Analyses were conducted for a seven-year period (January 2015-December 2021), which included the El Niño (2015) and La Niña (2021) events. A higher CPUE value is obtained in 2021 when La Niña occurs with a CPUE value of 3973 kg/trip, compared to the El Niño event. Based on seasonal variations, the highest catch was recorded during the northwest monsoon (706.02 kg/trip) with 2789 fishing points, while the lowest occurred during the southeast monsoon (700 kg/trip) with 2942 fishing points. The CPUE was 16.25 kg/trip with 1133 fishing points during El Niño and 23.56 kg/trip with 1027 fishing points during La Niña, respectively. The fishing grounds area was wider during the La Niña period, at 2 - 8°S and 115 - 120°E. This study revealed a strong impact of the La Niña events, significantly increasing Eastern Little Tuna catch in the MS. ## Keywords - Tuna - Fishing - El Niño Southern Oscillation - Sea surface temperature - Fishery - La Niña - Oceanography - Geography - Monsoon - Environmental science - Climatology - Biology - Fish - Geology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
