Tuna is one of the important export commodities to increase government income. One of economically important tuna species is bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) which has a proportion of 21% of the total production of large tuna group. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different moon phase on the catch of bigeye tuna (T. obesus) in Eastern Indian Ocean. Data collection was conducted by the scientific observers from August 2005 to June 2014 in the tuna longline vessels were based in the port of Benoa, Bali. Moon phase data were collected from August 2005 to June 2014 from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Catch data were calculated using the catch rate formula which defined as the number of catches per 100 hooks. The number of catch rate then was sorted into each moon phases and were analyzed using one-way Anova. This study covered 62 trips and 1,480 numbers of operations or sets was conducted from sampled vessels. The result showed that the average catch rate of bigeye tuna differed significantly among the moon phases. Tukey post-hoc tests showed that the average catch rate at full moon was the highest among the groups with around 0.3/100 hooks. This study showed that moon phase had significant effect on the catch of bigeye tuna (T. obesus) that increased the catch during full moon.

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is one of the commercially important pelagic species that caught mostly in the eastern Indian Ocean. This species prefers to stay close, and is usually below the thermocline layer. Remotely sensed data was used to determine the characteristics of Bigeye tuna fishing areas at a depth of 155 meter. Fishing vessels for Bigeye tuna were obtained from vessel monitoring systems (VMS) from January through December, 2015-2016. Daily data on sub-surface temperature (SST), sub-surface chlorophyll-a concentration (SSC), and sub-surface salinity (SSS) were obtained from the INDESO Project website. All oceanographic parameter data were selected at a depth of 155 m. The position of Bigeye tuna and oceanographic data were then grouped into 2 group monsoon, southeast monsoon (April – September) and northwest monsoon (October – March). The results showed that, during the southeast and northwest monsoon, Bigeye tuna mostly found in SSC of 0.03 – 0.05 mg/m3, SST of 16° - 18°C and salinity of 34 psu. These results showed that at depth of 155 m, Bigeye Tuna prefers to stay in small chl-a (0.03 – 0.04 mg/m3), low SST (16° - 18°C) and salinity of 34 psu. These information were essential and could be used to support fisheries management decisions especially for Bigeye Tuna in the eastern Indian Ocean.

Kepadatan stok ikan merupakan indikasi dari potensi perikanan di suatu wilayah yang sangat penting diketahui. Tujuan tulisan ini membahas tentang laju tangkap, kepadatan stok dan perkiraan biomassa ikan demersal serta udang. Penelitian sumber daya ikan demersal dan udang di Samudera Hindia Barat Sumatera dilakukan dengan menggunakan Kapal Riset Baruna Jaya IV (1.200 GT) pada bulan Oktober dan November 2015 (Musim peralihan II). Penghitungan kepadatan stok menggunakan metode sweept area dengan panjang tali ris atas dari jaring trawl 36 m, kecepatan kapal saat menarik jaring berkisar 2,5 – 3 knot, lama penarikan jaring maksimal 1 jam. Perairan Samudera Hindia Barat Sumatera terdiri dari 151 spesies yang tergolong dalam 59 famili. Famili ikan demersal yang dominan tertangkap (5 besar), yaitu Leiognathidae sebesar 23,6 %, Trichiuridae 9,8%, Haemulidae 8,0%,  Engraulididae 6,6%, dan Polynemidae 6,05%. Famili udang yaitu Penaeidae (79,08%), Scyllaridae 19,49%, dan Solenoceridae 1,43%. Rata-rata laju tangkap ikan demersal 205,80 kg/jam, dengan kepadatan stok 6,66 ton/km2 dan udang 2,30 kg/jam dengan kepadatan stok 0,053 ton/km2. Biomassa ikan demersal diperkirakan sebesar 470.122 ton dan udang 3.706 ton.  Fish stock density  is an index of stock abundance indicating the fish resources potential in a region.  This paper discusses the catch rate, stock density and biomass estimates of the demersal fish and shrimp resources. Research on the demersal fish and shrimp resources in the Indian Ocean-Western Sumatera conducted using the Research Vessel Baruna Jaya IV (1200 GT) carried out during  October and November 2015 (2nd intermonsoon season). Stock density was estimated through the swept area method. The trawl used has 36 m headrope, trawling speed of 2.5 - 3 knots, and maximum towing time was 1 hour. It was found that the fish resources in the waters of the Indian Ocean-Western Sumatera consisted of 151 species belonging to 59 families. The top five dominant fish families caught were Leiognathidae of 23.6%, Trichiuridae 9.8%, Haemulidae 8.0%, Engraulididae 6.6%, and Polynemidae 6.05%, while the shrimp families were Penaeidae of 79.08%, Scyllaridae 19.49%, and Solenoceridae 1.43%. The average catch rate of demersal fish was 205.80 kg/hour, with a stock density of 6.66 tons/km2 and shrimp of 2.30 kg/hour with a stock density of 5.3 kgs/km2. The estimated biomass of demersal fish was  470,122 tons and shrimp was 3,706 tons.

Feeding habit of tuna in Indian Ocean has been described around Sri Lanka, Indian Waters, Andaman Sea, western Indian Ocean (<em>Seychelles Islands</em>), western equatorial Indian Ocean whereas the tunas feeding habit study in Eastern Indian Oceanis merely in existence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stomach content of three tuna species (bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, and skipjack tuna), apex predator in the southern part of Eastern Indian Ocean. The study was conducted in March – April, 2010 on the basis of catches of commercial tuna longline vessel based in Port of Benoa. A total of 53 individual fishes were collected, consisting of bigeye tuna (<em>Thunnus obesus</em>), yellowfin tuna (<em>Thunnus albacores</em>), and skipjack tuna (<em>Katsuwonus</em> <em>pelamis</em>). Stomach specimens were collected and analyzed.Analysis was conducted on the basis of index of preponderance method. The diet of the three tuna species showed fishes as the main diet (56–82%), followed by cephalopods (squids) as the complementary diet (0–8%), and crustaceans (shrimps) as the additional diet (2–4%). Fish prey composed of 6 families i.e. Alepisauridae, Bramidae, Carangidae, Clupeidae, Engraulidae, and Scombridae.
