Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi dalam pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan adalah kurang selektifnya berbagai jenis alat tangkap yang digunakan oleh para nelayan. Akibatnya adalah tertangkapnya ikan-ikan yang bukan menjadi tujuan penangkapan (bycatch) yang dalam prakteknya sebagian besar ikan-ikan tersebut dibuang ke laut (discarded catch). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menginventarisasi komposisi jenis dan ukuran ikan hasil tangkapandari alat tangkap bagan perahu dan bagan tancap.Lokasi penelitian di Kelurahan Oesapa sebagai sentra pemukiman nelayan bagan perahu danbagan tancap di Kota Kupang dan di Perairan Teluk Kupang.Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode survei dengan obyek penelitian yaitu: fakta, proses, histori, persepsi tentang perikanan bagan perahu, komposisi jenis dan ukuran ikan tangkapan yang meliputi identifikasi hasil tangkapan, berat (kilogram), jumlah (ekor), panjang cagak (fork length), keliling maksimum (maximum girth), dan lebar badan ikan. Cara mengukur panjang baku pada penelitian ini yaitu jarak garis lurus antara ujung bagian kepala yang paling depan (biasanya ujung salah satu dari rahang yang terdepan) sampai ke pelipatan pangkal sirip ekor.Hasil menunjukkan bahwa jenis ikan yang dominan tertangkap pada bagan perahu adalah ikan teri, peperek dan kembung, sedangkan pada bagan tancap ikan peperek, teri dan tembang. One of the problems faced in using fish resources is the lack of selectivity of various types of fishing gear used by fishermen. The result is the catch of fish which is not the purpose of arrest(bycatch) which in practice most of the fish are discarded catch. This study aims to identify and inventory the type and size offish catches (boat lift net and fix lift net). Research location in Oesapa village in Kupang City in Kupang Bay. This research was conducted by survey method with research object that is: fact, process, history, perception of fishery boat lift net, species composition and size of fish catch including identification of catch, weight (kilogram), number (tail), length of fork length, maximum girth, and fish body width, mesh size. The method of measuring the standard length in this study is the distance of a straight line between the tip of the front of the head (usually the tip of one of the leading jaws) to the tail fin's base. The results show that the dominant fish species in boat lift net are anchovies, pony fishes, and long-jawed mackereland, from fix lift net, are pony fishes, anchovy and sardine.

Lontar palm (Borassus flabeliffer L.) fruit is one of the specific tropical fruits from East Nusa Tenggara province (NTT)-Indonesia that is rich in functional compounds such as beta-carotene as an antioxidant and food fiber.  However, the utilization of these fruits is still limited due to the streroidal saponins and pholifenol content that makes them taste bitter and less favored by consumers. Therefore, one alternative that can be done is by enriching them into ice cream products. The production of Ice cream cannot go through with high heating processing so that the antioxidants extracted from lontar palm mesocarp can be in a stable condition. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ice cream on the acceptability values of the hedonic test, determining of fiber and beta-carotene content and evaluating antioxidant activities fortification from the lontar's mesocarp. The amount of lontar mesocarp for fortification (F) were 30%, 40% and 50% of the wet weight with the combination of some variation of milk treatment such as full cream milk, sweetened condensed milk, and liquid soy milk. The acceptability of the product was tested using hedonic test against color, aroma, texture, and flavor parameter. Antioxidant activity was performed by determination of the DPPH value (1.1-diphenyl-2picryhydrazil radical-scavenging), dietary fiber using enzymatic-gravimetric methods and UV-Vis spectrophotometers to analyze the content of beta-carotene. The results showed that on the acceptability test, the most preferred samples valued by panelists were the fortification, F1 treatment  (30%) with the content of β-carotene of full cream milk was 2212.44 ± 11.82 μg /100 mg, dietary fiber was 8.95 ± 0.05%, and antioxidant activity was 45.54 ± 0.36%.
