This research was conducted in October 2021-January 2022 located on the coastline of Parak Village, Bonto Manai District, Selayar Islands Regency. The method used in this study is a case study. Primary data collection is obtained directly by following, recording, identifying from the results of observations on the composition of types and comparisons of catches. During the study obtained 30 data. The data collected is the number of catches when using peperek fish bait and when using boiler chicken skin bait. The total number of catches when using peperek fish bait was 148 and the total number of catches when using boiler chicken skin bait was 123 consisting of 3 groups of catches, namely gastropods, fish and crustaceans. The composition of the most types when using peperek fish baits is Nassarius crematus as much as 31% and Nassarius coronatus 28% while the highest composition when using boiler chicken skin baits is in Nassarius crematus as much as 25% and Nassarius coronatus 25%.
