Based on information from fishermen and fish entrepreneurs, about 95.5% of the catch landed in the Bacan fishing port is stored in the air blast freezer (ABF) which is targeted for regional and exportsmarkets, while the remaining 4.5% is sold locally. The actual condition shows that the ABF has limited capacity. Furthermore, the need for ice blocks and diesel fuel (BBM) cannot be full filed as the ice factory and fuel station (SPDN) inside the port was not able to meet the current demand. As a result, fishermen have to buy from outside fishing port .In order to improve the port service, development program supported by scientific investigation on existing port performance is required. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of utilization and satisfaction of users of cold chain facilities and SPDN in PPP Bacan. The research was conducted at PPP Bacan, South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province, from August to September. Data were collected within 2 weeks, from 5 to 19 September 2020. The results showed that the utilization rate of ice factory facilities, ABF, and SPDN had exceeded the optimal limit, while the cold stroge was not optimal. All stakeholders (skippers, fishermen, and fish buyers) expressed their dissatisfaction with the service of the ice factory facilities, ABF, and SPDN, while the cold storage facilities were very satisfied.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan komoditas perikanan tangkap unggulan dan menyusun kebijakan produksi perikanan tangkap berbasis komoditas unggulan.Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode survey dan observasi.Analisis data menggunakan Analisis Location Quotient (LQ), Analisis Shift Share (ASS) dan analisis SWOT.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 9 komoditas unggulan perikanan tangkap di Kabupaten Kepulauan Sulayaitu:julung-julung, tembang, cumu-cumi, kwee, terbang, tuna, layaran, baronang, cendro. Komoditas  unggulan perikanan tangkap yang memberikan kontribusi terhadap pendapatan daerah tertinggi secara berurutan ditempati oleh julung-julung, tuna, cumu-cumi, tembang, cendro, terbang, kwee, layaran dan  baronang. Strategi kebijakan untuk meningkatkan produksi perikanan tangkap di Kabuapten Kepulauan Sula yaitu diarahkan pada peningkatan produksi jenis komoditi unggulan dengan cara melakukan penambahan jumlah dan kapasitas armada penangkapan, peningkatan investasi usaha perikanan skala kecil, pengembangan sarana prasarana dan peningkatan SDM di bidang pengolahan ikan, serta melibatkan  lembaga usaha di bidang industri perikanan. Kata kunci: pengembangan perikanan tangkap, komoditas unggulan

Ternate Island lies in a strategic location as it is situated in the middle of  the main fishing ground for skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) fishing using pole and line (huhate) and fish aggregating devices (FADs). As typical pelagic fish, skipjack that is gathered near the water surface is the younger fish, likewise the ones which are caught around FADs. Therefore, this fishing method has caused serious problem due to the domination of young fish and increasing bycatch and discard. The objective of this research is to analyze the size structure of the fork length, appropriate size for catching, catch composition, bycatch and discard level. Pole and line catch samples were collected in 3 months fromMay to July 2018. The results show that in average, skipjack tuna caught in the study location was undersize. The total catch is predominantly targeted fish which has a higher economic value compared to bycatch and discarded fish. Even though bycatch in the pole and line fisheries are low, reduction efforts are still required. which can be done by sorting bycatch and unwanted fish then discard it into the sea when the fish is still alive.Keywords: biology, pole and line, sustainability status, Ternate City ABSTRAKPosisi Pulau Ternate sangat strategis karena berada di tengah perairan yang menjadi daerah operasi penangkapan cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) dengan alat tangkap huhate (pole and line) yang dibantu dengan penggunaan rumpon. Sebagaimana ikan pelagis lainnya,  ikan-ikan cakalang yang berkumpul di lapisan permukaan air cenderung tergolong ikan-ikan muda. Oleh karena itu, cakalang yang tertangkap di sekitar rumpon juga cenderung ikan-ikan yang masih muda. Fenomena ini menyebabkan munculnya sebuah masalah besar, yaitu dominasi ikan-ikan muda, selain itu juga sering tertangkap ikan yang bukan target tangkap yang terdiri dari bycatch dan discards. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis struktur ukuran panjang cagak dan ukuran cakalang layak tangkap, komposisi hasil tangkapan, persentase bycatch dan discards. Sampel hasil tangkapan huhate dikumpulkan selama 3 bulan (Mei sampai Juli 2018). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rataan cakalang di lokasi penelitian didominasi ukuran belum layak tangkap. Total hasil tangkapan didominasi ikan target, sementara itu bycatch yang tertangkap memiliki nilai ekonomis yang baik dan tidak ditemukan discards. Walaupun bycatch pada perikanan huhate rendah namun usaha-usaha untuk meminimumkan tetap perlu dilakukan. Salah satu usaha yang bisa dilakukan adalah menyortir hasil tangkapan, ada apabila ada ikan yang akan dibuang ke laut, dilakukan dalam keadaan masih hidup.Kata Kunci: Biologi, huhate (pole and line), status keberlanjutan, Kota Ternate

Heavy metals have a relationship with fish organs. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of heavy metals in various organs of Gerres abbreviatus and Parastromateus niger. The research was conducted in Kao Bay waters from April to September 2019. Samples obtained were prepared at the aquatic science laboratory of Khairun University and were analyzed at the Environmental Productivity Laboratory of IPB University Bogor using the AAS instrument to determine heavy metals concentrations. The result of the heavy metals accumulation in Gerres abbreviatus meat was Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Hg > Mn > Cd. Meanwhile, the heavy metals accumulation in Roi fish (Parastromateus niger) meat was Zn > Mn > Ni > Hg > Pb > Cd > Cu.
