Nelayan pancing ulur di pangkalan pendaratan ikan (ppi) ujung baroh, kabupaten aceh barat menghadapi kondisi hasil tangkapan yang melimpah, tetapi pendapatan yang diperoleh tidak sebanding. hal ini dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi harga ikan, tingginya biaya operasional, serta jumlah anak buah kapal (abk) yang berbeda pada setiap trip. penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pendapatan nelayan. penelitian dilakukan pada januari–februari 2025 dengan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif. data primer diperoleh dari wawancara dengan 50 nelayan pancing ulur, sedangkan data sekunder dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur. analisis regresi linear berganda digunakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh hasil tangkapan, biaya operasional, jumlah abk, dan harga ikan terhadap pendapatan nelayan. hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan keempat variabel berpengaruh signifikan dengan adjusted r² sebesar 92,9%. secara parsial, hasil tangkapan dan jumlah abk signifikan, sedangkan biaya operasional dan harga ikan tidak signifikan. dengan demikian, peningkatan pendapatan nelayan lebih ditentukan oleh jumlah hasil tangkapan dan ketersediaan tenaga kerja.

Handline fishermen at the Ujung Baroh Fish Landing Base (PPI), West Aceh Regency, often face a situation where abundant catches do not correspond with the income earned. This condition is influenced by fluctuating fish prices, high operational costs, and variations in the number of crew members (ABK) on each fishing trip. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting fishermen’s income. The research was conducted in January–February 2025 using a quantitative descriptive approach. Primary data were collected through interviews with 50 handline fishermen, while secondary data were obtained from literature studies. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to examine the influence of catch volume, operational costs, crew size, and fish prices on fishermen’s income. The results showed that simultaneously all four variables significantly affect fishermen’s income with an Adjusted R² of 92.9%. Partially, catch volume and crew size had significant effects, while operational costs and fish prices were not significant. Therefore, the improvement of fishermen’s income is more determined by the amount of catch and the availability of adequate labor.
