Effectiveness of Different Baits and Fishing times for Pentapodus Trivittatus in Faan Waters, Maluku Tenggara, Maluku, Indonesia

This study used Dendronereis pinnaticirris worms and Engraulis sp.Fish to catch Pentapodus trivittatus in the waters of Faan, Maluku Tenggara, Maluku, Indonesia.The aim was to determine which bait type caught the most Pentapodus trivittatus and to determine the most effective time to catch Pentapodus trivittatus.The method used is a complete randomized design ANOVA (CRD) statistical analysis to see the ratio of bait to the number of Pentapodus trivittatus fish caught and a comparative descriptive analysis to see the catch based on the time of fishing.This study, which lasted for 20 days, obtained a total number of Pentapodus trivittatus fish caught of 448 fish.The results of the complete randomized design ANOVA statistical test at = 0.05 are Fhit = 76.29 > Ftab = 4.01.These results indicate that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted.The conclusion is that the number of Pentapodus trivittatus caught by Dendronereis pinnaticirris worm bait and Engraulis sp.bait is not the same or significantly different.The Dendronereis pinnaticirris worm bait caught 305 Pentapodus trivittatus (68%), while the Engraulis sp.bait only caught 143 (32%).The fishing time for Pentapodus trivittatus fish in the first period from 07.00 to 10.00 WIT produced 325 fish (72%), while in the second period from 15.00 to 18.00 WIT only 123 fish or 28% were obtained.
