Judul: Strategi pengembangan perikanan tangkap dalam meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat pesisir Kabupaten Lampung Barat:
Abstrak: Kabupaten Lampung Barat dengan ibukota Liwa merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang berada di wilayah Provinsi Lampung dengan luas 4.950,40 km2. Dari luas tersebut, 76,78% merupakan kawasan hutan, sedangkan kawasan budidaya hanya sebesar 23,22% atau 1.149,48 km2. Kondisi geografis Lampung Barat yang memiliki garis pantai sepanjang 221,5 km dan berbatasan langsung dengan Samudera Indonesia, merupakan potensi sumber daya alam yang sangat besar bagi pengembangan sub sektor perikanan. Potensi lestari perikanan tangkap yang dimiliki sebesar 15.696,56 ton per tahun dan rata-rata baru termanfaatkan sebesar 52% per tahun. Sumbangan sektor perikanan terhadap perekonomian daerah hanya sebesar 4,99% pada tahun 2006. Hal ini menggambarkan bahwa sektor perikanan belum memberikan peran yang maksimal bagi perekonomian daerah sehingga perlu dikembangkan secara optimal dan terpadu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk 1) menganalisis kinerja sektor perikanan dalam perekonomian Kabupaten Lampung Barat; 2) mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor strategis bagi pengembangan perikanan tangkap; dan 3) merumuskan program strategis bagi pengembangan perikanan tangkap di Kabupaten Lampung Barat. Analisis terhadap kinerja sektor perikanan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, sedangkan identifikasi faktor strategis dan perumusan program menggunakan metode SWOT dan QSPM

Judul: Analisis potensi dan pengelolaan perikanan dalam perspektif ketahanan pangan di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Lampung Barat
Abstrak: Fish as a nutritious foodstuff with high protein and essential amino acids is neeff{t by human beings for growth and intelligence. Therefore, it is necessary for the ~vernment to make sure the availability offish for the people's consumption. The ~astal zone of West Lampung Regency is rich in fishery resources potential; however, the utilization has not been optimum yet. In line with this, it is "tI impQtant to fonnulate a good strategy to achieve optimum and sustainable fishe!.ies management. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential resom-ces and management of fisheries during the periods of 2003-2007 at the coasil zone of West Lampung. This study was to collect primary and secondary data~at were analyzed using SWOT. SWOT analysis is a technique used to idenSfy various factors systematically in order to fonnulate a management strat~y. SWOT analysis is based on the reasoning to maximize the strengths and opp<!tunities, and at the same time to minimize the weaknesses and threats. The resu@! showed that the total score for internal factor (strengths-weaknesses) was 0.23~d the total score for external factor was -0.32 (opportunities-threats); whici placed the fisheries management at the coastal zone of West Lampung rege~y in the second quadrant position. This meant that the support for condticting a diversification strategy, in which strengths are used to deal with threats. The priority of alternative strategy carried out for optimum and sustainable fisheries management was to develop aquaculture (fresh water and estuary), to resolve conflicts of interest on natural resources used at the coastal zone of West Lampung, and to improve the involvement of fonnal and non fonnal institutions in implementing environment friendly efforts as well as in resolving environmental degradation problems.

Judul: Karakteristik Carboxymethyl Chitosan Dengan Variasi Konsentrasi NaOH
Abstrak: Carboxymethyl chitosan is chitosan derivative product obtained from chemical modification. CMCh were made by alkalization process and carboxymethylation process. Factors that affect CMCh characteristics were excess sodium hydroxide in alkalization process, ratio between chitosan and monochloroacetic acid, and carboxymethylation temperature. The objectives of this research were to study the NaOH effect to CMCh characteristics, to learn process of making CMCh, to set the proper concentration of NaOH, and to analyze CMCh characteristics. CMCh yields were 110.72%-114.22%. CMCh pH value were 3.74-4.31. The optimum NaOH concentration to obtain the best CHCh was 10 M. Percentage of CMCh moisture content was 10.70%-11.42%. Ash content and nitrogen content of CMCh were 0.49%-0.50% and 4.52%-4.81%. CMCh viscousity was 8.25 cps. Percentage of CMCh solubility was 61.61%-91.50%. The different functional groups from chitosan which observed in CMCh were C=O group, CH group from alkene functional group, C−O group, and C−O−C group.
