“…The fishing community at this research location has been able to identify the problems they face. This needs to be followed up with program planning to realize participatory empowerment (Mengo et al, 2023). The benefit of local community participation in empowerment is increasing the local community's sense of ownership of the program that will be implemented in empowerment (Pineda et al, 2023).…”

Coastal communities are very close to natural wealth in the form of ample marine resources. In reality, coastal communities are positioned as groups that are socially, economically, and ecologically vulnerable. This vulnerability is motivated by the non-participatory empowerment of fishermen. This research aims to map the local potential of the fishing community in Pulo Sarok Village, Singkil District, Aceh Singkil Regency. This research is supported by qualitative methods to explore local communities' dynamics and map their resources. Data collection techniques used observation, in-depth interviews, and FGD (focus group discussion). Determining informants used the snowball sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the concept of local community empowerment initiated by Jim Ife and Frank Tesoriero. The findings from this research show that fishing communities consist of human resources that rely on local knowledge and local culture to utilize and preserve natural resources. The fishing community also has the skills to establish synergy with the village government to accommodate all their needs. The local community-based empowerment model is very suitable for fishermen who need traditional markets to distribute their catch. Fishermen must be positioned as the main actors in empowerment who best understand their problems and needs. Further research is highly recommended to analyze external parties who can facilitate fishing communities in implementing empowerment to achieve prosperity.

“…Aquaculture is growing rapidly as a global food-producing sector and continues to flourish day by day [1][2][3][4]. It has been introduced in various regions of developing nations, including Africa and Asia, to provide rural communities with the chance to improve their quality of life and find a way out of poverty [5] by having a family income [6,7].…”

Aquaculture is growing rapidly as a food-producing sector and in recent years fishmeal prices have climbed more than two-fold on a global scale. This review of previous studies was performed to contribute to the extant literature on the aquaculture sector to aid cost reduction of aquafeeds by identifying substitute proteins that can replace fishmeal. The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) using the SCOPUS and WOS (Web of Science), DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), Academia, and PubMed Central databases. A total of 59 articles were included in the synthesis after screening for duplicates and articles that did not conform to the criteria. Results have shown that the 100% replacement of fishmeal with blood meal (BM) did not affect the growth of fish, nor did the 75% to 100% combination of poultry-by-product (PBM), feather meal (FEM), and BM. Moreover, a 10% replacement of fishmeal using seaweed (Gracilaria arcuata) had no adverse effect on the feed efficiency and growth performance of tilapia. Similarly, a 50% replacement of fishmeal using black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), and a 25% replacement using soybean (Glycine max) also showed better results for fish growth. Our review shows that alternative protein can replace fishmeal in the aquaculture sector and reduce the cost of aquafeeds since alternative proteins are much cheaper than the usual fishmeal. Adoption of these alternative protein sources hinges on financial support, start-up incentives for companies, and ongoing studies on waste-to-feed production, which the government can also support.
