The 2 nd International Conference on Fisheries and Marine (ICFM) was organized by Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science and carried out on July 15, 2021 in the format of virtual conference (online platform, Zoom) due to the situation of Covid-19 and the implementation of worldwide travel restriction. This conference brings together about 150 presenters and 255 general participants consist of researchers, scientist, government’s official, professional from private sectors and NGO’s. They were come from Japan, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Australia, and Indonesia. The conference model was divided into two sessions, including keynote speeches and plenary session (oral presentations). In the first session, we invited six experts to deliver their keynote speeches. Each expert was allocated about thirty minutes to perform their talks through Zoom and after all keynote speech perform followed by discussion about sixty minutes. The keynote speakers were Prof. Dr. Soottawat Benjakul from Thailand, Dr. Hirose Kazuyo from Japan, Prof. Dr. Takaomi Arai from University of Brunei Darussalam, Prof. Dr. Agung Damar Syakti from Indonesia, Dr. Luky Adrianto from Indonesia, and Dr. M. Djanib Achmad from Indonesia. In the second session, the presenters, who performed in oral presentations were given 10 minutes each to briefly present their recent research and 5 minutes discussion via online collaboration tool, Zoom. This session was divided into the five class of meeting rooms based on the field area of their subjects and it was carried out by parallel system. The Proceedings of ICFM 2021 contains 73 papers which were compiled from the excellent papers submitted and presented in the plenary session of the conference. The papers discuss a broad area in fisheries and marine science covering oceanography, marine and fisheries biotechnology, aquaculture, capture fisheries and processing technology, marine and fisheries resources management. We do hope that this proceeding could share bright ideas and give noteworthy contribution in the field of fisheries and marine science for sustainable development. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved, especially to all authors for their contribution in preparing the papers. A great appreciation is given to the reviewers for their assistance in reviewing the manuscripts. Special thank also goes to all members of the scientific committee and their supporting staffs for their efforts in completing the proceeding. Without this dedicated cooperation, it would be impossible to hold the conference at such a high level and prepare the ICFM 2021 proceedings. Dr. Najamuddin Scientific Committee of ICFM 2021
