A study was conducted in Bintulu waters in 2017 and 2018 focusing on the gear and fishing operation of Stick Held Cast Net (SHCN). The fishing activities carried out during night time by
using a mercury lamp. The highest total catch was observed in Operation 9 with 600 kg of total catch whilst the least catch was in Operation 2 due to fishing location and the season. In addition, the light intensity between the operations (2017 and 2018) were slightly different where high light intensity was observed in 2017. Furthermore, it was found out that there is no significant difference in total catch with light intensity as shown in OP 1 - OP9. However, higher light intensity may affect the amount of species attracted, where by in 2017 more species were observed compared to 2018. The dominant species caught included Loligo sumatrensis, Loligo beka, Latigo chinensis, Decapterus macrosoma, Dussumieria elopsoides, Dussumieria acuta and Amblygaster sirm, where the Latigo sp. was appeared in every operation. As a conclusion, this gear is one of a great alternative in operating pelagic fishing activities to increase the catch in the EEZ Sarawak.
