Feasible Catched Analysis Of Katsuwonus Pelamis Linnaeus In Three Different Location

The objectives of the research is to study the condition of skipjack tuna especially feasibility of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis Linnaeus) catched at three different locations using purse seine and pole line. The research was held January to December 2016 in Bitung, North Sulawesi at three different location as a fishing ground. Fishing gear of K. pelamis in the experiment is purse seine and pole line. The result was showed difference of feasible and unfeasible catched of K. pelamis based location and fishing gear. The experiment used purse seine fishing gear is a non-selective fishing tool, while the pole line is a fishing tool that is very easy to apply, environmentally friendly and selective. This is great importance in fishery assessments and sustainability of K. pelamis in Bitung.
