AbstractThe blue swimming crab (BSC), Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus 1758), inhabits coastal areas of Southeast and East Asia, and is one of high fisheries commodity with export value for Indonesia and global market demand increasing annually. However, the data of genetic diversity and their spatial connectivity of populations in Indonesia are not yet known, which is important to inform unit stock management and sustainable fisheries. This study aimed to determine genetic diversity and differentiation of blue swimming crab across Indonesia populations under different Fishery Management Area, and their spatial genetic connectivity, as well as implications for sustainable fishery. A total of 297 individuals were amplified using cytochrome oxidase I mitochondrial DNA. This study shown highest value of haplotype and nucleotide diversity in the eastern part of Indonesia, where exploitation is relatively low. Significant genetic differentiation between populations (FST = 0.954; p < 0.001) and the fishery management regions (FST = 0.964; p < 0.001) were revealed. Low spatial connectivity was observed between populations in a distance of at least more than 60 kilometers. This study suggests that BSC populations in Indonesia likely have several unit stock, and preferably different fisheries management plan and action across the region thoroughly and simultaneously is effective for management and their sustainable conservation.

The blue swimming crab (BSC), Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus 1758), inhabits coastal areas of Southeast and East Asia, and is one of high fisheries commodities with an export value for Indonesia and an increasing global market demand, annually. However, the data of genetic diversity and their spatial connectivity of populations in Indonesia are not yet known, even when it is important to inform stock unit management and sustainable use. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity and differentiation of blue swimming crabs across Indonesian populations in different Fishery Management Area (FMA), and their spatial genetic connectivity, as well as to deliver implications for sustainable fishery. A total of 297 individuals were collected and amplified using cytochrome oxidase I mitochondrial DNA. This study has showed the highest values for haplotype and nucleotide diversity in the eastern part of Indonesia, where exploitation is relatively low. Significant genetic differentiation between populations (FST = 0.954; p < 0.001) and the fisheries management areas (FST = 0.964; p < 0.001) were revealed. Low spatial connectivity was observed between populations in a distance of at least more than 60 kilometers. This study suggests that BSC populations in Indonesia, likely have several stock units, and preferably different fisheries management plans and actions across the region thoroughly and simultaneously. This would be effective for management and their sustainable conservation.

AbstractThe demersal brown banded bamboo shark Chiloscyllium punctatum is a major component of sharks landed in Malaysia. However, little is known about their population structure and the effect of high fishing pressure on these weak swimming sharks. Both mitochondrial DNA control region (1072 bp) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (1044 bp) were used to elucidate the genetic structure and connectivity of C. punctatum among five major areas within the Sundaland region. Our findings revealed (i) strong genetic structure with little present day mixing between the major areas, (ii) high intra-population genetic diversity with unique haplotypes, (iii) significant correlation between genetic differentiation and geographical distance coupled with detectable presence of fine scale geographical barriers (i.e. the South China Sea), (iv) historical directional gene flow from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia towards the west coast and Borneo, and (v) no detectable genetic differentiation along the coastline of east Peninsular Malaysia. Genetic patterns inferred from the mitochondrial DNA loci were consistent with the strong coastal shelf association in this species, the presence of contemporary barriers shaped by benthic features, and limited current-driven egg dispersal. Fine scale population structure of C. punctatum highlights the need to improve genetic understanding for fishery management and conservation of other small-sized sharks.

Tingginya permintaan pasar terhadap rajungan mengakibatkan aktivitas penangkapannya berlangsung secara intensif. Selat Malaka merupakan salah satu daerah penangkapan rajungan yang penting di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengestimasi parameter populasi dan tingkat eksploitasi rajungan (Portunus pelagicus) di perairan Asahan dan sekitarnya. Pengumpulan data bulanan dilakukan pada bulan Juni 2015 sampai dengan Nopember 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa musim penangkapan berlangsung sepanjang tahun dengan puncak pada bulan Juli dan Oktober, puncak pemijahan terjadi pada bulan Januari dan Agustus. Ukuran lebar karapas pertama kali tertangkap dengan gillnet (Lc) dan ukuran pertama kali matang gonad (Lm) masing-masing sebesar 109,6 mm dan 104,1 mm. Laju pertumbuhan (K) sebesar 1,38/tahun dan lebar karapas asimtotik (L) sebesar 183,10 mm. Laju kematian total (Z) rajungan sebagai 4,31 per tahun, laju kematian karena penangkapan (F) dan laju kematian alami (M) masing-masing 2,96 per tahun dan 1,35 per tahun; laju eksploitasi (E) diestimasi sebesar 0,69. Tingkat pemanfaatan rajungan di perairan Asahan diduga telah melewati optimal, sehingga perlu dilakukan pengelolaan melalui pengurangan jumlah unit gillnet rajungan sebanyak 38% dari kondisi saat ini. Blue swimming crab faced intensive fishing pressure due to the high market demand. The Malacca Strait is one of important fishing area for blue swimming crab. The research aims to estimate the population parameters and exploitation rate of blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) in the Asahan and adjacent waters. A monthly data were collected from June 2015 to November 2016 that caught by Gillnet. The results showed that the fishing season takes place throughout the year with peaks in July and October, meanwhile peak of spawning season in January and August. The carapace width at first capture (Lc) and first mature (Lm) were 109.6 mm and 104.1 mm, respectively. The growth rate (K) was 1.38 / year and the asymptotic length (L) was 183.10 mm. Total mortality rate (Z) was 4.31 per year, fishing mortality rate (F) and natural mortality rate (M) were 2.96 per year and 1.35 per year respectively; Exploitation rate (E) was estimated at 0.69. It means that the exploitation rate of swimming crab in the Asahan waters found exceed the optimum level, therefore the management measures needs to reduce effort (unit) of gillnet by a 38% of actual level.

Portunus pelagicus (blue swimming crab) is one of the important economical marine commodities produced from Indonesian coastal waters that has increasing market demand among fishery commodities. The purpose of this research is to reveal the relationship of carapace width and weight, the growth pattern and the carapace width-weight ratio of P. pelagicus crabs at two different research sites in Manado Bay. The benefits of this study, can be a reference for further studies on blue swimming crabs, P. pelagicus, and information obtained in this study could become important information needed for the maximum sustainable utilization of blue swimming crab, P. pelagicus.This research was conducted at two locations, namely Kelurahan Bahu, Sub-district of Malalayang with coordinates of 1 ° 27'49.86 "North and 124 ° 49'35.79" East and second location in Tumumpa Dua, Sub-district of Tuminting with coordinates 1 ° 31'14.51"North - 124 ° 50'28.67"East. Samples of blue swimming crabs were collected by deploying traps which are placed at 5-7 meters with the distance between traps 10 meter. Traps were placed at 17.00 pm and lifted on the next day at 06.00 am. Measurement of the width of the carapace conducted by using the ruler with 0.1 cm accuracy and weight measurement using the scales with 0.1 gram accuracy.The correlation value obtained for the wide and weight relationship of blue swimming crabs in the Sub-district of Malalayang is 0.953 for males and 0.898 for females. In Kelurahan Tumumpa Dua, Sub-dis ittrict of Tuminting 0.829 for males and 0.920 for females respectively. Based on these values the increase in the width of the carapace will affect the weight gain of the crab. The growth pattern of P. pelagicus crab in Kelurahan Bahu, Sub-district of Malalayang and Tumumpa Dua Sub-district Tuminting showed negative allometric growth pattern with b <3 value which means faster carapace growth compared to the weight of crab. From the result of chi square test on wide body and weight relationship analysis, is found same for both locations with value x2 table = 7.815 <x2 count = 112.3134. This is presumably due to one of the external factors is the availability of food.Keywords: Rajungan, growth pattern, Manado Bay AbstrakPortunus pelagicus merupakan salah satu komoditi hasil laut ekonomis penting yang dihasilkan dari perairan pantai Indonesia dengan permintaan pasar terhadap komoditas rajungan yang terus meningkat. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui hubungan lebar berat rajungan P. pelagicus, pola pertumbuhan rajungan P. pelagicus dan perbandingan lebar berat rajungan P. pelagicus di dua lokasi penelitian yang berbeda di Teluk Manado. Manfaat penelitian ini, dapat menjadi bahan acuan untuk studi lebih lanjut mengenai rajungan P. pelagicus serta infomasi yang didapat dalam penelitian ini bisa menjadi bahan kajian untuk pemanfaatan rajungan P. pelagicus secara maksimal serta berkelanjutan.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada dua lokasi yakni di Kelurahan Bahu Kecamatan Malalayang dengan koordinat 1°27'49.86"LU - 124°49'35.79"BT dan lokasi kedua di Kelurahan Tumumpa Dua Kecamatan Tuminting dengan koordinat 1°31'14.51"LU - 124°50'28.67"BT. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan alat tangkap bubu yang diletakan pada kedalam 5-7 meter dengan jarak antara bubu 10 meter. Bubu diletakan pada pukul 17.00 wita dan diangkat pada esok harinya pukul 06.00 wita. Pengukuran lebar karapas menggunakan mistar dengan ketelitian 0,1 cm dan pengukuran berat tubuh menggunakan timbangan 0,1 gr.Nilai korelasi yang didapat untuk hubungan lebar berat rajungan P. pelagicus di Kelurahan Bahu Kecamatan Malalayang 0,953 untuk jantan dan 0,898 untuk betina. Di Kelurahan Tumumpa Dua Kecamatan Tuminting 0,829 untuk jantan dan 0,920 untuk betina. Berdasarkan nilai tersebut pertambahan lebar karapas akan berpengaruh pada kenaikan berat tubuh dari rajungan. Pola pertumbuhan rajungan P. pelagicus di Kelurahan Bahu Kecamatan Malalayang dan di Kelurahan Tumumpa Dua Kecamatan Tuminting menunjukan pola pertumbuhan yang bersifat allometrik negatif dengan nilai b < 3 yang berarti pertumbuhan karapas lebih cepat dibandingkan pertambahan berat rajungan. Dari hasil analisis chi square lebar berat tubuh, sama untuk kedua lokasi penelitian dengan nilai x2 tabel =  7,815 < x2 hitung = 112,3134. Hal ini diduga karena salah satu faktor eksternal yakni  ketersediaan makanan.Kata  kunci : Rajungan,  Pola pertumbuhan, Teluk Manado.

Abstract. Hidayani AA, Fujaya Y, Trijuno DD, Rukminasari N, Alimuddin A. 2020. Genetic diversity of blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus 1758) from Indonesian waters (Sunda and Sahul Shelf, Wallacea region): Phylogenetic approach. Biodiversitas 21: 2097-2102. Blue swimming crab is one of the exploited fisheries commodities in Indonesia. This condition has contributed to the decline of their genetic diversity. The information on genetic diversity assumes importance for the conservation and the cultural purposes of species. The study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of blue swimming crabs from Indonesian waters using phylogenetic analysis. We conducted sampling of crab from several Indonesian waters, such the Aceh and Semarang (representing Sunda Shelf), Barru, South Sulawesi, and Maumere, Flores (representing Wallacea region) and Sorong, Raja Ampat and Kaimana (representing Sahul Shelf). Genetic diversity in this study using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) by implementing the method of Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I (COI). According to the findings, the blue swimming crabs from our study sites had a high genetic diversity variation. Three groups of crabs were determined using phylogenetic tree which formed three different unique clades. There was the same haplotype of crab observed from different locations, barring a sample from the Sahul Shelf which has a unique haplotype. There was no genetic speciation of crab samples from the Sunda Shelf and the Wallacea region were observed, except samples from the Sahul Shelf. Hybridization might occur between species of the crabs due to the finding of a cryptic species.

Background By comparing spatial geographical structures of host populations with that of their symbionts light can be shed on their biological interactions, and the degree of congruence between host and symbiont phylogeographies should reflect their life histories and especially dispersal mechanisms. Methods Here, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of a host, the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus, and its symbiotic pedunculate barnacle Octolasmis angulata from six location sites representing three geographic regions (north, central and south) along the Vietnam coastline. High levels of congruence in their phylogeographic patterns were expected as they both undergo planktonic larval stages. Results Based on the COI mtDNA markers, O. angulata populations showed higher genetic diversity in comparison with their host P. pelagicus (number of haplotype/individuals, haplotype and nucleotide diversity are 119/192, 0.991 ± 0.002 and 0.02; and 89/160, 0.913 ± 0.02 and 0.015, respectively). Pairwise Fst and AMOVA analyses showed a more pronounced population structure in the symbiotic barnacle than in its crab host. The DAPC analyses identified three genetic clusters. However, both haplotype networks and scatter plots supported connectivity of the host and the symbiotic barnacle throughout their distribution range, except for low subdivision of southern population. Isolation by distance were detected only for the symbiont O. angulata (R2 = 0.332, P = 0.05), while dbMEM supported spatial structure of both partners, but only at MEM-1 (Obs. 0.2686, P < 0.01 and Obs. 0.2096, P < 0.01, respectively).

Betahwalang has been one of the main contributors to the Blue Swimming Crab (BSC, Portunus pelagicus) fisheries production in Central Java Province. Recruitment of the BSC depends to a large extend on the abundance of crab larvae. However, information on larval distribution of the crab affecting the recruitment to the fishery, fishery management and decision making to support crab conservation in Betahwalang area has been lacking.  The purpose of this study is to describe the spatial and temporal distribution of BSC larvae in the crab conservation area, to identify the larval stage most commonly occurs in the conservation area, and to develop process of decision making to managing conservation areas. This study was conducted in twelve months, starting from January until December 2018. The spatial distribution of the crab larvae was analyzed and mapped by means of SPSS and ArcGIS. The results of this study indicate that the crab larvae occur in the conservation area throughout the year.  The highest larval abundance of the crab occurs in May, September, and November. The most commonly found crab larval stages were megalopa. As megalopa and crablet stages are relatively much more active and closer to the adult form, their occurrence in the conservation area and throughout the year of 2018 suggests the existence of continuous support to the Blue Swimming Crab recruitment for the following year. The spatial and temporal distribution of the larvae were influenced by oceanographic parameters including temperature, nitrate and phosphate, which were associated with monsoonal changes in the Java Sea.
