The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) at Universitas Padjadjaran has implemented a program that emphasizes its commitment to equal pay and the elimination of gender-based wage disparities. This program includes systematic measurement of salary structures and evaluation of job responsibilities for all staff, including internal employees, third-party workers, and interns. FPIK’s workforce consists […]
A team of researchers from Universitas Padjadjaran and international collaborators has successfully isolated and identified cadmium-reducing bacteria from contaminated coastal sediment in Karangsong Port, Indramayu. Two promising isolates—Karangsong Cd3 and Cd7—were identified as Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii and Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis, capable of reducing cadmium concentrations in seawater by up to 50% within 6 hours. These bacteria demonstrated […]
A recent study led by Rusky Intan Pratama, lecturer at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran (FPIK Unpad), explores the intricate microbial and biochemical transformations that occur in traditional shrimp paste (terasi) production in Cirebon, West Java. The research examined microbial community changes and amino acid profiles in pre- and post-fermentation shrimp […]
A research study led by Dr. Yuniar Mulyani sheds light on the complex relationship between stocking density, stress, and immune response in G6 transgenic mutiara catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Using gene expression analysis and hormone profiling, the research compared transgenic and non-transgenic catfish under varying stocking densities, revealing significant differences in stress tolerance and immune resilience. […]
A recent study led by Professor Titin Herawati highlights the impact of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farming waste on the core zone ecosystems of Pangandaran Coastal Park, Indonesia. As a major hub for shrimp aquaculture, Pangandaran simultaneously serves as a critical conservation area for endangered sea turtles, yet its ecological balance is increasingly at risk […]
The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK) at Universitas Padjadjaran strengthens its commitment to sustainability by implementing a total of 71 Community Service Programs (PPM) directly supporting SDGs 13: Climate Action. These initiatives showcase FPIK’s role in advancing climate change mitigation, adaptation, and environmental awareness across coastal and inland communities. The PPM activities encompass […]
A new study published in All Earth (2025) reveals how ocean eddies—giant rotating currents—shape the Banda Sea’s circulation and energy balance. Using nearly three decades of satellite altimeter data (1993–2022), the research found that eddy kinetic energy (EKE) peaks between March and April, strongly influenced by the Southern Boundary Current (SBC). When the SBC intensifies, […]
This study investigates how demographic factors—including age, gender, education, occupation, and length of residence—affect how Indonesians perceive and engage with marine conservation. The research gathered responses from 3,159 individuals across 18 marine ecoregions, using both surveys and interviews to capture national-level insights.The findings reveal significant demographic differences in attitudes toward the ocean. Younger and more […]
Researchers from Universitas Padjadjaran contributed to Chapter 19 – “Climate Change Challenges: The Vital Role of Google Earth Engine for Sustainability of Small Islands in the Archipelagic Countries” (Elsevier, 2025). This chapter highlights how small islands in archipelagic nations serve as critical guardians of ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds, which in […]
The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) at Universitas Padjadjaran has supported 39 research projects across various departments, spanning fisheries to marine sciences. These projects directly contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through internal funding from Padjadjaran University amounting to 1,696,956,000, a total of 39 research projects were funded to strengthen higher […]
Jatinangor, 30 Agustus 2025 – The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) at Universitas Padjadjaran is committed to providing and maintaining comfortable and safe facilities for students and the academic community. One of the important facilities owned by FPIK is a pedestrian pathway made of concrete covering an area of 221 square meters, located […]
