Analysis of suitability of the purse seine fishing area according to regulation of marine and fisheries minister (permen kp) number 71 of 2016

Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia number 71/PERMEN. KP/2016 on Fishing Lines and Placement of Fishing Equipment in the Fisheries Management Area of the Republic of Indonesia in article 22 paragraph (1), the placement of fishing gear and fishing aids in WPP RI is adjusted to the nature of fishing equipment. Some previous studies have reported that the operation of ring trawlers and the placement of rumpons in the waters of Bone Bay and Flores Sea are not in accordance with the path of its designation as stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Therefore, it is important to conduct research on purse seine in the waters of the Gulf of Bone in relation to The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation number 71 of 2016. The study was conducted from November 2016 to March 2017 in Panyula Village, which is the fishing base area of purse seine fishermen and the waters of the Gulf of Bone. The study used a combination of survey methods and case studies. This study used two types: primary data and secondary data. The suitability of the area of arrest or the ring trawler arrest line to its designated path based on the technical aspects of each ring trawler unit according to Minister regulation 71 of 2016 is analyzed descriptively by comparing the path of its designation and the reality of the field. Based on observations of the position of the fishing area, the majority of ring trawler units make fishing on their allotments in accordance with The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation 71 of 2016, however, there are fishing activities on fishing lines instead of their designation.
