Fish collection using experimental gillnets (with different mesh sizes ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 3, and 4 inch) and seser (Ø 1 meter and mesh size 0.04 inch). During research, 45 species of 30 families were collected. Based on individual quantities, at the first sampling, Sardinella fimbriata was dominant species on Station I and II, S. longiceps on Station III; in the second sampling, S. fimbriata was dominant species on Station I, S. longiceps on Station II, Plotosus canius on S3; in the third sampling, Ambassis sp. was dominant species on Station I, S.longiceps on Station II, Upeneus suphureus and Stolephorus commersonii on S3. Diversity index (H’) was range between 0.51-2.25, dominance index (C) was range between 0.16-0.83 and evenness index (E) was range between 0.19-0.75.
