Perairan di sekitar Barru Sulawesi Selatan merupakan salah satu kawasan terumbu karang yang penting di Selat Makassar. Sebagian besar dari nelayannya melakukan penangkapan ikan dengan menggunakan rawai dasar dan jaring insang dasar. Analisis perikanan ikan kakap merah (Lutjanus spp.) dan kerapu (Epinephelus sp.) dilakukan pada bulan Agustus dan Oktober 2006 dengan penekanan pada deskripsi alat tangkap dan teknik penangkapannya, komposisi hasil tangkapan, dan beberapa aspek biologi ikan kakap merah dan kerapu. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara mengikuti kegiatan nelayan yang menggunakan rawai dasar dan jaring insang dasar di sekitar terumbu karang dan pencatatan data dari pendaratan ikan utama. Untuk kelengkapan data dilakukan wawancara dengan nelayan dan pedagang pengumpul setempat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan daerah penyebaran ikan kakap merah dan kerapu terdapat di perairan Barru dan Pangkajene Kepulauan. Pada perairan yang relatif dangkal (<50 m) digunakan pancing ulur dengan satu atau dua mata pancing (nomor 6 atau 7). Jaring insang dasar digunakan di luar daerah karang, satu pis (tinting) mempunyai panjang 40 m dan dalam 5 m dengan ukuran mata jaring 4 inci. Satu unit jaring terdiri atas 60 pis. Di perairan yang lebih dalam (lebih dari 50) digunakan rawai dasar yang terdiri atas 600 mata pancing (nomor 7 atau 8). Lama trip penangkapan tiga hari. Diperoleh laju pancing pada rawai dasar berkisar 6-8% dan laju tangkap jaring insang dasar berkisar antara 40-60 kg/kapal/tiga hari. Komposisi hasil tangkapan didominansi (47,2%) oleh ikan kakap merah (famili Lutjanidae) yang terdiri atas jenis Lutjanus malabaricus, Lutjanus hyselopterus, Lutjanus sebae, Lutjanus vittus, dan Pinjalo pinjalo. Ikan kerapu (famili Serranidae) terdiri atas jenis Epinephelus areolatus, Epinephelus malabaricus, Epinephelus microdon, dan Plectropomus maculatus. Kecuali itu tertangkap juga ikan lencam (famili Lethrinidae). Pengamatan biologi jenis ikan Lutjanus malabaricus dan Epinephelus malabaricus yang merupakan hasil tangkapan dominan masing-masing diperoleh nilai modus panjang cagak 48 dan 56 cm dengan modus bobot masing-masing 1,8 dan 2,15 kg. Karakteristik pertumbuhan kedua jenis tersebut adalah allometrik positif.The sea waters around Barru, South Sulawesi is one of the coral reef parts in Makassar Strait. Most of the fishermen use fishing lines, bottom long lines, and bottom gill nets in their fishing activities. Analysis of red snappers (Lutjanus spp.) and groupers (Epinephelus sp.) fisheries in this area were carried out in August and October, 2006. The emphasis is focused on the discription of fishing gear and fishing technique, catch composition, and some of biological aspect of red snappers and groupers. The research was done by following the fishing operations of bottom long line and bottom gill net conducted by fishers in the waters around coral reefs. Data were recorded in some importantant landing place at Barru, and interview of some fishermen to complete data and information needed. The result showed that the distribution of red snapper and groupers occured in the waters around Barru and Pangkajene Islands. In the shallow waters (<50 m) the fishermen use a lightly weighted hand line, with one or two relativelly small hooks (nomor 6 or 7). Bottom gill nets are frequently used in shallow back reef areas with one piece of 40 m in length, and 5 m in depth, with mesh size of 4 inches. One unit of the gear consisted of 60 piece of the nets. Meanwhile, in deeper waters (50-150 m), the number of hooks (nomor 7 or 8) in bottom long line operated 600 hooks for each unit. All fishing gears usually have three days at sea for a fishing trip. The average of catch rate (hook rate) for a trip of bottom long line was 6-8% (6 or 8 individual fish for 100 hooks). Meanwhile, the catch rate of bottom jaring insang was about 40-60 kgs/boat/3 days trip. The catches were dominated by the family Lutjanidae in which the red snappers species (reached to 47.2% at this survey period) including Lutjanus malabaricus, Lutjanus hyselopterus, Lutjanus sebae, Lutjanus vittus, and Pinjalo pinjalo. Meanwhile the groupers (family Serranidae) were dominated by species of Epinephelus areolatus, Epinephelus malabaricus, Epinephelus microdon, and Plectropomus maculatus. Other groups were emperors (Lethrinidae) and Gymnocranius. The biological measured for Lutjanus malabaricus and Epinephelus malabaricus as a dominant landed showed the modus of length were 48 and 58 cmFL, respectivelly. Meanwhile the modus of weight were 1.8 and 2.35 kg. The growth characteristic of both species were positive allometric. It means that increasing the weight was faster than their length.

The bottom gill nets are the most common fishing gear in coastal areas, with different mesh sizes.The catch of bottom gill nets is generally dameral fish with different sizes and species. Scientific information about the difference of catch composition in the 3-inch and 4-inch mesh size of bottom gill nets is still poorly available. It is therefore necessary to study a composition of the catch on two bottom gill net mesh sizes of 3 inches and 4 inches, comparing the composition of the quantity and weight of the catch and identify the species of fish caught.  This research was done in coastal waters of Talise Tambun village, Likupang Barat District of Minahasa Utara Regency for two weeks October 2017; following a descriptive method based on case studies. Two unit bottom gill nets were operated seven trips to data colected; and the data were analyzed by composition species analysis and weight composition.The results showed that the composition of the catch quantity of bottom gill net 3-inch 64 fish and 48 species dominated by Rengginan fish 21.88%, while the catching composition of 4-inch mesh size amounted to 91 fishes and 63 species dominated by Swangi as 14.29% .  The weight catch composition of the 3-inch bottom gill net was dominated by sharks of 25.16% with a weight of 33.386 kg, while the 4-inch bottom gill net catch weights were dominated by snapper as 35.71% with a weight of 101,502 kg.The results of the analysis showed that the 3-inch mesh size of bottom gill net catch composition of both the quantity, the species and the catch weight was better than the 4-inch capture composition.Keywords: Bottom gillnet, weight, composition ABSTRAKJaring insang dasar adalah alat tangkap yang banyak ditemukan diwilayah pesisir, dengan ukuran mata jaring yang berbeda-beda.Hasil tangkapan jaring insang dasar umumnya ikan damersal dengan ukuran dan jenis yang berbeda.Informasi Ilmiahtentang perbedaan komposisi hasil tangkapan pada jaring insang dasar mata 3 inci dan 4 inci masih kurang tersedia.Untuk itu perlu suatu penelitian yang bertujuan mengetahui komposisi hasil tangkapan pada dua ukuran mata jaring insang dasar 3 inci dan 4 inci, membandingkan komposisi jumlah dan bobot hasil tangkapan dan mengidentifikasi jenis ikan yang tertangkap.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di perairanDesa Talise Tambun Kecamatan Likupang Barat Kabupaten Minahasa Utara;  selama 2 minggu, pada bulan Oktober 2017;  dikerjakan dengan mengikuti metode deskriptif yang didasarkan pada studi kasus.Dua unit jaring insang dasar PA Multifilament dengan besar mata masing-masing 3 dan 4 inci dioperasikan selama 7 trip untuk mengumpulkan data; dan data dianalisis dengan analisis komposisi jenis dan komposisi bobot.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komposisi jumlah tangkapan  jaring insang dasar mata 3 inci sebanyak  64 ekor dan 48 jenis yang didominasi oleh ikan Rengginan sebesar 21.88%, sedangkan komposisi tangkapan jaring insang dasar 4 inci berjumlah 91 ekor dan 63 jenis yang didominasi oleh  ikan Swangi sebanyak 14.29 %.  Selanjutnya komposisi bobot tangkapan jaring insang dasar mata 3 inci didominasi oleh ikan Hiu sebesar 25.16 % dengan  bobot 33,386 kg, sedangkan komposisi bobot tangkapan jaring insang dasar mata 4 inci didominasi oleh ikan kakap sebanyak 35.71% dengan bobot 101,502 kg.

Manado Bay waters have long been known as a center of artisanal fisheries activities because of the availability of abundant fisheries resources. However,  continuous increase in technoligcal  development and fish resources demand make natural resources exploitation tend to destruct the  aquatic habitat and fish resources itself. Therefore, this study was aimed to inventory the types of fishing gears operated in Manado Bay; evaluate the possible impact on fish resources and environment; and analyze the status of fishing fisheries sustainability. This study was based on survey methods, through direct observation of fishing process and observations on the catch composition. Fisheries sustainability status was analyzed using Rapfish program. Common fishing gears used by fishermen in Manado Bay were multi hooks vertical hand line (noru), bottom hand line, trolling line, bottom long line, surface gill net, bottom gill net and traps. Fishing gears that do not have an impact on fish resources and environment is noru fishing, trolling and surface gill net, while bottom long line, bottom gill net and trap could potentially have negative impact on fish resources and physical seabed habitat. ordination sustainability status analysis of fishing fisheries in Manado Bay for each dimension is still considered as sustainable enough. Perairan Teluk Manado telah lama dikenal sebagai pusat aktivitas perikanan rakyat karena ketersediaan sumber daya ikan masih melimpah. Tetapi perkembangan teknologi dan permintaan sumber daya ikan yang terus meningkat menyebabkan pengeksploitasian sumber daya alam cenderung merusak habitat perairan dan sumber daya ikan itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisir jenis-jenis alat tangkap yang dioperasikan di perairan Teluk Manado, mengevaluasi kemungkinan dampak alat tangkap terhadap sumber daya ikan dan lingkungan, dan menganalisis status keberlanjutan perikanan tangkap. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada metode survei, melalui pengamatan langsung terhadap proses penangkapan ikan dan mengamati keragaman komposisi hasil tangkapan. Status keberlanjutan perikanan dianalisis dengan program Rapfish. Alat tangkap yang umum digunakan oleh nelayan di perairan Teluk Manado terdiri dari yaitu pancing noru, pancing dasar, pancing tonda,  rawai dasar,  soma landra pajeko, soma landra rakit,  jaring insang dasar dan bubu. Alat tangkap yang tidak memberikan dampak terhadap sumber daya ikan dan lingkungan adalah pancing noru, pancing tonda, soma landra pajeko dan soma landra rakit. Sedangkan alat tangkap yang berpotensi memberikan dampak pada sumber daya ikan dan kerusakan fisik habitat dasar perairan adalah pancing dasar, rawai dasar, jaring insang dasar dan bubu. Hasil ordinasi status keberlanjutan perikanan tangkap di Teluk Manado yang dianalisis pada masing-masing dimensi masih tergolong cukup berkelanjutan.

This study was carried out in Oguta Lake, Imo State, Nigeria, from January, 2012 to December, 2013 at five stations (Onu Utu, Okposha, Ogbe Hausa, Osemotor and Ede Ngwugwu) to ascertain the percentage abundance and catch rate of gear and craft. The average weight of fish caught per canoe per day ranged between 3.2 kg for Basket and Drum traps to 47.1 kg for boat seine net. The gill nets ranged between 6.0 to 13.0kg per canoe per day with mean weight of 8.60±2.91kg, the cast net had values ranging from 1.0 to 7.0 kg with a mean weight of 4.3±2.49 kg. Lift net yielded an average of 3.4 kg per canoe per day. Gill nets were the main gear used by fishers, followed by long lines and cast nets at the lake. It is important to locate all the fishers operating in the lake and daily record of catches be collected for a more accurate picture of the total catch and fish species. Mesh size regulation prevent over exploitation of young fish, before they attain sexual maturity. It is recommended that the cost of procuring fishing inputs such as fishing gear and crafts and safety kits should be monitored by government and be subsidized for the fishers.Key words: drum trap, crafts, catch, exploitation, Oguta, mesh size, trap

Fish catch composition of some selected small scale fishing gears (gill net, cast net, beach seine and long line) were investigated in Bonny River, Rivers State, Nigeria from August 2014 to January 2015. A total number of 25 fish species from 18 families were recorded during the study. The Mugilidae with only one species constituted the dominant family while Cichlidae, Lutjanidae, Clupeidae, had three species and Scianidae had two species of fish caught and the remaining families had one species each. Mugil cephalus constituted 28.48% of the total catches followed by C. nigrodigitatus (22.48%). In the dry season M. cephalus forms the major component landings (32.65%), followed by C. nigrodigitatus (26.53%) and S. galilaeus (12.24%) while in the wet season M. cephalus (31.06%), C. nigrodigitatus (18.63%) and T. zillii (11.80%) were the dominant fish species. Cast net was the most efficient fishing gear while gill net was the least efficient. The comparison analysis between the wet and dry seasons using t-test showed no significant difference between dry and wet seasons (t = 0.092, P > 0.05).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the species composition and size selectivity of gillnets commonly used by the artisanal fishers in the New Calabar River, Rivers State, Nigeria. The data was collected during February-July 2018 from 3 sampling stations: SI Choba, S2 Ogbogoro, and S3 Iwofe all along the stretch of the river. Twenty-eight fish species were found belonging to 15 families. The prevalent families were Cichlidae, Mugilidae and Clupeidae representing 32.22%, 30.36% and 10.23% of the total catch, respectively. The most dominant species in terms of number were Liza falcipinnis (12.58%) and Mugil cephalous (12.26%) while in terms of biomass, the most abundance species were Xenomystus nigri (24.12%) and Lutjanus agennes (12.50 %). The girth and total lengths of the fishes ranged from 5.20±0.20 to 21.00±0.00 cm and 8.85±0.15 to 28.19±1.13 cm respectively. The length at first capture (L50%) for the most abundant species (Liza falcipinnis) was calculated to be 14.13 cm while that of L25% and L75% were 12.70cm and 15.25cm respectively. It was concluded that the gill nets used in the New Calabar River exploit fish species of small sizes and few medium sized specimens relative to species potential maximum size. It is therefore recommended that for an improved and sustainable exploitation fish stock of the New Calabar River, the use of gillnets of less than 25 mm-mesh sizes and “other gears” should be prohibited.Keywords: gill nets; species composition; mesh size; selectivity; New Calabar River

Catching flying fish in Sendana Majene Subdistrict is carried out continuously with gill nets 1-1.5 inches. The catch of flying fish is mostly still young fish (not yet worth catching). The demand for flying fish is quite high due to the existence of special stalls of smoke fly fish around fishing settlements. Apart from smoke flying fish, dried flying fish are also sold as souvenirs. Therefore, fishermen will continue to increase production. Various results of research and field observations show that gill net is able to catch flying fish well but the size of fish caught is dominated by young fish. The effort to increase the net mesh size to 1.5 inches resulted in the diminishing number of young flying fish. Catching flying fish in Majene waters is generally carried out with drifting gill nets with mesh sizes of 1 and 1.25 inches which are very intensive every fishing season while L50 (11.92 cm) and Lm (13.59 cm) for 1 inch more net mesh size were smaller compared to the length of the first gonad maturity, in this case most of the catch is still classified as young fish (Palo, 2009). Partners are a group of flying fish fishermen. Partner problems, flying fish production is getting smaller, group capacity is not strong and group management is still weak. Partners have not been able to obtain assistance facilities from various community empowerment programs carried out by the government. The approach to be used in this service includes: identification, observation, counseling, demonstration, construction, application, assistance, field observation and evaluation monitoring. Indicators of the success of activities are measured based on the results of the application of technology compared to the results of fishing gear commonly used by fishermen. Implementation of service includes counseling, construction of fishing gear, fishing operations and assistance has been going well. The size of 1.5-inch mesh is only able to catch flying fish in a limited amount, while the size of the 1.25-inch mesh can catch flying fish in relatively large numbers. Flying fish caught with 1.25-inch mesh size has passed the size of the first gonad mature so that it supports sustainable fisheries.

Catch rate, CPUE, biomass ratios and size selectivity from traditional longline and trammel nets of Turkish coastal small-scale fisheries were investigated in order to describe the Smooth-hound shark (Mustelus mustelus) fishery. The SELECT method was used to estimate the selectivity parameters of a variety of models for the trammel nets inner panel of 150 and 170 mm mesh sizes. Catch composition and proportion of the species were significantly different in longline and trammel nets. While mean CPUE of longline was 119.2±14.3 kg/1000 hooks, these values for 150 and 170 mm trammel nets were 5.3±1.2 kg/1000 m of net and 12.7±3.9 kg/1000 m of net, respectively. Biomass ratios of the by catch to Smooth-hound catch were found to be 1:0.32 for 150 mm trammel net, 1:0.65 for longline and 1:0.73 for 170 mm trammel net. The estimated modal lengths and spreads were found to be 91.1 and 16.2 cm for 150 mm and 103.2 and 18.4 cm for 170 mm, respectively. The modal lengths of the species as well as the spread values increased with mesh size.
