The methodused is an experimental method using a randomized block design (RBD) and Duncan's further test. The data collected includes the type of catch, the total weight of the catch, the number of catches, and environmental parameters. The results showed that the treatment of different light colors affected the number (fish) and weight (kg) of the catches on the Bagan tancap. The composition of the catch on the Bagan tancap for the species caught is squid (Loligosp) and Curvespine cuttlefish (Sepia recurvirostra) which are the main catch (HTU) while Starry triggerfish (Abalistes stellaris), mackerel (Rastrelliger brachysoma), Yellowtail scad (Atule mate), and Doublewhip threadfin bream (Nemipterus nematophorus) are by-catch. Based on the results, it can be concluded that blue light is a good color for catches in the form of number (fish) and weight (kg) on the Bagan tancap fishing gear
