Cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) is one of the leading export commodities landed at the Prigi Fishing Port (PPN Prigi). Skipjack tuna fisheries management conducted the conventional single-species Schaefer model which is often applied although it is not technically suitable for multispecies fishery. The application of feedback harvest control rule (HCR) is an alternative harvest strategy that has been successfully implemented and validated for multispecies fishery. This study estimated allowable biological catch by applying two harvest strategies, HCR feedback and Schaefer surplus production model using catch-effort data of skipjack tuna landed at PPN Prigi in the period 2010 - 2019. Model Schaefer pointed out that catches have exceeded the maximum sustainable yield () even employed low the fishing effort which was under the fishing mortality consistent with achieving MSY (). The application of feedback HCR that has been previously validated can be an alternative of harvest strategy for use in fisheries where only mixed species data is available.
Key words: multispecies fishery, harvest strategy, Schaefer model, maximum sustainable yield, single-species approach
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.
