| dc.description.abstract | Strait of Malacca is a strait that located between the Peninsula of Malaysia
(Thailand,Malaysia,Singapore) and the island of Sumatera (Indonesia). The strait
of Malacca linked between the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian
Ocean in the west. The factors of abundance fish is Sea Surface Temperature
(SST) and chlorophyll-a concentrations, to get the value of SST and chlorophyll-a
concentrations of satellite imagery Aqua’s Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The data of pelagic tuna (Euthynnus sp.)obtained
from the Fishing Port Ocean in Belawan. The monthly average of SST in the
Malacca Strait from Aqua MODIS satellite imagery in 2009 – 2014 range
between 28,9°C– 32,29°C. The SST of Malacca Strait is following of the wind
pattern that occurred in Indonesian waters. The highest catches of pelagic tuna
occurred in the 1st Transitional season and in the east season with a temperature
range of 30°C - 32°C. It may be indicate that the temperature is suitable for
catching the pelagic tuna in the Malacca strait at the 1st Transitional season
(March – May) and in the east season (June – August). The concentration of
chlorophyll-a in the research area of Aqua MODIS satellite imagery in 2009 –
2014 ranged between 0,59 – 1,89 mg/m3. The west season is the most dominating
of the chlorophyll-a concentration around 1,89mg/m3. | en_US |
