INTRODUCTION East Aceh Regency is one of the regencies of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, located geographically between 4A09'21. 08Ay5A06'02. 16Ay North Latitude and 97A15'22. 07Ay97A34'4722Ay East Longitude. The area of East Aceh Regency is 6,040. 60 Km2 (East Aceh Regency Marine and Fisheries Service, 2. Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18/PERMENKP/2014 concerning the Division of WPP-RI. East Aceh WATERS are in WPP 571 which directly faces the Malacca Strait (KKP, 2. According to Emmanuel et al. gillnets are rectangular nets that stretch vertically . ue to the presence of weights and float. in the waters and will block fish so that fish are caught in the net. According to Kazi et al. gillnets are also a very popular fishing tool among traditional fishermen due to their simple construction and relatively low investment costs. Gillnets are also a highly selective fishing tool, capable of catching only catches that match the target size. The gill nets found along the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong village are called meneng nets. The nets used by fishermen on the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong village have several types of mesh sizes. The mesh sizes used are 1 1/4 inches, 2 inches, 3 inches, and 5 One of the fishing gear used on the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong village is the gill net, which is the livelihood of local fishermen. The use of gill net fishing gear on the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong village is still quite simple. Gill net fishermen usually carry out fishing operations in the morning at 6:00 a. The catch obtained by the fishermen is intended for sale . and consumption. The catch with gill net fishing gear on the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong Village is meneng fish (Temban. , gantup fish . ackfruit seed. , tuwih fish . , gapah fish . , cirik fish . and so on. The total catch carried out in the waters of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong is estimated at 10-50 kg in one catch. Information on the types of catches from gill nets operated in the morning is still very limited, however this information is very much needed by fishermen to develop gill nets in the local village . Seeing the current condition with the absence of community service regarding the analysis of gill net catches on the coast of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong Village, the researcher feels the need to carry out community service related to the analysis of the gill net catches . The catch data obtained by local fishermen is also not recorded, because the catch is directly sold by fishermen without recording the catch.

Gillnet Fishing Equipment Gillnets are a type of fishing gear made from rectangular netting with the same mesh size as the main net (Marthasuganda, 2. Gillnets are passive fishing gear. Passive fishing gear usually targets active organisms, while active fishing gear targets passive organisms (Mardiah et al . , 2. Gillnets are the most common fishing gear and are widely used in both developed and developing countries. Gillnets can be used for catching pelagic and demersal fish, from small vessels to large industrial Gillnets are efficient, inexpensive, and easy to handle. However, many gillnets are lost at sea during fishing (Grimaldo et al. , 2. Gillnet use is divided into three areas: surface waters, midwaters, and bottom waters. The construction of the gillnet fishing gear consists of a net body, line, weight and float (Tangke, 2. Gillnets are one type of fishing gear widely used by fishermen, ranging from circular gillnets, bottom gillnets, and surface gillnets that are operated during the day and night. Fishing efforts using gillnets are no longer a new technology for fishermen, this is because the materials are easier to obtain, technically easy to operate and cheap, economical and affordable for fishermen, and more selective about the size of the fish caught (Tawari, 2013. Dermawati et al , 2. Gillnets are a type of fishing gear made of rectangular net material with the same mesh. The number of meshes in the long direction ( mesh length / ML ) is much more than the number of meshes in the vertical direction ( mesh depth / MD). At the top it is equipped with several floats and at the bottom it is equipped with several sinkers so that the presence of two opposing forces allows the gillnet to be installed in the fishing area in an upright position (Hantadari, 2. Gillnet is a fishing tool that has a general rectangular shape with parts of the tool consisting of the main net, upper ris rope, lower ris rope, float and sembar rope. Net material consisting of mesh size , thread size , net color, haging ratio and net height are factors that determine fishing efficiency. Gillnet is used to catch large fish species including salmon, cord , mackerel, sardines, crabs, sharks, tuna, shrimp and so on. Drift gillnet is basically the same as gillnet , but there is a difference in the way it is operated in the fishing area. The success of fishing in a waters with passive gillnet fishing gear is not only influenced by the number of fish that pass through the net but also by the movement of fish migration (Syofyan et al , 2. Gillnet Fishing Gear Operating Techniques Gillnet fishing gear works by blocking the direction of fish movement. Gillnets, when viewed from their construction, are simple fishing gear and are quite affordable for fishing communities. Gillnets, which are categorized as nets, have a simple construction such as a ris line, a net body, a weight, and a float. In narrow waters such as rivers, gillnets are operated without floats. they are simply tied to logs or trees around the waters (Rohadi et al . , 2. According to Wijayanti et al. , before carrying out fishing operations, fishermen first determine the fishing ground area . Vol 3 No 2 Tahun 2024, pp. 1 Ae 19 | ISSN: 2964-1772 | DOI: https://doi. org/ 10. 61992/jpb. namely in the odorless swamp area, because usually there are no fish in odorous areas. Choose an area that is free of plants such as water hyacinth and algae, because they can interfere with the fishing process and can even damage the net. The operating procedure for gillnets is as follows: Setting : After determining the intended fishing area, the boat will stop, then the net can be lowered starting from the marker buoy, then from one end and followed by the net body to the other end of the net. The setting process is carried out for 1-2 hours. Setting depends on the number of net meters owned. the more net meters owned, the longer it will take. Immersing is the process of soaking or leaving the net in water . The immersion process is carried out overnight or depending on the fishing area and the target fish. Hauling : After the net is lifted from the water overnight, the fishermen then retrieve their catch one by one, usually called mitil by local fishermen. Some fishermen also collect their catch at home, depending on the quantity. Hauling takes longer than setting because the fishermen also clean the net of dirt. The operation of gillnet fishing gear consists of setting the fishing gear , soaking it , and hauling The operation of gillnet fishing gear is intended to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, mackerel, scad, mackerel, selanget, petek (Setiawati et al. , 2. , selar and serai (Hendrik, 2. , manyung, julungjulung, lamadang, parang-parang (Rijal, 2. Gillnet Catch Results The types of fish that are entangled in the mesh, for example, sardines, kites, mackerel, etc. form a school and it can be said that each individual is almost the same size. Types of fish such as sharks, una which have very large bodies that cannot possibly get entangled in the net mesh or fish such as flat fish which have a wide flat body shape , making it difficult to get caught in the net, these fish will be caught by getting entangled (Sudirman and Mallawa, 2. According to Anggita . gillnet fishing gear tends to catch a variety of fish so that many types of fish are caught with dominant sizes or various sizes. Gillnet fishing gear is a rectangular net, has the same mesh size in each net body, the width of the net is shorter when compared to the length of the net so that the number of meshes towards the width is less than the number of meshes towards the length. The number of fish caught is related to the season and fishing efforts carried out by fishermen including the number of boats and the number of days at sea. In addition, the length of the net and the number of crew can also affect the amount of fish production (Setiawati et al,.

The method used in this community service was a field survey. According to Najir . , the survey method is a community service conducted to obtain existing factors or symptoms and seek actual information, whether on political, social, or economic issues of a group or The types of data used in this community service are primary and secondary data. Primary data collection was conducted through direct observation in the field. Primary data collected included the type, quantity, size, and weight of the gillnet catch. Meanwhile, secondary data is comparative data to support the community service results. Secondary data can be obtained from scientific references such as . ooks, journals, theses and dissertation. related to the gillnet fisheries unit (Atharis, 2. To collect catch data, a sampling of the number of vessels was conducted. A total of six vessels were sampled, consisting of two vessels using gillnets with a mesh size of 1 1/4 inches, two vessels using gillnets with a mesh size of 2 inches , and two vessels using gillnets with a mesh size of 3 All data was recorded and analyzed. Analysis of Catch Composition Before analysis, the catch is first identified to determine the common and Latin names of the fish caught. This identification can be done using a fish identification book. After identification, the data can be processed using Microsoft Excel to determine the composition of the gillnet catch. The data can then be presented in tabular form and discussed in detail . Vol 3 No 2 Tahun 2024, pp. 1 Ae 19 | ISSN: 2964-1772 | DOI: https://doi. org/ 10. 61992/jpb.

The catch with the largest average length in the 3 inch mesh was obtained in mackerel with an average length of 33. 02 cm. DISCUSSION Composition of Catch Results According to Firnanda . states that the composition of the catch is the target of a particular species that is the target of the catch and species that are not the target of the catch of the total number of catches. The composition of the catch is analyzed descriptively by distinguishing the main catch and bycatch. In line with the service Wita . states that the main catch (HTU) is the catch of the main target . ain targe. of the catch, while the bycatch (HTS) is the catch that is not the target species . y-catc. The catch caught during the service using gill net fishing gear in Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong Village was obtained 22 types of fish and can be seen in tables 4. 1, 4. 2 and 4. the number of catches that were most caught at the mesh size of 1 A inches there are 2 types of fish with a number exceeding 100 or > 10% of the total catch, namely tembang fish as many as 131 and jackfruit seed fish as many as 124. Furthermore, the most common catches caught in the 2 inch mesh size were 3 types of fish with a number exceeding 100 or > 10% of the total catch , namely 114 delis fish , 102 talang fish and ribbon fish . NASKAH ACEH Vol x No x Bulan 2023 as many as 100 fish. Then the most caught catch in the 3-inch mesh size was 3 types of fish with a number exceeding 100 fish or > 10% of the total catch, namely petek fish as many as 123 fish. Kapasan kerot-kerot fish as many as 108 fish and diles fish as many as 108 fish. According to Maldi . the dominant fish species caught by gill nets are katunkapotak, diles, layur, kwee, petek, selar, tetengkek, and bulan-bulan, so it is likely that delis, layur, and petek fish are the fish species that are often caught by gill nets even though they are not the main catch. The influence of high and low catches in the operation of a fishing gear can be influenced by several factors such as the length of the fishing trip, fishing area, boat size, and the length and size of the mesh used (Lisna et al,. The main catches in the coastal gill nets of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong Village at a mesh size of 1 A inches are tembang fish, at a mesh size of 2 inches are layur fish, and at a mesh size of 3 inches are kapasan kerot-kerot and kwee fish. Furthermore, the most common bycatch caught in the 1 A inch mesh size is jackfruit seed fish and kurisi fish, in the 2 inch mesh size is delis fish and talang fish, and in the 3 inch mesh size is petek fish and delis fish. Distribution of Gill Net Catch Size The distribution of catch sizes is divided into two categories: fish length and fish Both indicators are used to determine the size of a species. Fish length is measured using a meter, while fish weight is measured using a digital scale. Fish length measurements are performed on all types of catch. Meanwhile, gonad maturity to determine catchable size refers to fishbase. Based on the catch results, the most common catches in the 1 A mesh size were obtained two types of fish: tembang fish with an average length of 8. 45 cm and an average weight of 33. 03 grams, and kurisi fish with an average length of 7. 21 cm and an average weight of 44. 02 grams. Furthermore, the most caught fish in the 2-inch mesh size were 3 types of fish, namely: delis fish with an average length of 16. 53 cm and an average weight of 95. 07 grams, talang fish with an average length of 18. 91 cm and an average weight of 130. 47 grams, and ribbon fish with an average length of 57. 51 cm and an average weight of 211. 10 grams. Then the most caught fish in the 3-inch mesh size were 3 types . NASKAH ACEH Vol x No x Bulan 2023 The fish are: petek fish with an average length of 15. 45 cm and an average weight of 64 grams. Kapasan kerot-kerot fish with an average length of 22. 31 cm and an average weight of 265. 35 grams, and diles fish with an average length of 23. 28 cm and an average weight of 231. 11 grams. Based on the interval class of the main catch on the mesh size of 1 A inches, namely tembang fish with an average length of 8. 45 cm in the interval class of 6. 1 cm with the number of fish caught in the length interval of 65 fish. While the size of the fish when it first experienced gonad maturity . 8 cm, based on this the tembang fish caught did not meet the criteria for being worthy of being caught. Furthermore, the interval class on the mesh size of 2 inches was ribbon fish with an average length of 57. 51 cm in the interval class of 61. 71 cm, with the number of fish caught in the length interval of 49 fish. While the size of the fish when it first experienced gonad maturity . 6 cm, based on this the ribbon fish caught had met the criteria for being worthy of being caught. Then the interval class at the 3 inch mesh size is the Kapasan Kerot-Kerot fish, where the Kapasan Kerot-Kerot fish has an average length of 22. 31 cm in the interval class of 23. 34 cm, with the number of fish caught in the length interval being 30. While the size of the fish when it first experienced gonad maturity . was 18 cm, based on this, the Kapasan Kero-Kerot fish caught have met the criteria for being suitable for capture. Based on the interval class of the overall bycatch net mesh size, namely kurisi fish with an interval class of 6. 03 cm with a frequency of 32 fish , yellow trevally with an interval class of 5. 17 cm with a frequency of 21 fish, saurida fish with an interval class of 16-19. 75 cm with a frequency of 7 fish, talang fish with an interval class of 94 cm with a frequency of 20 fish, diles fish with an interval class of 15. 42 cm with a frequency of 36 fish, petek fish with an interval class of 15. 23 cm with a frequency of 40 fish, bulan-bulan fish with an interval class of 18-20. 08 cm with a frequency of 12 fish, parang-parang fish with an interval class of 13-19. 23 cm with a frequency of 13 fish, biji nangka fish with an interval class of 9-10. 64 cm with a frequency of 9 fish, katun fish with an interval class of 15. 42 cm with a frequency of 36 fish, petek fish with an interval class of 15. 23 cm with a frequency of 40 fish, bulan-bulan fish with an interval class of 18-20. 08 cm with a frequency of 12 fish, parang-parang fish with an interval class of 13-19. 23 cm with a frequency of 13 fish, biji nangka fish with an interval class of 9-10. 64 cm with a frequency of 9 fish, cotton fish with an interval class of 15. 42 cm with a frequency of 36 fish. 23 cm with a frequency of 8 fish, mackerel fish with an interval class of 34. 14 cm with a frequency of 12 fish, tetengkek fish with an interval class of 19. 52 cm with a NASKAH ACEH Vol x No x Bulan 2023 frequency of 5 fish. kuro fish with an interval class of 14-16. 14 cm with a frequency of 22 fish, talang fish with an interval class of 27. 91 cm with a frequency of 23 fish, gerot-gerot fish with an interval class of 17. 06 cm with a frequency of 2 fish, kerong-kerong fish with an interval class of 16-17. 00 cm with a frequency of 2 fish, alualu fish with an interval class of 32. 02 cm with a frequency of 2 fish, flathead fish with an interval class of 24. 03 cm with a frequency of 1 fish. Based on the composition of the catch that has been obtained, the number of catches that are suitable for fishing and not suitable for fishing can be seen in Figures 4. 1, 4. 2 and 4. 1 1/4 inci Figure 4. 1 Catch Results of Fishing Nets Suitable for Catching and Not Suitable for Catching Gills Size 1 A Inch 2 inci Layak Tidak layak tangkap Figure 4. 2 Catch Results of Fishing Nets Suitable for Catching and Not Suitable for Catching 2 Inch Gills NASKAH ACEH Vol x No x Bulan 2023 3 inci Tidak Layak Tangkap Layak Tangkap Figure 4. 3 Results of Catches of Suitable and Unsuitable Fish from 3 - Inch Gill Nets The gill net catch in the waters of Matang Rayeuk Pedawa Puntong Village can generally be categorized as unsuitable for fishing, while the 3-inch mesh size is considered suitable for fishing. Figure 4. 1 shows that 28% of the catch is suitable for fishing and 72% is unsuitable for fishing. Figure 4. 2 shows that 45% of the catch is suitable for fishing and 55% is unsuitable for fishing.
