Abstract


The  aims of this study are determine the composition of the length and abundance of glass eel Anguilla spp that migrates at the mouth of the Poigar River. Sampling is done every month for four months in the new moon phase. Sampling site on one side of the Poigar River estuary, by making a 10 meter track in the direction of the river flow. The fishing gear used is a triangle-shaped handy scoop net with a length of 100 cm and a width of 75 cm. The catch of Glass eel eel for four months (from April to July 2018) as many as 3,551 individuals. Average length (± SD) in April was 44.4 ± 1.4 cm, May 48.7 ± 1.6 cm, June 51.1 ± 2.0 cm and July 51.1 ± 2.4 cm. The highest number of catches in May was 1,841 individuals, followed by June 785, July 860 individuals and April as many as 55 individuals. The average density of eels in April, Mai, June and July 2018 migrating in the sampling area of 10 x 0.7 meters is 1,160 individuals.

Keywords: glass eel, size, abundance, Poigar River.
