Abstract

The wealth of fisheries resources of Merauke Regency is indeed very abundant. This is evidenced by the location of the fishing ground for fishermen who only catch from the beach, one of which is located in Payum Beach. This study aims to determine the composition of fish and shrimp catches during the wet season. Drift gillnet was used as a fishing gear during this study to collect the data. A Total of 13 species were captured, such as Mugil dussumieri and Megalops cyprinoides were the most dominant species during this period. However, based on the number, Penaeid shrimp such as Penaeus sp. and Penaeus semisulcatus are found to be very abundant during the wet season.

Abstract

The study investigated comparative and competitive food crop commodities in each district of Merauke Regency, South Papua Province, Indonesia, to support strategic agricultural development in the region. The research conducted from June to September 2024 uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Primary data comes from primary informants, such as the Head of the Food Crops, Horticulture, and Plantation Service, and secondary data from statistical reports and scientific literature. Using a Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, the study identified root crops (cassava, sweet potato, taro, and gembili) as the most dominant commodity found in almost all districts, while legumes (peanuts, mung beans, and soybeans) were concentrated in eight districts. Rice production is prominent in four districts (Kurik, Malind, Semangga, and Tanah Miring), while maize cultivation covers nine districts, including Kimaam, Okaba, Animha, and others. These findings underscore the potential for commodity-based agriculture development in Merauke Regency, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to optimize production, strengthen market access, develop farmer institutions, and improve supporting infrastructure. This research provides important insights for policymakers and stakeholders to advance the agricultural sector in the region, especially in the development of food crops.
