Abstract

Freshwater stingrays are one of the catches targeted by fishers in the Musi River of Palembang City. However, freshwater stingrays are listed as endangered species by the IUCN, and Indonesian government regulates their preservation. Prohibiting the capture of freshwater stingrays can have significant impact on the livelihoods of fishers around the river. This research was designed to analyze fishers’ income and identify the contribution of freshwater stingray catches toward fishers’ income. According to income analysis, the results show that the average fishers’ income is around IDR 269,542.13 - 655,287.47 per trip per day with an R/C ratio to the total cost is 3.78 in the regular season and 2.14 in the low season. The share of freshwater stingray catches toward the total income ranges from 14.22% to 20.93%.
