Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the environmental friendliness level of boar bagan towards the amount of fish caught by the fishermen in Belitung Regency Waters and determined fish composition based on the type and the length of fish. The research was conducted in August 2019. The primary data collection technique used was purposive sampling technique while the secondary data was obtained from Tanjungpandan Archipelago Fisheries Port (Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Tanjungpandan/PPN). The research analyzed types of fish composition, proportion of main and bycatches, proportion of biologically worth caught fish, proportion of utilized catches, and eco-friendly analysis. Based on the results of research on the environmental friendliness level of boat bagan fishing gear in Belitung Regency Waters, it can be concluded that the boat bagan catch during the study obtained 10 species including fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata), spotted sardinella (Sardinella sirm), devis’ anchovy (Stoleporus devisi), squid (Loligo sp), short mackerel (Rastrelliger brachysoma), common ponyfish (Leiognathus equulus), largehead hairtail (Trichiurus sp), and yellowstrip scad (Selaroides leptolesis), large pelagic fish such as barracuda (Sphyraena sp), and demersal fish was also caught such as pufferfish (Tetraodo sp). Boat bagan fishing gear is classified as less environmentally friendly because 48% of fish caught was not mature, fish that are not the main target fish (bycatch) was 41%, and it catches more than 3 target fish species. However, the utilization of catch is quite good at 99,12%.
