FPIK, SEMARANG – The Department of Fisheries Product Technology, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK), Diponegoro University (UNDIP) has conducted training for fish smoking using liquid smoke technology for small scale industry/micro-business (UMKM) in Kendal Regency. This activity was held in Tanjungsari Village, Purwosari District on Monday, September 7^th, 2020.

Ir. Sri Harjinto, the Head of the Office (Kadis) of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DKP) Kendal Regency and Ir. Gunadi as the Head of Capture Fisheries and the Kendal DKP officials were present at the training event. The resource person from the FPIK UNDIP Fishery Product Technology Department Team in the event were Dr. Ir. Fronthea Swastawati, M.Sc. as Chairman; Prof. Dr. Ir. YS Darmanto, M.Sc.; Romadhon, S.pi., M.Biotek; and Slamet Suharto, S.Pi., M.Si, as team members.

The purpose of this training is to share knowledge about the application of liquid smoke in smoked fish processing, as well as the application of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Sanitation Operational Standards and Procedures (SSOP) to MSMEs in the processing so that they can produce quality smoked fish products.

“The training participants are expected to be able to produce smoked fish products that are of higher quality, safe, and also fit for consumption because they are kept clean.” explained Dr. Ir. Fronthea Swastawati, M.Sc.

In addition to these materials, they also receive counseling and training on how to pack and market products online, in order to reach a wider potential market and consumers. It is hoped that the increase in marketing of this product can be digital based. Both through social media and market places which are currently popular in the current industrial era 4.0.

Dr. Ir. Fronthea Swastawati, M.Sc. added, Purwosari District has been the center for the development of fish ponding and smoking businesses in Kendal Regency. Thus, the FPIK UNDIP Fishery Product Technology Department program targets 84 UMKM fish managers located in the villages of the sub-district.

Various types of fish are processed, such as stingray, sea catfish and mackerel. In addition, in several other places, flying fish, salmon, cucut and mackerel are processed. The smoked fish processor is still using traditional smoked fish processing techniques. “So we transfer liquid smoke technology to increase production output and also increase marketing coverage” he said.

Regarding the training program, the Head of Kendal Regency DKP, Ir. Sri. Harjinto appreciated and welcomed the activities carried out by the Department of Fisheries Product Technology, FPIK UNDIP in his area.

According to him, the program is an application of the science and technology of fishery product processing that is really needed by UMKM in smoking fish to encourage the community and increase their welfare. (Adm).

Students of FPIK UNDIP Succeed to Find New Species Bryozoa Pleurocodonellina jeparaensis n. sp.

FPIK, SEMARANG – As an archipelagic country, Indonesia holds an extraordinary amount marine diversity and resources that has not much been studied. One of the least studied marine animal is Bryozoa. It is known as one of the phylum in aquatic invertebrate that live both in freshwater and the sea. Bryozoa are sessile, often found living as colony, and by 2013 there were more than 5.900 known species (Bock and Gordon, 2013). Several reports have found bryozoans that live on the surface of algae, corals, mollusks and are most commonly found in dead bivalve shells (McCann et. al., 2007; Gordon & Taylor 2008). They are also found on various objects such as wood, plastic to other wastes in the sea (Watts et. al., 1998; Barnes & Dick 2000).

In Indonesia, there have been only few reports on bryozoans. It is the reason why this study became the topic of research conducted by Dr. Meezan A. Asagabaldan, a student of the Coastal Resource Management Doctoral Program (MSDP), UNDIP, who is also a recipient of a PMDSU scholarship. His study successfully described 6 species of bryozoans from Jepara waters and one of them is a new species named Pleurocodonellina jeparaensis n. sp. (Smittinidae). Interestingly, this new species was found in pieces of bivalve shells found in Telukawur bay, Jepara.

This research became the first report that successfully described the presence of bryozoa in Central Java. The discovery of new species in the Telukawur bay, Jepara, proved that new findings are awaiting and more studies are needed in order to maintain the presence of marine resources in a sustainable manner.

Undip Professor and Alor Researcher Find Evidence of the Upwelling Phenomenon in the Cetacean Passage, Alor Strait

by admin | May 12, 2020 | Research and Dedication

FPIK, SEMARANG – Senior oceanography researcher from the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK) UNDIP, Prof. Agus Hartoko, and Doctoral candidate Jahved F. Maro from the Tribuana Kalabahi University (UNTRIB) have found evidence of a local phenomenon called “Cold Water” in the Alor Strait. In oceanography this phenomenon is called upwelling. In the case of Alor Strait, the cold 7°C sea water from a depth of 1.000 meters rose to sea as observed in the incident on May 8th, 2020 at 11.44 am (Eastern Indonesian Time). Normally, sea surface temperature in the tropic sea could reach a temperature of 30°C. In this upwelling condition, the Cetaceans arrives, and dolphins hopping on the surface of the sea water.

Over the past hundreds of years, the Savu Sea of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Lamalera and the Alor Strait are parts of the Savu Sea that are known by local fishermen as the migration route for the Cetacean group, such as whales, dolphins and dugongs. Whales were often washed ashore after passing through this strait and usually died naturally.

The measurement and analysis of MODIS – Aqua satellite data, showed that at certain times an upwelling has occurred, and turn the sea in the Savu Sea waters into a ‘cold pool’ surrounded by warm water. The sea surface temperature range in the Savu Sea is between 26.7°C – 28.6°C or 2°C cooler than the surroundings, namely in the North of Alor and in the South of Rote Island, where the temperature in the sea surface area ranges from 28.6°C – 31.4°C.

The of cold water mass flow from the Indian Ocean to the North following the topography of the ocean floor from the tectonic plate junction of Australia and the Pacific in the South of the Savu Sea. In the process of the upwelling, the seawater from the Indian Ocean flows into the ‘pool’ of the Savu Sea from a depth of 3.500 meters, then the cold water flows to the North moving up into the Alor Strait with a depth of 500 meters and finally rises to sea surface with a temperature of 7°C in May. This Up-Welling phenomenon usually occurs in May and November or during the east-monsoon.

The Savu Sea area has been designated as a marine protected area. Therefore, in the future, UNDIP, local government of Alor, NTT Provincial Government, UNTRIB Alor and WWF Alor will together develop the area into a marine tourism area or so called the integrated and sustainable “Marine Geopark” along with the local community.
