Skipjack tuna is one of the most important economical fish and is found in almost
all Indonesian waters. The skipjack tuna fishing ground in Southeast Sulawesi located around
of Minui island waters and western waters of Banda sea. The purpose of this research is to
analyze sea surface temperature at location fishing ground skipjack tuna using satellite data
of Aqua MODIS then mapping of location points fishing ground. The study was conducted for
three months, from May to July 2014. Recording of fishing ground positions is performed on
every fishing operation using GPS. The results showed that around of skipjack fishing ground
found the highest SST in May with a temperature of 31.64°C and the lowest in June with a
temperature of 25°C. The highest CPUE was obtained on June 13, 2014, with a total of 101
tail with an average temperature of 27.59°C while CPUE occurred on June 13, 2014, with a
total of 72 tails with an average temperature of 26.45°C. From results of tracking of fishing
ground shows skipjack tuna fishermen in every fishing operation actually has a fishing
orientation based on the existence of fish and from the experience of conducting fishing
operations in the area that has been done continuously.
