Abstract
Kerosene pressure lamps used in stationary lift nets in Sungsang Estuary South Sumatra as a tool for catching anchovies. The high price of kerosene is the main considerations for conducting research to find a replacement of kerosene pressure lamps. The purpose of the study were 1) analyze the characteristics of catchment in stationary lift nets using kerosene pressure lamps and LED lights, and 2) analyze differences catches in stationary lift nets using kerosene pressure lamps and LED lights. The research was conducted on new moon (dark condition) in July 2013 by experimental method in stationary lift nets that using kerosene pressure lamps and LED lights. Both of them operated 4 times in each trip. The results of this study indicated that the use of kerosene pressure lamps and LED lights not statistically significantly different for the anchovy, squid, other fishes catches, and total catch. Thus technically, LED light can be used as a substitute for kerosene pressure lamps in stationary lift nets.
