ANALYSIS OF FISHERY POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION USING AQUA MODIS SATELLITE IMAGERY IN THE NORTHERN REGION OF THE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREA 711

Abstract

Indonesia Fisheries Management Area 711 (WPPNRI 711) is a water that has abundant natural resources including oil and gas wealth and fish barns. Based on Kepmen KP No. 50 of 2017 WPPNRI 711 has fishery potential of 767,126 tons with a utilization rate of 10.66%. The lack of utilization is because local fishermen still use conventional methods, in optimizing fishermen's catches, it is necessary to conduct research using remote sensing methods. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of chlorophyll-a concentration and sea surface temperature to the distribution of Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) in WPPNRI 711 north. This study was conducted using Aqua-MODIS imagery data in 2018, 2019, 2020 at WPPNRI 711 north. High ZPPI points occurred in the western season as much as 54.11% and the lowest occurred in the eastern season as much as 4.23 %. ZPPI points are closely related to chlorophyll-a and SPL values, where if the chlorophyll-a value is high and the SPL value is low then the PFZ point is high.
