What is the Aquaculture Study Program and Its Job Prospects?

FPIK, SEMARANG – (News source: kompas.com) Prospective students who will take the Computer-Based Written Examination (UTBK) and State Higher Education Entrance Joint Selection (SBMPTN) still have time to consider what study program (Prodi) to choose. The SBMPTN UTBK registration process will begin March 15 to April 1, 2021. Apart from knowing the capacity of the Study Program and its enthusiasts, the knowledge learned and job opportunities after graduation also need to be known. At Diponegoro University (UNDIP) Semarang, the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) has a number of study programs at the undergraduate level. Starting from Aquaculture, Aquatic Resources Management, Capture Fisheries, Marine Science, Oceanography and Fishery Product Technology.

The knowledge learned in the Aquaculture Study Program is broader than Fisheries studies. Apart from studying the potential of marine and fresh and brackish fisheries, Aquaculture students are also provided with knowledge about many activities. Among others: 1. Maintenance 2. Captive breeding 3. Breeding of marine and freshwater biota. Such as fish, shrimp, oysters, seaweed, and so on. The Head of the Aquaculture Department who is also the Head of the S1 Aquaculture Study Program (Prodi) FPIK Undip Sarjito explained, even though it is part of fisheries, Aquaculture is a fishery of the future.

“Currently, the world of Aquaculture is experiencing a very significant development, including the industry,” explained Sarjito, as quoted from the page undip.ac.id, Friday (12/3/2021). Currently there is a perception that Aquaculture only studies the cultivation of shrimp, grouper, milkfish, seaweed and others. In fact, there are many things that are learned in this study program, including: 1. Seed production 2. Feed 3. Measure of consumption 4. Facilities and infrastructure Differences in Aquaculture and Fisheries To distinguish Aquaculture and Fisheries, it can be seen from the indication of their emphasis in producing products. Fisheries tend to use the wild. Meanwhile, Aquaculture emphasizes its cultivation. “The end result can be the same, but the process is different,” added Sarjito.

The UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program was born based on the Decree of the Director General of DIKTI No. 473 / DIKTI / Kep / 1995 under the name Aquaculture Study Program. To face global challenges and existing developments, the nomenclature of Aquaculture Study Program was changed to Aquaculture Study Program. According to Sarjito, apart from being strict in maintaining quality, the Aquaculture Study Program also equips its students with knowledge that is relevant to the demands of the times. Students are also equipped with entrepreneurial knowledge. Especially those related to the potential of aquatic culture. Aquaculture work prospects for Aquaculture Study Program graduates are also recognized as equality in KKNI (Equivalent Level to Indonesian National Qualification Framework) with Level 6 of the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI). “Our priority is to prepare our curriculum for aquaculture entrepreneurs and developers. As well as a career as a researcher and consultant, manager, educator and instructor in aquaculture, ”said Sarjito.

It should be noted, KKNI is a qualification ranking for Indonesian human resources that juxtaposes, equalizes, and integrates the education sector with the training and work experience sectors in a work ability recognition scheme that is tailored to the structures in various work sectors.

Aquaculture Study Program in UNDIP Prepares Future Fisheries

Aquaculture Study Program in UNDIP Prepares Future Fisheries

FPIK, SEMARANG – The scope of study of the Undergraduate Program in Aquaculture, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) is wider than fisheries studies. In this study program, in addition to studying the potential of marine and fresh and brackish fisheries, students are also provided with knowledge about the maintenance, captivity and breeding of marine and freshwater biota such as fish, shrimp, oysters, seaweed, and so on.

The Head of the Department of Aquaculture who is also the Head of the S1 Aquaculture Study Program (Prodi) FPIK UNDIP, Dr. Ir Sarjito MAppSc, said that although it is part of fisheries, aquaculture is a fishery of the future. “Currently, the aquaculture world is experiencing a very significant development, including the industry,” said Sarjito, Tuesday (9/3/2021).

He admitted that there is still a perception that aquaculture is the cultivation of shrimp, grouper, milkfish, seaweed and others. Even though what is learned is more than that. Starting from seed production, feed, consumption size, as well as facilities and infrastructure.

To differentiate aquaculture and fisheries, one indication is their emphasis on producing products. Fisheries tend to use the wild, while aquaculture emphasizes cultivation. “The end result can be the same, but the process is different,” added Sarjito.

The UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program was born based on the Decree of the Director General of DIKTI No. 473 / DIKTI / Kep / 1995 under the name Aquaculture Study Program. Ir Endang Arini M.Si. became the head of the first study program for a study program which was originally part of the Fisheries Department. To face global challenges and existing developments, the nomenclature of Aquaculture Study Program was changed to Aquaculture Study Program.

Only three years after its arrival, the academic quality of the 1998 UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program received recognition from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN PT) with B Accreditation. Then it rose to A in 2004 according to the BAN PT Decree No. 06753 / Ak-VII-S1-032 / UDEBYP / VIII / 2004. The achievement of the best academic quality will continue to be maintained in the next accreditation period so that Accreditation A is still attached to this day.

Besides being careful in maintaining quality, the Aquaculture Study Program also equips its students with knowledge that is relevant to the demands of the times. The students are equipped with entrepreneurial knowledge, especially those related to the potential of aquatic culture. Graduates of the Aquaculture Study Program are also recognized as equality in KKNI (Equivalent Level to Indonesian National Qualification Framework) with Level 6 KKNI. “Our priority curriculum is to prepare aquaculture entrepreneurs and developers, apart from of course careers as researchers and consultants, managers, educators and aquaculture instructors,” said Sarjito.

It should be noted, KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework) is a qualification ranking of Indonesian human resources that juxtaposes, equals, and integrates the education sector with the training and work experience sectors in a work ability recognition scheme that is tailored to the structure in various work sectors. There are 9 qualification levels, starting with Qualification Level 1 as the lowest qualification and qualification level 9 as the highest qualification.

The determination of the gap 1 to 9 is carried out through a comprehensive mapping of labor conditions in Indonesia in terms of the labor producer (supply push) and user (demand pull). The descriptor for each qualification level is also adjusted to take into account the overall conditions of the country. UNDIP’s Aquaculture graduates are immediately included in level 6 of the KKNI, meaning that it is only three steps away from entering the highest level.

All that can be achieved because of the quality that is maintained. Qualifications of the FPIK UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program can be seen from the composition of the teaching staff. There are currently three professors and fourteen doctors in the ranks of its teaching staff. Indeed, there are still those who qualify for master’s degrees, but some are currently attending doctoral education programs. (Source: UNDIP).

FPIK UNDIP Targets Addition of 4 New Professors and 12 New Doctors in 2021

FPIK UNDIP Targets Addition of 4 New Professors and 12 New Doctors in 2021

FPIK, SEMARANG – The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) targets the addition of 4 new professors in 2021, so that in total there will be 25 professors in the faculty who manage these 10 study programs. In addition, the faculty also hopes that there will be 12 teaching staff who can complete their doctoral studies, the number of teachers who have undergraduate education reaches 64 people.

Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Ir Tri Winarni Agustini MSc PhD, said this when contacted Tuesday (2/3/2021). “We hope there will be four new professors and twelve doctors to strengthen our teaching and learning process and research,” said Tri Winarni Agustini.

According to him, if the target can be met, there is still the task of encouraging his 60 academic staff to immediately complete his doctoral program. In the future, the number of teaching staff with master degrees will decrease. “If everything goes according to plan, of the 145 teaching staff, only 40 percent will graduate from master’s degrees. Every year the portion will get smaller, “he added.

The policy to increase the number of teaching staff who have postgraduate educational qualifications is a shared mandate to make Diponegoro University a World Class University, which is characterized by a superior research university. Moreover, FPIK also already has a doctoral study program, so the demand for teaching staff to have a minimum doctoral qualification is a necessity.

What is proud, said Tri Winarni, is that the professors in the FPIK environment are active academics, not only teaching but conducting research and writing in reputable international and national scientific journals. In addition, the professors as well as the doctors there each have specific expertise and a recognized reputation, both at the national and international levels.

Therefore, apart from teaching within the faculty study programs, there are many FPIK teachers who help teach in other programs, especially the Postgraduate School.

Currently, Undip FPIK manages 10 study programs (Prodi). At the undergraduate or undergraduate level there are six study programs, two master programs and two doctoral programs. In the Undergraduate Program, there are Aquaculture Study Programs, Aquatic Resources Management Study Programs, Oceanography Study Programs, Capture Fisheries Study Programs, Fishery Products Technology Study Programs, and Marine Science Study Programs. In the Master Program there is a Master Program in Marine Science and a Masters in Aquatic Resources Management; while at the doctoral level there is a Doctoral Program in Aquatic Resources Management and a Doctoral Program in Marine Science.

This year, FPIK’s target is to propose ASIIN international accreditation for Marine Science, Oceanography and Aquaculture study programs. FPIK ranks and universities are very supportive and strive to achieve these targets. ASIIN or Akkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik is an international accreditation institution originating from Germany for the disciplines of engineering, mathematics and science, agriculture, biology.

In terms of scientific publications, FPIK UNDIP also has reputable scientific journals. There are at least 6 scientific journals that are managed, namely the Marine Science Journal “Indonesian Journal of Marine Sciences (IJMS) already indexed by Scopus, International Journal of Marine and Aquatic Resource Conservation and Co-existence (IJMARCC)”; Marina Oceanography Bulletin (Bulloma – Sinta 2); Tropical Marine Journal (Sinta 2), Journal of Fisheries Science (Sinta 2); and Journal of Marine Research (Sinta 3), CRM). These journals are indexed by Google scholar, DOAJ, Garuda Portal and all of them provide open access (open access policy).

The birth of FPIK UNDIP stems from the formation of the Department of Fisheries at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry through the Decree of the Rector of Diponegoro University No. 44/1968 dated 8 October 1968. On 17 August 1978, the name of the Faculty was changed to the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, based on the Decree of the Rector of Diponegoro University No. 76 / SK / UD / VI / 1978. However, in 1982 the name changed back to Faculty of Animal Husbandry with the issuance of the Presidential Decree No. 51/1982.

In 1985, UNDIP was trusted to be one of the pioneer universities to open the Department of Marine Science. Based on the Circular of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1023 / D / Q / 1985 dated June 6, 1985, a Marine Science Study Program was initiated at Diponegoro University together with five other Indonesian universities, namely the Bogor Agricultural Institute, Pattimura University, Sam Ratulangi University, Hasanuddin University and Riau University.

After going through various processes, it was only in 1994 that the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP was established in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No.0181 / 0/1994 dated July 25, 1994. Initially there were only two departments, namely Fisheries and Marine Sciences . Now there are 6 departments, with 10 study programs in FPIK. (News source: UNDIP)

Three Study Programs at FPIK Target to Achieve International Accreditation

Three Study Programs at FPIK Target to Achieve International Accreditation

FPIK, SEMARANG – Three study programs (Prodi) at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) are targeted to achieve international accreditation. Currently all study programs at FPIK, both undergraduate (undergraduate), postgraduate (master) and postgraduate (doctoral), all have accreditation A status, so we are only one step away from getting international accreditation.

Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Ir. Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc., PhD., Has targeted that in no later than two years, three study programs at FPIK can achieve international accreditation. “But in principle, the sooner the better,” said Prof. Tri Winarni Agustini, Thursday (22/10/2020).

Even though it has set a target time, for certainty what study program will achieve international accreditation depends on the final process because it depends on the accreditation agency. Moreover, all are still in process with high dynamics. “What is certain is that the one most ready to meet the existing requirements. “The priority is for S1 first, especially for the Aquaculture Study Program, the Marine Science Study Program and the Oceanography Study Program,” she said.

Currently, there are 10 study programs in FPIK, including six undergraduate study programs, two master programs, and two doctoral programs. For undergraduate programs (S1) there are Aquaculture Study Programs, Aquatic Resources Management, Marine Science, Oceanography, Capture Fisheries, and Fishery Product Technology. For S2 study programs, there are Masters in Marine Science (MIK) and Masters in Coastal Resources Management (MSDP). Whereas for the S3 (doctoral) FPIK UNDIP has a Marine Science Doctoral Program and a Coastal Resource Management Doctoral Program.

UNDIP is a university that has the most comprehensive marine and fisheries study program in Indonesia, as well as a pioneering university to develop marine science. One of them is the Oceanography Study Program which only exists at UNDIP and ITB, although this knowledge has long been institutionalized in the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). UNDIP marine science is also one of the pilot study programs that were started by UNDIP with several other National Universities (PTN). The Dean of FPIK said that the interest of prospective students to study marine and fisheries science tends to increase from year to year. In fact, FPIK can be said to be one of the favorite faculties in both the SNMPTN (National Selection for State Universities) and the SBNPTN (Joint Selection for State Universities).

The high interest in studying marine and fisheries science is encouraging, because it is relevant to the wealth of Indonesia, where two-thirds of its territory is the sea. Therefore, it is UNDIP’s commitment to produce competent fisheries and marine scholarships. As for the S2 level, FPIK UNDIP is committed to producing graduates who are able to collect, process, analyze and interpret data as well as develop and apply and socialize planning concepts and techniques as well as monitoring and evaluation of integrated management of marine resources. Meanwhile, for doctoral level, he will produce doctorates who are able to develop the concepts of science, technology and research, and are able to work in the field of marine science management and coastal resource management with an interdisciplinary approach.

As a form of commitment to human and scientific development, students studying at FPIK are not only given learning theories about fisheries and marine affairs, but also practice, including entrepreneurship, so that they can open businesses and open jobs when graduated. “Currently, our graduates have entered in all lines. Whether it’s the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), taking part in industry, factories, private companies, and entrepreneurship by opening up jobs for others, “said Tri Winarni Agustini.
