Judul: Development of Sustainable Giob Fisheries in Kayoa, South Halmahera
Abstrak: Giob fishery is one of the major fisheries in Kayoa, South Halmahera Regency, requires various aspects related studies. This study aims to formulate alternative development strategies of giob fisheries sustainability. Data collection was conducted from November 2011 to October 2012. The analysis includes: giob fishing conditions, biology of halfbeak fish (Hemiramphus sp.), giob fisheries technical evaluation, giob fisheries sustainability, and sustainable development of giob fisheries. This study showed that halfbeak females experienced two phases of the gonads mature season i.e. in January-March and September-November. The food composition of the fish consisted of phytoplankton (52.80%), debris (31.36%), crustaceans (12.04%), zooplankton (3.73%), and fish scales (0,08%).The natural mortality rate (M) was 0.78 per year, greater than rate of fishing mortality (F) of 1.48 per year, the exploitation rate (E) of 0.65 per year. Technical factors of giob production that have a significant influence was fuel price. In term of financial analysis, the giop vessel size of 10.5 GT benefit better than the size of 4.5 and 15 GT. The parameter of NPV, IRR, B/C ratio, ROI for the vessel of 10.5 GT was Rp 72,795,666; 7.02%, 1.04; 7.80, respectively. This study suggest that priority sequence of development strategies of sustainable giob fisheries in study area (with interest ratio) are: 1) monitoring of exploitation of halfbeak fish resources (0.421); 2) conduct a capacity building program for the giob fishermen ( 0.226); 3) technological innovation of giop fishing gear (0.222); 4) to establish a cooperative management (co-management) for giop fisheries (0.180), and 5) cacth optimum of halfbeak fish (0.132).

Abstrak: The objectives this research were : (1) to assess the impact of fishing unit assistance to increasing fisheries income level, in North Halmahera Regency, (2) to assess influence mayor factors of fisheries income level (3) to selection of alternative policy strategy for sustainable increasing fisheries income level. Result of this research show that, most of the level of fishing technology used is relatively simple, except pajeko fishing technology has relatively advanced technology. The fishing unit’s empowerment program significantly positive impact on improving the income of fishermen. Based on feasible and investment criteria analysis indicate pajeko fishing unit of gillnet, bottom long line and mini purse seine more feasible to be developed in North Halmahera regency. Result of matrix internal factors analysis summary (IFAS) indicated that total factor internal value in IFAS between 3,1 ³ 2,5, its mean internal condition had strength to overcome weakness state. Whereas result external factors analysis summary (EFAS) show that the total EFAS value between 2,6 ³ 2,5, its mean system capable to response external state. Base on SWOT (strenght–weakness, opportunity-threat) analysis obtain six development strategies of increasing fisheries income: (1) Scale business fisheries development; (2) Improved fishing infrastructure; (3) Development of market aces (4) Training programs for fisheries capacity development; (5) The Law enforcements; (6) Partnership development.

Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
