THE EFFECT OF ATTRACTOR MATERIAL ON PELAGIC FISH CAPTURED USING PAYANG BUGIS IN PASAURAN WATERS, PROVINCE OF BANTEN
Abstract: Rumpon (fish
aggregating device) as an auxiliary gear operated in Pasauran waters, Sunda
Strait was longer and more widely used in Indonesia to catch pelagic fish. The
characteristic species composition, size, and gonado somato index (GSI) pelagic
fish around 3 kinds of rumpon attractor materials, i.e. Cocos nucifera, Nypa
fructican, and Areca catechu leaves will determine the effects of attractor
materials will affect the sustainability of pelagic fish associated.
Identification and composition length, weight and gonado somato index pelagic
fish were identified in this research with different attractor material in all
seasons. Experimental fishing carried out by using payang Bugis. The result
show that the Cocos nucifera leaves are the best attractor material based on
the number of fish species and durability in all seasons. Further, the gonado
somato index of small pelagic fish were caught around rumpon are gonado somato
index I 4%, gonado somato index II 33%, gonado somato index III 35%, gonado
somato index IV 25%, and gonado somato index V 3%. Pelagic fish around
attractor materials have gonado somato index I-III 72%. This result indicated
that the small pelagic fish caught around rumpon are immature fish.
