This study explores the global landscape of research on biosurfactants—naturally derived surface-active compounds from microbes—focusing on their potential as antimicrobial agents. With the growing crisis of antimicrobial resistance, scientists are increasingly turning to biosurfactants for their biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly properties. Using bibliometric analysis of 908 publications indexed in Scopus between 1991 and 2023, […]
A recent study led by Universitas Padjadjaran has investigated the contamination of pathogenic bacteria in vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farming areas along the Pangandaran coast, West Java. Researchers analyzed pond water, seawater, and sediment samples from five stations and found that sediment contained the highest bacterial loads (2.854×10⁷ CFU/g), including harmful species such as Vibrio […]
A new study published in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries (2025) examines the threats facing freshwater amphidromous goby fish in the Cimaja River–estuary, Sukabumi, Indonesia. These migratory fish, which move between freshwater and marine habitats, face both internal threats such as low egg survival and high larval mortality, and external threats from […]
A new study published in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries (2025) explored the role of Bacillus subtilis CgM22—a probiotic bacterium isolated from fish intestines—in boosting the immune system of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Researchers identified antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes such as surfactin (SrfAA) and subtilin (SpaS), which demonstrated strong antibacterial potential. Feeding […]
Original Title: Evaluation of the nutritional value of fermented pangasius fish waste and its potential as a poultry feed supplement SDGs Connection Secondary SDGs: SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, SDG 14 – Life Below Water Narrative Explanation A research team from Universitas Padjadjaran explored an innovative way to transform pangasius fish processing waste into a […]
A recent study published in BIO Web of Conferences (2025) explores the socio-economic dynamics of small-scale octopus fisheries in East Java, Indonesia. Conducted in Sumenep, Banyuwangi, and Malang, the research highlights how octopus fishing serves as a crucial livelihood for coastal communities, while also facing significant challenges such as climate change, fluctuating market prices, high […]
Bandung, 10 Februari 2025 – Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan (FPIK) Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) menyelenggarakan International Workshop on Fish Reproductive Hormone Assays (ELISA Kits) 2025 bekerja sama dengan Borneo Marine Research Institute, University Malaysia Sabah (UMS). Workshop ini akan berlangsung dari tanggal 10 hingga 14 Februari 2025 dan berfokus pada pengujian hormon ikan menggunakan ELISA […]
A recent study published in Trends in Sciences (2025) investigated how cold shock treatments affect larval viability and chromosome manipulation in the Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus). By applying temperature shocks at different times after fertilization, researchers found that a 3-minute cold shock at 6 °C, given 28 minutes after fertilization, produced the highest tetraploid […]
A research collaboration led by Institut Teknologi Bandung with contributions from Universitas Padjadjaran’s Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (represented by Dr. Eri Bachtiar) has successfully developed a dimer-based screening system (DBSS) to target Mycobacterium tuberculosis’s PhoR sensor kinase. This innovation opens a promising path toward the discovery of novel anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs, especially in […]
A new study led by researchers from Universitas Padjadjaran, in collaboration with Universitas Hasanuddin and Andalas University, has successfully modeled the potential habitat of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the Makassar Strait using satellite-derived oceanographic data and the MaxEnt model. By integrating parameters such as sea surface temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, sea surface height, wind, and […]
Jatinangor, Desember 31, 2024 A number of research and development activities in the field of marine affairs and fisheries have been carried out with funding support from various important agencies, with the aim of improving the management of Indonesia’s marine resources. The following is a summary of the main projects and their funding amounts: PKS […]
The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran (FPIK Unpad), has successfully secured a research grant totaling Rp 574,017,638 dedicated to projects supporting SDG 13: Climate Action. The flagship project under this grant, “Utilizing Climate-Smart Shrimp Farming as a Nature-Based Climate Solution for Small-Scale Farmers in Coastal Indonesia,” aims to strengthen coastal resilience, support […]
