Effect of Time Difference in Catching Wire Bubu on Catch Results in the Waters of the Musi Tributary, Terusan Village, Musi Banyuasin Regency

This study aims to determine the effect of the difference in fishing time of wire bubu on the catch. This research was carried out for 30 arrests in the waters of the Musi tributary of the Musi River in Terusan Village, Musi Banyuasin Regency from January 4, 2024 to February 3, 2024. The method used in this study uses the experimental fishing method which is carried out during the day (11.00-17.00) and at night (18.00-24.00). The data obtained was then analyzed using the mean difference test (t-test). The results showed that the catch of sepat fish and snakehead fish during the day and night was significantly different (P<0.05), while the catch of betok fish and tembakang fish during the day and night was not significantly different (P>0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is a difference in fish catches during the day and at night where the catch using bubu fishing gear at night is higher than during the day.
