Abstract
Lobster farming in Indonesia has seen significant growth over the past decade due to the high demand for lobsters both domestically and internationally. The potential for expanding this industry is vast, considering the rich coastal ecosystems and natural resources that support lobster cultivation. However, despite the promise of economic and ecological benefits, the development of lobster farming faces several challenges. These challenges include limitations in seed availability, environmental degradation, disease outbreaks, and inefficient farming practices. Furthermore, regulatory and policy barriers, combined with a lack of coordination among stakeholders, further hinder the progress of sustainable lobster farming. Therefore, innovations in technology, farming methods, and policy frameworks are essential to overcome these challenges and ensure the success of this industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze gaps related to constraints and innovations in lobster farming using a literature search approach with bibliometric analysis. This analysis uses reputable journals on program coordination through the VOSviewer application. A total of 992 journals were analyzed with keywords focusing on constraints, innovation of spiny lobster farming, and driving factors in the last five years. Findings based on Network Visualization in VOSViewer formed five clusters consisting of 144 items. Findings based on Overlay Visualization show that most research related to the dominant topic was conducted around 2021. Findings based on Density Visualization highlight several under-explored topics in the last five years, offering opportunities for future research. In addition to VOSViewer, LitMaps was used as an analysis tool, resulting in 10 key questions for further exploration.
