Abstract:
This research aimed to determine 1) characteristic of fisheries resources in Bengkalis Regency, 2) potention of fisheries resources in Bengkalis Regency. This research analyzed by Waters Ecology Analysis, Shift Share Analysis, Location Quotient (LQ) Analysis, Institutional Analysis and Bioeconomic Analysis. The result showed that waters ecology condition in Bengkalis had some support waters condition (according physic and chemical parameters) and degradation waters condition that was out of water’s quality standar. According to economic aspect by LQ and SS analysis, fisheries sector had high contribution to regional economic so that fisheries development gave public welfare opportunity, but degradation condition like overfishing became serious treatment that was to be concered for development and management sector.

Bioeconomic analysis result of Parang-parang showed that was overfishing 263%. Natural growth level of Parang-parang was 1,142, capture capacity coefisien was 0,0000002721 and carrying capacity coefisien was 168.882,96. Bioeconomic analysis result of Kurau was overfishing 33,42%. Natural growth level of Kurau was 0,614, capture capacity coefficientwas 0,00000020 and carrying capacity coefficientwas 28.820. Fisheries management policy of this economic resources had better used MEY regime.
