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 Kutaraja Ocean Fishing Port (PPS Kutaraja) is one of the largest fish landing sites in Banda Aceh, playing a significant role in shark fisheries, particularly for thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus). This study aims to describe the thresher shark fishery at PPS Kutaraja, assess the status of its utilization, and provide recommendations for sustainable management. The research was conducted through direct observations, interviews with fishermen and fishery business operators, and secondary data analysis. The results indicate that thresher sharks are primarily caught as bycatch using purse seines and longlines. The shark trade at PPS Kutaraja involves multiple stakeholders, from fishermen and intermediaries (toke bangku) to domestic and international markets. Habitat and ecosystem assessments reveal that seagrass and coral reef ecosystems along the Aceh coast are in moderate condition, while mangrove ecosystems remain relatively well-preserved. The composite evaluation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) for habitat and ecosystem aspects scored 66.67, categorized as "good." However, the lack of data on key shark habitats, such as spawning, nursery, and feeding grounds, highlights the need for further research. To ensure sustainability, ecosystem-based management strategies, including establishing conservation areas and stricter monitoring of shark fishing practices, are recommended. Implementing effective policies will support the long-term sustainability of thresher shark fisheries at PPS Kutaraja.

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.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as a maritime country with a sea area of 3.25 million km², accounting for about 63% of its total territory. The sustainable potential of Indonesia’s marine fish production is estimated at 6.51 million tons per year, or around 8.2% of the world’s total potential. Banda Aceh is one of the coastal cities with enormous fisheries potential. Its waters are rich in fish resources, offering significant opportunities for the development of the fisheries industry. However, this potential has not been fully optimized. One major problem faced by the fisheries industry in Banda Aceh is the lack of effective marketing strategies, particularly in the frozen fish industry. CV. Novira Abadi, as one of the companies operating in this sector, often experiences unstable sales, resulting in uncontrolled stock accumulation. This condition is aggravated by the absence of an integrated marketing approach. This research aims to analyze the development strategy to improve frozen fish sales at CV. Novira Abadi through a SWOT analysis. A qualitative method was applied using observation and interviews. The SWOT analysis results show that opportunities scored the highest (1.92), followed by strengths (1.87), weaknesses (0.99), and threats (0.83). The company’s position in the SWOT matrix falls into quadrant I, indicating a favorable condition for implementing an aggressive growth strategy. The recommended strategies include developing new products, expanding distribution channels, and leveraging social media for promotion. Additionally, continuous market research and competitor analysis are necessary to strengthen competitiveness and ensure business sustainability for CV. Novira Abadi industry.
