Web-Based Fisheries Information System Engineering

Abstract

Fish resources have limit, although could be recovery, but natural ability to recovery is limited. If human explore fish resources continuously, surpass ability to recovery then fish resources to recovery needed long time, so that fish resources have decrease, even extinction. Hopefully fish resources still existence, needed accurate data and manage of fish catches, so we have information about fish catches as database. Information availability about fish is one factor support to fish resources management. The purpose of this thesis is designing web information system to manage fish catches from TPI (First Point of The Collected Fish), with scope of calculation to prediction potential fish (MSY) and fishing effort capacity (Fopt). By analyzing relation fishing effort with catch per unit effort. While development method system use waterfall model, because on the waterfall model system to be finished first, if need be corrected repeat from beginning. Web based fisheries made with php language, mysql database, equipped sms gateway gammu 2.5 version. Input data of fishing every day from TPI (First Point of The Collected Fish). System will be count automatically data every month and show in the web. Consist of production, fishing gear each trip, production of fishing gear, catch per unit effort and MSY graphic. When the condition Trip <= Fopt and Production <MSY are met the system will send an SMS (short message service) that waters in underfishing condition, if not met the system will send an SMS (short message service) that the waters in overfishing.
