| Abstract | ||
| Catch productivity is the ability of fishing gear to get a number of catches in each unit of fishing effort. This study aimed to determine the productivity of trap net fishing gear for fish migration to coastal waters. The research was conducted in October-November 2020 along the coastal area, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. For data collection, a survey method was used by following fishing operations carried out with the data collected covering the production of fish each trip during the study. The composition of the obtained catch recorded 13 species of fish including white snapper (Lates calcarifer), milkfish (Chanos chanos), goalkeeper fish (Scatophagus argus), gulamah fish (Johnius trachycephalus) and cotton fish (Gerres punctatus). The productivity of trap net catches is more effective in September during which the catch increases, and the longer the duration of each trip, the less productive this tool becomes in terms of time use. Although the economic value of the trap net fishing business provides a better economic contribution, adding to being profitable for fishermen operating this fishing gear, the economic value of the trap net fishing business is feasible to be developed. | ||
