Study of Types and Production of Trap Net Fishery Fish based on Moon Phase in the Waters of Segeri District, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesian

Abstract

The research was carried out in October-November 2020 in the waters of the Pangkep Regency. The data collected consisted of primary and secondary data, using direct observation in the field. Tidal observations were carried out in every moon phase for 2 x 24 hours. I collected data on the type and number of catches in each month’s phase. Tidal analysis using the criminal method and descriptive analysis of the types and quantities of trap net fish production (kg) and (Rp). The full moon phase is the highest tide at 185 cm and the lowest at 42 cm. The average sea level (mean sea level) is 113.5 cm. Types of trap net catch based on the moon phase in the waters of Sergei District, Pangkep Regency, identified 13 types of catches. The highest amount of fish production was obtained by the full moon phase of 100 kg, followed by the 80 kg dead moon phase, 95 kg early quarter moon, and 65 kg final quarter moon phase.

Studying the Composition of Types and Productivity of Trap Net Fishing Equipment in the Coastal Waters of Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesian

“…The productivity of the catch in this study is calculated every time from departure to the fishing area until returning to the fishing base, but in carrying out operations it has a different time. Ihsan et al (2022) recorded that fishing productivity is strongly influenced by the number of fishing trips each month for a year. The number of trip trap nets every month for a year is different; this is because the operation of the trap net fishing gear is very dependent on the low tide of the sea.…”
