Growth patterns and condition factors of the bungo fish, Glossogobius giuris (Buchanan, 1822) in Sidenreng Lake waters, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi

Abstract

Abstract Bungo fish is one of the potential fishery resources in Sidenreng Regency, which has decreased due to continuous fishing. Therefore, information on fisheries biology is needed to support the management of Bungo fish resources to create sustainable fishing. This study aims to analyze the growth patterns and condition factors of Bungo fish based on gender, observation time, and gonad maturity level. The use of this research as a source of information on the management of Bungo fish, especially in Lake Sidenreng. This research was conducted for three months, from September to November 2020. Sampling was obtained from 2 Bungo fishers in Sidenreng Lake, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi. The number of bungo fish samples obtained during the study was 235, consisting of 163 male Bungo fish and 72 female Bungo fish. Based on the results of research that has been done, the growth pattern of male and female Bungo fish is negative allometric; namely, the increase in body length is faster than the increase in body weight of the fish. The condition factors of male and female Bungo Fish are classified as fish in good condition. The condition factor of bungo fish. Based on the sampling time, male and female Bungo fish in November and September were classified as flat or plump fish, while in October, male and female Bungo fish were classified as flat or not fat. Gonad maturity of male fish has a relatively smaller average condition factor than female fish at the same gonad maturity. The condition factors of male and female Bungo Fish are classified as fish in good condition. The condition factor of bungo fish.
