The goal of these reviews is to make more readily accessible to policymakers and researchers alike the broad range of available information relevant to their individual and programmatic needs. By reviewing published and unpublished materials, these studies draw attention both to what is known and to critical -.gaps in understanding- which require research.The first of thesecountry-specific reviews, Philippine Municipal Fisheries: A Review of Resources,Technology and Socioeconomics (Smith et al. 1980), was a joint undertaking of the Fishery Industry Development Council (Philippines) and the International Center for Living Aquatic ~esourcesManagement (ICLARM). A similar manuscript on Thai fisheries is forthcoming. This review of Indonesian marine capture fisheries is the result of a cooperative effort among researchers from the Directorate General of Fisheries (DGF), the Marine Fisheries Research Institute (MFRI) and ICLARM. Work on this project began in October 1981. To obtain the information required, the authors found it necessary to travel extensively throughout Indonesia. During the course of these travels, the team interviewed government officers, university researchers, fishermen, fish buyers and leaders of coastal fishing communities. A large volume of "grey" literature not otherwise available was obtained from regional universities and government agencies. Complete sets of these reports have been photocopied and deposited in the libraries of the three institutions which the authors represent. A quick look through the reference section of this review will suffice to show that a wealth of information already exists on the biological, technical and socioeconomic aspects of Indonesian marine fisheries. However, much of the knowledge and literature remains scattered and underutilized. The authors seek to address this problem in the hope and belief that valuable insights can be gained by taking stock of what already is known. C. Bailey A. Dwiponggo F. Marahudin ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors owe a substantial debt to university researchers and government civil servants-too numerous to name-who willingly shared their insights and experiences and who assisted in gathering the literature upon which this review primarily is based. Several individuals merit special thanks. Admiral Abdu Rachman, Director General of Fisheries, and his prede- cessor Admiral lman Sardjono both provided valuable encouragement. Mr. Sunyoto, until recently Director of Plan- ning within the DGF, provided practical support and guidance. Mrs. Sunyoto, and her successor as Chief of the DGF's Sub-Directorate for Foreign Cooperation, Ir. Enni Sutopo, helped smooth administrative details involved in this cooperative project. The authors also wish to acknowledge the active assistance of the late M. Unar who, in his capacity as Director of the MFRI and later the Central Fisheries Research and Development Institute, contributed significantly to the design and smooth implementation of this project. Drs. Ian Smith and Daniel Pauly of ICLARM worked with the authors in developing their research program and offered constructive assistance by reviewing earlier drafts of this work. The authors gladly share part of the credit but accept responsibility for what is contained or omitted here. Finally, the authors wish to acknowledge with thanks the Rockefeller
