Slowing economic growth can cause a recession due to negative economic growth.Because people's buying power starts to dwindle, particularly in-home consumption, public consumption cannot be anticipated to sustain economic development during a pandemic (Anjaeni & Rahmawati, 2020;Wuryandani, 2020).The decrease in people's purchasing power is due to the reduction in people's income at the beginning of the pandemic so that people make changes to household consumption because they are experiencing problems in the food security sector (Kurniasih, 2020;Limi & Batoa, 2015).
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has not yet subsided, and one of the sectors that have been affected by the pandemic is an activity in the marine and fisheries sector due to a decrease in the selling value of marine and fishery products (Jatnika Suratman, 2021).The reduction in the selling value of fishery products causes a decrease in fishers' income due to a reduction in the selling value of their catch due to the decreasing demand for fish exporters, collectors, traders of fishery products, as well as many hotels and restaurants which are the primary buyers of fishery products closing their businesses (Jatnika Suratman, 2021) eISSN: 2656-4270 One of the communities living in coastal areas and experiencing a decrease in income is the Bajo fishing community, which lives permanently in the coastal area of West Muna Regency.A reduction in income causes a decrease in the purchasing power of a house ladder.Bajo fishers during the Covid-19 pandemic were due to the decline in demand and the selling value of their catch while fulfilling the household needs of Bajo fishers did not only rely on the yield but also needed other markets in the form of food needs other than fish and non-food needs.
