Studies on artisanal fisheries of sharks and rays in Indonesia were carried out during 2001-2004. A market sampling method was employed to collect fisheries data from a number of major landings sites, namely: Pelabuhanratu and Cilacap in south coast of Java, Kedonganan in south coast of Bali and Tanjung Luar on the island of Lombok. Large proportions of the shark and ray landings were by-catch of tuna longlines and gillnets, and shark surface and bottom longlines from Tanjung Luar - east of Lombok. The shark landings were dominated by the families Carcharhinidae, Squalidae, Allopidae and Sphyrnidae, while rays were dominated by the Dasyatidae, Rhynchobatidae and Mobulidae. Most of the landings were processed to be dried and salted products for local consumptions. Some of them are exported to Asian countries. The most valuable part of sharks are their fins, which are a delicacy in Chinese cuisine. The major importers of Indonesian shark fins are Hongkong that contributed 46.3% of the total reported exports of shark fins from Indonesia.

The marine gastropodAnachis aliceae(Pallary, 1900) is reported with certainty for the first time from the Algarve, south coast of Portugal from species-rich rocky priority biotope. Several live specimens of this species belonging to the Columbellidae family were collected and identified from by-catch samples, recovered from octopus traps set at depths between 50 and 70 m off Ponta da Piedade. Taxonomic validation of the newly recorded species is based on the comparison to other related species within the genus.

The beryciform fish Hoplostethus mediterraneus is a species discarded from the southern Portuguese coastal fisheries. It is taken as by-catch by deep water trawls, at depths of between 234 m and 618 m. This species is a benthopelagic feeder, preying mainly on crustaceans. The dominant prey species encountered were the euphausid Meganyctiphanes norvegica and the amphipod Anilocra physodes. It seems that H. mediterraneus is an opportunistic rather than a selective feeder.

Abstract There is a dearth of studies on police corruption that have analysed the correlation of economic, cultural, and political causes of police corruption in Pakistan; therefore, the existing studies fail to provide such a holistic picture of the phenomenon. This article aims to fill the gap. It is claimed that police corruption in Pakistan is a politicized, institutionalized, and a legitimized phenomenon. The police force entrenched in a kinship-based patron–client social and political culture benefits the political elite to use the police force for controlling the electorate and political opponents. The policy reforms for curbing police corruption have failed and cannot be successful without a strong political will of the political elite. This is a qualitative study using a purposive sampling method. The article will be a useful reference for readers, including police officials who are interested in understanding why corruption could not be effectively prevented and may have some broader relevance to other South Asian countries.

AbstractIn biological monitoring, deploying an effective standardised quantitative sampling method, optimised by trap design and sampling effort, is an essential consideration. To exemplify this using dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) communities, three pitfall trap designs (un-baited (TN), baited at ground level (flat trap, TF), and baited above the trap (hanging trap, TH)), employed with varying levels of sampling effort (number of traps=1, 2, 3 … 10; number of days=1, 2, 3), were evaluated for sampling completeness and efficiency in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Modelling and resampling simulation approaches were used to suggest optimal sampling protocols across environmentally diverse sites. Overall, TF recovered the greatest abundance and species richness of dung beetles, but behavioural guilds showed conflicting trends: endocoprids preferred TH while paracoprids and telocoprids preferred TF. Resampling simulation of trap type and the two components of sampling effort suggested that six TF traps left for three days was most efficient in obtaining a representative sample and allowed differentiation between trap types, allowing the improved efficiency to be recognised. The effect of trap type on non-target specimens, particularly ants, was also investigated. TF and TH caught almost no by-catch, which is ethically desirable.

    Abstract 85% commercials in Japan are promoted with celebrity endorsers, and that trend seems phenomenal knowing other Asian countries start to imitate Japan’s marketing path. One of the most influential celebrity in Japan today is Arashi, a band formed 20 years ago, who grows mature along with their solid fan base throughout the nation and outside the country. In the tight business competition, both in entertainment and tourism industry, Arashi gives fresh air to Japan economic. This study is aimed at examining the effects of the celebrity endorsement, which consist of three dimensions, and consumer celebrity worship, which consist of two dimensions, to the purchase intention with destination image as the intervening.    This is a descriptive study, with approximately 18.000 of Arashi’s foreign fans in an online community; livejournal, as the population. The samples, which was taken based on Slovin’s formula, are 206 people by using non probability sampling method and purposive sampling. The technique of collecting data is online questionnaires. The validity that is used is Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The reliability of this study is using Cronbach Alpha; meanwhile, to measure the model, SEM with path analysis is used. Further, Moderating Regression is used to measure the moderating variables used in this study.   From this study, it is concluded that the Consumer-Celebrity Worship will positively affect the Destination Image, Destination Image will positively affect Purchase Intention, Celebrity Endorsement will positively affect the Purchase Intention, Socio-demographic & economic will strengthen the link of Consumer-Celebrity Worship and Destination Image, Socio-demographic &economic will strengthen the link of Consumer-Celebrity Worship and Purchase Intention.     Keywords: Celebrity Endorsement, Purchase Intention, Consumer-Celebrity Worship

The aim of this study was analyze the main catch and by catch of bagan rambo in Lasolo Bay of Konawe Utara regency. This study was done about 2 months (on January–February) 2019 by survey method. The taking of fish samples was carried out as many as 30 trips using bagan rambo by the sampling method was stratified random sampling. All samples obtained were separated by type then measurements of the length and weight of each species were caught. The composition of the overall catch species as many as 37.881 individuals consisted of 50 species, each of 46 species of fish from 24 families and 2 groups of non fish each of 3 species of molluscs and 1 species of crustaceans. The main catch was dominate by anchovy (Stolephorus commersoni) as much as 73.83%, by catch useable as much as 26.13% consisting of 45 species, and by catch discarded as much as 0.026% consisting of 3 pufferfish species (Tetraodon sp.).Key words: catch composition, main catch, by catch, bagan rambo

Abstract Lakes, rivers and oceans provide unique resources and support fisheries and aquaculture worldwide. The fisheries and aquaculture sector of Kenya contributes approximately 0.8% to the country’s GDP. Marine production is about 9 000 tonnes per year. Marine finfish form the bulk of the marine production, while shellfish (e.g. prawns, lobsters and crabs), molluscs (e.g. octopi and squids) are underexploited. The Fishery sector has the potential of about USD 5 billion for the Blue Economy in Kenya. Crab fishery in Kenya is active in some areas of the south and north coast. The crab resources along the Kenyan waters are diverse and a variety of species are edible. The most commonly fished crab by artisanal fishers is the Mangrove Mud Crab Scylla serrata. Semi-commercial and industrial fishers usually have portunid and other deep sea crabs as by-catch in trawl and longline fisheries, which in many cases are unutilized. Exports of live crabs have increased over the years, with exports mainly to Asian countries. Export of frozen crabs started recently. The need to sustainably utilize lake, river and ocean resources is recognized and important in promoting Blue Economy. Sustainable development of crab fishery provides a potential area for the Blue Economy development in Kenya. Research is essential to crab fishery development.
