History

The Fisheries Science Study Program is a department that studies various sciences regarding Aquaculture or Aquaculture, Utilization of Fishery Resources, Aquatic Resources Management and Fishery Product Processing. Education in the field of fisheries has quite a lot of enthusiasts, as evidenced by the existence of 18 Vocational High Schools on Sumbawa Island which have majors related to fisheries. However, the lack of universities on the island of Sumbawa that offer fisheries science majors makes it difficult for many students to continue their education to a higher level. It is hoped that this study program will be able to assist local governments in increasing human resources who are experts in the field of fisheries.

The Fisheries Science Study Program at the Sumbawa University of Technology (UTS) is the answer to the needs of the people of Sumbawa Regency (including Districts/Cities throughout Sumbawa Island) in maximizing the use of large water resources. According to the 2019 BPS data, Sumbawa Regency has a water resource potential of 9,014,176.63 hectares, and has only been utilized for an area of ​​1,391,754.62 hectares. Fish Production Potential in Kab. Sumbawa is also quite large and has not been improved optimally. Regency. Sumbawa has a lot of potential for the development of production of several fishery commodities, such as seaweed and shrimp (pond). The increasing number of types of fishing industry, both in the upstream and downstream sectors, also has a significant impact on increasing the production of fishery products.

The increasing number of industries in the fisheries sector in Sumbawa Regency certainly needs to be taken seriously. Especially in the preparation of local human resources who have the right scientific capacity in managing the potential of waters in Sumbawa Regency. Therefore, UTS as one of the higher education institutions in 6 districts. Sumbawa considers it important to establish the Fisheries Science Study Program. This Study Program is here to produce competent human resources in the field of aquaculture, entrepreneurial spirit and environmentally sustainable (Sustainable Development).
