Abstract

Groups of people living along the coastal area of Kebumen Regency work as fishermen, with banana shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis) as one of their major catches. This field research analyzed the level of utilization of banana shrimp on the coast of Kebumen Regency from October to December 2024. In this research, the biological characteristics of banana shrimp that affect the growth and length infinity (L∞) of the shrimp were examined. Furthermore, the mortality and exploitation level of banana shrimp on the coast of Kebumen were also analyzed. The findings indicate that the initial size of banana shrimp at first capture was 6.8 cm carapace length (CL), with the length infinity of 12.08 cm CL. Meanwhile, the highest recruitment of banana shrimp occurred in May. The exploitation level of 0.19 indicates that the utilization of banana shrimp in the area is within the under-exploited category.
