Abstract

Most of the Central Tapanuli Regency area is on the coast, which is part of the Indian Ocean waters and has great potential in the fishing industry, especially marine fisheries. One of the fishing gears widely used by fishermen in Central Tapanuli is the gill net. Although the amount of marine fisheries resources in Central Tapanuli is quite abundant, the catch of gillnet fishermen often fluctuates, so fishing aids are needed to increase catches, one of the efforts made is using LACUBA. This research was conducted from February to April 2024 in Sibolga Bay, Central Tapanuli. This study used a completely randomised design (CRD), with the first 30 metres of gill net treatment with LACUBA and the remaining 30 metres without LACUBA treatment with a total net length of 60 metres. The results showed that the catch of gill nets using LACUBA influenced the catch, the total catch was 16,845 grams, without LACUBA 8,290 grams for 14 times. Gill nets with LACUBA can increase catches compared to without LACUBA, due to the addition of attractants to the net, so that fish including positive phototaxis will be caught in the net, besides that fish that are looking for prey are also caught because they want to prey on their food in the gill net area.

Abstract

The purse seine fishery in Sibolga plays a vital role in fish production but faces challenges regarding compliance with licensed fishing ground regulations. Non-compliance, driven by economic pressure and declining fish stocks, threatens resource sustainability and fishermen’s welfare. This study aimed to analyze fishermen’s perceptions and compliance levels regarding the use of licensed fishing areas and their relationship to regulatory enforcement. The research was conducted from January-March 2024 at Sibolga Archipelago Fishing Port, North Sumatra, one of the main landing bases for purse seine vessels. Data were collected from 115 respondents, consisting of vessel captains and mates, using structured questionnaires and direct interviews. Observations and secondary data from fisheries institutions supported the primary data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test to determine differences in perceptions and compliance among fishing groups categorized by vessel tonnage and fishing zones. The results showed that fishermen’s perceptions of potential fishing grounds and fish resource availability were relatively uniform across groups, indicating a shared view that fishing effort continues to expand to secure catches. In contrast, perceptions of VMS usage differed significantly, with the 30–100 GT small pelagic purse seine group acknowledging its role in detecting violations. Compliance levels also varied, with the 30–100 GT small pelagic purse seine operating in <12-mile zones showing the lowest compliance. It is concluded that stricter enforcement, effective monitoring, and targeted empowerment programs are necessary to enhance compliance and ensure sustainable fisheries management in Sibolga.
