Abstract:
The scope of this study focuses a designing and improving the techniques of jigging which can be used for the aqua cultural areas. Squid Jigger is a mechanical machine used for jigging squids from the water areas where it is a lot easier than the old techniques. The idea of this project was due to the less quantity of the squids which is unprofitable to the fisherman where only small amount of squids can be jigged during a particular time and expensive to the customers. Besides, there is a lack of awareness of technology on the aqua cultural areas especially marine and this is main factors of why technology is difficult to be applied in a more needed area. Thus, this project's goals are to design a machine for a new technique in squid jigging activities. Also, to fabricate Squid Jigger that can increase the quantity of squids during particular time and freshly from the ocean. Squid Jigger aim also to carry out running test and achieve fisherman's satisfaction towards the new technology which proves that it brings more
advantages to them. The design and development of Squid Jigger is modern, adjustable and material used is hard stainless steels. This is because, the major areas of focus while designing are aesthetic, ergonomics, function and cost. Finally, through running test, Squid Jigger can be operated easily and it risen the amount of squids jigged. In the meantime, Squid Jigger will be an automatic machine after the manual techniques is accepted and success.
