Perbandingan Kedalaman Berbeda Terhadap Pertumbuhan Rumput Laut (Euchema cottonii) Pada Metode Modifikasi Keramba Jaring Apung di Teluk Jepara
Full text linkSeaweed farming is one of the most important aquaculture sectors in Indonesia, contributing significantly to the national economy. Among various species, Eucheuma cottonii is widely cultivated due to its high carrageenan content and industrial value. Optimizing environmental conditions, such as culturing depth, is crucial to improving growth performance and productivity. This study evaluated the effect of different culturing depths on the growth of E. cottonii using a modified floating net cage system in Jepara Bay. The experiment applied three depth treatments—25 cm (A), 45 cm (B), and 65 cm (C)—each with two replications. Seaweed growth was monitored over 49 days and assessed based on absolute weight and specific growth rate (SGR). Results showed that seaweed cultivated at 25 cm had the highest growth performance, with an absolute weight of 102.2 g and the highest SGR, whereas the lowest values were recorded at 65 cm. ANOVA analysis confirmed a significant effect of depth on growth (p < 0.05), supported by Duncan’s test indicating clear differences among treatments. Water quality parameters (temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen) remained within optimal ranges, suggesting depth was the primary factor influencing growth. The findings highlight that shallower depths promote greater light penetration and photosynthetic efficiency, thus enhancing E. cottonii growth. A culturing depth of 25 cm is recommended for optimal productivity in similar cultivation systems.Budidaya rumput laut merupakan salah satu sektor akuakultur yang penting di Indonesia dan berkontribusi besar terhadap perekonomian nasional. Di antara berbagai jenis, Eucheuma cottonii banyak dibudidayakan karena kandungan karagenannya yang tinggi serta nilai ekonominya dalam industri. Optimalisasi faktor lingkungan, seperti kedalaman budidaya menjadi kunci untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produktivitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh kedalaman budidaya yang berbeda terhadap pertumbuhan E. cottonii menggunakan sistem keramba jaring apung modifikasi di Teluk Jepara. Percobaan terdiri dari tiga perlakuan kedalaman, yaitu 25 cm (A), 45 cm (B), dan 65 cm (C), masing- masing dengan dua ulangan. Pertumbuhan rumput laut diamati selama 49 hari dan dievaluasi berdasarkan bobot absolut dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik (LPS). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan kedalaman 25 cm menghasilkan pertumbuhan tertinggi, dengan bobot absolut sebesar 102,2 g dan LPS tertinggi, sedangkan nilai terendah diperoleh pada kedalaman 65 cm. Analisis ANOVA menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan dari kedalaman terhadap pertumbuhan (p < 0,05), didukung oleh uji Duncan yang menunjukkan perbedaan nyata antar perlakuan. Parameter kualitas air (suhu, salinitas, pH, dan oksigen terlarut) berada dalam kisaran optimal selama penelitian, sehingga kedalaman merupakan faktor utama yang memengaruhi pertumbuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedalaman yang dangkal meningkatkan penetrasi cahaya dan efisiensi fotosintesis, sehingga mendukung pertumbuhan E. cottonii. Disarankan penggunaan kedalaman 25 cm untuk hasil budidaya yang optimal dalam sistem serupa

Despite its significant potential, fishermen’s income levels are highly dependent on unpredictable, uneven, and difficult-to-forecast catch results, often leading to their classification as "the poorest of the poor." This study aims to examine the income and welfare of small-scale fishing households in Bengkulu City, a region with substantial capture fisheries potential. Although the city recorded a production volume of 41,919 tons in 2022, many fishermen in this area continue to face challenges related to low welfare levels. Using welfare indicators from the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN), this study analyzes the income and welfare levels of fishing households and explores the relationship between them. Primary data were collected through direct interviews and questionnaires, with small-scale fishermen selected using accidental sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test to determine the correlation between income and welfare. The findings indicate that the average monthly income of small-scale fishing households is IDR 2,130,553. The welfare levels of these households are categorized into three groups: Sejahtera II (26%), Sejahtera III (49%), and Sejahtera III Plus (25%). The Chi-square test results show a significance value of 0.010, indicating a significant relationship between income and fishermen’s household welfare. These findings suggest that income is the primary factor influencing the welfare of small-scale fishermen. Increasing income levels can serve as a strategic approach to improving the quality of life for fishermen and their familie
