Abstract

Fixed Lift Net is one of the passive fishing gear that is widely operated by fishermen, with the help of lights as a tool to attract fish attention. This research was conducted in July 2022 - August 2022.The purpose of this study is to determine the composition of the types of catches and catch productivity. The research method used was the experimental method for 25 trips using 2 units of fixed lift net as a comparison. The results of the study prove that there are 13 types of fish in both of fixed lift net, Siro, Lemuru, Squid, Tembang, Yellow Selar, Selar Bentong, Jellyfish Mackerel, Male Mackerel, Selar Como, Cuttlefish, Tetengkek, Yellow Tail, and Barracuda.
