Sharks is the dominant bycatch of purse seine and bottom longline vessels that landed in Kutaraja ocean fishing port, particularly pelagic thresher shark species (Alopias pelagicus). The management of shark fisheries  in Aceh water is not well implemented.  According to the IUCN red list, the pelagic thresher shark has been classified as an endangered species. The capture and trade of pelagic thresher sharks are regulated by CITES (Appendix II). So that Indonesia has to comply with the procedures of CITES due to it has been adopted through the Decree of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia Number 61/PERMEN-KP/2018. However, the exploitation and trading of the A. pelagicus continues and is not properly managed. It will threaten the extinction of the pelagic thresher shark population and in terms of a negative image of fisheries management in Indonesia, in particular.  Thus, integrated management such as the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) is needed to solve this problem. This study aims to evaluate the fisheries management status of the pelagic thresher shark based on EAFM indicator of fish resources domain, focusing in the Kutaraja ocean fishing port. This research was conducted by field measurement and interviews with key stakeholders. Data were analyzed using a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) approach through development of a composite index. The results showed that the trend of CPUE  tends to fluctuate in the last 5 years. The total length of the sharks was relatively constant. The proportion of juvenile pelagic thresher sharks was 16% male, and 28% (female), and the shark was bycatch (1%) of the purse seine fishery, the fishing ground was getting further away and seemed to go close to the shark habitat.  Based on this assessment, one could conclude that shark's fishery resources were in 'good' category, however, some indicators need to improve through better fisheries management actions. Keywords: EAFM; Alopias pelagicus; pelagic thresher shark; Kutaraja ocean fishing port

The problem of pollution that occurs in the aquatic environment is getting out of control and causes the degradation of fishery resources which are important for humans. One of the pollutants from industrial activities is heavy metal. There are various kinds of heavy metals, mercury (Hg) is the most dangerous heavy metal. Mercury (Hg) enters directly into the waters through rainwater and leaching the soil and river flows which are then absorbed and metabolized by microorganisms. Mercury (Hg) is difficult to degrade from the body, because mercury (Hg) is actively involved in the food chain. Microorganisms feed molluscs, crustaceans and fish which are a source of protein for humans. Mercury (Hg) toxicity in fish can result in a stress response in fish which results in impaired growth, immune system, and changes in tissue structure. This brief review aimed to enrich the scientific repertoire of the toxicity of mercury (Hg) in fish and its effects on humans. This review was a non-experimental research by conducting research around the literature

Background.The attitude and belief of groom and bride candidates on exclusive breastfeeding were still low. Objective.This study aimed at examining the effect of exclusive breastfeeding module on the attitude and belief of groom and bride candidates at Tarakan City. Method.
