Abstract

The increasing population and rising living standards are expected to contribute to higher demand for animal-derived high-quality protein, primarily from fish. Capture fisheries have become a leading sector that supplies fish production for human consumption and fish processing industries. As the center of fish production from capture fisheries, the fishing port is vital to maintaining the supply and distribution of fish. The utilization of low-economic fish is generally consumed by local people and processed into salted fish. At the same time, it can become fresh material in the fish processing industry to increase its added value. The papers discuss the opportunity to utilize low-economic fish in fishing ports through the development fish processing industry based on fish production and each product’s economic value. The potential amount of fish product was estimated based on application in the field and referred to previous research. The economic value is calculated based on market price. The production of low-economic fish in Karangantu reached 3,091 tons, with an average annual production of 2791 tons. The processing of low-economic fish into surimi, gelatin, and derivative products will increase the added value if it is only sold fresh for IDR 13.96 billion. The highest added value is obtained from fish meatballs at IDR 60.29 billion. The added value from surimi is IDR 46.89 billion. Low-economic fish processing can increase added value, create new jobs, and grow the fishery’s economic activity at the fishing port.
