Abstract

fisheries are the mainstay of the coastal community's economy, and Sondong fishing gear is still commonly used. Although Sondong is considered effective, it raises ecological concerns because it risks damaging the seabed habitat and produces high bycatch. This study aims to describe fishing communities' perceptions of Sondong fishing gear regarding its effectiveness and impact on fish resources and the environment. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling of active fishermen in Sungsang, conducted in November 2024. The results show that fishermen have a strong understanding of Sondong because it has been widely used and passed down informally. They perceive Sondong as an effective and profitable tool, though this perception is changing as catches decline. The ecological impact has not been widely recognized, and regulations tend to be rejected due to economic dependence. As fishermen's perceptions are more oriented toward the economy than ecology, an educational approach is needed to encourage the transition to more sustainable fishing gear.

Abstract

Rivers are vital freshwater ecosystems that play an essential role in maintaining environmental balance and supporting aquatic life. The benthic and planktonic communities serve as bioindicators of water quality and form integral components of the aquatic food web. This study aims to analyze the structure of benthos and plankton communities in the Jemile River, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra, and to evaluate their relationship with water quality parameters. The findings revealed the presence of Baetidae larvae, indicating clean and well-oxygenated waters, alongside Chironomidae, which tolerate organically enriched substrates. Among plankton, Brachionus was found as an indicator of eutrophic conditions, and Gyrosigma served as a primary producer. The diversity of organisms observed suggests habitat quality variations influenced by domestic, agricultural, and mining activities around the river. This study highlights the complex ecological dynamics of the Jemile River and underscores the need for continuous monitoring to support sustainable water resource management.
