Application of Mathematical Model in Bioeconomic Analysis of Skipjack Fish in Pelabuhanratu, Sukabumi Regency, Jawa Barat

Abstract

Presently, sustainability has emerged as a crucial and compelling concern across diverse sectors, evolving into a long-term agenda championed by the United Nations through the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Within the SDGs, particularly under point 14 addressing life below water, emphasis is placed on ensuring sustainability in aquatic ecosystems, encompassing the fisheries sector. The concept of Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) holds significance in the bioeconomic analysis of fisheries, influencing decision-making processes aimed at preserving sustainability. Regrettably, several studies have identified inaccuracies in the determination of MSY, leading to instances of overfishing in various regions. Conversely, it is imperative to give due attention to Maximum Economic Yield (MEY) to ensure that economic considerations remain integral to decision-making processes. Consequently, a more comprehensive and detailed bioeconomic analysis, incorporating mathematical models, becomes essential. Among these models, the logistic growth rate model and the Gompertz growth rate model stand out as significant contributors.
