“…In fisheries, the value chain relies heavily on the utilization of natural and environmental resources. It is used as a managerial tool to reduce processing and distribution costs, improve product quality and productivity, and enable economic agents (chain driving forces) to evaluate the level of the development of value production activities (production, marketing, distribution, and support to the final consumer) (Swara and Intyas, 2021;Vieira Crespo et al, 2021). Natural resources in coastal areas are divided into three types, namely mangrove resources, coral resources, and seagrass resources (Intyas et al, 2020).…”

Coral is the main component of coral reefs and forms an ecosystem that is home to approximately 93 000 species of marine biota. In their development, corals are traded and become decorations in aquariums because of their beauty. Currently, in Indonesia, the trade in ornamental corals is still on an export scale, including hard coral species, which are strictly monitored because some are included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Appendix II. This research aimed to analyze the ornamental coral value chain at an ornamental coral company in Banyuwangi related to value-added activities, governance, and profit margins to see economic and environmental sustainability using the Porter value chain. The results showed that the primary activities that still needed to be more optimal were operational activities and outbound logistics, environmental factors (weather conditions), and improper handling causing coral death or damage (wounds). Meanwhile, the secondary activities that could have been more optimal are infrastructure and technology development. The profit margin obtained by the company was 97 523.53 US dollars with a value of 45.16% of revenue, showing that the business is profitable. Therefore, infrastructure improvements and technology development are still needed for optimal results. Further research is recommended to be conducted in relation to business development strategies and improvement of coral quality and packaging processes. Additionally, in order to support better traceability and long-term business sustainability for corals, the dearth of historical data on the ornamental coral trade in Indonesia needs to be tackled.

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is one of the marine organisms that are of significant economic importance. The habitat is distributed in the coastal areas of Indonesia, within the extensive mangrove ecosystems, such as the estuary of Beladen in Dompak, Tanjungpinang. The Beladen estuary area features a flourishing mangrove ecosystem, which supports a diverse range of crab species, with a particular focus on the populations. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain several aspects of mangrove crab in the Beladen estuary, Tanjungpinang. Sampling by the census method was also carried out once every two weeks from May to June 2022. The results showed that the size composition of mangrove crab had a carapace width (CW) of 70-144 mm. The length-weight relationship reported that female and male exhibited a negative and positive allometric growth pattern (b < 3) and (b > 3), respectively. The proportion of male and female was 63% compared to 37% (sex ratio 1:0.59). The value of gonadal maturity index (GMI) in each size class ranged from 2,6512-7,1445 and 1,8751-6,7979 for male and female mangrove crab. Male and female gonadal maturity levels were predominantly categorized as II and III, indicating that crab with mature gonads was not encountered.
