Abstract

Bubu are traditional passive fishing traps made from natural materials such as bamboo and are widely used in coral reef fisheries due to their low impact on benthic habitats. This study examines the diversity and community structure of fish associated with different benthic habitats in Kapota Atoll, Wakatobi National Park, Indonesia. Five bamboo traps (88 × 78 × 32 cm) were deployed at five stations representing four habitat types: coral, sand, coral rubble, and seagrass. To minimize fish avoidance, traps were initially left in place for 48 hours to allow odors from new bamboo to dissipate. After this period, traps were retrieved to collect the catch and then redeployed. Sampling was conducted twice. A total of 92 individuals representing 25 species from 14 families were recorded. Ecological indices indicated moderate diversity (H' = 1.277-2.094), high evenness (E = 0.778-0.921), and low dominance (D = 0.141-0.306). Correspondence analysis explained 64.6% of the species–habitat relationship (Axis 1: 36.02%; Axis 2: 28.58%) and identified three assemblages associated with sand/coral/rubble habitats, shallow seagrass (3 m), and deeper seagrass (8 m). Overall, the results indicate that bubu traps are effective for capturing fish diversity across different benthic habitats and can provide useful ecological information for fisheries management, despite their relatively limited sampling area.

Abstract

Gathering accurate bathymetric data in shallow coastal waters proves to be difficult due to the environmental issues and operational constraints, especially in a semi-enclosed water like Banten Bay. This research intends to examine the seafloor morphology, in addition to assessing the quality of hydrographic data acquired through the use of single-beam echosounder (Odom Echotrac CV100) around Panjang Island Waters. The main line and cross line surveys of the survey were carried out using RTK-GNSS positioning and tidal corrections using 30 day observations relative to mean sea level. The bathymetric data show a gradual depth transition from 8 m nearshore to more than 20 m offshore. Ridges and basins are evident in the data indicating spatial variability. According to the results of a data quality assessment based on the IHO S-44 standard, 94.07% of data belonged to Order 2, 76.67% to Order 1a/1b, 56.30% to Special Order and 38.52% to Exclusive Order with data errors below 7%. As the above results suggest, the general hydrographic mapping by the dataset is of reliable accuracy, which does not achieve highest accuracy consistently. The study’s main contribution is the demonstration of performance and practical limitations of single beam echosounder surveys in shallow water environment with a quantification of data quality compared to IHO standard. This study provides a validated methodology for low-cost bathymetric mapping of other similar semi-enclosed coastal water.

Abstract

The Maluku Sea is a body of water with considerable potential in terms of the fisheries sector. Several fish aggregations are located in the Maluku Sea that are being checked using a Simrad EK-15 single beam echosounder with a frequency of 200 kHz kHz using the hydroacoustic method to record fish echoes. The hydroacoustic method provides information in the form of echoes from fish groups or fish volume. The backscattering strength (SV) is distributed around the fish aggregating device. This study aims to detect the presence of pelagic fish using hydroacoustic technology in the form of backscatter values and to analyze the relationship between pelagic fish SV and temperature, salinity, and currents around fish aggregating devices in the Maluku Sea. Fish aggregating devices in the Maluku Sea are dominated by small pelagic fish with fish aggregating device constructions reaching 70 meters below the water surface, there are buoys tied with floating ropes and artificial attractors such as palm fronds and weights. The temperature profile is around 29.73 – 26.85 °C, salinity ranges from 34.4 to 34.9 PSU, and the current speed is 0.2 meters per second. The distribution of fish SV values in the three fish aggregating devices was at a depth of 5 to 20 meters with SV values ranging from -46.53 to -52.91 dB, indicating that the fish aggregating devices greatly influenced the distribution of pelagic fish that tend to gather and follow the presence of attractors in the fish aggregating devices.
