This study aims to 1) Know the zoning of the fishing line operation area based on the waters of Jayapura City; 2) Knowing the composition of the catch (type and amount) and 3) knowing the abundance, diversity and uniformity of fish caught by hand line fishermen. This research was conducted in April-June 2023 in the waters of Jayapura City, data collection used the observation method; Interview and Documentation.
