Inventarisasi Jenis-jenis Ikan di Tempat Penjualan Ikan (TPI) Kali Waisai, Kabupaten Raja Ampat

Abstract

Karakteristik penangkapan ikan di Perairan Kepulauan Raja Ampat dapat diketahui karakteristik jenis ikan yang dijual di Tempat Penjualan Ikan (TPI, salah satunya TPI Kali Waisai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis ikan yang ada di TPI Kali Waisai dan untuk mengetahui jenis ikan yang paling banyak terdapat di TPI Kali Waisai. Penelitian tentang inventarisasi jenis-jenis ikan di Tempat Penjualan Ikan (TPI) Kali Waisai Kabupaten Raja Ampat telah dilakukan pada bulan Juli−September 2013. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan ada berkisar 39 spesies yang mewakili 18 famili yaitu Carangidae, Lutjanidae Scombridae, Siganidae, Clupidae, Caesionidae, Leiognatidae, Serranidae, Hamulidae. Scaridae, Kyphosidae, Belonidae, Exocoetidae, Lethrinidae, Nepiteridae, Mullidae, Sphyraenidae, Mugilidae. Sedikitnya jenis dan famili ikan didapatkan karena adanya musim angin selatan yang menghambat nelayan ke laut bertepatan dengan waktu penelitian. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan jenis-jenis ikan yang termasuk jenis ikan bernilai ekonomis penting. Jenis ikan yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah jenis ikan dari famili Carangidae yaitu 6 spesies (15,38%). Terwakilinya semua jenis habitat tempat hidup ikan di sekitar TPI Kali Wasai dapat menunjukkan bahwa kualitas lingkungan perairan di Kepulauan Raja Ampat masih baik untuk ikan-ikan laut dan air payau hidup.

The characteristict of fishing in the Waters of Raja Ampat Islands can be qualified by evaluating the charateristict of fish species at the fish market (Tempat Penjualan Ikan/TPI) such as TPI Kali Waisai, Raja Ampat Regency. The study aimed to determine fish species those were sold at the TPI Kali Waisai and to determine which fish species dominated in number at that TPI. The study was conducted at the TPI Kali Waisai, Raja Ampat Regency from Juli to September 2013. The results show that there were 39 species composed of 18 familia. Those familia were Carangidae, Lutjanidae Scombridae, Siganidae, Clupidae, Caesionidae, Leiognatidae, Serranidae, Hamulidae. Scaridae, Kyphosidae, Belonidae, Exocoetidae, Lethrinidae, Nepiteridae, Mullidae, Sphyraenidae, Mugilidae. The number of species and familia were not as high as reported before for Raja Ampat fish, due to southern moonson wind that hampers fishermen to caught fish at the same time of fish sampling. Among fishes listed at the TPI, there were fishes that have economic value. The most dominant fish in number were famili Carangidae (6 species or 15.38% of total fish number). Most Raja Ampat Waters habitats were represented in the fish habitats at the TPI indicate that the quality of water environment of the Waters of Raja Ampat Island is in the good condition.
