Abstract
The
tendency to fulfill the export necessity was indicated by the catching of grouper
fish without paying attention to the balance between biological and economical conditions.
This study aimed to estimate and analyse the actual production and optimal
production management regime of dynamic bioeconomic resource of tiger grouper fish
in the district of Selayar Island. The respondents were selected in Gusung
Island from 3 different villages: Bontolebang, Kahu-Kahu and Bontoborusu. The
location was deliberately determined due the reason that the fisherman in those
locations catch coral fish particularly tige grouper. The sample was selected
on purpose 10% of the population: 82 out of 816 people. The data collected
include the average production (the catch), the catch operational cost, revenue,
number of trip, number of seasons, fishing ground, and the fishing effort. The
data were analysed with dynamic bio-economic analysis using MS. Excel and Maple 18 software. The result
indicates that the actual production of tiger grouper fish in Selayar Island District
exceeds the optimal production. The production recommended on the OSY rate was
35.20 tons. The management effort should be put in priority to protect tiger
grouper population in the wild.
