The contamination pattern of fishing ground formulated by Y1=0,220X1+0,085X2+0,227X4+0,204X5-4,540. Fish production disturbed significantly by the waste from hotel and restaurants (X3), seattlements (X4), and KJA fisheries (X5). The contamination pattern of fish caught, represented by a decrease in fish production (Y2) formulated by Y2 =1,195X3+2,152X4+5,140X5-41,664.
