Reef fish resources hold significant ecological and economic value, yet they are vulnerable to pressure from the use of unsustainable fishing gear. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a combined artificial reef fish trap compared to conventional traps in catching reef fish, as well as to evaluate the fish community structure based on diversity, evenness, and dominance indices. The research was conducted in the waters of Malalayang Satu, Manado Bay, in February 2026, employing an experimental method with two treatments: conventional traps and combined artificial reef traps. Observations were made on the number of species, number of individuals, and catch biomass. Data were analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), evenness index (E), and dominance index (C). The results showed that 16 fish species from 10 families were caught. Diversity values were categorized as moderate for both conventional traps (H' = 2.08) and combined traps (H' = 1.50), with low dominance indices across both treatments. Although the number of species caught in the combined traps was lower, this treatment yielded a higher number of individuals and biomass compared to conventional traps. The findings indicate that the combined artificial reef fish trap has the potential to enhance reef fish catch effectiveness and can be developed as an eco-friendly fishing gear alternative to support sustainable fisheries management in coastal areas.
