Technical Efficiency of Lobster (Panulirus sp) Farming in East Lombok Regency

Abstract

East Lombok Regency is one of the centers for the development of aquaculture and the largest lobster seed producer in Indonesia. However, in terms of productivity, lobster cultivation is still relatively low due to the less optimal use of production factors and management in carrying out lobster rearing cultivation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that affect the production of lobster rearing aquaculture and to analyze the level of technical efficiency and the factors that influence the technical inefficiency of lobster rearing aquaculture in East Lombok Regency. Descriptive research method was selected in this research. Cross section data was collected using a survey technique on 40 respondents who were selected by simple random sampling. The collected data was then analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier production function with the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) method. The results showed that the production of lobster rearing aquaculture in East Lombok Regency was significantly influenced at the alpha level 5% by the variables of the number of cages, feed, number of family dependents and dummy species. The level of technical efficiency of lobster rearing cultivation is classified as efficient with a technical efficiency value of 0.94. Then the factors that affect the inefficiency of lobster rearing business in East Lombok Regency include age, education level and training dummy.

Analysis of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Lobster Cultivation Activities (Panulirus spp.) in East Lombok Regency

“…Lobster is one of the leading aquaculture commodities in the waters of Ekas Bay and Jukung Telong Elong Bay, Jerowar Sub-District, East Lombok Regency (Nursan et al, 2021). This is in accordance with great attention given by the central and regional governments to the existence of lobster cultivators.…”

Analisis pemasaran lobster mutiara (Panulirus ornatus) di Kabupaten Lombok Timur

“…Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif (Sugiono, 2017). Penentuan daerah penelitian dilakukan secara purposive di Desa Paremas dan Desa Jerowaru, Kecamatan Jerowaru, Kabupaten Lombok Timur karena merupakan merupakan kawasan sentra produksi lobster (Nursan et al, 2021)…”

Availability of puerulus from natural catch for lobster panulirus spp. nursery culture

“…Lobster has become one of the global marine commodities (Penn et al, 2015), with high economic value and price at US$ 100 per kg for 1 kg size and US$ 50 -80 per kg for 300 g -1 kg size. Indonesia's export destinations for lobsters are Hongkong, Vietnam, China, and Singapore (Nursan et al, 2021). The Indonesian lobster export value in 2014-2019 was occupied with growing an average of 3.54% per year (BPS, 2021).…”

“…Lobsters have become a commodity that is partly available from the natural catch product, while lobster culture has not yet been performed well in Indonesia, even in other countries (Prompatanapaka dan Lopetcharat, 2020; Goodman et al, 2021). The regulation of lobster culture business needs more attention to produce sustainable lobster, following the market demand (Nursan et al, 2021) and social aspects (Turner et al, 2014;Caputi et al, 2015). Lampung Province, specifically in the Pesisir Barat area, has abundant lobster seeds (puerulus), known as the lobster catching area, which the fishermen utilize as the main income source.…”
