lautnusantara.com The modern fisheries industry demands a supply chain system that is not only efficient but also ensures product safety and quality all the way to the consumer. One of the main challenges facing this sector is the risk of fish contamination, whether by pathogenic microorganisms, chemicals, or heavy metals, which can degrade product quality and endanger public health.
Contamination can occur at various points in the supply chain—from capture or cultivation, through on-board handling, processing, storage, and distribution. At the upstream stage, the use of contaminated water or feed containing hazardous chemicals is a major source of contamination. Meanwhile, at the processing stage, a clean work environment, equipment sanitation, and worker hygiene are key factors in preventing the entry of pathogenic microbes such as Salmonella spp., Vibrio spp., and Listeria monocytogenes.
To minimize these risks, the implementation of quality assurance systems such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and SSOP (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures) is mandatory. This system allows for the identification of critical control points (CCPs) at every stage of production, allowing for measurable preventive measures.
Furthermore, monitoring of water quality, storage temperature, and refrigerated transportation (cold chain systems) plays a crucial role in maintaining fish safety. Regular training for workers on sanitation and personal hygiene principles is also an integral part of the food safety system in the fisheries industry.
Government institutions such as the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and the Investment Coordinating Board (BKIPM) are crucial in ensuring that all fisheries processing and distribution units are certified according to Good Fish Handling Practices (CPIB) and Good Fish Cultivation Practices (CBIB). This certification not only guarantees product quality but also increases export market confidence in Indonesian fisheries products.
With the implementation of an integrated quality management system and shared awareness among all supply chain actors, the Indonesian fisheries industry has the potential to become a model of sustainability that balances productivity, food safety, and consumer protection.
