Difference Effect of Mouth Width Size and Operating Depth of Sodo (Push net) on the Catch of Rebon Shrimp (Acetes indicus H. Milne Edwards, 1830) in Tanah Kuning Waters, North Kalimantan, Indonesia

ABSTRACT

Sodo (push net) is a fishing gear used to capture Rebon shrimp (Acetes indicus H. Milne-Edwards, 1830) by fishermen in Tanah Kuning water and it has a construction for varied operation depth. The purpose of this study was to determine the combination of the size of the mouth width and depth of operation of Sodo to get the most Rebon shrimp catch in the waters of Tanah Kuning. The study method used is experimental with Randomized Block Design (RBD). The first group is the size of the width used, equaling 4.8 m, 6 m, and 7.2 m, and depths of 0.5 to 3 m, and 4 to 6 m. The catch data was taken on January 15-22 2019. The results show that the A2B1 treatment, which is a combination of the size of the mouth width of 6 m and operated at a depth 0.5 – 3 m, was the best treatment, with the highest catch of mass 238 kg.
