“…Several comparisons and tests conducted by researchers regarding the application of fishing technology [25] yielded the same or almost the same conclusions that with mastery of access to technology [26], a large enough catch by a group in the fishing community in the form of ownership, capital as well as businesses in this field, causing the level of mobilization of the use of technology they have, having many choices regarding fishing ground areas [27] including areas that actually can only be used by traditional fishermen due to the limited technology they have they can enter as competitors to compete for resources-capture fisheries.…”

Maros Regency is an area that has potential coastal resources. The social interaction of fishing communities in the coastal regions of Maros Regency is relatively high in the effort to utilize fishery resources. This is marked by the various fishing gear used by fishers, so the phenomenon of fisherman conflict becomes a social process that also colours the social interactions of these fishing groups. Differences in resource utilization and management methods can trigger social conflicts between fishers involving other stakeholder components. This study aims to analyze the types and forms of conflicts in the use of coastal resources that occur in the coastal areas of Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The methods used are observation, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with qualitative data analysis to describe the types and forms of conflicts in the use of coastal resources, and quantitatively with spatial analysis methods using Geographic Information System (GIS) applications to analyze conflict locations. The results showed that the types of fishing conflicts in the Maros Regency’s coastal areas were agrarian conflicts, class conflicts, technological conflicts, and conflicts of perception. The forms of conflict in the use of natural resources (including fishery resources) are horizontal conflicts (traditional fishers and klitik net fishermen) with semi-modern fishermen (cantrang fishermen) and vertical conflicts (semi-modern fishermen and cantrang fishers) with the government ( Maros District Fisheries Service, Camat and Village Heads, both open (manifest) and closed (latent).

“…The heterogenization of the marine catch was driven by fish with smaller size and living in the upper water in the earlier period, but in the latter period, it was driven by fish with bigger size and living in the deeper water. These may be explained by changes in fishing technologies, it's known that the trawl net has long been the most important fishing gear, accounting for almost half of China's marine fish catch, but amounts of non-target species and juveniles of target species are caught by trawls because of their lack of selectively, which seriously affects fishery resources 35 , thus we assume that the overfishing by extensive use of trawl cause the composition of marine catch rapidly change in the earlier period. But with the increase in human demand for the marine catch, gill-net, and stow-net are been widely used and became important fishing gear in the latter period (Supplementary Fig.…”

“…But with the increase in human demand for the marine catch, gill-net, and stow-net are been widely used and became important fishing gear in the latter period (Supplementary Fig. 7), and the minimum mesh size, particularly gillnet, is generally large than trawl-net 35 , along with the growth of shipping industries, leading to the resource depletion of fish with bigger size and living in the deep water.…”

Marine fishery biodiversity is crucial for sustainable food supply to billions of people, yet it has been severely damaged by a long history of overexploitation. Although local marine species diversity in response to anthropogenic change has been intensively studied, however, the trajectories of marine catch assemblages at larger temporal and spatial scales remain elusive. Here, we use data collected from the China Fishery Statistical Yearbook that spans 37 years (1983-2019) to systemically and quantitatively assess the trajectory change of marine catch assemblages and the drivers. We found that both species taxa and the structure has undergone two distinguish periods (1983-2002 versus 2003-2019), and the composition of marine catch experienced rapid temporal heterogenization for both occurrence and abundance-based dissimilarity over about past four decades, but the rate of the change has slowed in the latter two decades. Importantly, the fish species with a smaller size and living in the upper water may drive the heterogenization in the earlier two decades. Conversely, the fish with a bigger size and living in the deeper water may drive the heterogenization in the latter two decades. These findings can help to identify species that urgently need more effective fishing strategies, and incorporate them into future marine conservation and fisheries management decisions to rebuild sustainable marine fishery stocks.

“…According to the FAO standard, stow nets, one of the most widely used gears in China, were categorized under 'traps' (Shen & Heino, 2014). Since previous studies have demonstrated varied targeting behaviours between major fishing gears in China (trawls, stow nets and gillnets) (Wang et al, 2022), we therefore considered gear category as a vital variable in the data synthesis and hypothesized that there would be a gear-effect related to selectivity and occurrence of mixed fisheries.…”

Fishing selectivity describes the process of catching primarily target species of a specific size and minimizing non-target catch (Fauconnet & Rochet, 2016). Selective fishing has been widely appreciated by fisheries practitioners for numerous observed benefits. Economically, targeting commercially valuable species is profitable (Breen et al., 2016). From a conservation perspective, selective fishing can minimize non-target catch and reduce negative fishing impacts to marine ecosystems (FAO, 1995(FAO, , 2010. On the other hand, fisheries
