Abstract

Estimating fish stocks, including their distribution and density, plays a vital role in the management of capture fisheries. Hydroacoustic technology is widely utilized for fish stock estimation study. In September 2022, BRIN and IPB University conducted hydroacoustic data measurement in the Banggai Sea as part of the “Banggai Upwelling Dynamics Exploration and Experiment” to estimate fish stocks. Very large fish (>58 cm) has a density of 12,452 fish km-2. The spatial distribution of fish occurs in the eastern waters of Banggai Island and the northern waters of Taliabu Island. The most significant potential is the epipelagic layer (0 to -200 meters), with very small-sized fish having the highest density, followed by large-sized and small-sized fish. To summarize the analysis results of fish density distribution , a GIS-Dashboard is utilized. This online platform integrates various maps and charts, offering an engaging and easily understandable visualization of the information.
