EVALUASI PERTUMBUHAN RUMPUT LAUT (EUCHEUMA COTTONII) PADA BUDIDAYA METODE LONG LINE DI PERAIRAN PANTAIKABUPATEN BANGGAI KEPULAUAN
ABSTRACT: Seaweed (Eucheuma
cottonii) is one type of fishery commodities with high economic value. These commodities
have been developed in several areas in Indonesia, one of them is in the
Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi. Problems in the development of commodity
seaweed in Banggai is a lack of understanding and seriousness in seaweed
cultivation, lack of variety in designing seaweed cultivation techniques as
well as the suitability of the location of aquaculture that can support increased
productivity. The use of long-line method is considered still the best way.
This study aimed to evaluate the seaweed cultivation methods long line in the
village of Liang and Apal, Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi. The results
showed that the seaweed growth rate were not significantly different when we
compared them based on sediment types. For instance, Liang village sediment was
sandy silt while we found rocky substrate at Apal village. Therefore it can be
concluded that long line method can be applied without taking into account the
type of sediment.
