Kajian Morfologi, Morfometrik Dan Status Konservasi Ikan Hiu Di Tpi Kota Sibolga Provinsi Sumatera Utara
ABSTRACT
Sharks are predatory animals that dwell near coral reefs and swim at the ocean's
bottom. Since the inclusion of many shark species in CITES Appendix II status in
2013, shark groups have become a global issue. This is owing to shark fishing's
high exploitation, both as a target capture and as a bycatch. The city of Sibolga is
strategically important as one of the key entry points for utilizing the potential of
western Sumatra's waters. This study was place during August and September of
2021. The goal of this study was to identify sharks landed through TPI Sibolga City
in North Sumatra Province, describe their morphology and morphometrics, and
describe their conservation status using IUCN and CITES criteria. According to the
findings, 310 sharks from ten different species were successfully landed at the TPI,
including S. chloroculus, N. ferrugineus, C. brevipinna, C. falciformis, C.
melanopterus, C. sorrah, R. acutus, R. oligolinx, T. obesus, and S. lewini. The
overall length variable has the strongest tendency, according to the results of the
Principal Component Analysis Scree Plot. C. brevipinna, C. falciformis, C.
melanopterus, C. sorrah, and T. obesus are shark species with comparable
morphometric features. According to the IUCN, the conservation status of S. lewini
is Critical or Threatened (EN). The status of N. ferrugineus is Very Vulnerable
(VU). Near Threatened (NT) status for S. chloroculus, C. brevipinna, C. falciformis,
C. melanopterus, C. sorrah, and T. obesus. Less Worrying Status was assigned to
R. acutus and R. oligolinx (LC). While the trading status of sharks based on CITES,
particularly C. falciformis, C. melanopterus, and S. lewini, are included in the
Appendix II list, which denotes species that are not threatened with extinction but
could be affected if trade continues without regulation.
