Fishermen Hard to Catch Fish, IPB Students Make Rumpon Portable

In addition to the complete fishing gear, to get fish catches that are quite a lot, FADs are needed. However, to make FADs is very expensive.

This condition encouraged the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) to create portable FADs that were affordable and compact, easily packed and equipped with frequencies that could trigger fish to come to the Rumpon portable (more info >> click here).

One of the students who innovated in portable FADs was Shidiq Lanang Prasetyo which began with research almost a year before the tool was made.

"The initial idea was that I saw many of our fishermen whose catches were minimal even though the tools were quite complete and it turned out that one of the obstacles was making FADs at very high prices," he was met by VIVA at the I3E at Jogja City Mall, Saturday, October 27 2018.




This portable cluster is no different from usual FADs. However, FADs that usually use coconut leaves are tied with ropes and given weights and buoys, coconut leaves, replaced with raffia ropes and added with sound frequency devices that can summon fish and gather around FADs.

"Rumpon rope is only about seven meters into the sea and it will be effective around 3-4 hours down to the sea because the fish will definitely come," he said.
