The effectiveness of handline is determined by its design and construction, operation does not require large capital, handline fishing also uses aids such as bait and FADs. The use of light in handline fishing gear to attract phototactic fish. The research objectives were to determine the type and weight of fish caught on handline fishing gear using two different types of lights and to determine the effect of regular light and petromax on fish caught using handline fishing gear in Simeulue Waters. The research was carried out in October 2022, in Simeulue Waters, Simeulue Regency, East Simeulue District, Sinabang City.

The weight of fish caught using ordinary lamps is at least 1840 grams and the maximum weight is 9460 grams, while using petromax lamps the fish weighs at least 1330 kg and the largest catch is 9490 kg. The research results showed that there were no differences that had a significant effect on hand line catches, so do a statistical analysis using the t test with the result -.161.Keywords: catch, hand line, light, Simeulue]]>
