Abstract
Prohibition of several fishing gears has been started since 2015 by issuing MMAF Ministry regulation no. 2 of 2015. The regulation prohibits several fishing gears; one of them is seine nets. MMAF Ministry regulation no. 71 of 2016 details the size of seine nets, including purse seine, which are not allowed. Fishers still believe that fishing using the purse seine with a large fleet gives more production than the hand line fishing gear with a small fleet. The purpose of this study is to see whether the hand line fishing gear has smaller production or productivity per GT than others. The data used for this study were obtained from the Letters of Evidence Report for Fishing Ship Arrival (STBLK) and from National Fishing Ports (PPN) Kwandang in the North Gorontalo Regency from March to November 2018 to be analyzed. The results show that hand line fishing gear with small fleet gets average productivity for about 9.195 Kg/GT/year compared to large vessels with purse seine fishing gear, which gets average productivity for about 1.985 Kg/GT/year.
