    Economics Scale of Zero Waste Processing of Pangasius
    (2016-03-30) Kusumawati, Rinta; Darmawan, Muhammad; Wibowo, Singgih
    Pangasius is one of the fastest growing aquaculture commodities in Indonesia which in turn requires more appropriate processing technology. The processing of Pangasius will economically be more beneficial if the processing is targeted to produce Pangaqsius fillet as the main product. Other part of the fish such as fish head, bones, and skin commonly known as a waste,reaching 60% of the total weight of the fish, can be processed into other valuable products such as fish meal, crackers, and fish crunchy product. Such products can be commercially produced as single products separately and will even be more beneficial if the products are produced as additional products to Pangasius fillet as the main product. This total utilization strategy of Pangasius processing leaving no waste can be considered as the implementation of the blue economy of zero waste concepts. From quantitative financial study there several recommendation are proposed, i.e. integrated processing units to get more profit, establishment of a model of integrated processing which implemented GMP rule to get qualified product, culture system development to get sustainable raw material supply for processing unit, and a better system of export mechanisms so that Pangasius product can be absorbed maximally by any market.

    Evaluating and Monitoring of National Post-Harvest Fish Loss in Indonesia
    (2016-03-30) Wibowo, Singgih; Utomo, Bagus Sediadi Bandol; Syamdidi; Kusumawati, Rinta
    The demand of fish supply as food increases significantly as the population grows. One of the crucial aspects related to the production of fish is post-harvest fish loss which will substantially reduce the fish supply. Due to the perishable characteristics of fish, especially in tropical climate areas as Indonesia with high daily temperature and humidity, the situation will be more crucial and the reduction in quantity and/or quality could be considerably high. In the other side, the figure of fish stock potency does not indicate the available fish for further processing yet. Therefore, the figure will be more meaningful when it is corrected by the loss. Until recently, post-harvest fish loss in Indonesia is estimated as high as 30%; this figure has been used as reference for decades eventhough many effort has been done to reduce the fish loss. This situation indicates very serious problem since no further information how the data or the figure had been quantified. This figure needs to be evaluated and monitored periodically in order to provide more reliable number resulted by appropriate method of quantification. Questionnaire Loss Assessment Method (QLAM) developed by Ward and Jeffries in 2000 is recommended for fish loss calculation employing physical, quality and financial data as quantification bases. The quantification of national total post-harvest fish loss should be started from the fish is caughtuntil ready to be consumed. It is recommended that a system for evaluating and monitoring of national post-harvest fish loss is designed. The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries needs to assign a team consisted of Directorate General of Capture Fisheries, Agency of Research and Development for Marine and Fisheries to initiate and establish a system for evaluating and monitoring of national post-harvest fish loss comprehensively. Local Government should also be involved in the system, especially in coordination and providing enumerators. Agency for Marine and Fisheries Human Resources Development and Agency of Research and Development for Marine and Fisheries are responsible for providing capacity building and training of the enumerators systematically and periodically.
