Penerapan Inovasi Booster Umpan dan Teknologi Perangkap Krendet Bertingkat Untuk Pemanfaatan Sumberdaya Krustasea di Desa Loji, Kecamatan Simpenan, Kabupaten Sukabumi

Abstract

The community empowerment program for fishermen who are members of KUB Berkah Sagara aims to disseminate the innovation of frozen bait booster and 2-deck krendet trap technology as additional fishing gear in their fishing operations. Activities were carried out at Loji Village and the IPB Palabuhanratu Marine Field Station. Activities were carried out using FGD methods, interviews, technical training and trials of catching crustaceans. KUB Berkah Sagara Partner Fishermen have an age range of between 30 - 59 years with a formal education level between elementary - vocational/high school. Skills as a fisherman have been passed down from generation to generation and they are not yet aware of the innovation of the 2-deck krendet trap and the frozen bait booster innovation. After the training activities, fishermen finally understood the 2-deck krendet trap innovation and the frozen bait booster innovation practically. Fishermen carry out trial activities for catching crustaceans alternately on each trip. The 2-door of 2-deck krendet trap provides a higher catch of crustaceans in the number of tails and weight compared to traditional, 1-door and 3-door of 2-deck krendet trap. The average distribution of crustaceans caught in 2-deck  krendet trap was >70% caught in the bottom trap and <30% in the upper trap. The use of a 2-door of 2-deck krendet trap should be operated with a single buoy colony system with a ratio between the number of 2-deck krendet traps and the number of frozen bait boosters of 5:1, where the frozen bait booster is placed in a collapsible trap and the 2-deck krendet trap uses trash fish bait, such as sardine or pony fish.
