The result of the research is that fish resources are utilized at a depth of > 50 meters using a drift fishing system, with a metal jig fishing line. Keywords: Drift Fishing. Fish resources. Malaumkarta. Metal jig INTRODUCTION The waters of Malaumkarta. Sorong Regency, is one of the coastal areas whose ecosystems are very well preserved as the result of the application of the local The utilization is split by two types of fishermen: main fishermen and side fishermen, whose main job is farming since the area is a fertile agricultural land. This area possesses a small island on the sea as a place for various animal ecosystems and for turtles to lay eggs. This area also has seagrass and coral reef ecosystems that are well-maintained so that various fish resources develop and grow well (Badarudin et al. , 2. Sasi is used as the local wisdom efforts carried out by the surrounding community to maintain the marine ecosystem on several superior products such as lobster, sea cucumber and lola. addition, the community only allows handline fishing gear in catching fish. Meanwhile, other fishing gear such as longlines, nets, and traps are prohibited in these waters (Sareo et al. , 2. Hand line is a fishing gear that is quite simple, consisting of a reel, nylon rope, swivel, and fishing rods that are adjusted to the size of the catch target. Generally, people use handlines to catch bottom fish, such as grouper. Letrinus sp, snapper, and others (Senewe et al. , 2019. Surahman & Ilhamdi, 2. However, in addition to catching fish, the coastal communities also live from developing coastal tourism, which are by being a guide of the Um Island and fishing. Interviews with the community resulted that most fishermen only fish in Malaumkarta waters between 15 to 50 meters deep. They sail by rowboats, ketinting boats, and outboard motor longboats. Unfortunately, they often lower the anchors so that the boats do not drift while the fishing is carried out in coral reef areas. On the other hand, the handlines environmentally friendly, but, the anchors that are often lowered at the fish spot can potentially harm coral reefs. One of the handline fishing methods that can be used without damaging coral reefs is drifting line fishing (Sururi et al. Meanwhile, fishermen have never used drift fishing and have not fished in places deeper than 50 meters. This study attempts to conduct a trial capture using drift fishing. The purpose of this study was to compare the composition of catches obtained from the 20-50 meters deep strata and > 50 meters deep. The fishing gear used is a fishing rod with a reel and a metal jig as bait. This catch is expected to be a recommendation for sustainability as well as a promotion in the tourism-based Malaumkarta waters, namely metal jig fishing tourism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Location and Time of Research The study was conducted in 6 . trips in 3 . locations around A Hak Cipta Oleh Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Tahun 2022 Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Vol. No. April 2022 the Waters of Um Island. Malaumkarta. Makbon District. Sorong Regency. West Papua from September 5 to 7, 2021. The tools used are ISSN: 2087-121X handrail fishing rods consisting of a rod, reel, and hook with a metal jig bait with an assist. The Metal Jig size is 60 gr Ae 200 The research location is presented in Fig. 1 as follows: Figure 1. Research Site Method The catch composition data were obtained using a direct survey method to get primary data using direct observation by fishing directly at the research site and interviews with fishermen. The research location was set at 6 . points, consisting of 3 points at < 50 meters deep and 3 points at > 50 meters deep. The spots were chosen based on the oceanography of the waters and the depth contours found in the Boating Navionic Asia Africa application and supported by the information from the Data Analysis The data obtained during the study were tabulated then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. A descriptive analysis is conducted to provide information about the composition of fish resources caught on metal jigs with drift fishing systems at < 50 meters and > 50 meter-deep. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Coral reefs found in Malaumkarta waters bring fertility at dawn and becomes the house for many fish. Coral is one of the marine biota that is sensitive to changes in sea water quality (Abrar et al. , 2. The results of oceanographic observations of the waters around UM Island. Malaumkarta. Makbon District. West Papua are presented in Table 1. A Hak Cipta Oleh Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Tahun 2022 Komposisi Sumberdaya Ikan Hasil Tangkapan Pancing UlurA (Misbah Sururi, dk. Table 1. Osanographic parameters of the waters around the Um island. Malaumkarta. Location Parameter Temperatu Depth Salinity Brightness Location Locatio A Hak Cipta Oleh Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Tahun 2022 Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Vol. No. April 2022 The distribution of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in Malaumkarta waters ranges from 24. 9 Ae 25. salinity between 26 Ae 33 psu. pH between 7. 65 Ae 7. ranging between 6. 32 - 7. and brightness between 17-26 . This condition shows that the water quality is still in accordance with sea water quality standards, specifically for corals, according to the Decree of the Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 51 of Oceanographic conditions can be used as a productivity indicator of waters. Aspects related to the condition of the seawater in the oceanographic parameters include temperature, chlorophyll-a, pH, current, depth, and other factors that determine the presence of fish in a region (Arifin, 2014. Nurdin et al. , 2. The results of the study in three locations at the waters of Malaumkarta with three samples from each location show different temperature ranging from 24. 9Ae 25. The temperature conditions of the surface waters obtained tended to be relatively the Temperature plays a role in controlling the condition of aquatic ecosystems. increase in temperature causes an increase in decomposition of organic matter by microbes (Effendi, 2. According to Garno . , dissolved oxygen in the waters of the West Coast of Sorong Regency ranges from 6. 30 Ae 6. ppm, while the results of dissolved Oxygen (DO) measurements in this study ranged 32 Ae 7. 97 ppm. So, the value of DO obtained indicates that the waters of Malaumkarta are in excellent condition for the survival of marine biota and meet the standard of seawater quality with DO value > 5 ppm in accordance with the State ISSN: 2087-121X Minister of Environment No. 51 year 2004 The results of salinity measurements in the Malaumkarta participants was similar to the sampling locations. Ranging from 2633 ppt, the values obtained were heterogeneous with variations in values that were not too large. The low salinity in the waters of Malaumkarta is due to the flow of fresh water from around the Dore Bay. The pH measurement of Malaumkarta waters ranges from 7. 65 Ae 7. 82, the pH value of seawater is relatively more stable and normally between the range of 7. 5 Ae 8. unless the waters are near the beach (Dojlido & Best, 1. The depth at which the sampling site was located ranged from 25 to 156 meters with brightness ranging from 17 to 26 m. The depth of waters is very influential in observing oceanographic dynamics, which is closely related to vertical temperature stratification, light penetration, density, and nutrient content which allows a condition that forms its own characteristics where demersal fish develop or associate at a certain depth distance (Hutabarat and Evans, 1. Composition of the Type of Fish Caught using Fishing Metaljig Most fishing activities are carried out in the waters around Um Island because it has a productive coral reef ecosystem. The fishing capacity of the reef fleet used is relatively small (<5 GT), so that he fishing operations are a one-day trip or a day at sea, with some intervals/periods. According to (Mallawa & Sudirman, 2012. Vibriyanti, small-scale characterized by the limited capital, boats and fishing gears used.

There were other types of fish that were not caught at the previous location. Gymnosarda Euthynnus affinis fish. Letrinus sp also dominates at < 50 meters deep, after Lutjanus Vitta. Unfortunately. Lutjanus Vitta was not the target of the catch. The total catch for < 50 meter-deep was only 8. kg consisting of 8 species and 31 The total number of these catches is much smaller compared to locations at > 50 meter-deep. These catches are in accordance with the results of research by Sareo et al . which show that the dominant catch of Malaumkarta fishermen is Lethrinus sp. Figure 3. Letrinus sp dominates the catch at Location i The high catch of fishermen from coral fish species groups is assumed because fishing ground is around the waters of Um Island, which is a habitat for coral The uniformity of the type of catch caught is arguably come from the same size of fishing line. This can be seen from the size of the fishing line, bait, and fishing techniques that are more focused on catching coral. According to (Marasabessy et al. , 2. the catch of fishermen around coastal and archipelagic waters can come from various species, where it will be difficult to reduce the catch of a single species when several species can be caught Comparison of catches by depth According to (Symbolon et al. , 2009. Symbolon, 2. , the optimization of a fishing operation is determined by the process of the fishing operation itself. Furthermore. Mukhtar . one of the success factors of fishing operations is the determination of fishing areas to be precise. The limited fishing gear and boats used as well as skills in managing businesses are also still relatively minimal, causing fishing productivity to get stucked. According to Muchlisin et al. , . fishermen still use knowledge based on experience in determining fishing areas, so catches tend not to be optimal. On the other hand, high operational costs also becomes one of the problems faced by them. Thus, a lot of information is needed regarding the conditions of potential capture areas in an effort to speed up the trip of capture operations and suppress expenditure. Fishing activities in fishing in the Malaumkarta Waters are carried out in the morning at 06. 00 WIT until the afternoon at 00 WIT. The capacity of the fishing boat is relatively small and without crews so that fishing is carried out on one day trip. Fishing can be done in one or several A Hak Cipta Oleh Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Tahun 2022 Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Vol. No. April 2022 within a day (Marasabessy et al. , 2. The fishing location is around the waters of Um Island, which is generally a coral fishing area and tends to be shallower. Based on information from local fishermen, on average, they fish at ISSN: 2087-121X 15-30 meter-deep. In Table 9, the differences in characteristics are presented comprehensively to the depth of fish caught using metal jig. Table 9. Differences in the characteristics of catches. No Comparison 20-50 meters More than 50 meters Number of Species 11 species . 17 species . Number of Individuals 73 individuals 62 individuals Total Weight caught 039 kg . 625 kg .

The number of species caught at > 50 meter-deep were 17 species . 71%) more than the number of species at < 50 meterdeep, which was only 11 species. Although, the number of individuals caught is greater at < 50 meter-deep. This can be interpreted that at a depth of less than 50 meters, there are relatively fewer types of fish with a relatively small size. The tabulation results in Table 4 show that the average weight of fish caught as a whole is 301. 9 grams at a < 50 meter-deep, while at > 50 meter-deep, the average weight reaches 1,686 grams or 69 kg. This suggests that fishing opportunities at > 50 m deep is better to be developed because there are more fish resources of a larger size. Fishermen as fishery activity actors have different income values depending on the catch . and the price of the catch commodity. The type of Kerapu fish ( Lethrinida. has a higher economic value, followed by Lutjanus Bohar (Lutjanu. and Letrinus sp (Serranida. fish, while Sphyraena barracuda and other non-target fish are the results by-catch at relatively low selling prices. Based on interviews, the highest income of the fishermen is up to Rp. 400,000- and the lowest is Rp. 200,000, - with catches ranging from 4 kg to 10 kg / trip. Meanwhile, the productivity of fishing using metaljig showed that the total catch amount at a depth of > 104. 625 kg . 60%), the average per trip was 34. This number of catches is 4. 75 times more than the catch at a depth of < 50 meters, which is 22. 039 kg . 39%) with an average per trip of 7. 35 kg. This shows that fishing at > 50 meter-deep brings much more fish compared to the catch of fishermen in general. Meanwhile, at a depth of < 50 meters, the results are relatively same as the catch of fishermen. So, the waters of Malaumkarta with a depth of > 50 meters are a potential fishing ground for The recommended fishing gear is handline fishing rods with metal jig baits. This fishing location is excellent for fishing tourism potential for the people of Malaumkarta. The sustainability of resources is a special characteristic of the waters of Um Island, so metal jig fishing at A Hak Cipta Oleh Jurnal Harpodon Borneo Tahun 2022 Komposisi Sumberdaya Ikan Hasil Tangkapan Pancing UlurA (Misbah Sururi, dk. > 50 meters deep is also highly recommended because drifting is often being done there as well, making no place for anchors, so it will not be exposed to coral reefs. Meanwhile, ordinary fishing fishers drop anchor 2 Ae 5 times in each fishing time, so as not to get carried away. Anchors dropped by fishermen can hit coral reefs, given that fishermen fish around coral Table 9 also shows that non-target fish caught at < 50 meters deep as many as 47 fish, or 61. 8% of the target fish, which are 27 fish. Meanwhile, at > 50 meters deep, the target fish reached 56 fish or 90. compared to only 6 non-target fish. This value indicates that the opportunities and potential for the development of catching dish should be at > 50 meter-deep, while < 50 meters should not be used for fishing. This is intended to maintain the sustainable potential of coral reefs, and can be used for other tourist potential such as diving or drift fishing system, with handline fish with CONCLUSION Badarudin.
