Abstract

The intensive exploitation of lemuru fishery resources in the Bali Strait began in the 1970s with the development of the purse seine fishing gear which had higher productivity compared to the existing fishing gear. During its development, the number of fishing gears and the fishing capacity of the purse seine is quite rapid so that it has a significant effect on the depletion of lemuru fish resources. The number of purse seine fishing gear from Muncar port is 203 vessels and from the validation results the number of purse seines has decreased to 176 vessels which are still considered active. Lemuru fisheries in the Bali Strait currently do not take output-based management actions (limiting catch), this is of course very dangerous because it does not provide opportunities for lemuru fish to carry out stock recovery. So that the need for IT Controlling through Fish Controlling on the web-base can be used to control a number of fishermen with different types of fishing gear, types of fish caught, and the number of catches in each fishing ground. Moreover, fishery sustainability analysis for Bali strait fishing ground has been performed in this study.
