, and environment opportunities and barriers to region development in the district. The studies show that fisheries are the largest and most important economy sector that influences the planning of regions; at the same time, the challenges are observed in terms of outdated technique and restricted access to markets. Maritime tourism has a lot of prospects and long-term influences for countries but it is restricted by the lack of sufficient infrastructure and capital. The study also highlights a major research agenda concerning the lack of citizenship in planning where most of the local actors are rarely involved in planning processes. Environmental sustainability as an additional challenge was discovered with pollution together with the inadequate disposal of wastes contributing to the harm of the district’s development. Therefore, the study recommends an integrated regional development plan, focusing on the modernization of fisheries, tourism development, participation of community and conservation of the environment as key factors for sustainable development of Belakang Padang. Hence the research is useful in the existing literature on sustainable coastal development and charles district future planning activities.

Can pots be an alternative fishing gear to gillnets? A Mediterranean case study

Small-scale coastal fisheries in the Mediterranean often employ gillnets, a widely used gear worldwide. The disadvantages of gillnets in this fishery include high bycatch levels of unwanted species and consequent discards. Moreover, spatial conflict with other gears and dolphin depredation often results in considerable economic loss. Alternative fishing methods are being tested. This study investigated whether, in small-scale fisheries in the Adriatic Sea, pots can ensure sustainable harvest of mantis shrimp (Squilla mantis), a major target demersal species in terms of landings, and possibly replace traditional gillnets. We adopted a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the catch efficiency, biological impact, and socio-economic effects of the two fishing methods. We found different species compositions in gillnet and pot catches. Gillnets yielded a greater number of discarded species of no commercial value, whereas pots caught a greater amount of mantis shrimp. Finally, a profit analysis indicated that pot fishery has the potential to increase profits for the commercial fishing industry. This study suggests that pots provide a more sustainable fishing method, both in terms of revenue and environmental impact.

Sustainable Development Strategy Based on Value-Addedin the Fisheries Sector: Study on the Kangean Islands, Sumenep Regency, Indonesia

Objective: Kangean Islands is a group of small islands in Sumenep Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, which is administratively divided into three sub-districts, namely Arjasa District, Kangayan District, and Sapeken District. This archipelago has very large fisheries potential as seen from its contribution to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Sumenep Regency, but the utilization of the fisheries sector in this archipelago is still carried out traditionally and tends to be exploitative. This study aims to see the level of sustainability of fisheries sector management and recommend fisheries resource management strategies, in order to increase the economic added value of the fisheries sector and maintain the sustainability of fish resources and the environment in the archipelago. Method: The analytical method used to analyze the degree of sustainability in fisheries resource management in the Kangean Islands is Rapid Appraissal for Fisheries (RAPFISH) with the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) ordination technique. While the analytical tool used to compile a hierarchy of fisheries sector development strategies to increase economic added value is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results and Discussion: The results of the sustainability analysis in the management of the fisheries sector found that, of the five aspects identified, the results showed that the financial aspect and infrastructure aspect had the category of "Sustainable Sustainability", with values of each aspect of 63.113 and 53.885. While the other three aspects, namely: Human Resources (HR) Aspect, Natural Resources Aspect, and Social Aspect are included in the category of "Less Sustainable". Meanwhile, based on the results of the analysis of the hierarchy of fisheries sector development policies, it shows that the most priority policy to be carried out in the development of a sustainable fisheries sector is the "identification of investment potential and opportunities" program with a priority value of 46%. Furthermore, the strategy that must be chosen is to map the potential of the fisheries sector with a limiting value of 21%. With a Rater Agreement value strength of 0.472727 or 47%, it means that the informants agree in providing an assessment on the paired comparison questionnaire, in determining problems and strategies in the development of the fisheries sector in the archipelago.
