KAPASITAS PERIKANAN PUKAT CINCIN DI PERAIRAN KECAMATAN WARU KABUPATEN PENAJAM PASER UTARA

Abstract

The study aims to determine the capacity level of purse seine fisheries at Waru waters, Paser Penajam Utara Regency.  This research was conducted from December 2017 to January 2018. Data analysis was done by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with variable retum to scale (VRS) model. The data analyzed is (1) the efficiency value between purse seine with single output and multi output approach, (2) variable value of input utilization (VIU) with single output and multi output approach, and (3) potential improvements in the single and multi-output approach. The data was collected from interviews with businessmen, captain and crew members. The results showed that by single output approach analysis, there were 4 units of ships that have CU (capacity utilization) = 1, while 11 ships have a value of CU< 1. Whilst by the multi-output approach analysis, there were 8 ships with CU = 1 and 7 ships have value of CU <1. Meanwhile, the distribution value of the input variable with the single output or multi output approach was not optimal with an average value <1. The analysis of potential improvements in the single output showed the potential for an average improvement around 38% by monitoring fuel consumption. Multi output approach has improvement potential by reducing the number of crew members.
