Abstract

This study aimed to determine the variability in peak season of tuna fishing to regional climate change with the aim to optimize the utilization of Katsuwonus pelamis. Sampling and measurement times were performed at the end of the East season, which was from September to December 2019. The results of this study show that regional climate change affected inter-monthly variation of the peak seasons of Katsuwonus pelamis fishing in the fisheries management (FMA) 715 area. The regional climate change triggered from the Pacific Ocean caused the unsuitable water conditions in the FMA 715 for Katsuwonus pelamis fishing.
