Before Covid-19 period, it gained the average catches of 10,7 million tons.yrs-1 (increasing 17,46% yrs-1), with production value of Rp. 159,6 billion yrs-1 (increase 23,23% yrs-1). During Covid-19, average cathes of purse seiner was 11,3 billion tons yrs-1 (decline 8,25% yrs-1) and production value of Rp. 204,3 billion yrs-1 in average (decline of 8,30% yrs-1). Purse seine fishery contribution on GRDP Manado decrease from 0,10% yrs-1 before Covid-19 (2017-2019) to - 0.42% yrs-1 during Covid-19 (2020-2012). During these two periods, (marine) fishery subsector had a LQ < 1, meant that this subsector was really not a basis of the subsector.
