Lake Kerinci is one of the lakes in Jambi Province that plays an important role as a fishery resource for the communities around the lake, particularly the villages of Tanjung Tanah and Sanggaran Agung. Fishing activities in both villages are carried out daily to meet household needs and the daily economic needs of fishermen. One of the fishing tools used in Lake Kerinci is the bagan tancap, which is a fishing tool made of bamboo sticks stuck into the bottom of the lake on a permanent basis. The fixed fishing rafts are operated every day, day and night, which affects the structure of the community in Lake Kerinci. The structure of the community is related to the composition, diversity, uniformity, and dominance of fish species in the waters. This study aims to determine the structure of the community caught by fixed nets, environmental parameters, and differences in catches between Tanjung Tanah Village and Sanggaran Agung Village. This study was conducted in Lake Kerinci, Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, from May 1 to June 4, 2025. The results obtained were H` 1.09, categorized as moderate, E 0.79, categorized as high, and E 0.40, categorized as low. It can be concluded that the community structure in Lake Kerinci is still quite stable, but sustainable management is needed to preserve the ecosystem in Lake Kerinci.
