The purpose of this study was to determine the yield and type of catch, the comparison of
the number of catches and the efforts to manage electronic FADs on gill net fishing gear. This
research was conducted in Bulukumba waters from February to March 2017. Data collection was
carried out by direct observation of fishermen in Bulukumba waters. The samples used in this
study were FADs installed by fishermen in the waters of Bulukumba as many as 20 locations.
Based on the research results, fish catches with electronic FADs ranged from 98 to 131 fish per
fishing trip with a total catch of 2,324 fish. Meanwhile, the usual FAD catches ranged from 51 to
84 fish per fishing trip with a total catch of 1,313 fish and the highest type of fish was selar,
followed by male mackerel, Selar bentong, white Kuwe, Layang, Barracuda, selangat and Mata
goyang. The ratio between the catch and the use of electronic FADs was 64%, while the regular
FADs were 36%. Considering that FADs are an effective tool in collecting fish, a sustainable
management strategy is needed, including by (1) community based management, (2) limiting
fishing efforts, (3) stopping the addition of shallow marine FADs. , (4) use of fishing gear with
large mesh sizes and (5) prioritize the use of deep sea FADs.
