Nur(2007)AnalysisFeedsFertilizersSustainableAquacultureDevelopmentIndo_CentreBrackishwaterAquacultureDevt.pdf

In this paper, the author presents a useful overview and analysis of aquaculture practices and farming systems in Indonesia, with a particular focus on aquaculture feed and feeding. Notable is the fact that Indonesia uses a relatively small proportion of the area that is available and/or suitable for aquaculture (4.5 million hectares of more than 11.8 million hectares available), which together with the intensification of culture practices provides an opportunity for rapid growth of the sector. To meet the demand, the author maintains that the aquafeed industry needs to prepare itself appropriately, find alternatives to minimize the fishmeal content in aquafeeds and urgently address the high feed demand of L.vannamei (Pacific white shrimp). The author also makes recommendations around environmental issues, which are receiving increased prominence in aquaculture sector research. One suggestion is for a more cost effective feed to be developed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. Greater consumer awareness of food safety issues requires the feed industry to pay greater attention to traceability of feed materials and feed processing technology.

Zamroni-Yamao(2013)AssessmentFarmMarketLinkIndoDriedSeaweeds.pdf

This paper examines the characteristics of small-scale seaweed farming in South Sulawesi, assesses the role of middlemen in supporting seaweed production and marketing, and details the pattern of the local seaweed procurement chain. The research uses data gathered through interviews and focus group discussions with 220 seaweed farmers, as well as traders and middlemen, in Takalar and Jeneponto districts. The findings revealed that seaweed farmers tend to be involved in both seaweed farming (mostly Eucheuma cottonii) and capture fisheries, yet seaweed farming is the main source of household income. Middlemen were found to play a crucial role in production and marketing, in particular through provision of financial capital and collection or purchase of dried seaweed. While this research highlights the growing dependence of many fishing communities on seaweed farming and the importance of middlemen, it also points to potential concerns. Among them is the unclear definition of farm ownership leading to conflicting claims among interested parties—an important issue that will require concerted government intervention. The authors also note the need for ecological research to assess the environmental impact of intensive seaweed farming.

Spatial analysis: the effectiveness of seaweed as a catalyst for improving ecologic and economic qualities in Takalar Water Area, South Celebes [Sulawesi]

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:27:04 +0000

WidowatiEtAl(2012)SpatialAnalysisEffectivenessSeaweedCatalystImprovingEcologicEconomicQualitiesTakalar.pdf

In this paper, Widowati et al. estimate the potential area and carbon absorbed in seaweed cultivation in the Takalar water area in South Sulawesi and estimate the increase in the local economy if potential areas were optimally cultivated. The research is based on data collected through satellite imagery, base maps, spatial data and field surveys. It found that existing seaweed cultivation covers less than 10 per cent of the potential area of 59,731 hectares. Based on this data and the large amount of carbon content obtained (20.73 ± 1.73 per cent), the amount of carbon emission that can be absorbed is equal to 71,531,381.82 to 120,578,542.70 tons C per cycle. If the cultivation of seaweed in Takalar were optimized, the total price of seaweed could reach US$45,250,334, increasing local GDP by 28 per cent. This study provides useful evidence for scaling up investment in seaweed cultivation in farming communities. The methods could be easily applied in other coastal areas in Indonesia to measure similar variables. However, the authors suggest that further study be undertaken to improve the analysis for more concrete estimation of the suitable area.

Long-term effects of floating long-line seaweed farming on seagrass shoot density and biomass.

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:27:04 +0000

Blankenhorn-Asmus(2007)SeaweedFarmingTraditionalFishingVillagesExampleSouthSulawesiIndo.pdf

Seaweed farming is predominantly practiced in shallow waters where other sensitive ecosystems such as seagrass beds are also likely to occur. This study examined the effect of shading, trampling and varying intensities of seaweed farming on seagrass in a shallow bay of a traditional fishing village in South Sulawesi. Methodology involved manipulating different levels of shading and trampling in experimental plots over a homogenous seagrass bed and experimental seaweed farms of differing farming intensities. Results are presented and discussed in terms of treatment effects on shoot density and biomass. While farming methods and seedling densities were not found to harm seagrass the author does discuss the potential for seagrass associated fauna to be impacted by farming practices. The author lists several options for increasing seaweed production including increasing farming densities to 185,000 seedling per hectare (reported as optimum sustainable density) but concludes that extending production to open water outside reef systems is the best option when considering seagrass and reef top management. There is brief discussion of factors to consider with this option.

Blankenhorn(2007)SeaweedFarmingArtisanalFisheriesIndoSeagrassBed_SPICE.pdf

With increasing population density and subsequent increases in fishing pressure, seaweed farming is an alternative income source for coastal villages traditionally reliant on artisanal fisheries. This study is a component of a larger thesis and investigates the impact of seaweed farming on the economy of a traditional fishing village in South Sulawesi. Data was obtained through random semi-structured interviews (n=31) with households. The study results encompass basic demographic data, farming system information (farm establishment, seaweed farming practices, harvest and marketing, contribution to household income) and farmer motivations, satisfaction and future hopes. Income from seaweed is reportedly 81 per cent of household income. Results are discussed in terms of economic activities and effort, seaweed culture and fishing problems, market problems and income, satisfaction with seaweed farming and fisheries and the future. The author makes several recommendations to maintain or improve farmer income: economic and productivity opportunities should focus on addressing poor post-harvest processing practices for improved crop quality market price; further development should consider market access and environmental suitability; and community development plans should consider alternative sources of income to buffer against significant fluctuations in seaweed prices.

RimmerEtAl(2013)ReviewSWOTAquacultureDevelopmentIndo.pdf

Aquaculture is an important contributor to the Indonesian economy and has considerable potential for expansion. This publication presents the findings of a review and SWOT analysis of aquaculture development in Indonesia, and discusses the possible approaches to support its sustainable development. The authors suggest that a combination of strategies (intensification and production segmentation, areal expansion, and production diversification) is necessary to meet the Government's vision to become the world's leading aquaculture producer by 2015. A critical issue identified in the analysis is the need for improved coordination and linking of industry development efforts, such as coordination across government levels, consistent implementation of regulations, and linking of research, development, extension and training activities. The paper also highlights that 95 percent of aquaculture farms in Indonesia are smallholdings, which the authors argue could be negatively impacted by the promotion of large-scale aquaculture and changing international market requirements, unless policy development specifically addresses the issue.

Neish(2007)AssessmentSeaweedValueChainIndo_USAID_AMARTA.pdf

This report covers a preliminary phase of a larger study to develop seaweed farmer groups as preferred exporter and processor suppliers. Informal interviews were conducted with farmers, collectors and exporters in Gorontalo. This report briefly outlines seaweed production and the Gorontalo value chain. A brief outline of observations and conclusions identifies that: there are large areas suitable and underutilised for seaplant farming; that any development of the post-harvest sector needs to include improved production to ensure year round availability for processing; only basic agronomy practices are implemented; there is a reliance on one cultivar; there is a lack of financing options and accurate market information at the farmer and local collector level and a dependence on support from exporters and processors for development of seaplant farming. The author lists several interventions including: development of local nurseries and farmer financing programs; improvements in agronomic practices, cultivar selection and post-harvest treatment systems; farmer cooperatives to value add and operate with other value chain participants; linking farmer enterprises with progressive and supportive enterprises at subsequent value chain levels, domestically and globally.

Morey(2008)SeafoodMarketSupplyChainSESulawesi_DPIVictoria.pdf

This report outlines the South East Sulawesi seafood supply chain including live fish and lobster, processed abalone and sea cucumber and seaweed. The report is based on desk research as well as meetings with seafood market chain operators, traders and buyers which are reported as case studies. The author outlines the role of Makassar in South Sulawesi as the trading centre for seafood products. The seaweed case study highlights limitations and opportunities in the seaweed market chain including price discounts for high moisture content due to inadequate drying, quality improvement with improved cultivation techniques and location selection and lack of direct seaweed exports from Kendari port due to insufficient supply, lack of established relationships with importers, unsuitable infrastructure and control of exports by Makassar traders. The report concludes with an overview of seafood chain issues and opportunities, including strong export opportunities and development of regional branding; lack of market focus by fishermen; control of market power by traders; limited infrastructure at Kendari port; and a need for allied industry involvement in development programs.

Gooley(2010)AssessingMaricultureMarketConstraintsPotentialSESulawesi_ACIAR_SADI.pdf

This report summarises the conceptual framework of an industry development plan to improve seafood smallholder welfare. It identifies the opportunities and constraints to growth of the South East Sulawesi seafood value chain as variability in supply chain characteristics across locations and products, disproportion in the share of through chain value, lack of post-harvest value adding, high costs and limited capital, technical knowledge and market access. The authors provides recommendations for an industry development plan including a 3-5 year pilot to trial market chain strategies through concurrent case studies on seaweed, grouper, lobster, sea cucumber, abalone and pearl oyster supply chains. Recommendations also highlight what these case studies should feature such as development of village-based associations (farmers, fishers and local traders), value chain champions, regional marketing and investment strategies, a communication system for market intelligence, a technical advisory group for research, development and extension, a draft management plan and development and demonstration of better management practices.
