Abstract
Fish landing activities in Sibolga Fishing Port are dominated by small pelagic fish, used purse seine. Purse seine is one of the most widely used fishing gear in Sibolga. The reason for the large number of fishing gears is because this fishing gear is considered to be quite effective in use and also the availability of potential to support it in carrying out its operation. Fishing using purse seine is one of the fishing methods aimed at large schools of pelagic fish. The purpose of this study was to determine the specifications of the purse seine at KM Karya Maju and to determine the method of operation of the purse seine at KM Karya Maju. The research was carried out March-April 2019 at KM Karya Maju. The purse seine specifications at KM Karya Maju consist of upper rope, lower rope, buoys, ballast rope, self edge, ring rope, ropes, buoys, sinkers, rings. The purse seine operation area is located at WPP 572, from Nias island to North Natuna. Purse seine at KM Karya Maju is operated at night, using FADs. The principle of operation of KM Karya Maju's purse seine is by circling a group of fish into a pocket- shaped net.
