Abstract

The waters of Bara Bay, as one of the small pelagic fishing areas in Buru Regency, have considerable potential. The fishing effort carried out by small fishermen using traditional fishing gear such as gill nets and longline fishing has changed along with the development of fishing technology so that studies related to standing stock and the population of fish resources are needed. This study aims to determine the growth and frequency distribution patterns of Layang fish (Decapterus sp) and to compare the body length of fish caught outside the bay and inside the bay of Bara. The results showed that the highest frequency distribution of Layang (Decapterus sp) fish was outside the bay at 208 - 218 mm, and the location in the inner bay was 168 - 179 mm in length. The growth pattern of Layang fish (Decapterus sp) in both catchment locations (Outer Bay and Dalam Teluk) is a negative allometric, meaning that length growth is faster than weight growth. The relationship between fish length and weight was very strong with an R = 0.995 at the Outer Bay catchment area and an R = 0.983 value at the Inside Bay catchment location. There is a difference in the length of the Layang (Decapterus sp) caught outside the bay and inside the bay with a significant value of P <0.05, where the average length of the fly (Decapterus sp) outside the bay is greater (215.876 mm) than the average length. - Average Layang (Decapterus sp) in the Bay (193,661 mm).
