Abstract This paper aims to examine how to protect of artisanal fishermen fishing ground and the policies that protect them. Small-scale fisher fishing grounds has to have a special attention due to their limitation. They are using very simple fishing gear, so they can’t sail far away from the coastal waters. The Fishing law give a specific attention for this matter, by limiting fishermen with 5 gross tonnage (GT) are only able to conduct their activities within the coastal waters. This study combines legal documents and the results of interviews with fishermen on 5 GT vessel. this studi of find, then the Law Number 27/2016 changed this regulation by increasing gross tonnage for small-scale fishermen from 5 became 10 GT, and it attract more serious problems for these small-scale fishermen since they have no exclusive fishing ground anymore. It will also affect to changes of fishing lane; fishing ground and vessels authorization procedure. By increasing GT, the 10 GT vessels also have rights to sail in the same fishing ground with 5 GT vessels and it’s created a potential conflict between the fishermen. So, harmonization of law is important task for the government in avoiding the overlapping rules on vessels criteria, by choosing law that prioritize on small-scale GT vessels.

Conflict between dolphins and fisheries is an important management issue in many parts of the world. In 2002, we examined the extent of depredation in the Italian small scale fishery by means of in situ interviews. Overall, 245 landing sites were investigated, representing 11.09% of the whole Italian artisanal fleet. The association between the commonly used artisanal fishing gear and the interacting fauna was investigated by means of correspondence analysis. Set gillnet and trammel nets were the types of the fishing gear most vulnerable to dolphin depredation; the interaction with these gear amounted to 66.4% while fish damage was reported in 72.2% of the cases. A regional ranking of the interactions in terms of both fishing gear alteration and fish damage, shows that the problem is most pressing in the Friuli, Campania, Sardinia and Apulia regions. This study is the first attempt to monitor dolphin–fisheries interactions and assess depredation rates in Italy, providing information on the areas where future investigation should be concentrated.

Perikanan teri berkembang sangat pesat khususnya di perairan utara Jawa Madura pada tahun terakhir ini. Kajian tentang karakteristik perikanan teri (Engraulidae) di sepanjang pantai utara Jawa-Madura dilaksanakan pada tahun 2017-2018, meliputi sebaran usaha perikanan, tipe armada-alat penangkapan ikan, aspek operasional penangkapan, hasil tangkapan-kelimpahan dan musim penangkapan ikan teri. Pengumpulan data pendaratan ikan teri dilakukan melalui survey di 11 lokasi pendaratan ikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 12 lokasi tempat pendaratan utama ikan teri di sepanjang pantai utara (pantura) Jawa dan Madura. Dua jenis alat dominan digunakan untuk penangkapan teri adalah pukat cincin dan payang; perikanan bersifat skala kecil, melakukan trip harian, dengan armada kapal penangkap berukuran dibawah 20 GT. Jaring umumnya menggunakan waring dengan mata jaring kecil (3/8 inch) di bagian kantong. Daerah penangkapan di perairan pantai yang dangkal, dekat dengan basis perikanan. Musim penangkapan ikan teri bervariasi, di wilayah bagian barat (Pulolampes, Larangan, Morodemak) berlangsung sekitar musim timur/tenggara (Mei Juli), sedangkan di wilayah bagian timur berlangsung pada awal musim timur dan berjalan cukup lama hingga bulan November (musim peralihan 2). Hasil tangkapan per unit upaya (CPUE, sebagai indek kelimpahan) diduga makin ke arah timur semakin rendah namun disertai musim penangkapan ikan lebih lama. Anchovy fishery has grown rapidly, especially in the northern waters of Java-Madura in the last year. The study on the characteristics of the anchovy fishery (Engraulidae) along the northern coast of Java-Madura was carried out in 2017-2018, covering the distribution of fisheries effort, types of fishing gear, operational aspects of fishing, catch-abundance and fishing season. The collection of anchovy landing data was carried out through a survey at 11 fish landing sites. The results showed that there were 12 main anchovy landing sites along the north coast (pantura) of Java and Madura. Two types of dominant fishing gear used for anchovies are purse seine and payang; Fisheries are small-scale, undertaking daily trips, with a fleet of fishing vessels under 20 GT. The nets generally use “waring” with small mesh (3/8 inch) in the codend. Fishing area in shallow coastal waters, close to the fishing base. The fishing season for anchovy varies, in the western region (Pulolampes, Larangan, Morodemak) it takes place around the east / southeast season (May-July), while in the eastern region it takes place at the beginning of the eastern season and lasts quite a long time until November (transition season 2) . The catch per unit effort (CPUE, as an abundance index) is thought to be getting lower eastward but accompanied by a longer fishing season.

Fisheries in Semarang City are dominated by small-scale fisheries. This is indicated by the use of the largest fishing fleet of 10 gross tons operating near the coast. This study aims to analyze the status of small-scale fisheries in Semarang City for sustainable management. Sustainable management is management that guarantees the availability of natural resources and environmental services for future generations. The study was conducted for three months, namely September-November 2018 in the coastal waters of Semarang City, which was part of the Fisheries Management Region (WPP) 712. The method used in this study is the analysis of time series surplus production, namely data from the catch (ton/year) and the number of fishing gear (unit) within 10 years (2007-2016), to calculate the catch per-unit effort (CPUE), maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum effort (fopt), utilization rate (TP) and capacity level (TK). This study was obtained results of a downward trend in CPUE; the existing fishery catch or production in 2016 has exceeded the MSY value is 479 tons/year (Schaefer) and 439.11 tons/year (Fox); utilization rate of more than 100% which is 108-127% (Schaefer) and 118-138% (Fox), so that small-scale fisheries in Semarang City are at the level of over-exploited. Based on the fopt analysis, the number of fishing gear used (fexisting) has exceeded the optimum effort with a fishing capacity exceeding 100%, so that small-scale fisheries in Semarang City have experienced overcapacity.

ABSTRACTSmall-scale fisheries are hard to assess because of the limited availability of data. Therefore, a method requiring easy-to-obtain catch-data is important for the assessment and management of small-scale fisheries. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of fishing gear selectivity on a length-based metric method proposed by Froese by estimating three indicators using catch-data from Lane Snapper (Lutjanus synagris) collected in Honduras. These indicators are (1) the percentage of mature individuals in the catch, (2) the percentage of fish within the range of estimated optimal lengths to be captured and (3) the percentage of fish larger than the optimal length. These indicators determine the level of overfishing. The indicators were estimated separately for catchdata corresponding to gillnets, and each indicator was estimated with and without selectivity correction. Selectivity and mesh sizes of the fishing gear had a major impact in the estimation of indicators 1 and 2. As for indicator 3, it consistently showed a high level of exploitation. The three estimated indicators suggested that the Lane Snapper fishery in Honduras, is experiencing overfishing. Overall, the method proposed by Froese appears to be promising for the assessment of small-scale fisheries, but it should be used cautiously.

This work was carried out in the Enseada da Baleia and Vila Rápida communities. Data was provided by the Co-Management Committee of the Cardoso Island State Park (PEIC) on manjuba fishery management, technique and strategies used by the fishermen, as well as locally accumulated knowledge. Based on the results, social, ecological, and economic aspects of this type of fishing were analyzed. The importance of the accumulated knowledge and experience of this community, as well as the limitations imposed by local fishing gear, was concluded to be essential in conserving manjuba fishery conditions in the area. Industrial fishing, relevant state legislation, and market conditions were found to be the main obstacles to local fishery. Various proposals are suggested for manjuba fishery management, with emphasis on the need for fishing community participation in whatever measures are ultimately implemented.

 Simeulue Islands are the farthest area in West Indonesia that have potency in fisheries and marine science sectors. One of the marine resources from Simeulue Island are Octopus. The octopus price in the market were prospective than other fisheries commudity. However, we have no strategy to increase the Octopus sustainability. Thus, the research about the socio-economic were very important. The aim of this research was to determine the increasing strategy of small scale fishermen sustainability through the utilization of Octopus potency at Simeulue Island. The research method by using descriptive method with sampling method that used accidental sampling.  Subsequently, those samples were analysed by using SWOT Analysis. The result showed that the internal factor in our study are togertherness in capture operational system with value as much as 0,58. Moreover, the weakness generated the lack attention from institutional as much as 0,31. In external factors showed the opportunity from fisheries resources abundantly as much as 0,61. However, the threats showed mostly local fishermen catch the fisheries resources by using unfriendly fishing gear. According to the scoring I  grand matrix of small scale fisheries in Simeulue Islands. Thus, this grand strategy in the first kuadran. It means that the small scale fisheries have high opportunity for developing with utilize the strength and grab the opportunity.                                                                                      Keywords :small scale, fisheries, octopus, Simeulue

Abstract The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has been perceived by all community. The global economic slowdown has an impact on Indonesia’s economic growth. Exports of Indonesian fishery products are delayed due to restrictions on imported products in Indonesia’s export destination countries. This study aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the utilization of fishery resources in the Indramayu District. The data used in this study are primary and secondary. Methods of data analysis using quantitative descriptive. The results showed that fishermen in the Indramayu District continue to catch fish using the same fishing fleet and gear at the same fishing ground. The decline in business income due to the decrease in the selling price of fish causes a decrease in business capital and a decrease in the source of livelihood for small-scale fishermen. Fishermen’s income has decreased by 20-30% per trip. Fishers continue to use the same boat, fishing gear, fishing ground, operational costs, and crew. The adaptation made by small fishermen is to reduce the number of trips to avoid losses when catches are low. The adaptation carried out by large-scale fishermen is to look for alternative sources of capital for operational costs to be still carried out during the fishing season. The government can provide fishing gear assistance and financial assistance to small fishers and provide capital institutions for large-scale fishers in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on fishers in Indramayu.
