Fisheries, Marketing Management

Governance and managerial will determine the level of work effectiveness in a business group. Good governance and management are also needed by every work business unit as in the fishery business. Auction Place (TPI) is a form of business that acts as an intermediary between fishermen and various potential buyers in marketing their catch. Good governance and management in a TPI will increase the effectiveness of the flow of money which has a positive impact on the capture fisheries business flow. This study was conducted to analyze the managerial and governance systems contained in TPI Minasari, Pangandaran Regency. The TPI is one of the largest auction sites in Pangandaran Regency which has successfully marketed various fishermen's catches and contributed a fairly large retribution for Pangandaran Regency. The research was conducted using direct observation method to find out managerial and governance at TPI Minasari. In addition, interviews were also conducted with several respondents who were divided into groups of fishermen as sellers and several potential buyers. The interview was conducted to determine the perspective of fishermen and prospective buyers' assessment of managerial and governance that has taken place at TPI Minasari. The results of observations and interviews show that managerial and governance at TPI Minasari has gone well and is considered quite effective as a liaison for sales activities between fishermen and various prospective buyers. However, there are several notes given by fishermen and potential buyers regarding the facilities and infrastructure that are still inadequate at TPI Minasari. The facilities in question are containers for placing the catch used during the auction process, as well as ice making facilities needed to maintain the quality of the speckled shrimp catch so that it does not rot quickly before the auction process begins until the handover is carried out between the fishermen and the buyer.
