The research will be conducted in a time frame and location from March to April 2024 in Bandung City. The analysis method used is SWOT analysis. The initial stage involves the analysis of internal factors (IFAS) and external factors (EFAS). Next, perform the calculation of the IFE EFE matrix and the formulation of marketing strategies using the grand strategy matrix. Based on the results of the analysis, both internal factors and external factors each have 5 factors. Strengths include Good quality ornamental fish, strategic location, affordable prices, a large selection of fish species, and comfortable and clean stores. Weaknesses include hampered marketing activities, promotion has not been maximized, fish dying from the disease, do not update on social media, and unsatisfactory service. Opportunities include the trend of ornamental fish, the number of ornamental fish suppliers being relatively large, supportive government policies, consumer confidence in products, and ornamental fish as a hobby or decoration. Threats include changes in consumer tastes, increasingly fierce business competition, price games from competitors, the entry of ornamental fish from abroad, and a lack of market information. The results of the grand strategy matrix analysis show that the position of the X-axis (0.48) and the Y-axis (0.42) is in quadrant I, so the right strategy that can be applied is an aggressive strategy (SO) which means utilizing strengths and opportunities. S-O strategies that can be applied include maintaining and improving the quality of ornamental fish, increasing the number of different types of ornamental fish, setting prices that can be reached by consumers, expanding ornamental fish business premises, and arranging and maintaining the cleanliness of business premises.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> <strong>SWOT analysis; Freshwater ornamental fish; Marketing strategy</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis strategi pemasaran yang tepat yang dapat diterapkan pada usaha ikan hias air tawar di Kota Bandung.

Tumbol reinytumbol@unsrat.ac.id Feny Mentang fmentang@unsrat.ac.id <p>Proper handling of fish or fishery products from ships to consumers necessitates collaboration among fishermen, government agencies, and other stakeholders. By adopting a holistic approach encompassing technical, regulatory, and educational aspects, we can ensure the efficient and sustainable operation of fisheries supply chains for all involved parties. This article presented a literature review on good fish handling practices from ship to consumer, focusing on onboard handling, auctions, landing, and transportation. Using the search term 'Good Handling Practices for Fishing Products,' six articles out of 4,470 were identified that met the criteria for further discussion. The literature review findings highlighted optimal strategies for increasing fishing, auction, and transportation processes. These included improving record-keeping and documentation, implementing aerator systems to preserve fish quality, bulk fish cooling using ice cubes without water to mitigate quality deterioration, ensuring sanitation of fish distribution support equipment to prevent bacterial contamination, and utilizing tools such as Trolley Lifters to increase the efficiency of the fish distribution process. Therefore, governmental and non-governmental institutions should provide support and training to fishermen to maximize both the quality and quantity of fish catches.</p> <p>Keywords: Fish Handling Techniques, Catch Quality, Ships, Consumers</p> 2024-06-14T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Haryadi Wijaya, Henny Adeleida Dien, Reiny A.

After the fish is caught or dies, the decomposition process begins to occur, this process lasts 12-20 hours at tropical temperature conditions, depending on the species, fishing method, and fishing equipment. The cause of the decline in fish quality is the activity of bacteria and enzymes by breaking down the components of the fish's body tissue, resulting in physical changes, namely softening of the meat and chemical changes that produce a foul smell due to volatile compounds. This research aims to determine the effect of chitosan solution on the durability of fresh skipjack tuna during storage based on the Total Volatile Base (TVB) value. The results of the research showed that the average TVB content of fresh skipjack tuna from treatment (AB) ranged from 8.48 - 16.78 mg N/100 g, still in the fresh category.

Tilapia shows an adequate ability to grow and survive even in poor habitats. The success of tilapia farming activities is influenced by several factors, one of which is feed. This study aims to see the effect of feeding different types of feed: marine fish feed (Otohime S2) and freshwater fish feed (MS Preo 320) on tilapia growth. Tilapia fry was kept in an aquarium for each treatment and fed three times a day for 30 days. Data were analyzed using a completely randomized design to determine the effect of feed on tilapia growth (Wm, Lm, SGR, FCR, and SR). Based on ANOVA (α = 0.05), it detected marine fish feed slightly increased tilapia growth but not significantly, except for Lm. It is caused by tilapia being at seed age length growth is more dominant than body weight. The factor causes a slight increase in tilapia growth given marine fish feed has a higher protein content than freshwater fish feed. Water quality components consisting of temperature, DO, and pH (26 – 30,5<sup>o</sup>C; 4,88 – 5,8 mg/l; 8,25 – 8,32) are in the range of values by the water quality standards for tilapia fry.</p> <p><em>Keywords:</em> feed, growth, tilapia</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Ikan nila (<em>Oreochromis niloticus</em>) juga dikenal dengan nama tilapia. Tilapia memiliki kemampuan berkembang dan bertahan hidup yang baik bahkan pada habitat yang buruk. Keberhasilan kegiatan budidaya tilapia dipengaruhi beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah pakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh pemberian jenis pakan yang berbeda, yaitu pakan ikan air laut (Otohime S2) dan pakan ikan air tawar (MS Preo 320) terhadap pertumbuhan benih nila. Benih nila dipelihara dalam akuarium untuk tiap perlakuan dan diberikan pakan sebanyak tiga kali sehari selama 30 hari. Analisis data dilakukan dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap untuk melihat adanya pengaruh pakan terhadap pertumbuhan nila (Wm, Lm, SGR, FCR, dan SR). Berdasarkan hasil ANOVA (α = 0,05) diperoleh informasi bahwa pakan ikan air laut sedikit memberikan peningkatan pertumbuhan nila tetapi tidak signifikan, kecuali Lm. Hal ini dikarenakan nila pada usia benih memiliki pertumbuhan panjang lebih dominan dari bobot tubuhnya. Faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan nilai pertumbuhan nila yang diberikan pakan ikan air laut adalah kandungan protein yang lebih tinggi dari pakan ikan air tawar.

This leads to water having qualities and functions that do not align with their intended uses and can disrupt human life, marine biota, and marine ecosystems. Pollution in the marine ecosystem undoubtedly affects marine products in various aspects of life. This article used a literature review method to gather the necessary data for explaining the discussed topic. This article aims to explain the harmful impacts of marine pollution on consumer health, economic value, and the aesthetic value of the marine ecosystem. Based on the results of literature studies conducted through secondary data analysis from published journals in the last 10 years (2015-2024), it was found that marine pollution contaminated with bacteria or pathogens due to chemical substances can disrupt human health, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, collapse, and even death. The economic aspect also experienced its impacts, such as the decrease in fishermen's catch and the disruption of the beauty of the marine ecosystem due to changes in water composition, leading to the sea appearing cloudy and odorous, and being filled with waste.</p> <p>Keywords: Dangers of Marine Pollution, Consumer Health, Economy, Aesthetics</p> 2024-07-24T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Haryadi Wijaya, Henny Adeleida Dien, Roike Iwan Montolalu, Daisy Monica Makapedua https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/56118 Prospective Analysis of Seaweed Processing Downstream Business: A Case Study in Lontar Village 2024-07-26T07:33:39+08:00 Iwang Gumilar Adji20001@mail.unpad.ac.id Adjie Saputra adjisaputra050700@gmail.com Santi Rukminita Anggraeni Adji20001@mail.unpad.ac.id Rusky Intan Pratama Adji20001@mail.unpad.ac.id Ine Maulina Adji20001@mail.unpad.ac.id <p>Seaweed grows in almost all waters of Indonesia, making it one of the important exporting countries in Asia.

The existence of seagrass ecosystems in coastal waters is so important that it is necessary to carry out morphometric studies of seagrass, both for scientific purposes and for the sake of knowledge about seagrass itself. This research aims to describe the morphometrics of <em>E. acoroides</em> seagrass on the coast of Budo Village, Wori District, North Minahasa Regency, to compare the morphometrics of <em>E. acoroides</em> seagrass based on sampling stations, and to determine the condition of the aquatic environment (temperature, salinity, pH, substrate). The research location was divided into 3 sampling stations, namely the first mangrove area with 20 individuals, the second seagrass area with 30 individuals, and the third coral reef area with 10 individuals. The sampling process is carried out using a roaming survey method, the sample is washed and put into a plastic sample which will then be measured. The results statistically show that E. acoroides species in the coastal waters of Budo Village at three stations show significant differences in morphometric size, where station three is smaller than stations one and two. Environmental conditions and existing environmental parameters cause this. The condition of the environmental parameters at the three stations is still within safe limits, so it is still good for seagrass growth.</p> <p>Keywords: Seagrass, <em>Enhalus acoroides</em>, Morphometrics, Budo Village</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Penelitian ini mengenai Morfometrik Lamun <em>E. acoroides</em> (Linneaus f.)

The estuary is the most downstream part of the river and is connected to the sea. The Bahu River estuary is a habitat for a variety of aquatic life, especially fish, where water quality conditions greatly affect the abundance, diversity, and dominance. The methods used in this study were general field survey methods and fishing methods using the "swept area" method (Sparre &amp; Venema, 1998). Data collection was carried out based on the time of collection using beach seine gear. This research was conducted with several stages, namely fishing in the field which will become data, data analysis and discussion. The results of this study indicate the composition of fish species in the Bahu River Estuary there are 11 families, 11 genus, and 14 species with a total of 86 individuals. The results of data analysis of the highest relative abundance in the Bahu River Estuary were in June, namely the <em>Ambassis urotaenia</em> species with a value of 45.90%.

Schaduw schaduw@unsrat.ac.id <p>Malalayang Beach is part of the coastal area of Manado Bay and is situated in the North Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. The coral reef ecosystem is one of the coastal ecosystems with high biodiversity. The uniqueness of the ecosystem and the diversity of its organisms make coral reef ecosystems have high social, ecological, and economic values. In 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States recommended the use of foraminifera as indicators for aquatic assessments. Foraminifera is a meiobenthic components at the bottom of the sea that act as producer of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in sediments in the benthic and pelagic zones of the sea. The purpose of this study was to study at the composition of benthic foraminifera based on their genus in the waters of Malalayang Beach and also assess the condition of coral reef waters on Malalayang Beach using the FoRAM Index. This research was carried out by taking sediment samples in Malalayang Beach in nine sampling points at a depth of 5–8.5 m. The samples were then washed and sorted to obtain foraminifera tests. From 2,830 successfully identified specimens, 17 genera were obtained with FoRAM index values ranging from 5.46 to 9.53. The average value of the FoRAM Index at Malalayang Beach is 7.32, indicating that the waters of Malalayang Beach are still suitable for coral growth.</p> <p><strong>Keywords<em>: </em></strong><em>Malalayang Beach, </em><em>Foraminifera</em><em>, </em><em>Coral Reef</em><em>, </em><em>FoRAM Index</em></p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Pantai Malalayang adalah bagian dari Teluk Manado yang terletak di Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia.

Diameter semua pohon mangrove sekitar &gt; 20 cm terindikasi berpotensi mengurangi energi gelombang. Saran perlu mendapat perhatian khusus dari Pemerintah Minahasa Utara dengan menyediakan budidaya mangrove dan perawatan mangrove yang ada. Keanekaragaman mangrove di Desa Darunu masih rendah, dapat diatasi dengan penanaman spesies mangrove lain yang berpotensi menjadi sifat alami mangrove di Desa Darunu dan faktor lingkungan lainnya. Pengamatan lapangan menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove secara efektif mengurangi abrasi pantai, Studi ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya menjaga keanekaragaman mangrove untuk perlindungan pantai yang efektif.</p> <p>Kata kunci : Mangrove, Keanekaragaman, Dominance, Distribusi diameter, Abrasi Pantai, Perlindungan pantai.</p> 2024-10-11T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Conny M.

This study was carried out from March to May 2023. Observations and measurements of nematocyst cells were conducted using an Optika 4083 B3 microscope connected to a computer equipped with Optika View 7 software. <em>S. subseriata</em> has three main types of nematocyst, i.e., type I micro basic p-mastigophore (MpM- I), type II micro basic p-mastigophore (MpM-II) and micro basic b-mastigophore (MbM). Type MpM-I has an average capsule length of 182.10 µm, capsule width of 38.98 µm, and shaft length of 76.45 µm; MpM-II has an average capsule length of 166.72 µm, capsule width of 41.60 µm, and shaft length of 108.48 µm; and MbM has an average capsule length of 154.84 µm and capsule width of 30.96 µm. The nematocysts composition consists of MpM-I 26.67 %, MpM-II 23.33 %, and MbM 50.00 %. The MbM type is nematocyst dominant in this coral species. Future study is recommended to examine the comparative characteristics of nematocysts from <em>S. subseriata</em> with other species of corals in the same genus to determine the specific nematocyst of each type of coral with the role of their particular types of nematocyst.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> Bulutui coast, nematocyst, North Minahasa, Scleractinia, <em>Stylophora subseriata</em></p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tipe, dimensi ukuran dan komposisi nematosit dari karang Scleractinia, <em>Stylophora subseriata</em>. Studi ini dilakukan dari Maret - Mei 2023. Pengamatan dan pengukuran sel nematosit dilakukan menggunakan mikroskop Optika 4083 B3 yang terhubung dengan komputer yang dilengkapi <em>software</em> Optika <em>View</em> 7. <em>S</em><em>.</em><em> subseriata</em> memiliki tiga tipe nematosit utama, yaitu microbasic p-mastigophore tipe I (MpM-I), microbasic p-mastigophore tipe II (MpM-II) dan microbasic b-mastigopore (MbM). Tipe MpM-I memiliki rata-rata panjang kapsul 182,10 µm, lebar kapsul 38,98 µm, dan panjang tangkai 76,45 µm; MpM-II memiliki rata-rata panjang kapsul 166,72 µm, lebar kapsul 41,60 µm, dan panjang tangkai 108,48 µm; serta MbM dengan panjang kapsul 154,84 µm dan lebar kapsul 30,96 µm. Komposisi nematositnya terdiri dari MpM-I 26,67 %, MpM-II 23,33 % dan MbM 50.00 %. Tipe MbM adalah nematosit yang dominan dalam spesies ini. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk meneliti perbandingan antara karakteristik nematosit dari <em>S. subseriata</em> dengan jenis karang lainnya dalam satu genus untuk mengetahui nematosit spesifik dari masing-masing jenis karang tersebut sehubungan dengan peran dari tipe-tipe nematosit spesifiknya. </p> <p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em>:</strong> Minahasa Utara, nematosit, Pesisir Bulutui, Scleractinia, <em>Stylophora subseriata</em></p> 2024-10-17T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Reffando Alfaro Fabio Fabien Kamuntuan, Carolus Paulus Paruntu, Kakaskasen Andreas Roeroe, Rosita Anggreiny J Lintang, Indri Shelovita Manembu, Joshian Nicolas William Schaduw
