Serial data and information are needed to understand change in marine fishery Focus research need to be extended to not only more studies on fishery biology, but also on marine habitat /environment; Intensive research and long-term monitoring need to be conducted on fishery, especially for high demand commercial species (e.g. tuna, grouper, scads) Scenario for the future : • To improve research design for marine fishery including early life history, stock population, spawning locations, migration patterns, food sources, etc • To set up research priorities and big impacts; • Target species • High migratory species • Treathened species • Endemic species • To enhance collaborative Research and sharing research facilities • Using research vessels & sailing days, laboratories and equipment • Using new science approach /methods • Using big data facility SUMARRY & CONCLUSION Indonesia territory has dominated by marine waters, and marine fishery is very important for national benefit; We have a lot of experience in research and monitoring for marine fishery, but need to shift our approach (incl. method, technology, modelling, etc) To understand the effect of pandemic and climate crisis on fishery, we have to have database and long-term monitoring system.

  • Variability in Trawl Survey Catches of Pacific Ocean Perch, Shortraker Rockfish, and Rougheye Rockfish in the Gulf of Alaska David M
    Biology, Assessment, and Management of North Pacific Rockfishes 411 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-07-01, 2007 Variability in Trawl Survey Catches of Pacific Ocean Perch, Shortraker Rockfish, and Rougheye Rockfish in the Gulf of Alaska David M. Clausen and Jeffrey T. Fujioka National Marine Fisheries Service, Auke Bay Laboratory, Juneau, Alaska Abstract Little information is available on the comparative variability of Pacific ocean perch, shortraker rockfish, and rougheye rockfish catches in Alaska trawl surveys. In this study, data were first examined for these three species from three localized experimental bottom trawl surveys in the Gulf of Alaska in 1993, 1998, and 1999 to compare the variability of catch rates for each species. When catch rates were analyzed within favorable fishing areas for each species, the coefficients of variation for Pacific ocean perch were approximately 2.5 to 3 times greater than those of shortraker or rougheye rockfish, indicating that the latter two species are much more even in their distribution. To provide a broader comparison of variability, catch rates of the three species were also examined from seven large-scale bottom trawl surveys conducted in the Gulf of Alaska from 1984 to 2001. Using geographic information systems software, subsets of the hauls in these surveys were selected in what were determined to be favorable fishing areas for either Pacific ocean perch or for shortraker and rougheye rockfish. Analysis of the species’ catch rates in these hauls indicated results that were very simi- lar to those of the experimental trawl surveys; the variability of Pacific ocean perch was 2.1-2.3 times greater than that for either shortraker or rougheye rockfish.

This evaluation is based on the most recent comprehensive estimates of IUU fishing and includes the worlds’ major commercial stocks or species groups, such as all those that are regularly assessed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Based on WWF’s findings, the majority of the stocks, 54 percent, are categorized as at high risk of IUU, with an additional 32 perent judged to be at moderate risk. Of the 567 stocks that were assessed, the findings show that 485 stocks fall into these two categories. More than half of the world’s most overexploited stocks are at the highest risk of IUU fishing. Examining IUU risk by location, the WWF analysis shows that in more than one-third of the world’s ocean basins as designated by the FAO, all of these stocks were at high or moderate risk of IUU fishing.
