coding techniques, and data visualization tools were 

employed to synthesize and interpret complex 

datasets, facilitating the identification of key trends, 

drivers, and trade-offs inherent in gillnet fisheries 

management. 

To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of gillnet-

based marine capture fisheries in the Baai Island Port 

of Bengkulu, a multi-faceted approach was adopted, 

integrating both quantitative and qualitative methods. 

The methodology employed in this study encompasses 

data collection, analysis frameworks, and key metrics 

used to assess financial and operational performance. 

Data collection was conducted through a combination 

of primary and secondary sources. Primary data was 

obtained through structured interviews and surveys 

conducted with local fishermen, fisheries managers, 

and relevant stakeholders in the Baai Island Port 

community. These interviews aimed to gather insights 

into fishing practices, catch composition, revenue 

streams, operational costs, and socio-economic factors 

influencing gillnet fisheries. Secondary data sources 

included official records, government reports, and 

scholarly literature, providing supplementary 

information on fisheries management policies, 

environmental regulations, and historical trends in fish 

stocks and market dynamics. 

The financial evaluation of gillnet-based marine 

capture fisheries involved the compilation and analysis 

of revenue and expenditure data. Revenue streams 

were assessed based on the sale of fish catch, including 

market prices and demand for target species. 

Operational costs encompassed expenses related to 

fuel, gear maintenance, crew wages, and other 

overheads associated with fishing operations. Financial 

metrics such as gross revenue, net profit, profit 

margins, return on investment (ROI), and cost-

effectiveness ratios were calculated to assess the 

economic performance and viability of gillnet fisheries 

in the Baai Island Port. 

Operational efficiency was evaluated through the 

analysis of fishing effort, catch rates, and resource 

utilization. Fishing effort was quantified in terms of 

fishing trips, duration, and spatial distribution within 

the fishing grounds. Catch rates were assessed by 

species composition, size distribution, and temporal 

variability, providing insights into the productivity and 

sustainability of gillnet fishing practices. Resource 

utilization metrics, including gear selectivity, bycatch 

rates, and discards, were examined to evaluate the 

ecological impact and efficiency of gillnet fisheries on 

marine ecosystems.

RESULTS 

The comprehensive evaluation of gillnet-based marine 

capture fisheries in the Baai Island Port of Bengkulu 

yielded valuable insights into the performance 

dynamics, economic viability, and ecological 

sustainability of this fishing method. Financial analysis 

revealed that gillnet operations generated significant 

revenue streams, primarily driven by the high demand 

for target species such as mackerel, snapper, and 

grouper in domestic and international markets. 

However, operational costs, including fuel expenses, 

gear maintenance, and crew wages, exerted 

considerable pressure on profit margins, highlighting 

the need for cost-effective management strategies 

and investment in technological innovations to 

enhance operational efficiency and reduce overheads. 

Operational assessments indicated varying levels of 

catch rates and gear selectivity among gillnet 

fishermen, reflecting differences in fishing practices, 

gear configurations, and environmental conditions 

within the fishing grounds. While some fishermen 

reported satisfactory catch yields and minimal bycatch, 

others encountered challenges associated with gear 

entanglement, habitat degradation, and species 

depletion, underscoring the importance of adaptive 

management approaches and ecosystem-based 

fisheries management principles to mitigate adverse 

impacts and promote sustainable resource use. 

DISCUSSION 

The findings of this study underscore the complex 

interplay between socio-economic factors, 

environmental dynamics, and regulatory frameworks 

shaping gillnet fisheries in the Baai Island Port. The 

reliance of coastal communities on marine resources
