Status of small-scale tuna fisheries at Haruo Village, Central Maluku Regency

Abstract

The Haruo Village is one of the villages situated in Central Maluku Regency. This village is one of the most populous villages that have the livelihood of being tuna fishermen. All the fishermen from this village are considered mostly small-scale fishermen. The study was conducted between July to September 2020 to assess the sustainability of small-scale tuna fishery and proposed sustainable management strategy. Rapfish analysis was used to analyze small-scale tuna sustainability status and DPSIR to proposed a sustainable management strategy. The result showed that fair trade gave benefit in terms of ecology, socio-economy, and institutional towards the small-scale tuna fisheries compared to non-fair trade in terms of the socio-economy aspect. The sustainable status of small-scale tuna fishery, in general, was considered sustain (74.52%) for fair trade approach and less sustain (51.72%) for non-fair trade. The institutional dimension from non-fair trade tuna fishery was the lowest one (24.68%) and was considered unsustain. Based on the DPSIR approach, eight strategies management plans were proposed for sustainable management of small-scale tuna fishery in Haruo Village. The strategy can be applied at Driver (D), Pressure (P), State (S), and Impact (I) level.

The Small-Scale Tuna Fisheries at Yaholu Village, Central Maluku Regency, Indonesia

“…The information confirms that tuna fisheries are a potential and profitable resource that drives people in many countries to exploit the fish extensively. Some studies have revealed a decrease in tuna fiaheries in some areas [28,29,30]. Based on the potency of tuna fishery as a driving force and the tuna fishermen as a pressure , then conceptual model based on DPSIR was consructed to propose a management strategy for sustainable small-scale tuna fishery (Figure 4).…”

“…This could be done through an international organization to ensure better conservation management and to achieve sustainable management of that fishery [2,3]. 1207 (2023) 012001 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1207/1/012001 2 Indonesian tuna fishery gives a quite considerable contribution to the fishing industry of Indonesia as well as to world fisheries [4]. The tuna resources are still under high pressure on a global scale.…”

Sustainability status of small-scale fisheries resources in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia after reclamation

“…Based on the problems mentioned above, this study aims to determine the sustainability status of small-scale fisheries (below 10 GT) after the reclamation closure in Jakarta Bay. Parameters involved in determining the sustainability status are taken from multiple dimensions such as capture fisheries resources, economy, ecology or environment, social, legal and institutional (Fauzi andAnna 2002, 2005;Nababan et al 2007;Fauzi 2019;Tetelepta et al 2021). In the after reclamation sustainability analysis, the RAPFISH (rapid appraisal for Fisheries) model was developed by a team from the University of British Columbia and FAO (Pitcher 1999;Pitcher and Preikshot 2001;Anna 2003;Kavanagh and Pitcher 2004;Anna and Fauzi 2007;Fauzi 2019).…”

Fisheries management in Indonesia using RAPFISH has been carried out by various methods, such as the sustainability status of smallscale tuna fisheries (Tetelepta et al 2021), sustainability study of household-scale fisheries (Hartati et al 2021), sustainability status for reef fisheries management (Kurnia et al 2021), sustainability status for hammerhead shark (Anna et al 2020), sustainability status of fisheries in the vicinity of tin mining area (Ramadona et al 2020). This method is not only used in Indonesia, but other countries as well, such as Iran (Allahyari 2010), India (Adiga et al 2015), Brazil (Jimenez et al 2021), and Chile (Milagros et al 2021).…”
