Abstract Effective use of spatial management in the pelagic realm presents special challenges due to high fish and fisher mobility, limited knowledge and significant governance challenges. The tropical Indian Ocean provides an ideal case study for testing our ability to apply existing data sources to assessing impacts of spatial management on tuna fisheries because of several recent controversial spatial closures. We review the scientific underpinnings of pelagic MPA effects, spatio-temporal patterns of Indian Ocean tuna catch, bycatch and fish movements, and the consequences of these for the efficacy of spatial management for Indian Ocean tropical tuna fisheries. The tropical Indian Ocean is characterized by strong environmental fluctuations, regular seasonal variability in catch, large observed tuna displacement distances, relatively uniform catch-per-unit-effort and bycatch rates over space, and high fisher mobility, all of which suggest significant variability and movement in tropical tuna fisheries that are simply not well adapted to static spatial closures. One possible exception to this overall conclusion would be a large time/area closure east of Somalia. If closed for a significant fraction of the year it could reduce purse-seine bycatch and juvenile tuna catch. Dynamic closures following fish migratory patterns are possible, but more focused information on fish movements will be needed for effective implementation. Fortunately, several recent improvements in conventional fishery management and reporting will likely enhance our ability to evaluate spatial and non-spatial management options in the near future, particularly as pertaining to bycatch species.

<p>Penggunaan rumpon laut-dalam telah mengubah taktik dan strategi perikanan pukat cincin pelagis kecil yang beroperasi di perairan dangkal untuk bergeser pada perikanan tuna neritik tropis. Rumponisasi perikanan pukat cincin yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan produktivitas telah menjadi masalah serius pada perikanan neritik tuna. Hal ini terjadi karena tertangkapnya ikan berukuran kecil dalam jumlah yang dominan sehingga dalam jangka panjang akan berpotensi konflik dengan perikanan lainnya. Para ilmuwan yang tergabung dalam pengelolaan perikanan regional merekomendasikan bahwa pengembangan terkendali terhadap penggunaan rumpon di daerah asuhan juvenile tuna tropis. Pengendalian dalam jangka panjang dapat meminimalkan ancaman bagi kelangsungan hidup kelompok jenis tuna. Hal ini terkait dengan pentingnya memperbesar peluang masuknya sediaan kelompok jenis ini pada tingkat yang layak untuk dimanfaatkan. Di Indonesia, pilihan kebijakan perikanan tangkap baik melalui peralihan sasaran kelompok spesies maupun diversifikasi usaha penangkapan akan selalu bertumpu pada pertimbangan sosial. Bagaimanapun juga, proses mengubah pemahaman nelayan nelalui pengendalian jumlah dan teknologi kapal penangkap ikan serta penutupan sementara daerah penangkapan yang akan melalui proses panjang harus tetap dijalankan untuk mencegah runtuhnya perikanan yang saat ini sedang berjalan.</p><p>The use of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) has radically changing the tactic and strategy shallow waters small pelagic purse seiner into high seas tropical neritics tuna fisheries. Applying FADs on purse seine fishery which initiated to increase its productivity became a serious problem to neritics<br />tuna fishery. This indicated by the negative impact on neritics and tropical tuna populations due to large number of small size of tunas being caught and uncertain of number and of FADS position in the high seas. In the long run it will generate a potential conflict to other existing fisheries. The member scientists of regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) recommends that the development of the use of FADs, especially in the area which dominated of juvenile of tropical tuna, should be strongly regulated. FADs management through control system should be applied to minimize impact on recruitment process that associated with the importance of long term availability of its fisheries. Management option through shifting target species and diversification of the fishing activities in<br />Indonesia would always be rely on social dimension. Nevertheles, reorientation on fishers understanding on controllable number of fishing vessels and its technological creeps should strongly be implemented to avoid collapse their existing fisheries.</p>

Priority Action

Significant roles of the fishery in the Indonesia’s archipelagic waters/IAW (FMAs 713, 714 and 715), with proportion of around 60% came from the IAW, and a strong residential behavior for skipjack (SKJ) and yellowfin tuna (YFT) encourage Indonesia to develop harvest strategies for the tropical tuna in the IAW. This is a priority action of the National Tuna Management Plan (NTMP) for tropical and neritic tuna. Fisheries operating in the IAW are mainly small scale commercial vessels. A specific harvest strategy framework that appropriate with the fishery characteristics has been developed. This paper describes the process of harvest strategy (HS) development for the tropical tuna in the Indonesia’s archipelagic waters (FMAs 713, 714 and 715). The HS is developed scientific works (including data collection, analysis/modelling and series technical and consultative stakeholder workshops as well as expert consultancies. Four technical workshops and seven stakeholder workshops have been done between 2015 and 2017. An interim HS (consisted of management objective, limit reference point, monitoring, analysis, harvest control rule and management measure) has been determined and agreed. Continues collaboration and commitment from related stakeholders including Government, fishers, fishing association, NGOs by adopting co-mangement and participatory approach in implementing the agreed harvest strategy, through data collection and sustain supports.The time series of catch and effort data, and size data could be used to monitor the fishery, stok status and its performance.In addition, involvement of relevant international tuna experts through expert consultancies are integrated process with the technical and stakeholder workshops. This HS development process is still on-going and can be refined, as HS development is a cycle process.
