Kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) is one of the economically important fish species for fishermen in Denpasar, Bali. The objective of this study was to analyze the reproductive biology of kawakawa such as the gonadal maturity level (GML), gonad maturity index (GMI) and the length proportion of the mature gonads 50% (L50) and 95% (L95) of kawakawa in the Eastern Indian Ocean. Fish samples were collected from the fishermen catch landed at Kedonganan Fishing Port (PPI), Bali from May to September 2016. The total of fish samples collected were 168 individual. Each individual species was measured their fork length (FL), individual weight, gonad weight and determination of gonadal maturity level. The data obtained were analyzed to determine GML, GMI and proportions of gonads mature. The results showed that the fork length ranged from 26-55 cm with an average of 38 cm and dominated by a 28 cm. The maturity level of fish gonads was dominated by GML III (38%), followed by GML II (26%), GML I (22%) and GML IV (14%), respectively. The average gonad maturity index was 0.558 with a range of 0.009-5.075. The length of gonad matured in proportion 50% and 95% was 48.4 cm and 55.7 cm, respectively. It is suggested to regulating in fishing capture of kawakawa so that 50% of the fish caught have spawned.AbstrakTongkol komo (Euthynnus affinis) merupakan salah satu jenis ikan ekonomis penting bagi nelayan di Denpasar, Bali.

Ikan layang biru (Decapterus macarellus) merupakan salah satu jenis ikan pelagis kecil yang dominan tertangkap dan mempunyai nilai ekonomi yang tinggi, terutama untuk daerah dengan perairan yang lebih oseanik seperti di perairan Indonesia bagian timur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi parameter populasi ikan layang biru khususnya tertangkap di Laut Sulawesi. Pengambilan sampel ikan untuk diukur panjang cagak dan diamati kematangan gonad dilakukan secara acak setiap bulan. Informasi parameter populasi yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah hubungan panjang-berat, nisbah kelamin, tingkat kematangan gonad, nilai L50% dan Lm, parameter pertumbuhan serta tingkat pemanfaatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebaran ukuran panjang cagak ikan (fork length = FL) berkisar antara 10,25 - 32,25 cm, pola pertumbuhannya bersifat allometrik negatif. Nisbah kelamin ikan layang biru antara jantan : betina tidak berimbang yaitu 1 : 1,963. Ikan layang biru yang tertangkap didominasi oleh ikan dalam kondisi kematangan gonad tingkat III, artinya gonad masih dalam kondisi berkembang. Berdasarkan analisis tingkat kematangan gonad dan nilai indeks gonad dapat diketahui bahwa puncak musim pemijahan ikan terjadi pada bulan Maret. Perbandingan nilai L50% dan Lm diperoleh (L50% > Lm), artinya secara umum ikan telah mengalami matang gonad sebelum ikan tersebut ditangkap. Nilai eksplotasi lebih tinggi dari nilai eksploitasi optimal 0,5 per-tahun. Diduga puncak rekruitmen yang terjadi pada bulan Juni berasal dari musim pemijahan yang terjadi pada bulan Maret.Mackerel scad (Decapterus macarellus) is one of the dominant small pelagic fish species with high economic value, especially for areas with more oceanic waters such as eastern Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to identify the population parameters of the Mackerel scad especially those caught in the Celebes Sea. Fish samples were randomly taken to measure for length measurements and gonad maturity observation every month. Information on population parameters obtained in this study is the length-weight relationship, sex ratio, gonad maturity level, L50% and Lm values, growth parameters, and exploitation rates. The results showed that the distribution of fish length range from 10.25 - 32.25 cm of fork length, with the growth pattern was negative allometric. The sex ratio between males: females was not balanced (1: 1,963). The Mackerel scad caught was dominated by fish in the condition of level III maturity, meaning that each gonad was in a developing condition. Based on the analysis of gonad maturity and gonad index, it can be estimated that the peak of the spawning season occurs in March. A comparison of the values of L50% and Lm obtained was L50% > Lm, meaning that in general, the fish has reached gonad ripening before they were caught. The exploitation rate was higher than the optimal exploitation value of 0.5 per year. It is likely that the peak of recruitment occurred in June came from the spawning season occurred in March.
