Fisheries

Fishing boats have different characteristics compared to other types. The construction of a boat must be following the rules of naval architecture. This is shown to provide the boat's capability by its designation. However, the construction of fishing boats in Indonesia is often carried out in traditional shipyards that have not implemented naval architecture rules, one of which is handline fishing boats built in the Lamongan Regency. To assess the characteristics of the boat, the purpose of this research is to obtain the value of the main dimension ratio. The main dimension ratio data is then compared with a pre-existing reference value. The results showed that the main dimension ratio on handline fishing boats in Lamongan Regency was included in the range of the main dimension ratio values in the reference. Based on the comparison between the shapes of handline fishing boats in Lamongan Regency in general, Ijon-ijon and perau have a larger breadth and depth than etek. These differences can show different characteristics compared to other types of static gear fishing boats in general.
