Abstract
Fringescale sardine (Sardinella fimbriata) is small pelagic fish that has an increasing production every year. This can trigger the occurrence of overfishing, so it is necessary to study the biology and dynamic population of fish. This research was conducted in December 2016 -May 2017. The purpose of this research was to determine the biological aspects and population dynamic of fringescale sardine (S. fimbriata) in Bali Strait. Samples were obtained from surface gillnet landed in Muncar fishing port, with 1471 of fish. Results showed that sex ratio was about balanced with the proportion of 55% male and 45% female. Length and weight relationship was negative allometric patterns. Length of first mature (Lm) male and female was 11.95 cm and 10.79 cm respectively. Based on dynamics population analysis it was found that length at first capture (Lc) was 10.44 cm. While K, L∞ and t0 were 0.54/year, 19.6 cm and -0.149 year respectively. In addition there was only one peak recruitment occured in 7th month of recruitment pattern. Another analysis indicated that a value of natural mortality (M) was 1.38 with sea surface temperature (SST) of 29.45°C. According to length frequency data total mortality (Z) was 6.41 so that fishing mortality (F) was calculated to be 5.03. Hence value of exploitation rate (E) was 0.79. It can be concluded that the fisheries resources status is categorized as overfishing.
