ABSTRACT

The yellowtail scad, Atule mate, forms important fisheries throughout the Indo-Pacific region. To know about the stock status of A. mate in Malaysia, various population parameters were measured, by utilizing length-frequency data, that included asymptotic length (L∞), growth coefficient (K), mortality rates (Z, F and M), exploitation level (E) and recruitment pattern of this species from Marudu Bay, Sabah, Malaysia. Total length and body weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.007TL3.148 (R2 = 0.937). The asymptotic length (L∞) and growth coefficient (K) were estimated 27.80 cm and 1.50 yr−1, respectively. Total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) were found to be 4.53, 2.46 and 2.07 yr−1, respectively. The exploitation level (E) was estimated 0.46. It was showed that the recruitment pattern was continuous with two major peaks per year. Relative yield per recruit predicted a maximum exploitation rate (Emax) which was 0.55. The current E value (0.46) is lower than the optimum exploitation (E = 0.50) as well predicted Emax. Therefore, it could be concluded that stock of A. mate in the investigated area of Marudu Bay, Sabah is under exploited.

ABSTRAK

Ikan selar biasa, Atule mate, memainkan peranan penting bagi perikanan di seluruh kawasan Indo-Pasifik. Untuk mengetahui tentang status stok A. mate di Malaysia, pelbagai parameter populasi diukur dengan menggunakan data kekerapan panjang termasuk panjang asimtotik (L∞), pekali tumbesaran (K), kadar kematian (Z, F dan M), tahap eksploitasi (E) dan corak pembiakan spesies ini dari Teluk Marudu, Sabah, Malaysia. Hubungan antara jumlah panjang dan berat badan dianggarkan sebagai W= 0.007TL3.148 (R2 = 0.937). Panjang asimtotik (L∞) dan pekali tumbesaran (K) dianggarkan secara berturutan sebanyak 27.80 cm dan 1.50 yr−1. Jumlah kematian (Z), kematian semula jadi (M) dan kematian tangkapan (F) secara berturutan untuk A. mate adalah 4.53, 2.46 dan 2.07 yr−1. Tahap eksploitasi ikan ini (E) adalah 0.46. Terdapat pembiakan berterusan bagi A. mate, tetapi dengan dua kejadian besar bagi setiap tahun. Analisis hasil tangkapan bagi setiap pembiakan meramalkan kadar eksploitasi maksimum (Emax) adalah 0.55. Nilai E terkini (0.46) adalah lebih rendah daripada eksploitasi optimum (E = 0.50) dan juga ramalan Emax. Oleh yang demikian, ini menunjukkan bahawa stok A. mate yang dikaji di Teluk Marudu, Sabah, adalah di bawah tahap eksploitasi.
