In fact, the results of a survey of several fishermen in Enggano stated that salted fish is still made using dangerous preservatives. Namely by using gasoline which of course is very dangerous to consumers’ health. The service team then intervened. The lecturers, Dr. Sipriyadi, M.Si as chairman, Dr. Elfi Yuliza, M. Si, and Julia Purnama Sari, S.T., M.Kom as members also involved MKBM students namely Redo Setiawan, S. Si, Raul Fadhilon, Muhammad Arif Alqahfi, and Mutia Raudatul Zahra.

The activity also featured food microbial expert Prof. Dr. Ir. Antonius Suwanto, M.Sc from the Bogor Agricultural Institute. It also involves stakeholders such as the Enggano sub-district head who really appreciates it.
This potential encourages fishing as a promising sector. So the majority of the population on Enggano Island is dominated by fishermen, both catch fishermen and fishery product processors. The fish catch by fishermen is very abundant, namely around 2,244.25 tons/year. The catch is sold directly and processed into various kinds of processed products.
