Abstract

Bali Sardinella (Sardinella lemuru) is one of the small pelagic fish widely utilized by people in Lombok island. It serves not only to meet food needs on a household scale but also as a raw material on an industrial scale. This causes a high level of utilization of the Bali Sardinella in West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) Province. Awang Bay is one of the fishing ground centers in the province. This study aimed to determine and describe the population condition and sustainability status of the Bali Sardinella fishery in the Awang Bay based on the biological fisheries condition. The sampling was carried out in Awang Bay from July to August 2022. A total of 306 individuals of fish were sampled and measured for length and weight. This study found that the fish population had a negative allometric growth pattern, indicating a thin body shape. The population was dominated by young fish with 6,40-16,20 cm fork length and 3,0-39,0 g weight. The proportion of fish population that are suitable for maturation, catching, and consumption was 30%, 30%, and 37%, respectively. Feasibility parameter values ranging below 50% indicated that Bali Sardinella fishery activities from July until August were less sustainable. The results of this study can be used as one of the basic information for the local government in developing fisheries management policies in the WNT Province.
