Vol. 4 No. 2 (2022): December 2022

Jurnal Bluefin Fisheries Volume 4 Number 2 (December 2022) presents five scientific articles covering capture fisheries, coastal environmental management, fishery product processing, monitoring of fishing activities, and the development of marine engineering technology.

The first article examines the technical and financial aspects of payang fisheries in Ulakan Tapakis District, Padang Pariaman Regency, focusing on fishing operations and the financial feasibility of fisheries investment. The second article identifies the types, composition, and density of marine debris along the coast of Motto Village, North Lembeh District, Bitung City, North Sulawesi.

The third article discusses the implementation of Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) during the freezing of ball-shaped octopus (Octopus cyaneus) at PT. XYZ, including processing stages and sanitation practices. The fourth article explores the use of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to track illegal fishing activities and the potential application of Hybrid AIS as an aid to fishing operations.

The fifth article evaluates the performance of an alternative battery-powered and flywheel-based electrical generator for a 3 GT light fishing vessel under different electrical loads.

These articles are expected to contribute to the advancement of marine and fisheries science and technology, particularly in improving fishing business efficiency, coastal environmental management, fishery product sanitation, fisheries monitoring, and the development of alternative energy technologies for fishing vessels.
