Catching investigation of yellowfin tuna (

The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution of chlorophyll-a on the catch of yellowfin tuna in the northern waters of Aceh. This research was conducted in the north of Aceh waters starting from November to December 2020. fish catch data was collected by direct survey in the field by following the activities of fishermen and recording the number of catches. Data on chlorophyll-a was obtained from Aqua Modis satellite imagery. The catch data analysis used the CPUE model, while the chlorophyll-a analysis was carried out using the SeaDas 7.5 and ArcGIS. The results showed that the catch of yellowfin tuna was higher in November than in December as well as the distribution of chlorophyll-a content. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) is 0.09, which means that the relationship between chlorophyll-a and yellowfin tuna catches is only 9%, while 91% is influenced by other factors. These results inform that the content of chlorophyll-a does not show a significant relationship to the catch of yellowfin tuna
