  • Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗
    Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗ I examine the estimated economic, ecological, and food security effects of future fishery management reform in Asia. Without climate change, most Asian fisheries stand to gain substantially from reforms. Optimizing fishery management could increase catch by 24% and profit by 34% over business- as-usual management. These benefits arise from fishing some stocks more conservatively and others more aggressively. Although climate change is expected to reduce carrying capacity in 55% of Asian fisheries, I find that under climate change large benefits from fishery management reform are maintained, though these benefits are heterogeneous. The case for reform remains strong for both catch and profit, though these numbers are slightly lower than in the no-climate change case. These results suggest that, to maximize economic output and food security, Asian fisheries will benefit substantially from the transition to catch shares or other economically rational fishery management institutions, despite the looming effects of climate change. Keywords: Asia, climate change, fisheries, rights-based management JEL codes: Q22, Q28 I. Introduction Global fisheries have diverged sharply over recent decades. High governance, wealthy economies have largely adopted output controls or various forms of catch shares, which has helped fisheries in these economies overcome inefficiencies arising from overfishing (Worm et al. 2009) and capital stuffing (Homans and Wilen 1997), and allowed them to turn the corner toward sustainability (Costello, Gaines, and Lynham 2008) and profitability (Costello et al. 2016). But the world’s largest fishing region, Asia, has instead largely pursued open access and input controls, achieving less long-run fishery management success (World Bank 2017).

  • Data Collection and Size Sampling on Neritic Tuna Fisheries in Andaman
    IOTC–2018–WPNT08–15 Data Collection and size sampling on Neritic Tuna Fisheries in Andaman Sea Kanokwan Maeroh, Sichon Hoimuk, Suchart Inthong, and Supachai Rodpradit Upper Andaman Sea Fisheries Research and Development Center (Phuket) 77 Moo 7 Vichit Sub-District, Muang District, Phuket Province 83000 Tel. 0 7639 1138-40 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the Andaman Sea Coast of Thailand, there are many kinds of fishing gears can catch neritic tuna but most of it were caught by purse seine. The other gears are Otter board trawl, Anchovy falling nets and Squid Falling nets. There are 3 organizations along Andaman sea under Marine Fisheries Research and Development Division responsible to collect the data on fish composition and size distribution, especially for neritic tuna and others importantly economic fish, from more than 10 types of fishing gears. All kind of fishing gears in which both commercial and artisanal fisheries were conducted fisheries data for 3-5 days a month. There are 7 organizations along Andaman sea under Fishing and Fleets Management Division responsible to collected fishing data from logbook and catches landing of marine fish, to recorded and reported the data to Fishing-Info data base. Study on CPUE and MSY were conducted by Fisheries Statistics Analysis and Research Group and Fisheries Resources Assessment Group which are under the Department of Fishery. The purse seine is the mainly fishing gear for pelagic species. Pair trawls and otter board trawls are the main fishing gears for demersal species. The other gears which have a specific name to target species, such as gill nets, hand line and long line.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Amornsak Sawusdee1 (1) The Center of Academic Service, Walailak University, Tha Sala, Nakhon Si Thammarat, 80160 The results of observation of catching BSC by using collapsible crab trap and floating seine. According to the observation of aquatic animal which has been caught by main BSC fishing gears; floating seine and collapsible crab trap, there were 176 kind of aquatic animals. The catch aquatic animals are shown in the table1. In this study, aquatic animal was classified into 11 Groups; Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus Pelagicus), Coelenterata (coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens), Helcionelloida (clam, bivalve, gastropod), Cephalopoda (sqiud, octopus), Chelicerata (horseshoe crab), Hoplocari(stomatopods), Decapod (shrimp), Anomura (hermit crab), Brachyura (crab), Echinoderm (sea cucambers, sea stars, sea urchins), Vertebrata (fish). Vertebrata was the main group that was captured by BSC fishing gears, more than 70 species. Next are Helcionelloida and Helcionelloida 38 species and 29 species respectively. The sample that has been classified were photographed and attached in appendix 1. However, some species were classified as unknow which are under the classification process and reconcile. There were 89 species that were captured by floating seine. The 3 main group that were captured by this fishing gear are Vertebrata (34 species), Brachyura (20 species) Helcionelloida and Echinoderm (10 Species). On the other hand, there were 129 species that were captured by collapsible crab trap.

Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation, 30, 105–107. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1467454 Smith-Vaniz et al. (2018) reported a case of mimicry between juveniles of Caranx bucculentus Alleyne & Macleay (Carangidae) and Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg) (Plotosidae) in this volume of the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation (p. 82). The identifications were based solely on photographs of schooling juveniles at Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. Soon after the on-line version of the paper became available, new information made it obvious that the carangid had been misidentified. A color image of an approximately 5 cm fork length juvenile of C. bucculentus from Western Australia was kindly sent to me by John Pogonoski. This specimen has a much deeper body than the mimic carangid and its coloration is very different. Subsequently, I received 4 color photographs of what was clearly the same carangid illustrated in Smith-Vaniz et al. (2018) in association with Plotosus schools.

  • 3. MARINE FISHERY RESOURCES the Coastal Waters of Cambodia
    3. MARINE FISHERY RESOURCES The coastal waters of Cambodia support a large number of marine fish and invertebrate species. Try (2003) gives the scientific, English and Kmer names for those marine species recorded from the country: 476 species of marine finfish, 20 species of marine crabs, 42 species of marine gastropods and 24 species of marine bivalves. In the marine fisheries statistics published by the Department of Fisheries (DoF, 2002), nine different groups are given. The 2001 landings of these groups by province/municipality are provided in Table 2 below. Little quantitative information is available on the composition of the finfish component.

Oktaviani D, Priyanto E, Nugroho D. 2020. Length-weight, maturity, and condition factor of torpedo scads (Megalaspis cordyla Linnaeus, 1758) in the Java Sea, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1527-1534. The Java Sea comprises the most extensive ecosystem with high pressure on the biodiversity of marine fish species in Indonesia. Small pelagic fish is the main target among marine fish species in this area for decades to fulfill the need for animal protein for human consumption. Torpedo scads (Megalaspis cordyla Linnaeus, 1758) locally called as tetengkek is one of the common species caught in small pelagic seiners fisheries in the area. The significant increasing trend of annual fish landing could lead to unsustainable long-term harvesting. This study was performed to support baseline information on the biological characteristics of Torpedo scads. Measurements on length, weight, sex, maturity, and gonad weight are the main database that collected from February to December 2017 in the Tegal fishing port, north coast of central Java.
