Assessment of grouper and snapper fisheries with EAFM approach and sustainable strategy management in Sumbawa-Indonesia

Abstract

The utilization of grouper and snapper resources in Teluk Cempi, Teluk Waworada and the waters of Sape has not been carried out in a sustainable manner, so it is feared that it will interfere with stock availability and the sustainability of grouper and snapper fishery resources. This study aims to assess the status of management and policy strategies for sustainable grouper and snapper fisheries resource management. The data was collected by using a structured interview technique using a questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion, and public consultation. Analysis of the status of grouper and snapper fisheries resources using the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) indicator. The results showed that the condition of grouper and snapper fisheries management is classified as “Less” with an aggregate score 39.6. Sustainable grouper and snapper fisheries management strategies can be carried out through several efforts, including: regulating the allowable quota and fishing time, arrangement of fishing gear, development of artificial coral reef technology and mangrove rehabilitation controlling water quality, optimizing the use of selective fishing gear, livelihood alternatives, management working groups, development for facilities and infrastructure for fisheries supervisors and strengthen institutions (Pokmaswas), knowledge, attitude and practices assistance to fishing communities and formulation of management plan.

Minimum legal size of commercially important groupers in the Coral Triangle Sulawesi Sea, Indonesia

“…For Plectropomus leopardus, the reported Lm50 ranged from 31.56 cm (Kapopposang Marine Tourism Park [20]) to 47.78 cm TL (Kei island [20]), with the Kwandang Bay population being the second smallest, around 14 cm less than in the waters around Kei Island and around 9 cm less than in Sumbawa. The Lm50 for V. albimarginata in Kwandang Bay was very close to that reported from Saleh Bay [40] but smaller by around 4 cm than that from Sumbawa Island [41]. The Lm50 of V. louti in Kwandang Bay was considerably smaller by around 7 cm than that reported from Sumbawa [41].…”

The Lm50 of V. louti in Kwandang Bay was considerably smaller by around 7 cm than that reported from Sumbawa [41]. The only other site with data on all three species is Sumbawa, where the Lm50 values were considerably larger than in Kwandang Bay for all three species.…”

Species Composition and Growth Pattern of a Multi-Species Grouper in Kwandang Bay, Sulawesi Sea, Indonesia

“…The declining trend of the catches in Kwandang Bay is consistent with the reports from some other fishing grounds in Indonesia, such as Bangka Island (Adibrata et al, 2018), Saleh Bay (Efendi et al, 2020), Takabonerate National Park Waters (Fatma et al, 2021), and Sumbawa (Hilyana et al, 2021). Other groupers producing countries also reported similar trends (Kaunda-Arara et al, 2003;McClenachan, 2009;Giglio et al, 2014;Mavruk, 2020).…”

Social, economic and institutional study of purse seine fisheries based on the ecosystem approach in the Fishing Port of Kutaraja, Banda Aceh

“…However, the implementation of these customary rules is not effective yet because some fishermen do not fully understand about customary law. The same thing also happened to fishermen in Sumbawa in grouper and snapper fisheries, they have not utilized local knowledge for fish resource management efforts [21]. As a result, it can reduce the essence of local knowledge itself.…”
