The research aims to assess the bycatch status and ecological significance of mobulid rays in Banyuwangi's fisheries.
Collected daily landing records and conducted direct observations over one year.
Performed interviews with 45 fishers, 4 collectors, and local government representatives.
Applied Socio-Ecological Network Analysis and Generalized Linear Models to analyze data.
Mobulid rays made up 23.98% of the total biomass caught by gillnet fishers.
High degree values in the Socio-Ecological Network Analysis indicated strong connections among rays, fishers, and fishing activities.
A significant correlation (0.7664) was found between mobulid ray prices and bycatch, particularly when target fish were less available.
