CASE STUDY OF JATILUHUR RESERVOIR AS A POTENTIAL FARMING FISHERIES ACTIVITIES

Fisheries

The land around the Jatiluhur Reservoir is utilized by the community as a residential area, industry, aquaculture activities using a floating net cage system (KJA), and even agriculture. This affects the quality of the surrounding ecosystem. Based on the results of water quality analysis in four sub-districts, namely Tegalwaru, Sukasari, Sukatani, and Jatiluhur Subdistricts to be used as a parameter for the Jatiluhur Reservoir pollution index, it was found that the condition of the waters was lightly to moderately polluted due to high levels of phosphate and nitrate. This can increase the BOD value (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Dissolved Solids). With the use of the Jatiluhur reservoir as a place for fish farming activities, of course we have to know about the potential feasibility of the Jatiluhur reservoir as a fish farming activity based on the water conditions. The condition of the waters can be seen from the water quality as based on physical factors, chemical factors, and biological factors in the waters of the Jatiluhur Reservoir. To find out the potential feasibility of the Jatiluhur reservoir as a cultivation activity, a SWOT analysis is needed. This study uses the method of reviewing various literature which is then carried out a SWOT analysis. The approach to reservoirs that is managed in an integrated manner is carried out through implementation, including the following: 1) As a coordinator and director of existing sector activities; 2) So that the utilization of aquatic natural resources can be carried out optimally; and 3) Integrated fisheries natural resource management activities and the desired goals are achieved (Krismono 1988 in Siagian 2014). Guarantees that need to be considered for the use of floating net cages in a reservoir, namely: 1) Total waste generated; 2) The developed KJA can suppress negative impacts; and 3) Bearing capacity must be considered. The principles used to develop aquaculture are sustainability and responsibility.
