Abstract

Fisherman’s exchange rate (FER) is one of the main performance indicators of the Ministry of
Marine Affairs and Fisheries to measure the level of fishermen’s welfare. Hand-line fishing is a fishing tool that is widely operated by Karimunjawa fishermen. Hand-line fishing business operators in the Karimunjawa Islands have different socio-economic conditions. The amount of fishermen’s income will affect the purchasing power of fishing households and the level of welfare of fishing households. This study aims to examine the level of welfare of hand-line fishermen’s households based on the FER and analyze the factors that influence the level of welfare of hand-line fishermen in the Karimunjawa Islands.
The method used in this research is descriptive survey, through interviews with questionnaires.
Determining research respondents used purposive and snowball sampling. The number of research respondents was 160 hand-line fishermen who operate fishing gear in Karimunjawa waters. The data analysis method uses the FER formula and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the research show that the majority (97.5%) of respondents from hand-line fishermen have a fairly good level of welfare with an FER value > 1. There are 4 variables that partially influence the level of welfare of hand-line fishermen in the Karimunjawa Islands, namely the household expenditure variable (X1), fishing expenses (X2), capture fisheries income (X5) and non-capture fisheries income (X6).
