System dynamic modelling for sword and white pomfret fish resources at Depok coast, Bantul

Abstract

Depok Coast in Bantul Regency popular for fishing activities. The potential for considerable marine resources in Depok Coast is a major factor in the progress of the fisheries business. The potential of these marine resources can provide a great opportunity for the development of capture fisheries and raise the economy of coastal communities. Sword and white pomfret fish are the main commodities in capture fisheries households in Depok Coast. However, if the occurrence of continuous arrests without further study is feared to cause the end of the sword and white pomfret fish resources in the future. This study aims to determine fisheries resources especially Sword and White Pomfret in Depok coast waters, with dynamic system models up to 2030. The method used in this research is the modeling of dynamic systems, where the sub-systems of the ecological, economic and associated social and serve as a model system dynamic of sword and white pomfret fish resources. Data for the ecological sub-system is an inventory of sword and white pomfret fish and the condition of the waters of Depok Coast. Furthermore, for the economic sub-system interviews were conducted by focus group discussion for the fishermen on Depok Coast and results in quantitative form. Data for the social sub-system is the number of fishermen and the population of Depok Village. The results of this modeling shows that overfishing can reduce sword and white pomfret fish resources if it is not compensated by fish preservation.
