Vol. 5 No. 1 (2023): June 2023

Jurnal Bluefin Fisheries Volume 5 Number 1 (June 2023) presents five scientific articles covering fishery product processing technology, product quality, utilization of fishery waste, and the development of composite materials for fishing vessels.

The first article discusses quality characteristics, yield, and sanitation in the processing of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) floss at a micro, small, and medium enterprise in Madiun Regency. The second article examines the quality characteristics of smoked sagela fish chili sauce marketed in Gorontalo City, focusing on microbiological and physicochemical parameters.

The third article explores the optimization of sensory quality of squid stick products made from Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis by a fishermen's group in Motto Village, Bitung City, to support local economic development. The fourth article describes the utilization of sea urchin shells (Diadema setosum) as raw material for producing alternative flour.

The fifth article investigates the mechanical properties of epoxy and unsaturated polyester composites as potential coating materials for fishing vessel hulls through tensile and hardness testing.

These five articles are expected to contribute to the advancement of marine and fisheries science and technology, particularly in fishery product processing, resource utilization, and fishing vessel material technology.
