Cost Structure and Profitability of Trammel Net Fishery in Semarang Municipality, Indonesia
Trammel net is one of the fishing gears operated by small
scale fishermen along the coast of Java, in particular in the Semarang Municipality. For the past seven years, trammel net
has been developed into the main gear used to exploit shrimp
resource in waters around the municipality
This study aims to examine the economics of trammel net
fishery in the Semarang Municipality wit h an emphasis on cost structure analysis and determination of profit. In addition,
the study also attempts to determine factors responsible for
the continued existence of resource rent and factors affecting
variations in catch among fishermen. The cost structure analysis examined the cost incurred for
every factor of production and its importance to total cost as
expressed in cost indices. The profitability of the gear was
determined by means of cost and return analysis. The factors
affecting variations in catch among fishermen were determined
by means of a regression analysis.
Of the two trammel nets, i.e. the medium and the small
scales, the latter net was found to be more profitable. Owners
of small trammel nets earned the largest rent and non-family
labour of medium trammel net earned the smallest rent.
The number of net and time spent fishing were two variables
found positively related to catch per trip in the peak season.
Cost of buying boat and engine were found to be negatively
related to catch for the medium trammel net but positively
related to catch for the small trammel net. Size of fishermen
household was negatively related to catch for both the medium
and small trammel nets . In addition, fishing experience was
also found to be significantly related to catch for the medium
trammel net and the relationship was positive.
The small trammel net was recommended for development in
Semarang waters especially during the peak season. In order to
achieve a rational exploitation of shrimp resource in the areas, appropriate management mechanisms should be instituted
following a more intensive effort to assess
availability and potential

Coastal Resources Conservation in Indonesia: Issues, Policies, and Future Directions
Blessed with vast coastal region, Indonesia has developed its economy by better utilizing the available resources therein. The coastal region, consisting of about 81,000 km shoreline and more than 17,000 small islands, has provided huge contribution to the national economy and served as the solid basis for various human activities. The region and its resources should be sustainably available and existed to support the country’s future economic development. Nevertheless there is a serious concern for its future, particularly regarding the status of the resources which essentially are the important life supporting system. The main coastal ecosystems that constitute Indonesian coastal region are mangrove forest, seagrass meadow, and coral reefs. Variety of goods and services are produced by these coastal ecosystems. Some of the goods and services are exploitable, usable, marketable, tradable, and highly priced. Some other goods and services, however, are remained unidentified, non-quantified, non-tradable, and unable to be monetized by using the existing technologies and market mechanisms. Consequently, the resources tend be underestimated and undervalued and eventually misused and mismanaged
The Current State of Fish Marketing in Indonesia
EnglishFish and fish-based products are main protein sources for Indonesian. Their production and availability are so varied by provinces and major islands. Consequently, their average consumption levels are spatially different. The inequality of consumption and production is traced to the problems of marketing and distribution. By understanding and solving the problems, per capita fish consumption level may be increased. The existing marketing organizations at producer level do not provide incentives to boost the production. Meanwhile, the marketing facilities and infrastructures are limited available. For the future development, particularly for increasing per capita fish consumption, supporting marketing facilities and infrastructures should be provided by the government. Other functions of the government are to provide regulations on the management of local fish auction markets, to undertake campaign of fish consumption, to provide marketing information in order to attract private sectors into the business, and to carry out research and development in order to anticipate changes of consumption pattern. IndonesianIkan merupakan sumber protein utama bagi penduduk. Namun distribusi produksinya sangat timpang menurut wilayah. Akibatnya konsumsi ikan tidak merata.Ketidakseimbangan antara produksi dan konsumsi merupakan masalah pemasaran dan distribusi. Dengan memahami kondisi pemasaran, distribusi, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat konsumsi maka di harapkan konsumsi ikan yang rendah dapat ditingkatkan. Organisasi pemasaran yang ada di tingkat nelayan belum sepenuhnya memberikan insentif bagi pengembangan produksi. Sarana dan prasarana pemasaran masih sangat terbatas. Ke depan, pemerintah sebaiknya mengambil bagian dalam penyediaan sarana yang cukup, penataan pemasaran di tingkat produsen melalui peraturan yang mempertimbangka kondisi lokal, pengadaa kampanye guna meningkatkan konsumsi, pemberian kesempatan bagi swasta untuk berpartisipasi secara luas melalui penyediaan informasi pasar, serta mengadakan penelitian untuk mengantisipasi dan menyikapi perubahan konsumsi yang diakibatkan oleh perubahan lingkungan di masa yang akan datang
PEMANFAATAN TUNA SIRIP BIRU (SOUTHERN BLUE FIN TUNA)
Tuna sirip biru adalah ikan berharga tinggi yang semakin kurang populasinya akibat penangkapan secara ekstensif. Ikan ini hanya terdapat di Samudera Hindia. Daerah pemijahannya diduga di perairan selatan Bali dan Lombok. Pengelolaan konservasi ikan ini dilakukan oleh Commission for the Conservation of Southern Blue Fin Tuna, di mana Indonesia adalah salah satu anggotanya. Kehadiran Indonesia sebagai anggota menuntut Indonesia untuk ikut melakukan konservasi terhadap spesies ini. Namun, Indonesia juga patut mengembangkan perikanan dan perdagangan spesies ini bagi kepentingan nasional.Southern blue fin tuna is a high priced fish which tends to have declining its population due to extensive fishing. The Indian Ocean is the species only habitat. Its spawning area is confined to the waters of southern coast of Bali and Lombok. The management conservation of the southern blue fin tuna is done by the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Blue Fin Tuna, where Indonesia as one of the members. The membership consequence is that Indonesia should undertake conservative actions and mechanisms for the species. Indonesia may develop fishery and trading of the species for its own benefit and interest
STATUS SUMBER DAYA IKAN TUNA SAMUDERA HINDIA: IMPLIKASINYA BAGI INDONESIA
Sumber daya ikan tuna di Samudera Hindia dikelola oleh 2 Regional Fisheries Management Organization yaitu Indian Ocean Tuna Commission dan Commission for the Conservation of the Blue Fin Tuna. Dengan pengolahan ini, maka sumber daya ini tidak lagi bebas dimasuki untuk dimanfaatkan, kecuali oleh negara atau entitas yang menjadi anggota ke-2 Regional Fisheries Management Organization ini. Sumber daya tuna ini telah dimanfaatkan sejak tahun 1950, dan mungkin akan terus menjadi daerah penangkapan utama di masa mendatang. Jenis-jenis tuna ukuran besar sudah cenderung ditangkap secara berlebihan. Sementara jenis tuna ukuran kecil cenderung belum tinggi intensitas penangkapan. Indonesia sudah saatnya mengembangkan perikanan tuna di Samudera Hindia ini secara besar-besaran, mengingat posisi geografis Indonesia yang relatif lebih dekat dan berbatasan langsung dengan Samudera Hindia.Indian Ocean tuna resources are managed by two Regional Fisheries Management Organization; the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission and Commission for the Conservation of the Blue Fin Tuna. Under this management regime, the fishery is not an open access. It can only be utilized by member countries and entities of the those Regional Fisheries Management Organization. The tuna resources have been extensively caught since 1950, and may be kept on being exploited in the future. The large tuna species tended to have been fully utilized, while the small species may be considered under fished. Indonesia should develop its capacity to the best use of the existing resources, considering its relatively shorter distance to the fishing ground

Status Desa Pesisir untuk Pengembangan Industri Perikanan Terpadu di Kota Ambon
Ambon City is located in coastal area of Ambon island. Economic contributon of fisheries sector to its PDRB was relativey high (about 15%) but the poverty level of itspopulation is high. Since coastal villages are the main players of the fisheries sector, its development approach to promote community welfare should be based on the characteristicsof the 32 coastal villages. This study was designed to develop a methodology for determining coastal village status in promoting integrated fisheries industry in Ambon City. This study uses 17 indicators representing three main variables comprising fisheries business, fisheries infrastructure and socio-cultural aspects of coastal communities. Based on score calculation, there are three categories of coastal villages, i.e. desa mina mula (TSS 2,39). The analysis concludes no village of mina politan, 30 villages of mina mandiri, and 2 villages of mina mula. Such diverse characteristics indicate that fisheries development approach should vary among villages to ensure development effectiveness
