Abstract

In this study, a new design scottish seine netĀ  was used with largerĀ  than the general size of the Scottish seine net in the research location. The purpose of this research was to analyze the total catch, species composition and the length of the catch. The study was conducted on one case of a Scottish seine net fishery unit by making a new design of Scottish seine net and then operating it with Scottish seine net fishers in the waters of Majene Makassar Strait. The parameters observed were the fish species caught and the length of each species. From the study results, it was found that the catch of 8 species of fish with total of 15,253 fish in the other bag.
