Abstract

Tagging of tropical tunas has a long history in Indonesian waters. Since 1987 tuna tagging has been conducted in Indonesian Waters. Tuna tagging in 2008 in eastern Indonesian waters was conducted in collaborative program with SPC to obtain new data about biological aspect and stock assessment of tuna. This tuna tagging was successfully conducted at 86 locations, with a total of 25,197 tuna tagged with conventional tags, at an average of around 900 fish per fishing day. The releases of conventional tags comprised of 19,576 skipjack (77.7%), 5,267 yellowfin (20.9%) and 354 bigeye (1.4%). From the length frequency composition, the skipjack size range was wide, between 29 – 83 cm, but mostly between 35 and 40 cm with 38.9 cm average. The yellowfin size range of 28 – 65 cm, with most fish between 37 and 41 cm of 40.1 cm average. The small numbers of bigeye tagged were mostly larger than 38 cm, ranging from 29 to 58 cm with 41.3 cm average. During the taggingcruise, bait fish to support the fishing activity was relatively easily found in and around the survey area, either with direct catching using bouke ami net or purchasing from the lift net fisherman. By the end of 2010, 4,594 tags was recovered representing a relatively high recovery rate of 18.2% overall.

Abstract

Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri Cuvier, 1832) is a member of the Scombrid family, is a pelagic (open ocean) species found worldwide in tropical and warm-temperate seas. It is fished throughout its range by artisanal, recreational, and commercial. Wahoo is one of the by-product species of the tuna long line fleets operate in Indian Ocean. This paper describes status of wahoo resource caught by tuna long line in Indian Ocean based at Benoa-Bali. Data obtained from onboard observer program on the tuna long liner based at Benoa-Bali during 2005-2010. Total of 85 trips of onboard observation were carried out with the total long line sets (one set per day) were 2873 times. The data covered the horizontal and vertical position of tuna long line hooks caught the wahoo, hook rate and fish size distribution. Data of horizontal fishing positions (coordinates) gained from the global positioning system availabled in the tuna long liners. The depth of the long line gear in the waters and teperature of waters were measured by mini-loggers TDR type SP2T-1200, brand: NKE Micrel. Hook rate of wahoo is calculated using the Klawe (1986) method. Result of research showed that the wahoos caught by tuna long lines based at Benoa spread horizontally between 1o31’-33o 40’S and 77o18’-117o53’E and spread vertically between the depth of 75.2- 285.7 m. From 85 tuna long line fishing trips, only about 50% of 85 tuna long line fishing trips caught wahoo with hook rate ranged 0.947-1.399 per 1000 hooks/setting. Size distribution of wahoo ranged 70-180cm with modus ranged 101-110cm.
