Abstract

Bordered with the Indian Ocean, Simeulue Islands is one of the outermost islands in Indonesia located in the west part of Aceh Province. Simeulue waters are productive areas due to the unpolluted condition yet and great of biomass. Three regions were particularly observed, those are Simeuluecut, Ganting, and Labuhan Bajau. In those areas, the existing marine tourism activities might influence the coral reef ecosystem studied. This study aimed to evaluate the condition of coral and coral reef fish in those three particular regions before mass bleaching event in 2016 triggered by ENSO. Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method was employed to record the percentage cover of coral, species diversity, and coral reef fish. Ganting waters was a moderate ecosystem area whith the percentage coverage was up to 45.62%. However, in Simeuluecut and Labuhan Bajau waters, the coral reef communities were excellent with coral percentage coverage reached 83.12% and 81.25 %, respectively. The highest  abundance genera of coral reef fish was observed in Simueluecut waters. This condition was changed oppositely in 2016 when mass bleaching threatened Simeulue waters due to temperature anomaly triggered by ENSO phenomenon. The temperature increases almost 3oC for 6 months that undoubtedly induced bleaching that about 50% of coral colonies were dramatically declined in coral coverage and coral recruitment.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the growth patterns, mortality, and exploitation status of two species of Alestidae in the New Calabar River, Nigeria. For this purpose, fish samples were collected monthly from three landing sites from the local fishermen using gill nets (mesh sizes: 15-25mm), beach seine (mesh sizes: 2.3-10mm), and cast nets (mesh sizes: 15 -25mm). The length-weight relationship revealed exponent “b” value for Brycinus nurse was 3.54 and 3.21 for Brycinus macrolepidotus while the condition factors were 1.08 and 1.02 for Brycinus nurse and Brycinus macrolepidotus respectively. The growth parameters of Brycinus nurse asymptotic length (L) and growth coefficient (K) were 24.46 cm and 0.52 yr-1, respectively, while those for Brycinus macrolepidotus L was 28.88 cm and K was 0.22 yr-1. The reproductive load (L50/L) ratio was found to be 0.59 and 0.61 for B. nurse and B. macrolepidotus, respectively. Exploitation rate (E) for B. nurse was 0.26 and 0.11 for B. macrolepidotus while length-at-first capture (Lc) was 14.49 cm for B. nurse and 17.64 cm for B. macrolepidotus. The natural mortality was greater than the fishing mortality for both species and Logistic regression of the probability of capture routine values recorded for B. nurse were higher than that of B. macrolepidotus. Maximum exploitation rate (Emax) was less than 0.5 for both B. nurse (0.41) and B. macrolepidotus (0.42). These values were close to the maximum allowable limit; therefore, the species may be unsustainable when fishery intensifies in the future. To ensure sustainable exploitation of the two Alestid species in the area, fishing effort should be regulated.

Abstract

Southern Bluefin Tuna in spawning area of the Eastern Indian Ocean where the Indonesian’s longliners operated has a specific character in term of size, age, sex-specific growth rate and the population. The aims of this study are to determined changes in size/age, sex-specific growth rate and virtual population analysis of Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) in the spawning area. This study is important to find out the successful management of SBT in spawning area by looking at the catch at age/size movement, sex-specific growth analysis and the estimation of the population by virtual population analysis. In this study, we were used 452 pairs of otolith with fish sized from 134-196 cmFL and fish aged from 8-20 years. The growth equation was Lt = 191 (1-e-0,167(t+1,081)). Catch at age structure was distributed from 5-22 years with mean and mode of age were 9.63 and 9 years. The distribution of mode changed from year to year shifting to a younger fish. In 2012, the mode was 10 years but entering 2013-2014 the mode was shifted to 6 years. In 2015-2017, the mode was increased from 7 years (2015) to 8 years (2016) and 9 years (2017). The fishing pressure happened in the age group under 20 years. In 2012 to 2014, the highest fishing pressure respectively obtained in the age group of 13 to 11 years with an average length of 167 to 174 cmFL. Entering 2015 and 2016, the highest fishing pressure obtained in the age group of 6 years with an average length of 138 cmFL. The exploitation rate ranged from 0.14/year to 0.25/year meaning that the exploitation was in optimal condition.

Abstract

A biological reference point is a term used to explain of stock status using a biological approach as a basic of fisheries management. Biological reference points of painted spiny lobster Panulirus versicolor are limited in Karimunjawa waters. This study aims to investigate the stock status of P. versicolor and management options to ensure the sustainability of the resources. The research was conducted in Karimunjawa islands of the Java Sea by collecting lobster from local fishers from March to November 2016. A total of 495 lobster were measured, weighed, and their maturity status assessed to allow the size at maturity and selectivity of the fishery to be estimated. The size at maturity L50 (62.2 mm CL) and L95 (82.0 mm CL) were larger than SL50 (48.2 mm CL) and SL95 (75.0 mm CL), respectively. Natural mortality (M) which was 0.579 year-1 is lower than fishing mortality (F). The current spawning potential ratio (SPR) of P. versicolor is 19% at the current F of 0.82, which is below SPR limit of 20% and target reference point of 40%. Hence, to increase SPR level to 40%, the fishing mortality should be reduced by about 40% to 60%. Closed season, legal size, and defining no take zone are options to consider by fishery manager with appropriate surveillance control. Single or combining those measures can reduce its fishing mortality and take back the stocks to the level of target reference point.

Abstract

Black marlin (Makaira indica) is commonly caught as frozen by-catch from Indonesian tuna longline fleets. Its contribution estimated 18% (~2,500 tons) from total catch in Indian Ocean. Relative abundance indices as calculated based on commercial catches are the input data for several to run stock assessment analyses that provide models to gather information useful information for decision making and fishery management, however, little are known about the influence of environmental factors to its abundance. In this paper, the abundance was represented as standardized index in order to eliminate any bias on other factors which might influence it. Data were collected from August 2005 to December 2017 through scientific observer program (2005-2017) and national observer program (2016-2017). Most of the vessels monitored were based in Benoa Port, Bali. Overall, time trends of abundance was fluctuated, although, there was increasing trend since 2010 then dropped significantly into relatively similar figure in 2005. Even though, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Sea Surface Height (SSH) were statistically significant when incorporating into the models, but it allegedly wasn’t the main driver in determining the abundance of black marlin. Instead, it was more likely driven by spatio-temporal factors (year and area) effect rather than environmental changes.

Abstract

Pangasiid catfishes is an economic important catfish family for fishery. Nowadays, three species, Pangasius hypophtahlmus, P. boucorti, and P. djambal, are used in aquaculture. Among the genera in Pangasiidae, Helicophagus was less studied. Although this genus was less preferred than other popular species in Pangasiidae, it still has high commercial price. The present study was conducted to clarify the differences of the exist species in the genus Helicophagus based on biometric analyses. Twenty six specimens, collected from represent rivers in Southeast Asia, used for the material examined. Several type specimens deposited in museums were also added in the analyses. Thirty five characters were designed for measurement on the unique body conformation. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to distinguish different species and found strong characters for key identification and description. The results presented the data and information on the diagnosis, description, distribution, and ecology of each species. Key identification of each species are given. The three species (Helicophagus typus, H. waandersii, and H. leptorhynchus) enabled to show their differences based on eye diameter and vomerine toothplate length.

Abstract

Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) was one of the export commodities, where the demand and exploitation tend to increase, so sustainable fisheries management is needed based on biological data. The objective of the research was to study the several aspects of biology including of length of weight relationship, sex ratio maturity stage, gonada somatic index (GSI), length at first capture, and length at first maturity. The research was conducted in February - December 2015 in Toli-toli, Central Sulawesi. The results showed that the skipjack tuna growth pattern was allometrically positive (b= 3,318 for male and b = 3.3049 for female), where growth weight was faster than the increased length. The length of the first time capture skipjack tuna of pole and line (43.49 cmFL) was bigger than length at first maturity (41,007 cmFL). It means the mostly skipjack tuna caught have already spawned. The spawning season occurred throughout the year with spawning peaks are in April and September, with fecundity ranging from 450,570 to 1,707,390 eggs.

Abstract

Bullet tuna is considered as one of the important species for tuna purse seine fisheries in Indonesia, especially in archipelagic waters. However, little is known about its biological characteristics which proven to be pivotal in stock assessment. The purpose of this research was to determine some of the biological stock indicators for bullet tuna (Auxis rochei) from Banda Sea and its adjacent waters. The study was conducted from February to November 2016. The length of the bullet tuna caught were in between 18.5-32.7 cmFL (mode=24 cmFL). Growth pattern was isometric with b=3.01 and R2=0.84 Sex ratio was balanced between male and female (1:1). The spawning season allegedly from June to November. The length at 50% mature (L50) was 23.6 cmFL. A good indicator for the fisheries, where at least 75% of the mature fish caught were already spawned. The asymptotic length (L) was 33.63 cmFL, with coefficient of growth (K) around 0.73/year. Natural mortality (M) estimated at 1.87/year, fishing mortality (F) estimated at 2.20/year and total mortality (Z) was 4.07/year. The exploitation level (E) was estimated to be at maximum level (E=0.54/year), for precautionary purpose, the number of efforts should be reduced down to 8% from current effort.

Abstract

Frigate tuna (Auxis thazard) is one of the major commercial tuna species, both in industrial and small scale fisheries, particularly in the waters off Western Sumatera. In Indonesia, A. thazard is a group of locally called “tongkol” together with A. rochei, Thunnus tonggol, and Euthynnus affinis. This study describes a preliminary examination of frigate tuna catch from purse seine off the coast of western Sumatera (FMA 572). The data were collected daily by an enumerator on the fish landing site from 2013 to 2017, including fishing gear, number of days at sea, catch, length, and weight of frigate tuna. The fishing ground coordinate data provided by the observer on board the vessel. General Linear Model (GLM) with gamma was applied in this study to standardize the CPUE by year, quarter, season, and GT as fixed variables. The results showed that the variation of CPUE was mostly influenced by year and quarter, while season and fleet size (GT) showed less impact on the catch. In general, even though the catch trend declines during the observation years, the population of frigate tuna off the coast of western Sumatera (FMA 572) were considered sustainable.
