This study aims to determine the perceptions of gillnet fishermen regarding the conservation status of S lewini and R australiae during their release and capture in marine protected area (KKPD TP). This study was conducted between February and June 2024 in Aceh Jaya regency by taking 37 respondent from three villages, viz; Lhok Patek 13 respondents, Lhok Keluang Daya 13 respondents and Lhok Rigah 11 respondents).
