Keragaan Teknis Atraktor Cumi-cumi di Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Timur

Abstract

Penangkapan cumi-cumi di Kabupaten Lombok Timur saat ini mengalami penurunan hasil tangkapan dikarenakan jumlah armada yang meningkat dalam waktu cepat. Perlu adanya pengayaan terhadap sumberdaya cumi-cumi dengan diadakannya atraktor cumi-cumi. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mendeskripsikan unit penangkapan cumi-cumi, mendeskripsikan keragaan teknis atraktor cumi-cumi meliputi konstruksi dan spesifikasinya dan mengobservasi keragaan cumi-cumi berdasarkan kondisi lingkungan dan hasil tangkapan cumi-cumi di sekitar atraktor pada Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Analisis dilakukan dengan mendeskripsikan perikanan cumi-cumi, keragaan teknis atraktor cumi-cumi, dan hasil observasi kondisi atraktor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kegiatan penangkapan cumi-cumi di Kabupaten Lombok Timur menggunakan alat tangkap payang dan pancing cumi. Atraktor cumi-cumi jenis drum memiliki ukuran lebih kecil dan tidak memiliki baut seperti jenis fiberglass. Komponen yang dipasang kedua jenis atraktor diantaranya tali rami dan besi penyangga. Arus perairan menyebabkan kerusakan pada badan atraktor dan besi penyangga. Hasil tangkapan cumi-cumi di sekitar atraktor lebih besar 2 kali lipat dibandingkan hasil tangkapan yang berada di luar area atraktor. Berdasarkan hasil tangkapan yang diperoleh selama 4 minggu, total hasil tangkapan di sekitar atraktor mencapai 34,1 kg, sementara total hasil tangkapan di luar area atraktor mencapai 16,3 kg.

Squid fishing in East Lombok Regency is currently over exploited due to the rapid increase in the number of fleets. It is necessary to enrich the squid resources with squid attractors. The objectives of this study were to describe the squid fishing unit, describe the technical performance of the squid attractor including its construction and specifications and observe the squid behavior based on environmental conditions and squid catches around the attractor in the waters of East Lombok Regency. Analysis was conducted by describing the squid fishery, technical performance of the squid attractor, and observation of the attractor condition. The results showed that squid fishing activities in East Lombok Regency use payang, squid fishing rod, and tonda fishing rod. Drum-type squid attractors have a smaller size and do not have bolts like fiberglass types. Components installed in both types of attractors include hemp rope and iron supports. Water currents cause damage to attractor body and supporting iron. The catch of squid around attractor is 2 times greater than the catch outside the attractor area. based on the catch obtained for 4 weeks, the total catch around the attractor reached 34.1 Kg, while total catch outside the attractor area reached 16.3 Kg.
