Determination of the location of the study was conducted purposively with its population was seaweed farmers from ten villages in Kei Kecil as the villages of seaweed production centers. The method of analysis used is the operation analysis of financial and added value analysis method Hayami. The results showed that the cultivation of seaweed and flour mills karaginan feasible to develop. The ratio of added value of 9.05% and in 1997 Hubeis magnitude of the ratio of value added is calculated in accordance with the criteria of low added value ratio <15%.Keywords: Financial Analysis, Added-value, Seaweed, Flour Caragenan

Tual cityhasthe abundantmarine and fishery potencies because most ofthe region is the ocean.This study aimed to determine the contribution value of marine and fisheries sector to PDRB (GDP), to know the status or the level of the economic base of marine and fisheries sector in the city of Tual, and to formulate alternative development strategies of marine and fisheries sector in order to play a bigger role in the development of the Tualcity.  The result of this research indicated that the contribution value of marine and fisheries sector to PDRB (GDP) in Tual city gave a very big contribution in agricultural sector. The analysis of LQ indicated that the marine and fishery sector is said to bethe economic base sector  .Aglomeration analysis indicated that the sector activity of marine and fishery in Tual was not centralizedinvariousplacesaround Tual.  The calculation results of the specialization analysis on marine and fisheries sector inTual showed the unspecialized state.  It means that the marine and fisheries sector as not be enable to produce a particular fishery commodities. Therefore, the role from all elements is needed.  The effect of marine and fishery sector tend to fluctuate.  It was influenced by the economic condition after the region was divided.

Kebijakan penangkapan ikan terukur dengan karakteristik teknis dan daerah penangkapan yang berbeda dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur sangat mempengaruhi pengembangan usaha nelayan purse seine skala kecil di Kepuluan Kei. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis usaha purse seine skala kecil yang beroperasi dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur di Kepulauan Kei. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian survey, teknik penentuan responden berdasarkan purposive sampling. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa aspek teknis purse seine tipe dua kapal lebih besar dibandingkan tipe satu kapal, daerah penangkapan purse seine tipe dua kapal berada dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur WPP-NRI 714 dan 718, sedangkan purse seine tipe satu kapal beroperasi di WPP-NRI 714. Aspek ekonomi menunjukan bahwa pendapatan usaha, pemilik, nelayan ABK dan rumpon tertinggi adalah purse seine tipe dua kapal yang beroperasi dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur WPP-NRI 714. Aspek finansial usaha perikanan purse seine tipe satu dan dua kapal yang beroperasi dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur WPP-NRI 714 dan 718 layak untuk dikembangkan. Usaha perikanan purse seine skala kecil tipe satu dan dua kapal yang beroperasi dalam zona penangkapan ikan terukur WPP-NRI 714 lebih efektif dan efesien baik secara teknis, ekonomi dan finansial. Untuk tujuan pengelolaan maka pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan dalam zona penangkapan terbatas di WPP-NRI 714 sebaiknya hanya diperuntukan bagi purse seine skala kecil tipe satu kapal dengan kapasitas kapal < 5 GT dan beroperasi pada jalur penangkapan 1 dan 2, sementara purse seine tipe dua kapal dalam zona penangkapan industri di WPP-NRI 718 pada jalur 2 dan 3.

Inflammatory disease in gastric tract called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly colon, in general, results from the use of non-steroid  anti-inflammatory drug, such as indomethacine. The use of natural material, such as mas ngur oyster (Atactodea striata) as traditional medicine has been long known by people in Kei Islands–Southeast Mallucas. This study is aimed at measuring the ability of active compounds of this oyster extract in reducing NF-κB and TNF-α expression and showing the histological image of indomethacine-induced rat ileum with IBD after treatment with mas ngur oyster extract. It used 8-12 week old male rats (Rattus norvegicus) of 150 - 200 g BW. The rats were divided into 3 groups, healthy group, sick group (induced with 15 mg/kg BW of indomethacine), and treatment group (orally induced with indomethacine at a dose of 15 mg/kg BW then treated with mas ngur oyster extract at the dose of 100, 400, 700 mg/kg BW). Indomethacine induction at the dose of 15 mg/kg BW and mas ngur oyster extract therapy were orally administered. NF-κB and TNF-α expressions were measured using immunohistochemicals, and the histological image used Hematoksilin-Eosin staining. Results showed that extract therapy gave significant effect (P<0.05) at the effective dose of 400 mg/kg BW that could reduce 86.421% of NF-κB expression and 60.972% of TNF-α expression in the rat ileum and result in tissue recovery of the IBD rat’s ileum after the therapy.
