“…Traditionally, the seeds of the fish poison tree are grated and mixed with coconut cream to relieve burns and remedy ringworm (WHO, 1998). According to Ravikumar et al (2015), throughout the Pacific, the seeds of this tree are also used traditionally to stun or kill fish due to its ichthyotoxic properties. Marston and Hostettmann (1991) explained that the toxin in the seeds can hemolyze red blood cells of coldblooded animals, hence killing fish.…”

“…The seeds, on the other hand, which often emerge in fruit, can easily grow ashore when soaked in rainwater (Prance, 2012). Generally, all the parts of the fish poison tree contain many natural phytochemicals possessing a wide range of biological effects including antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, anti-viral, and anti-inflamatory (Omolso, 2002;Burton et al, 2003;Kumar et al, 2007;Brunet et al, 2009;Ravikumar et al, 2015).…”

The leaves are locally used as vegetable food, herb, spice, and medication for backaches, sore joints, rheumatism, hernia, and diarrhea (Barwick, 2004). According to Stuart (2018), in the Philippines, leaves are heated and applied as topical remedy for stomachache. Similarly, Ravikumar et al. (2015) reported that the Nicobari tribe of India utilized leaves for the treatment of fractures, wounds, de-worming, and pain relief. The flowers are large pinkish-white, which give off a sickly-sweet smell to attract bats and moths, which pollinate them in return.

“…Secara umum, motif tindakan sosial pemanfaatan sumber daya perikanan di perairan Sabang (Wilayah Pengelolaan Perikanan Republik Indonesia (WPP-NRI 571 dan WPP-NRI 572) adalah mulai dari harus ikut aturan adat setempat sampai pada motif ekonomi, agar ikan mudah didapat untuk memenuhi permintaan pasar. Besarnya motif tersebut, didorong oleh ketersediaan ikan pelagis besar, ikan pelagis kecil, ikan karang dan ikan demersal yang dapat dieksploitasi pada perairan Sabang (Kepmen KP (Anonim, 1992 (Ravikumar et al, 2015;Ravikumar et al, 2016).

Tindakan sosial adalah perilaku pelaku usaha perikanan terhadap pelaku lain dengan tujuan dan motivasi tertentu. Permasalahannya, tindakan sosial pelaku usaha pada kawasan Sentra Kelautan dan Perikanan Terpadu (SKPT) Sabang tidak responsif mendukung beroperasinya SKPT Sabang. Tujuan tulisan ini mempelajari karakteristik aspek sosial budaya masyarakat perikanan Sabang serta tindakan sosial yang terkait dengan hal itu agar SKPT Sabang dapat berfungsi. Data dan informasi diperoleh dari Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Observasi langsung (aktuelles verstehen), dan pemahaman motif tindakan (eklarendes verstehen) digunakan sebagai teknik untuk mendalami infomasi hasil FGD tersebut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Oktober 2018. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan: tindakan sosial tradisional mendominasi keputusan pelaku usaha dalam penangkapan ikan. Pelaku usaha perikanan tersebut harus taat hukum adat laot yang dipantau Panglima Laot; tindakan sosial rasional instrumental mendominasi tindakan pelaku usaha pada kegiatan penanganan hasil tangkapan serta distribusi dan pemasaran ikan. Motif tindakan sosial yang terakhir ini mempengaruhi pelaku usaha lain, agar pasokan ikan dapat diperoleh atau mengoptimalkan manfaat karena tindakan pelaku usaha lain. Tulisan ini merekomendasikan agar di SKPT Sabang dilakukan perubahan sosial melalui transformasi 30% - 40% dari 684 unit armada perikanan <3 GT menjadi armada >10 GT. Transformasi ini akan mendorong tindakan sosial pada trip penangkapan ikan, peningkatan permintaan tenaga kerja trampil (pawang) dan penggunaan teknologi dalam penanganan serta pemasaran/distribusi ikan.Social action is defined as the action among business actors for specific purposes or motives. The problem of social action in the SKPT (integrated marine and fisheries center) Sabang is that the business actors in fisheries are not responsive to support the operationalization of SKPT Sabang. The purpose of this paper is to learn the characteristics of business actors on socio-cultural aspects and social action to support the daily operation of SKPT Sabang. Data and information were collected from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Direct observation (aktuelles verstehen) and Empathetic Understanding (eklarendes verstehen) were used as techniques to collect advanced information. Data were collected in October 2018. The research findings are: traditional social actions dominate fishing actors’ activities. The business actors remain to obey on the local traditional rule (adat laot rule) observed by Panglima Laot; instrumental rational social actions are always carried out by business actors on the post-harvest fishing activities as well as distribution and fish marketing. The last social action motives are to influence others to provide fish and to reach optimal benefit due to other business actor action. This paper recommends preparing the social change through transformation 30% - 40% of < 3 GT fishing vessel to > 10 GT in Sabang. It will then change the duration of fishing activity, increase demand for skilled labor (pawang), and the application of technology in post-harvest as well as marketing/fish distribution.

Eradication of predatory and weed fishes is one of the most important steps in pre-stocking management of pond based aquaculture. The chemical piscicides are mostly pesticides of diverse nature, designed for land based agricultural practices. In the aquatic environment in fish culture ponds, besides acting as piscicides, they are bound to impact the environment negatively because of their long persistency and non-target oriented in action. Consequent to this, a number of plants derived, low cost and locally available materials became popular as piscicides particularly in the moderately intensive inland aquaculture all over the globe. The present paper reviewed a brief account of the herbal piscicides with particular reference to Indian aquaculture.
