PENGARUH WAKTU PENANGKAPAN YANG BERBEDA PADA ALAT TANGKAP JARING INSANG PERMUKAAN (Surface Gillnet) TERHADAP HASIL TANGKAPAN IKAN KUWEE (Caranx Papuaensis) DI PERAIRAN PINGGIRPAPAS KECAMATAN KALIANGET KABUPATEN SUMENEP

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Surface Gillnets are referred to as gillnets because fish caught by this gear are typically ensnared by their gills. The operation involves weights attached to the bottom of the net and floats on the top, causing the entire net to stand upright in the water to intercept schools of fish. Surface gillnets are not a new technology for fishermen; this is because the materials are easily obtainable, they are technically simple to operate, economically affordable for fishermen, and more selective in terms of the size of fish caught.

The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal time for using surface gillnets to catch Kuwee fish (Caranx papuensis) in the waters of Pinggirpapas, Kalianget District, Sumenep Regency. The research method used is the experimental method, which involves conducting experiments to observe results and determine cause-and-effect relationships. Primary data collection was carried out through experimental fishing trials targeting Kuwee fish (Caranx papuensis) during three different time periods: morning, afternoon, and evening. Each treatment was repeated nine times, with the experiment designed using a Randomized Block Design (RBD), including: Treatment A = Morning (09:00 - 11:00 WIB), Treatment B = Afternoon (13:00 - 15:00 WIB), and Treatment C = Evening (20:00 - 22:00 WIB).
