The conclusions and the recommendations given in the report are those considered appropriate at the time of its preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the project. The designations employed and the presentation of the material and maps in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. iii ABSTRACT Three acoustic survey cruises were carried out in the Sangihe and Talaud Archipelagos of the North Sulawesi Province from April 1982 to May 1983. Standing fish biomass for the area around Sangihe was estimated at maximum 58 539 metric tonnes and for the Talaud shelf area at 17 881 tonnes during the relatively strong southeast monsoon. Estimates obtained for the same areas during the calm monsoon (April-May) were extremely low, i.e.,1 463 and 169 tonnes, respectively. Corresponding measurements of biomass densities ranged from about 5 to 50 tin mi 2 • There is strong evidence in the data to suggest that the observed variability in the obtained estimates is caused by natural factors, such as changes in fish behaviour and migratory movements of the fish in and out from the area covered by the survey. Apparently, the most useful measurements of the target stocks can be achieved during the strong monsoon, when relatively large fish concentrations are detected and the biomass is mostly distributed in midwater and thus well exposed for acou9tic measurements. The report also describes the survey methods, discusses the results and emphasizes the need for further research effort, in particular to (a) study in greater detail the causes and characteristics of the seasonal/ annual fluctuations in observed biomass, and (b) develop more effective means and methods for identification of the fish species of the surveyed biomass. v TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • 14. Neolithic Dispersal Implications of Murids from Late Holocene Archaeological and Modern Natural Deposits 225
    14 Neolithic dispersal implications of murids from late Holocene archaeological and modern natural deposits in the Talaud Islands, northern Sulawesi Julien Louys, Michael Herrera, Stuart Hawkins, Ken Aplin, Christian Reepmeyer, Felicitas Hopf, Stephen C. Donnellan, Sue O’Connor and Daud A. Tanudirjo Abstract The Sangihe-Talaud Archipelago represents a group of 77 remote islands located between the Philippines and North Sulawesi, in the northern sector of Wallacea. The Talaud Islands have a rich and significant archaeological record going back to the Pleistocene and are instrumental in understanding Pleistocene colonisation of small islands and later models of Austronesian language dispersal. Here we report on vertebrate material excavated from Leang Mande’et, a late Holocene rockshelter on Karakelang, the main island in the Talaud group. The site represents a periodically occupied shelter used for gardening. Fauna recovered predominately comprises murid elements, with at least four taxa (Rattus rattus, Rattus exulans and two Melomys species) found. The rodents show clear signs of being deposited by raptors rather than humans, unlike the small number of fish remains also recovered. DNA sequences from several Rattus rattus specimens are referrable to Rattus rattus complex lineage IV, a lineage with a southern Indochinese origins and broad modern representation through Indonesia and the Philippines. The lack of any Rattus rattus complex lineage II from Leang Mande’et suggests that the first agricultural inhabitants of this island did not come from Taiwan or northern Indochina, but rather that they either originated from the south or that, once established in the Talauds, opened up significant trade networks to the south and in the process acquired a significant pest.

  • Archaeological Research in Minahasa and the Talaud Islands, Northeastern Indonesia
    Archaeological Research in Minahasa and the Talaud Islands, Northeastern Indonesia Received 30 June 1975 PETER BELLWOOD HE archaeological work described in this paper was undertaken by the author with the Indonesian archaeologist 1. M. Sutayasa in the Indonesian province T of Sulawesi Utara (northern Sulawesi). The two districts within the province which received most attention were Minahasa (the northern tip of Sulawesi) and the Talaud Islands. This report deals mainly with the results from excavations on four major sites, one in Minahasa and three in Talaud. It is from these four sites that a prehistoric sequence going back 8000 years can be reconstructed with some precision. The province of Sulawesi Utara was chosen for research because of its strategic position: the Sangihe-Talaud Islands and Minahasa are located in a junction-zone between the island chains of the Philippines, northern Indonesia (Borneo, Sulawesi, and Halmahera), and western Micronesia and Melanesia. While the region remained archaeologically blank before our work, with the exception of brief mentions by Beyer (1947: 346-347) and van Heekeren (1972: 170), good sequences extending back into Pleistocene times were available for a number of surrounding areas. These included the Niah Cave in Sarawak (Harrisson 1970), the Tabon Caves on Palawan (Fox 1970), the caves in eastern Timor excavated by Glover (1972), and, with less certainty, the Toalean region of southwestern Sulawesi (van Heekeren 1972; Glover 1975). In Melanesia, a detailed sequence extending back into Pleistocene times was available for the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (Bulmer 1975), and the wide­ spread Lapita ceramics of the period 1500 B.C.

  • The Diversity of Plankton in Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia
    112 Biosfera 27(3) September 2010 The Diversity of Plankton in Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia Hikmah Thoha and Nurul Fitriya Plankton and Primary Productivity, Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences,Jl. Pasir Putih No.1, , Ancol Timur, Jakarta 14430, Telp : 62 -21 – 64713850, Fax : 62 -21 – 64711948, E-mail : [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract The research of Oceanographical Expedition was conducted on May 2009. Research Vessel of Baruna Jaya VIII was used to accommodate the research team, which is a part of the EWIN ( Widya Nusantara Expedition) project with a topic of discovering the ultimate frontier of Indonesia and strengthening our national resilience, such as survival, energy, and natural resources, food, disaster, and health. This paper shows plankton research with environment studies, such as temperature and salinity. Plankton was sampled using Kitahara Net with mesh size of 80 µm for phytoplankton and Norpac Plankton Net with mesh size of 300 µm for zooplankton. The sample was poured into a bottle with formalin of 4% as preservative from 13 stations. The results showed that the phytoplanktons consist of 22 diatom genera and 10 dinoflagellates. The phytoplankton abundance was due the flourishing of Chaetoceros sp., Rhizosolenia sp., Nitzschia sp., and Thalassiothrix sp. Ceratium sp. and Protoperidinium sp., Pyrocystis sp., and Cyanobacteria Trichodesmium sp. were common among the dinoflagellates. The zooplanktons consist of 30 taxa, the group of which are mostly composed of Copepoda, Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Oikopleura, and Chaetognata. Environmental studies were also discussed. Key words: diversity, phytoplankton, zooplankton, Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands Introduction The district of Sangihe is located in Northern Sulawesi Island of Central Indonesia bioregion.

  • Population Sizes and the Conservation Status of Endemic and Restricted-Range Bird Species on Karakelang, Talaud Islands, Indonesia
    Bird Conservation International (2003) 13:59–74. BirdLife International 2003 DOI: 10.1017/S0959270903003058 Printed in the United Kingdom Population sizes and the conservation status of endemic and restricted-range bird species on Karakelang, Talaud Islands, Indonesia JON RILEY Summary Karakelang, largest of the Talaud Islands, Indonesia, was visited in 1999 with the aim of producing population estimates of globally threatened and Restricted-range bird species. Density estimates were calculated from primary forest and secondary habitats using the variable circular plot method. Eight of the nine restricted-range or threatened species resident on Karakelang were recorded and density estimates calculated for five of these. Two species of rail are endemic to Karakelang, Talaud Bush-hen Amaurornis magnirostris and Talaud Rail Gymnocrex talaudensis. The bush-hen was encountered in secondary habitat but occurred at higher densities in primary forest and the estimated population was 2,350–9,560 birds. The less vocal, cryptic G. talaudensis was noted just twice, in primary forest close to rivers. Both have small populations, are threatened by habitat degradation, hunting, and possibly predation by introduced rats and should be classified as threatened. Population densities of the Endangered, endemic Red-and-blue Lory Eos histrio had remained stable since the last survey in 1997. They occurred at higher densities in primary forest, but were also common in human-made habitats. The estimated population was 8,230–21,400 birds, threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the wild bird trade. Although more commonly encountered in forest, the Near Threatened Blue-naped Parrot Tanygnathus lucionensis was found at higher densities in secondary habitats, and the population was estimated at 8,130–20,700 birds.
