Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province, has the potential for pelagic fish, especially large pelagic fish, namely tuna, skipjack and cob, which are very prospective. The majority of fishermen in Mamuju Regency use fishing rods to catch large pelagic fish. Fishing rod fishermen with a large pelagic catch target are in Mamuju Regency, Simboro District, precisely in Sumare Village but currently it is known that there has been a decrease in the number of fishing rod fishermen in Mamuju Regency since the last 5 years experiencing a decrease in production. This study aims to determine the status of small-scale capture fisheries in a sustainability perspective according to ecological, technological, social and economic dimensions for small-scale fisheries in Mamuju Regency, and recommendations for sustainable capture fisheries. The study was conducted using qualitative methods using Rapfish analysis to determine the sustainability of fishing efforts. The results showed the highest dimensions in fish resources (70.13) and fishing technology (50.06) which means quite sustainable (good) while in the social dimension (38.47) and economic dimension (28.75) in the bad category which means there needs to be special attention in handling.
Management of small pelagic fish resources is one of the efforts to prevent a decrease in the carrying capacity of small pelagic fish resources which has continued to experience a decline in production capacity in Buton Regency since the last 5 years since 2016. This study aims to analyze CPUE (Catch per Unit Effort), sustainable potential (MSY) and level of utilization and level of exploitation so that it can become information for managing the utilization of small pelagic fish resources. The research method used analysis of the level of utilization and level of effort based on statistical data on fisheries production for the 2016-2020 period. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between CPUE and fishing effort, namely a decrease in CPUE of 0.4092 tons for every increase of effort of 1 effort, optimum catch value (CMSY) of 9447.04 tons per year, and optimum effort value (EMSY) of 152 attempts per year, the utilization rate is still below CMSY with an average of 7557.64 tons and the utilization rate has exceeded EMSY with an average of 178 units per year. The average value of the utilization rate for small pelagic fish in Buton Regency is 94.56%, meaning that it has exceeded the Total Allowed Catch (TAC) but not exceeded the MSY value, while the average effort level is 116.84%. This means that fishermen's catches can still be optimized, but may not exceed MSY, which is 9447.04 tons per year. Trends in the level of utilization and effort level of small pelagic fish resources in the last five years indicate that the utilization rate of small pelagic fish resources has decreased in line with increasing levels of exploitation each year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
