PERKEMBANGAN PERIKANAN TANGKAP AKIBAT PERUBAHAN LUASAN LAGUNA SEGARA ANAKAN CILACAP (JAWA TENGAH)

Abstract

Segara Anakan Lagoon continously has been being degradated by the high level of sedimentation. Sedimentation caused the lagoon depth become shallower and the extent get narrower. It is estimated that as the Segara Anakan Lagoon get shallower and narrower it would effect the development of fishing armada number, gear type and number, production facility, and its production. The research aimed to observe the Segara Anakan condition change between 1992-2006 and the capture fisheries development. The research was held by collecting primary and secondary data including fisheries production, gear type and number, fish diversity, and fishing armada. The result showed that the fishing armada is significantly decreasing between 1992-2006 period, so on the gear number and fisheries production as the decreasing of area extent of Segara Anakan Lagoon. But, from all those variables, the decreasing of fishing gear number is the most significant variable effecting the fisheries production, while other variables are less significant. Beside the decreasing of fisheries production, there was also species changes cathced in Segara Anakan where in 1985 observation there were about 45 fish spesies while in 1999 observation there are only 18 fish species where 15 of them were new specieses.
