Abstraction. This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges faced by
the fisheries sub-sector in supporting the economy of Banten Province through a
study of the development of the fisheries sub-sector, both capture and aquaculture,
and the factors that influence it. The analytical method used in this research is
multiple linear regression. The estimation results show that the number of outboard
motorboats and motorboats has a significant positive effect on capture fisheries
production in Banten Province. This can be an opportunity to increase capture
fisheries production that can support the economy of Banten Province. On the
contrary, There are indications of overfishing in shallow waters which are marked by
the insignificant effect of increasing the number of boats without motors on capture
fisheries production, which is a challenge for the capture fisheries sub-sector in
supporting the economy of Banten Province. Then, there is an indication of the lack
of expertise of fish cultivators which is marked by the negative effect of increasing
the number of fish cultivators on aquaculture production and the less productive
area of fish farming land which is marked by the insignificant effect of adding fish
cultivation area to aquaculture production, which is a challenge for the aquaculture
sub-sector in supporting the economy. Banten Province.

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges of fisheries
subsector in supporting the economy of Banten Province through studying the
growth of fisheries subsector, either capture fisheries or aquaculture and the
influenced factors. This study uses multiple regression. This study found that the
number of outboard motor and inboard motorboat significantly give positive
influence to the production of capture fisheries in Banten Province. It can be the
opportunity to increase the production of capture fisheries that can support the
economy of Banten Province. On the other hand, the indication of overfishing in
shallow water showed by the insignificance of nonpowered motorboat number to
influent the production of capture fisheries becomes the challenge of capture
fisheries in supporting the economy of Banten Province. then,

PRELIMINARY
Banten Province is one of the
provinces on the island of Java which
was formed in 2000 and the result of
the division of West Java Province. As
one of the provinces resulting from
the division and coupled with the
demands for regional autonomy in
which each region is responsible for
the development of its own region,
this province has intensively carried
out regional development.
Basuki & Gayatri (2009)
said that economic development is
part of the overall regional
development. The success of a
region's economic development can
be seen from changes in the Gross
Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) or
regional economic growth. Based on
data from the Central Statistics
Agency (BPS), the economic growth of
Banten Province was 5.71 percent in
2017. This economic growth of
Banten Province cannot be separated
from the role of productive economic
sectors and sub-sectors in the region.
Subsector fishery is
one of the sub-sectors that can be a
foundation in supporting the economy
of Banten Province. Banten has a land
area of 8,651.20 km2which is
surrounded by three large oceans,
namely the Java Sea in the north, the
Sunda Strait in the west, and the Indian
Sea in the south. In addition, Banten
Province has coastal and marine areas
with an area of 11,134.22 km . of
water2(not including archipelago/
territorial waters and ZEEI that can be
utilized). Province coastline
Banten is 509 km long and has 55 small
and outer islands that store the
richness and diversity of coastal and
marine resources. In addition, the
location of the Banten Province is very
strategically bordering the state capital
and as a bridge or gate between the
islands of Java and Sumatra, thus
facilitating the marketing of fishery
products. Based on data from the
Central Statistics Agency (BPS), share
Fisheries sub-sector GRDP
of the total GRDP of Banten Province
by 0.54 percent in 2017.
The development of the fisheries
sub-sector in areas of fishery potential such
as Banten Province needs to be carried out.
Besides being able to support the economy
of Banten Province, this sub-sector plays a
role in meeting the food and nutritional
needs of the community. However, in its
development the fisheries sector is faced
with various opportunities and challenges.
The demand for fish certainly has a
positive meaning for the development of
fisheries. However, the demand for
fulfilling fish needs will be followed by
increasingly intensive exploitation of fish
resources. In order for fish resources to
be utilized sustainably, one of the steps
that can be taken is to conduct an
assessment of fishery stock/production
to determine the sustainable potential
and the best efforts to increase fishery
production.
The new production process can
run if the required requirements can be
met and these requirements are better
known as factors of production (Daniel,
2002). In capture fisheries, the minimum
required production factors consist of:

other hand, the results of research
conducted by Rizwan, Ichsan, and

(2018) show that: that fleet
fishing does not significantly affect
fish production.
In addition to capture fisheries,
aquaculture also plays an important
role in supporting the economy of a
region. Aquaculture is an alternative
way for the depletion of fish
production from capture fisheries.
Development production results
Aquaculture cannot be separated from the
availability of fish cultivation areas and the
existence of the cultivators themselves. As
the results of Widyatama's research (2013)
show that the area of fish cultivation and
the number of cultivators significantly have
a positive effect on aquaculture production.
Based on the above thinking, a
study is needed to identify the
opportunities and challenges of the
fisheries sub-sector in supporting the
economy of Banten Province. The benefit
of this study is that it can be used as
material for government consideration in
making policies related to the
development of the fisheries sub-sector
in order to continue to be able to support
the economy of Banten Province.
There are two hypotheses used in
this study.First, the number of motor
boats, outboard motor boats, and boats
without motors has a positive effect on
capture fisheries production in Banten
Province.Second, the area of fish
cultivation and the number of farmers
have a positive effect on the production
of aquaculture in Banten Province.

Fisheries Subsector Opportunities and

Optimizing the use of production can

increase fishery production. According to
Dumairy (1999), the orientation of the
fisheries sub-sector is different from the
other four sub-sectors in the agricultural
sector. In addition to meeting
consumption needs, the fisheries sub-
sector is more oriented towards export
promotion. This increase in fishery
production and exports, of course, can
increase the economic growth of the
fisheries sub-sector.
ScoreR2in the capture fisheries
production equation is 0.6751. This
means that the variation that occurs in
capture fisheries production can be
explained by the number of motor
boats, outboard motor boats, and
boats without motors by 67.51 percent
while the remaining 32.49 percent is
explained by other variables not
included in the model.
Overall, the number of motorized
boats, outboard motorboats, and non-
motorized boats significantly affects
the production of capture fisheries in
Banten Province. This is indicated by
the value of the test probabilityF-
statistics of 0.0017 which is smaller

coefficient. On the other hand, the
number of boats without motors does
not significantly affect capture fisheries
production in Banten Province. This is
indicated by the value of the test

thanalpha 0.10
For support utilization
The potential for capture fisheries
requires adequate facilities and
infrastructure. The effect of adding
motor boats has a big impact on
increasing capture fisheries
production in Banten Province. The
coefficient value of the number of
motor boats of 5.01 means that with
a confidence level of 95 percent, the
addition of 1 unit of motorized boats
can increase capture fisheries
production by 5.01 tons. The addition
of a motor boat can expand the reach
of fishermen to catch fish because the
range is wider than using a boat.
However, there are still few
fishermen who use motor boats

Aceh Jaya District. The growth coefficient
value of the number of outboard
motorboats is 5.48 which means that
with a 90 percent confidence level, the
growth in the number of outboard
motorboats by 1 unit can increase
capture fisheries production by 5.48 tons.
The significance level of the coefficient of
the number of motorboats is smaller
than that of motorboats. This is because
the fishing path that is passed by
outboard motor boats is no more than 6
miles. The fishing area that lacks fish
resources in the area causes the catch
obtained to be also small. The results of
this study are similar to the results of
research conducted by Dwihendrosono
(2009) and Widayatama (2013).
The development of the number
of boats without motors does not
significantly affect the development
of capture fisheries production. This
is because the range of boats without
motors is only in shallow waters. The
short reach of motorized boats
causes fishermen to gather in the
same fishing area. This causes the

By increasing the number of motor

Employment opportunities in other sectors,
such as the boat/shipbuilding industry can

for boats/ships.
The challenge faced by capture
fisheries in Banten Province is the
increase in the number of boats

significantly affect the increase in
capture fishery production. This is
exacerbated by the depletion of fish
resources in shallow waters (coastal).

The interest of fishermen in catching

use of trawls. This threatens the
sustainability of fish resources and
reduces fish production in the future.

the fisheries sector is controlled by
marine fisheries and is experiencing
obstacles in the development of its
production due to the lack of adequate
facilities. This can be seen from the
structure of the fishing fleet in Banten
Province which is still dominated by small
vessels, upstream and downstream
production systems that are not yet
integrated, and the limited facilities and
infrastructure built. The development of
the fleet is also hindered by the small
number of motor boat manufacturing
industries in Banten Province. Thus,
fishermen are forced to buy motor boats
from outside the province of Banten. Not
only ordering time or shipbuilding takes
longer but also the cost is relatively more
expensive.
ScoreR2in the aquaculture
production equation is 0.6840. This
means that the variation that occurs in
aquaculture production can be explained
by the area of fish cultivation and the
number of fish cultivators by 68.40
percent while the rest is
31.60 percent is explained by other variables
that are not included in the model.
Overall, the area of fish cultivation
and the number of fish cultivators
significantly affect the production of
aquaculture in Banten Province. This is
indicated by the value of the test

smaller thanalpha0.05.

on aquaculture production in Banten
Province. This is indicated by the value

hand, the area of fish cultivation does
not significantly affect the production
of aquaculture in Indonesia
Banten Province. This is indicated by the
value of the test probabilityt-statistics
which is bigger thanalpha0.05.
The coefficient value of the number of
fish cultivators is -4.68 which means that
the addition of the number of fish
cultivators actually decreases the
production of aquaculture. The direction of
the negative relationship between the
number of fish cultivators and the amount
of aquaculture production is contrary to
the results of Widayatama's (2013)
research. One of the causes of the negative
effect of increasing the number of fish
farmers on aquaculture production is the
lack of cultivator expertise both in terms of
managerial and production techniques in
the management of fish farming business.
This is a challenge for the fisheries sub-
sector, especially aquaculture in supporting
the economy of Banten Province.
Another challenge faced by
aquaculture in Banten Province is the
utilization of aquaculture potential
which is still low (less productive).
This can be seen from the negative
sign and the insignificant coefficient
of the area of fish cultivation. In fact,
Banten has great potential for the
development of aquaculture.
CONCLUSION
The number of motor boats and
outboard motorboats has a positive
effect on capture fisheries
production. This is an opportunity to
increase the production of marine
capture fisheries in Banten Province
by increasing the number of motor
boats and outboard motor boats. To
increase capture fisheries production,
the Banten provincial government
also needs to encourage investors to
