Bronze Medal for FPIK UNDIP Students at Korea International Women’s Inventions Expositions (KIWIE) 2020

FPIK, SEMARANG –

Five students from the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK), Diponegoro University (UNDIP) successfully won a bronze medal at the Korea International Women’s Inventions Expositions (KIWIE) 2020 event. They collaborated to make a product called Chiberry Jam and it was successfully exhibited in the international arena. Chiberry Jam or which stands for Chitosan & Strawberry Jam is a food product that uses local strawberries and waste from shrimp carapace to be used as jam as an alternative food for cholesterol sufferers.

Apart from being able to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, this product is predicted to be able to reduce waste generated from the shrimp farming industry and support increased agricultural yields, especially domestic strawberries.

The five outstanding students referred to are Nurfitri Lutfiah Sufiani, Rissinta Mahdalena, Sarrah Nadhifah Azmy, Yolla Febriani and Nalia Tasya Gunawan. The five students are active students of the Department of Fisheries Product Technology (THP) FPIK UNDIP. Despite the limited conditions amid the Covid-19 pandemic, they have proven by making achievements in the international arena. In the future, they hope that Chiberry Jam can be produced through clinical trials, so that it can be consumed and have a positive impact on the health of the Indonesian people. (BEMFPIK).

Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc., Ph.D as the Dean of FPIK who said that FPIK UNDIP will conduct guidance for the surrounding community by spreading fish seeds. Thus, it is hoped that the fish in the reservoir can develop and become part of the development plan for the tourism area of ​​Central Java in the tourist area of ​​the Jatibarang Reservoir.

Head of the Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Central Java Province, Ir. Fendiawan Triskiantoro, M.Si. conveyed that he supports fish development in the Jatibarang Reservoir by participating in sowing tilapia and alum fish seeds. He hopes that fishery product processing can be processed optimally. Meanwhile, Head of Semarang City Fisheries Service, Nurcholis, ST., MT, represented the Acting Mayor of Semarang, Drs. Tavip Supriyanto, M.Si. delivered his remarks “The Ministry of Fisheries supports the sovereignty, sustainability and welfare of the ecosystem by restocking fish in public waters, namely rivers or reservoirs which are now experiencing decline. Improper fishing facilities have reduced fish. Hopefully with this collaboration UNDIP will progress and be solid in advancing Semarang City, “he said.

Fish restocking activities are expected to strengthen FPIK UNDIP cooperation through fish cultivation, while FKM UNDIP collaborates with local communities to process fishery products into healthy products. UNDIP Chancellor Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, S.H., M.Hum. hopes that this program can be beneficial for the development of the reservoir water ecosystem. “The restocking program by stocking fish seeds is UNDIP’s effort to help provide food sources,” he said. Furthermore Prof. Yos hopes that the 63.000 fish seeds that are stocked will provide blessings and benefits to the community.

The event continued with a dialogue with representatives of fishermen who catch fish in the Jatibarang Reservoir. “The presence of UNDIP is very helpful with various community service programs that have been carried out several times, including Covid-19 assistance. UNDIP provides assistance for fish breeding with cages and also counseling,” said one fisherman.

Apart from being a tourist attraction, many visitors to the reservoir come to fish. With the distribution of fish seeds and counseling to the surrounding community, it is hoped that fish cultivation can be successful. At the end of the event, the fish stocking was symbolically carried out by the UNDIP Rector and the officials attending the event. Hopefully this series of UNDIP 63rd Anniversary events can contribute to maintaining the balance of the public aquatic ecosystem in the city of Semarang. (Source: UNDIP)
