Optimizing the Trash Fish Supply Chain: A Sustainable Model for Marine Fisheries in East Java, Indonesia
The supply chain is a series of processes that connect various stages of production, distribution, and delivery of goods or services from producers to final consumers. Understanding the supply chain enables companies to monitor the quality of raw materials and components used in production, allowing them to take quick action if problems with product quality arise. Several regions, including Tuban, Sidoarjo, and Banyuwangi, have significant potential for producing marine fishery products, with the fisheries sector serving as one of the main pillars of their regional economies. These areas have diverse aquatic environments, ranging from coastal waters to deep-sea areas. This environmental diversity supports various species of fish and marine organisms, resulting in abundant fisheries resources, including trash fish. Trash fish refers to small fish that are caught but are not the primary target of fishermen. This research aimed to develop a supply chain management model for trash fish that ensures high quality and efficiency in line with its intended use. The study utilizes both primary and secondary data. The results indicate sustainability index scores of 63.319 for the environmental dimension, 44.173 for the social dimension, 61.747 for the technological dimension, 45.578 for the economic dimension, and 24.454 for the resource dimension. Overall, the trash fish supply chain in Tuban, Sidoarjo, and Banyuwangi is not yet fully sustainable. Implementing zero-waste management in trash fish processing is essential to optimize utilization, increase added value, and enhance the economic potential of trash fish.
