The Difference of Traditional Fishing Boats in Blimbing and Brondong Sub-districts, Lamongan, Indonesia

There are 17 fisherman's offices in Lamongan regency whose record the data of traditional fishing boats. However, there are only two fisherman's offices whom very active, i.e.: Blimbing and Brondong sub-districts. Blimbing has the data of 394 traditional boats while Brondong has 207 ones. In this study, we compare the Gross Tonnage-Size of traditional boats, the type of fish catching tools, and the frequency distributive between the two sub-districts. The results show that the mean of GT-size in Blimbing and Brondong is 15 GT and 10 GT respectively. The Pareto charts show that more than 50% in Blimbing used trawl while more than 60% in Brondong used fishing rods. We did the hypothesis test for the mean of GT-Size. The results of hypothesis show that there are differences of mean between the two sub-districts. Subsequently, we create the frequency distributive in each district. By this study, it is expected that the data extraction of traditional boats in Blimbing and Brondong gives a comprehensive description and understanding for the standardization of traditional fishing boats.
