Description
Summary:The UFLPlus technology is an innovative underwater fish lamp equipped with Closed Circut Television (CCTV). UFLPlus can enhance catch productivity by 41% and reduce fishing time, achieving an operational efficiency improvement of up to 33% in a single night. This innovation provides an effective and sustainable solution for lift net fisheries operating from boats. Boat lift net fishing methods often face challenges related to long fishing times, even when using submerged lamps as auxiliary tools. UFLPlus technology, with its optimal lighting system and integrated CCTV or image sensing. This study aims to evaluates the effectiveness of UFLPlus in improving the productivity of boat lift net fisheries by focusing on two key aspects: fishing time and productivity. It also compares UFLPlus with traditional underwater lamps without CCTV. Furthermore, it demonstrates that UFLPlus can significantly improve fishing time efficiency. The research was conducted in August 2024 in the boat lift net fishing grounds around Hari Island, South Konawe Regency, utilizing an experimental fishing method.
