Feasibility and productivity analysis of arad (mini trawl) fisheries in Cilincing North Jakarta

In 2019, fish production landed at TPI Cilincing weighed 1,476,750 kg, with a value of IDR 47,501,137,000.00. One of the fishing gears used in Cilincing is mini trawl nets. This fishing gear is categorized as illegal by the ministry of marine affairs due to its destructive nature. However, many fishermen still operate this fishing gear and refuse to switch into more environmentally friendly fishing gears. This research aims 1.) to determine the feasibility of the mini trawl in Cilincing, North Jakarta; and 2.) to determine the productivity of mini trawl fishing units and compare it to more environmentally friendly fishing gears. This research was conducted from January - May 2024. The data analyses used were both qualitative and quantitative to provide an overview of mini trawl productivity and financial analysis. The results show that NPV was positive, with B/C >1 (2,21), and an IRR value of 38%. This result shows that mini trawl fishery is beneficial because the return on capital is faster and the profits are higher compared to more environmentally friendly fishing gears. In addition, the productivity value of mini trawl per trip was 0.32 tons/trip and the mini trawl net had a much higher productivity value compared to bottom gillnets (rampus) and blue swimming crab gillnets.
