The issue of sustainable aquaculture is increasingly being discussed around the world in line with the development and efforts to achieve 17 goals from the Sustainable Development Goals, especially the 14th goal, Life Below Water. Diponegoro University (Undip) as a research university with The Basic Scientific Pattern of Coastal Region Eco-development was also moved to conduct research on the topic. Over the past few years, research on sustainable aquaculture has been conducted by Nuning Vita Hidayati (NVH) a student of the Doctoral Program of Aquatic Resources Management, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP supported by the Government of Indonesia through LPDP scholarship scheme Excellent Lecturers Indonesia - Overseas (BUDI-LN) and cooperation program Undip-AMU. This research was conducted on the north coast of Central Java and on Undip cooperation with General Soedirman University, Raja Ali Haji Maritime University, and Aix-Marseille Université (AMU) from France.
This research raised the topic of emerging contaminants (emerging contaminants) in relation to sustainable aquaculture. The concept of sustainable aquaculture itself refers to the principle of sustainable development as adopted in various sectors both natural resources and industry (manufacturing). In the perspective of aquaculture, the principle of sustainability is interpreted as an effort to manage aquaculture resources in a responsible way while ensuring environmental quality and conservation efforts of natural resources. In this context, pollutants become one of the key indicators.
This research thoroughly examines various types of emerging contaminants that are the focus of attention in cultivation activities, namely; Heavy metals, Persistent Organic Pollutants (Organochlorine Pesticides, OCPs and Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCBs), as well as medicinal compounds (antibiotics). This topic was raised as a form of UNDIP's concern in supporting efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).,
