Distribution of pelagic fish such as fish float can be predicted its existence through the analysis of oceanographic parameters and one of the simultaneous changes is chlorophyll-a. Chlorophyll-a is one of the most important photosynthetic pigment substances for plants in the waters, especially phytoplankton. Chlorophyll-a and its changes are often used as indicators of water and environmental conditions that directly affect fish distribution, especially flying fish, which are predicted to be locations for fishing ground. This research was carried out by extracting satellite images to get the value of chlorophyll-a concentration which was then analyzed using non-linear regression to study the distribution of oceanographic parameters especially the concentration of chlorophyll-a and its relationship with the distribution of flying fish . The results showed that the distribution of chlorophyll- a concentration parameters in the waters of Ternate Island in October 2018 to February 2019 was in the range of 0.2-0.5 mg / m³ with an average value of 0.24 mg / m³, where the value of chlorophyll-a concentration has a significant influence on catches of flying fish with a correlation coefficient of 0.86 in exponential regression.
