Ecological Efficiency Comparison of Fisheries Resources Utilization

The faster developing of fisheries activities could give some negative impacts for environment. The problems such as over-fishing, by-catch, habitat degradation, and fisheries management could be the main issues that developed with the activities of this sector. Coastal fisheries valued over-fishing, meanwhile high fisheries is not optimally utilized yet. For giving recommendation to develop fisheries need a holistic study. The beginning step is studying the comperazing of ecological efficiency between coastal – and high fisheries. The objective goal of this study is knowing the comperazing of ecological efficiency between coastal – and high fisheries in Sukabumi District. The method use MIPS (Material Input Per Service unit) that developed by Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environmental, Energy (WI). The result of MIPS calculation show the different of ecological efficiency. For having 1 kg fresh fish from high fisheries and directly saled need the abiotic input 0,19 kg, biotic 1,26 kg, water 1,49 kg and air 0,03 kg, meanwhile for having 1 kg fresh fish from coastal fisheries and directly saled need the abiotic input 0,14 kg, biotic 1,33 kg, water 1,08 kg and air 0,04 kg. Averagely for having 1 kg fish from high fisheries need the material input of abiotic 0,35 kg, biotic 1,41 kg, water 2,89 kg and air 0,12 kg, meanwhile for having 1 kg fish from coastal fisheries need the material input of abiotic 0,27 kg, biotic 1,34 kg, water 1,95 kg and air 0,10 kg.
