Abstract Goals to be achieved through this research are as follows: (1) the scientific explanation about the initial conditions of fishing effort in the area of ​​research in this area is South Minahasa; (2) To obtain information on the historical development of the fish processing industry in North Sulawesi and Minahasa south in particular; (3) To be informed of the obstacles and challenges faced by the fisheries sector investors, especially fish processing timber. This research focuses on one unit of the fish processing industry wooden fish processing plant, and then in the case study method is relevant. The case study method is expected that researchers can examine more detailed and focused on problems experienced by fish processing company. As a consequence the results can not be generalized as like which would otherwise require science. Unless some case studies on the same topic on other companies and the result is the same, the efforts generalizations can be made. However the results of the case study can paint a picture on the history, constraints and barriers to investment that occur in similar industries and other industries. The initial condition of fisheries business investment in South Minahasa in 1995 was still dominated by small-scale businesses, which is limited to household livelihoods of fishermen. How governance is still very traditional in terms of business objectives just to meet daily food needs. Wooden fish processing technology already existed and developed since the year 700 BC in Japan. In Indonesia, especially in North Sulawesi started introduced in 1927 by a Japanese man named Hara Ko. The new investment started in 1971 until now. Investment in fish processing faces many obstacles and challenges, namely (1) the limited market share, (2) Legal certainty is not guaranteed, (3) Investors from outside the region and abroad to invest by holding on minimal information about the culture and traditions of local communities (4 ) morale of local residents very traditional if not arguably worse. (5) The investment policy is supported by the local government level only at the Regent while Assiten level, down to the village more displays of terror and intimidation to investors. Keywords: fish factory, investment, history, constraints, obstacles Abstrak Tujuan yang ingin dicapai melalui penelitian ini ialah sebagai berikut: (1) Penjelasan ilmiah tentang kondisi awal usaha perikanan di wilayah penelitian dalam hal ini Daerah Minahasa Selatan. (2) Memperoleh informasi tentang sejarah perkembangan industri pengolahan ikan di Sulawesi Utara dan Minahasa selatan khususnya. (3) Mendapatkan informasi mengenai kendala dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh investor bidang perikanan khususnya pengolahan ikan kayu. Penelitian ini berfokus pada satu unit industri pengolahan ikan yakni pabrik pengolahan ikan kayu, maka metode studi kasus di pandang relevan. Metode studi kasus diharapkan peneliti dapat mengkaji lebih rinci dan fokus pada masalah yang dialami oleh perusahan pengolahan ikan. Sebagai konsekwensinya hasil penelitian tidak dapat digeneralisir sebagai layaknya yang di syaratkan oleh ilmu pengetahuan. Kecuali beberapa studi kasus dengan topik yang sama pada perusahan lain dan hasilnya sama maka upaya generalisasi dapat dilakukan. Walau demikian hasil studi kasus dapat melukiskan gambaran mengenai sejarah, kendala dan hambatan investasi yang terjadi pada industri sejenis dan industri lainnya. Kondisi awal usaha perikanan di wilayah Minahasa selatan pada tahun 1995 ketika investasi pabrik pengolahan ikan kayu di mulai masih didominasi oleh usaha skala kecil, yaitu sebatas mata pencaharian rumah tangga nelayan. Cara kelola pun masih sangat tradisional dalam pengertian tujuan usaha hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan makanan harian. Teknologi pengolahan ikan kayu sudah ada dan berkembang sejak tahun 700 sebelum masehi di Jepang. Di Indonesia khususnya di Sulawesi Utara mulai di perkenalkan pada tahun 1927 oleh orang Jepang bernama Hara Ko. Investasi baru dimulai pada tahun 1971 hingga sekarang. Investasi bidang pengolahan ikan menghadapi banyak kendala dan tantangan, yaitu (1) keterbatasan pangsa pasar, (2) Kepastian hukum tidak terjamin, (3) Investor dari luar daerah dan luar negeri berinvestasi dengan berpegang pada informasi minim mengenai budaya dan tradisi masyarakat lokal (4) moral kerja penduduk lokal amat tradisional jika tidak boleh dikatakan buruk.(5) Kebijakan investasi ditunjang oleh pemerintah daerah hanya pada level Bupati sedangkan level assiten, ke bawah sampai kelurahan lebih banyak menampilkan teror dan intimidasi kepada investor. Kata Kunci : pabrik ikan, investasi, sejarah, kendala, hambatan

In fact, fish processing industry is very importance to support development a fishing port. It is the same with the case of territorial fishing port (PPN) of Palabuhanratu. So that a research to determine the condition of fish catch production that was able to support the development of fish processing industry, need to be done. A case study on the underdeveloped of fish processing industry in PPN Palabuhanratu was done. Data analysis using descriptive numerical projection of the catch by estimating the need for the development of fish processing industry. Processing type that exist in PPN Palabuhanratu and nowadays are the processing on fish freezing, fish boiling, fish salting, crisp chips, meatball fish and abon fish. Based on the result of projection, the best fish production prospective as raw material for fish processing industry are skipjack tunas, eastern little tuna, tunas, hairtails, shark, ponyfish, ray, Indo-Pacific marlin, scads and wolf herring. A preceding ten year period of 2008-2017, the production of skipjack tunas, eastern little tuna, tunas, ponyfish, Indo-Pacific marlin, scads and wolf herring tend to increase, while the others will decrease. The development of other types of processing industries can be done for freezing, canning, fillet, loin, surimi and nuggets fish.

The seafood processing industry is the major food processing industry in Thailand. It consumes large quantities of water and thereby generates huge volumes of wastewater of a polluting nature. A major tuna processing factory is presented as a case study to highlight the inter-related issues of excessive use of groundwater, the resultant deterioration in water quality and the economic consequences of this impact. To address these issues, the need to conserve water and reuse it is also examined in relation to the design and operation of a wastewater treatment plant using high loading rates in anaerobic ponds followed by a conventional activated sludge system.

Different sources can lead to modifications at a workstation such as external (out of control of the company) and internal (intended by the company) sources. Modifications from both source types could potentially influence the level of exposure of employees to different risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The use of different ergonomic evaluation methods can help understand the influence of modifications at a workstation and whether they have a positive or negative impact. This is shown through an example from the fish processing industry.

Abstract Water generated from the fish processing industry is contaminated with organic matter. This organic matter present in wastewater increases the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). A new technology, hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is used to deal with this wastewater produced in fish processing plants. The orifice plate is used in the HC reactor to generate a cavitation effect. The intensification of this technique was carried out with the help of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and TiO2. The treatment of this wastewater is reported in terms of percent degradation in BOD and COD and in biodegradability index (BI). Operating parameters like inlet pressure, pH, operating temperature and H2O2 doses were used to find the optimum condition. 15 g/L of H2O2 gave 69.5% reduction of COD in the 120 min of treatment that also increases BI value to 0.93 at inlet pressure 8 bar, Plate-5, temperature (30 °C), and pH 4. In the ultrasonic cavitation (UC) reactor, COD reduction is 68.7% without TiO2 and with TiO2 it is 71.2%. Also, this HC and UC reactor reduced CFU count to a great extent at the same operating conditions.
