Authors
Abstract
The latest obstacle that must be faced by fishermen is the condition of the Covid-19 pandemic. The fishermen and perpetrators of fishing effort already suffered losses. This agrees with (Directorate credit, BPR and UMKM, 2008) that the peak season for fish catches usually occurs at July to December, the rest is when the fish is quiet (famine). Before the COVID-19 pandemic fishermen’s income has started to decline from December 2019 to February 2020 amounting to -11% to -34%. This means that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, fishermen’s income had fluctuated decreased to -34%.This is because the fishing process is still ongoing while the market demand has fallen considerably. This condition causes a very significant decrease in fishermen’s income due to the fish catch that cannot be sold. This loss is felt both by small fishermen and large fishermen.
