Training on how to make floating cage net for sea urchin culture at Desa Pisou, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Sea urchin (sea urchin) is a fishery resource that is currently abundant in Pisou Village, Pagimana District, Central Sulawesi. This abundance is caused by the high productivity of sea urchins and the lack of utilization of sea urchins by the local community. The high density of sea urchins causes the quality of sea urchin eggs to be less good and taste bitter. This is mainly due to the insufficient availability of feed in nature. This service was held in Pisou Village for 5 weeks from February-March 2020. The aim of this service is to cultivate sea urchins to improve the quality of sea urchin eggs that are not good and bitter. Another goal is to teach the community about how to use sea urchin eggs into food and its processed in the form of crackers. The result of this activity is the availability of floating net cages in Pisou Village which are ready to use for the cultivation of sea urchins.
