Tingkat Keramahan Lingkungan Alat Tangkap Payang Di Uptd Pelabuhan Perikanan Wilayah I Provinsi Sumatera Barat
Payang is a traditional fishing gear commonly used by fishermen in coastal areas of Indonesia, including West Sumatra. Although effective for catching small pelagic fish, its use raises sustainability concerns due to its small mesh size, which may trap juvenile and non-target species. To address such issues, the FAO introduced the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) in 1995, which outlines nine criteria to assess the environmental impact of fishing gear. This study aims to evaluate the environmental friendliness of payang fishing gear used at UPTD Pelabuhan Perikanan Wilayah I, West Sumatra Province. The research was conducted from November 10 to 20, 2024, using a survey method that included direct observation, structured interviews, and questionnaires distributed to selected respondents. The results show that payang gear achieved a score of 29.93 based on the nine CCRF criteria, placing it in the environmentally friendly category. The total catch was 2,586 kg, dominated by skipjack tuna (60.39%), with additional catches of anchovies, mackerel, scad, and selar. Economically valuable bycatch such as squid and barracuda was also recorded. The gear demonstrated good selectivity, low ecosystem impact, and minimal threat to protected species. In conclusion, the payang gear used in this area meets international standards for environmentally friendly fishing and supports sustainable marine resource utilization.
