This task force was originally named KIP-HAM in 1996. As a commission whose work was to monitor Human Rights issues, KIP-HAM received many reports and inputs from the community, both victims’ community and others who dared to express their aspiration regarding human rights issues that took place in their regions. In the beginning, KIP-HAM only received reports through phone communication but the public gradually grew brave in delivering their reports directly to KIP-HAM secretariat. In several meetings with victims’ community, there was an idea to form an entity that deals specifically with cases of forced disappearances as a response to continuous violent practices that had claimed many victims. The idea was thrown in by one of the victims’ mothers named Ibu Tuti Koto. It was finally agreed that a commission would be established to deal with cases of disappearances and victims of violence under the name of Kontras.

This research was carried out from August to September 2017. The sample fish was obtained by stocking fishing gear, gill nets, fixed rawi, and spoon webs. The results of the study obtained dominant fish based on the number of catches namely species Parambassius gulliveri (141 tails), Kurtus gulliveri (100 tails) and Cinetodus crasslabris (97 tails). The pattern of fish growth is based on the catch of the three species of fish Parambassius gulliveri, Kurtus gulliveri and Cinetodus cassilabris are positive allometric which means that the weight gain is proportional to body length increase and the condition of fish conditions during the study is relatively small and is in the enlargement stage.
