- Abstract
Banten Province has a very strategic position because it has unique water characteristics because the borders are direct with the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea, and the mixing of water masses in the Sunda Strait. These conditions make the waters as a center of fishing activity, especially pelagic fish. The sustainable potential of pelagic fish in 2015 reached 49,576.11 tons. The development of pelagic fisheries in Banten still faces various challenges including fluctuations in fishing productivity. This study aims to determine the productivity of pelagic fisheries in the Sunda Strait. The study was conducted in May-August 2019 on the coast of the Sunda Strait by a survey method. The productivity of small pelagic fisheries is analyzed based on the productivity value of the fishing unit and the productivity of fishermen. The types of pelagic fish resources that become commodities and the main target of fishermen caught in Pandeglang Regency which are small pelagic fish, comprising mackerel, scad, yellowstripe scad, mackerel tuna and anchovy. The production volume of anchovy in Pandeglang Regency reaches 68% of the total small pelagic fish production, while mackerel has a contribution of 26%. The average productivity of fishing units per year reaches 17,730 kg. Annual productivity of fishermen reaches 4,426 kg with productivity per trip of 55 kg. Small pelagic fisheries businesses in this region can still be maintained to improve the welfare of fishermen through the application of sustainable management principles.
