Estimasi Potensi dan Pemetaan Daerah Potensial Penangkapan Ikan Pelagis di Perairan Selayar dengan Menggunakan Citra Satelit Aqua/Modis

Abstract: The objectives of this study are to estimate the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) and to map potential pelagic fishing grounds in Selayar Waters. Firstly, the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) was estimated using Surplus Production Model and then calculated the TAC for both skipjack and scads. To generate this model, this study used 10 years time series (1995-2004) which consisted of catch and fishing effort data. Second, satellite images of sea surface temperature derived from MODIS were used to map out potential predicted area for each species based on their preferred sea surface temperature ranges for the period of June-September 2006.  Results showed that the exploitation rates for skipjack and scads were 15.39% and 49.7% of the TAC, respectively. The Potential fishing grounds for the species well formed in June, and mostly occurred near Selayar main Island and Takaborate coastal waters. These results were highly consistent with the empirical data.  As a result, the pelagic resources should be optimally exploited at the TAC level by utilizing potential predicted area defined by preferred sea surface temperature. These findings suggested that the potential fishing ground map could be easily produced by satellite imagery and should be important information to the fishermen.
