South Pacific Commission BP D5 98848 Noumea Cedex New Caledonia Tel.: (687) 26 20 00 Fax: (687) 26 38 18 e-mail: [email protected] http://www.spc.org.nc/ Prepared at South Pacific Commission headquarters, Noumea, New Caledonia, 1998 iii SUMMARY The South Pacific Commission's Deep Sea Fisheries Development Project (DSFDP) visited Papua New Guinea for the second time between 23 January and 2 May 1982, under the supervision of SPC Masterfisherman Tevita Fusimalohi. The Project operated around Port Moresby, Samarai Island and Manus Island, conducting a survey and training programme in deep-bottom dropline fishing. Most fishing effort was devoted to deep- bottom droplining in depths up to 300 m, principal target species being deep-water snappers of the family Lutjanidae. Catch records with the species composition of the catch were kept in two locations, Port Moresby and Manus Island, however, only records showing the total catch were kept for fishing activities conducted around Samarai Island. The total deep-bottom dropline catch had a combined weight of 1,460.1 kg, of which better than 80 per cent was locally saleable. The deep-bottom catch included an adequate proportion of high-value species and no ciguatoxicity was noted. Catch rates recorded for deep-bottom fishing ranged from 2.6 kg/reel hour at Port Moresby, and 3.0 kg/reel hour at Samarai Island, to 5.2 kg/reel hour at Manus Island. The overall deep-bottom catch rate was 4.0 kg/reel hour. These catch rates compare well with results recorded by the DSFDP elsewhere in the Pacific and indicate the presence of profitably exploitable deep-bottom stocks. The commercial development of the fishery appears likely to be hampered by a number of logistical, marketing and geographic restraints. This report includes some recommendations considered important for the successful progress of provincial fisheries development programmes. v RÉSUMÉ Sous la direction du maître de pêche Tevita Fusimalohi, des agents de la Commission du Pacifique Sud ont séjourné, pour la deuxième fois, du 23 janvier au 2 mai 1982, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, dans le cadre du projet de développement de la pêche au demi-large. Les activités menées au titre du projet, en particulier une campagne d'évaluation et un programme de formation à la pêche à la ligne à main par grandes profondeurs, se sont déroulées au large de Port- Moresby, de l'île de Samarai et de l'île de Manus. Elles ont consisté pour l'essentiel à pêcher à la ligne à main par des fonds pouvant atteindre 300 mètres, en ciblant les lutjanidés profonds. Des relevés de prises faisant apparaître la composition par espèce ont été tenus sur deux sites, à Port-Moresby et à Manus; en revanche, les relevés faits à Samarai ne donnaient que le volume total des prises. En tout, 1 460,10 kg de poisson ont été capturés à la palangre au grand fond, dont plus de 80 pour cent étaient commercialisables sur le marché local. Au nombre de ces prises figurait une proportion non négligeable d'espèces à valeur marchande élevée et aucun cas de ciguatera n'a été relevé. Les taux de prises enregistrés pour la pêche au grand fond ont varié de 2,6 kg/moulinet/heure à Port-Moresby et de 3 kg/moulinet/heure à Samarai à 5,2 kg/moulinet/heure à Manus. Le taux de prises global de ces opérations de pêche au grand fond a été de 4 kg/moulinet/heure. Ces taux de capture soutiennent favorablement la comparaison avec les résultats enregistrés ailleurs dans le Pacifique dans le cadre du projet; en outre, ils démontrent la présence de stocks de poissons de grand fond qui peuvent faire l'objet d'une exploitation rentable. Le développement de la pêche commerciale risque, semble-t-il, de se heurter à un certain nombre de difficultés liées à la logistique, à la commercialisation et à la géographie. Ce rapport comporte certaines recommandations considérées comme importantes pour la réussite de la mise en œuvre des programmes de développement de la pêche dans les provinces. vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The South Pacific Commission gratefully acknowledges the friendly support and co-operation offered by the many individuals and organisations associated with the Deep Sea Fisheries Development Project's stay in three locations around Papua New Guinea. Particular thanks are due to the skippers and crew of the three vessels used by the project, for their hard work and dedication to the project, which added to its success. ix CONTENTS Page 1.

INTRODUCTION The South Pacific Commission's Deep Sea Fisheries Development (DSFD) Project is a mobile village-level rural development project which operates in Pacific Island nations at specific Government request, and which has the following broad objectives: – To promote the development or expansion of artisanal fisheries throughout the region, based on fishery resources which are at present under-utilised, in particular the deep bottom resources of the outer reef slope; – To develop and evaluate new simple technology, fishing gear and techniques suitable for use by village fishermen, which will enable fishermen to substantially increase catches while reducing dependence on costly imported fuels; and – To provide practical training in appropriate fishing techniques to local fishermen and government fisheries extension workers. The Project has operated in Papua New Guinea on one previous occasions. The 1979 visit was based at Kimbe, West New Britain (Fusimalohi & Crossland, 1980). This visit involved the surveying and assessment of deep-bottom fish resources along the outer reef slopes, and the demonstration of appropriate gear and fishing techniques to promote the artisanal exploitation of this resource. The current visit was conducted between 23 January and 2 May 1982, under the supervision of SPC Masterfisherman Tevita Fusimalohi. The visit followed a request of SPC by the Government of Papua New Guinea for assistance in conducting surveys of deep-bottom fish resources at specific sites. A further major aim was to promote the development of the local deep-bottom fishery through the demonstration of appropriate gear and techniques to personnel of the Department of Primary Industry's Fisheries Division, and to interested local fishermen where possible. The Project's operational bases were established at Port Moresby, Lorengau (Manus Island) and Samarai Island. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 General Papua New Guinea (Figure 1) has a land area of some 476,500 sq km comprising the eastern half of the New Guinea mainland, the Bismarck Archipelago (Manus, New Ireland and New Britain), Bougainville and Buka. Hundreds of smaller islands lie within PNG's borders, scattered across the Bismarck, Solomon and Coral Seas. The central core of the mainland is a massive cordillera interspersed with wide valleys at altitudes up to 1,800 m. Alluvium derived from active mountain erosion is deposited extensively in the broad, swampy Sepik River Basin and the low, swampy plain of the Fly River and Gulf of Papua. New Britain, New Ireland and Bougainville are part of high island arcs. 2 Figure 1: Papua New Guinea, showing areas fished during this visit Tropical rain-forest covers about three-quarters of the country. The remainder is covered in savannah, grassland and swamps. Some 97 per cent of all land is held under customary tenure and part of this is used for subsistence agriculture (much of it on a shifting or rotational basis). Cash crops include copra, coffee, rubber, palm oil and tea, grown on smallholdings and on plantations. There is some forestry. Except in high altitudes the climate is tropical with uniformly high temperatures and regular heavy rainfall. PNG is one of the largest constantly wet areas in the world and rainfall in some areas ranges up to 5,000 mm annually.

  • Japanese Southward Expansion in the South Seas and Its Relations with Japanese Settlers in Papua and New Guinea, 1919-1940"
    "Japanese Southward Expansion in the South Seas and its Relations with Japanese Settlers in Papua and New Guinea, 1919-1940" 著者 "IWAMOTO Hiromitsu" journal or 南太平洋研究=South Pacific Study publication title volume 17 number 1 page range 29-81 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10232/55 South Pacific Study Vol. 17, No. 1, 1996 29 Japanese Southward Expansion in the South Seas and its Relations with Japanese Settlers in Papua and New Guinea, 1919-1940 1) Hiromitsu IWAMOTO Abstract Japanese policies toward nan'yo (the South Seas) developed rapidly in the inter-war period (1919-1940). After the invasion in China in the early 1930s, trade-oriented nanshin (southward advancement) policies gradually gained aggressiveness, as the military began to influence making foreign policies. Behind this change, nanshin-ron (southward advancement theory) advocates provided ideological justification for the Japanese territorial expansion in the South Seas. In these circumstances, Japanese settlers in Papua and New Guinea were put in a peculiar position: the emergence of militaristic Japan probably stimulated their patriotism but it also endangered their presence because they were in the colony of Australia－the nation that traditionally feared invasion from the north. However, as the Australian government continued to restrict Japanese migration, numerically their presence became marginal. But, unproportional to their population, economically they prospered and consolidated their status as 'masters'(although not quite equal to their white counterparts) in the Australian colonial apparatus. In this paper, I shall analyse how this unique presence of the Japanese settlers developed, examining its relations with the Japanese expansion in the South Seas and the Australian policies that tried to counter the expansion.

  • Marsupials and Rodents of the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea Front Cover: a Recently Killed Specimen of an Adult Female Melomys Matambuai from Manus Island
    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number xxx352 2 dayNovember month 20172014 TITLE TIMES NEW ROMAN BOLD 18 PT. MARSUPIALS AND RODENTS OF THE ADMIRALTY ISLANDS, PAPUA NEW GUINEA Front cover: A recently killed specimen of an adult female Melomys matambuai from Manus Island. Photograph courtesy of Ann Williams. MARSUPIALS AND RODENTS OF THE ADMIRALTY ISLANDS, PAPUA NEW GUINEA RONALD H. PINE, ANDREW L. MACK, AND ROBERT M. TIMM ABSTRACT We provide the first account of all non-volant, non-marine mammals recorded, whether reliably, questionably, or erroneously, from the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea. Species recorded with certainty, or near certainty, are the bandicoot Echymipera cf. kalubu, the wide- spread cuscus Phalanger orientalis, the endemic (?) cuscus Spilocuscus kraemeri, the endemic rat Melomys matambuai, a recently described species of endemic rat Rattus detentus, and the commensal rats Rattus exulans and Rattus rattus. Species erroneously reported from the islands or whose presence has yet to be confirmed are the rats Melomys bougainville, Rattus mordax, Rattus praetor, and Uromys neobrittanicus. Included additional specimens to those previously reported in the literature are of Spilocuscus kraemeri and two new specimens of Melomys mat- ambuai, previously known only from the holotype and a paratype, and new specimens of Rattus exulans. The identity of a specimen previously thought to be of Spilocuscus kraemeri and said to have been taken on Bali, an island off the coast of West New Britain, does appear to be of that species, although this taxon is generally thought of as occurring only in the Admiralties and vicinity. Summaries from the literature and new information are provided on the morphology, variation, ecology, and zoogeography of the species treated.

    Yacht-Style Cruising PanacheCruises.com Elite Ocean, River, Expedition, and Yacht-Style Cruising Dear Friend Yacht-Style cruising is becoming the fastest growing sector of the cruise industry. From the traditional feel of SeaDream I and II to the ultra-modern private yacht ambience of Scenic Eclipse, including its 2 helicopters and 1 submarine, this popular niche of cruising is set to grow exponentially during the 2020’s. This relatively unknown part of the cruise market even includes ships with sails, including the new to market Tradewind Voyages, the largest square-rigged sailing vessel in the world. Individual attentive service, up to 3 times the space per passenger versus the newest mega-cruise ships, more intimate and immersive itineraries calling at less visited ports, along with the finest cuisine at sea, are some of the attractive elements of a yacht-style cruise. Itinerary diversity is also a focus of yacht-style cruises from exploring some of 1,300 islands on the Adriatic coast, to immersing yourself in lands of pristine beauty and breath-taking wildlife down in Antarctica or perhaps explore some of the most beautiful and undiscovered beaches of the world. Many of our Yacht-style cruise line partners include almost everything in the price you pay, flights, transfers, excursions, food, drinks, gratuities and much more tend to be included in your initial price, so you could be tempted just to leave your wallet at home. So, whether you fancy living the life of a billionaire for a week or more onboard a sleek mega-yacht, or you’d like to take the wheel and experience the awesome sensation of helming a ship under full sail, then read on and find out more about the world of yacht-style cruising.
