Abstract

The manyung fish, locally known as 'ikan sembilang' (family Ariidae), is a large demersal species inhabiting marine and estuarine waters, commonly found near river mouths. This study aimed to identify the species composition, catch yield, fishing gear, and traditional processing methods for manyung fish in the estuarine waters of Teluk Bintuni Regency, West Papua, Indonesia. Research was conducted from October to November 2023 at three sites: Masui and Tahiti in East Bintuni District, and SP 4 in Manimeri, West Bintuni District. A total of 49 individual fish and 15 tissue samples for DNA analysis were collected. The results identified eight distinct manyung species. The total catch yield at the respective locations was 69.64 kg, 48.56 kg, and 46.35 kg. Fishermen primarily used gillnets (locally termed 'pele') and handlines. The local community processes the catch traditionally through smoking and salting methods.

Abstract

ABSTRACT : This study aims to examine expert perceptions regarding the sustainability of aquaculture in Bintuni Bay through a cross-analysis of several key aspects: community participation, awareness of the importance of aquaculture, community involvement in decision-making, capacity building, engagement in monitoring and evaluation, optimization of production and resources, and the distribution of economic benefits. The results indicate a predominance of positive perceptions but also highlight significant challenges related to the quality of participation, equitable distribution of economic benefits, and the effectiveness of monitoring mechanisms. Recommendations are directed toward strengthening institutional capacity, promoting technological innovation, and developing inclusive participatory mechanisms to enhance both social and ecological sustainability.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human activities, such as tree cutting, waste disposal, and land conversion for various purposes. Similar pressures occur in the coastal region of West Biak, Papua, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyse the ecological condition of mangrove ecosystems and to identify community activities related to mangrove utilisation. The research was conducted over a three-month period, from March to May 2024, in Sopendo and Mamoribo Villages, West Biak District, Biak Numfor Regency, covering a total area of 52.91 ha. Mangrove vegetation data were collected using line transects and quadrat plots, while information on community activities was obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Mangrove vegetation structure was analysed using the Importance Value Index (IVI) while species diversity was assessed using the Shannon–Wiener Diversity Index. Interview data were analysed descriptively to identify patterns of community utilisation of mangrove resources. A total of twelve mangrove species were identified. Rhizophora apiculata showed the highest IVI values, reaching 85.66 in Mamoribo and 105.08 in Sopendo, indicating its strong dominance within the mangrove community structure. The ecological condition of the mangrove ecosystem is closely linked to community utilisation activities, where mangrove diversity and species dominance support various local livelihood practices. There are seven activities carried out within the mangrove forest area. Tree cutting, bark stripping, and waste disposal in coastal areas are activities that directly have detrimental impacts on mangrove forests. These findings highlight both the ecological significance of mangrove species in the region and the high level of community dependence on mangrove resources, emphasising the need for sustainable management strategies to maintain ecosystem integrity while supporting local livelihoods.
