FISHERIES RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

ABSTRACTIn the coastal areas around Indonesia, the local fishers are engaged in various traditional fishing

activities, in unregulated manners, without any consensus of sustainability for fisheries resource management. The living standard of local fi shers’ households is still at low level, due to the long-term trend of the coastal stock decline. In order to stabilize the fi sheries production level and to improve the fi shing activities for coastal communities, it is important to formulate a development model of fi shing communities for the sustainable resource management through the introduction of appropriate fi shing technologies and the organization of local fishers. In Japan, the set-net fishing has been traditionally controlled under the community-based management system; so that, this “community-based set-net” is expected to be effective on the economical empowerment of fi shing community and the environmental conservation of coastal fi shing ground.

Our project aims to introduce the Japanese-type of set-net fi shing system, which effectively maintains the fi sheries resources under the local fi shers’ consensus in coastal areas, to promote the cooperative works among individual fi shers, to reduce the total fi shing effort and to develop the optimal fi shing ground use in coastal communities. In addition, the formulation of group activities among local fi shers will effectively lead the fi shing communities to stabilize their fi shing incomes and revitalize their social and economic activities, through the improvement of marketing system and fi sh processing strategy. This project will be carried out at the designated fi shing communities in Pallette village, Bone District; however, it can be also expected to formulate an effective development model of coastal community for sustainable fi sheries and to disseminate such a “community-based set-net fi shing” into other coastal communities around Indonesia.

Implementing organaization of this project is composed of Japanese side: - Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology - IC Net Limited - Himi Cityand Indonesian side: - Pallette Fishers’ Association - Department of Fisheries & Marine Affairs in Bone District Gov. - National Bone Fisheries High School - Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries, Hasanuddin University - National Steering Committee for Set-net, Ministry of Marine Affairs and FisheriesTechnical staff of Department of Fisheries and Marine Affairs, Bone District Government and teaching staff of National Bone Fisheries High School can take the leading roles to supervise the Pallette Fishers’ Association, and to disseminate the community-based development model by the introduction of set-net fi shing, through their positive participation of this project’s activities, under the academic cooperation given by the Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries, Hasanuddin University, and the legislative supervision by the National Steering Committee of Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology focuses on education and research in fi sheries and maritime fi elds and has accomplished many technical and research cooperation with universities or institutes in developing countries.

Through this project, the following outcomes are expected to be brought. 1) Local fi shers can establish the group activities to introduce the small-scale set-net at a proper fi shing

ground, for establishing the community-based sustainable fi sheries under the consensus of community.2) Local fi shers’ group can manage the set-net fi shing operation, through their cooperative works for

constructing and maintaining the gear under the co-management manner.3) Local fi shing community can establish the proper marketing channels for set-net catch, fresh or alive,

and can take initiatives for the fi sh processing products, in order to increase its profi tability through the value-adding and preservation.

4) The profi t of set-net can be managed by the local fi sher’s group, through the deposit management to establish the sustainable operation system, with the consideration of the profit sharing in the local community.

Fishing Technology in Japan.• Every year, 3 Ex-Trainees on 3-years Set-net

course will return back to Bone.• Both Local Government and UNHAS is

willing to support the Project.• Less conflicts in local community, due to the

intensive activities on sea weed farming

• What is Super Goal for Community Empowerment?• What is the Success of ODA Project?

– End of Project means End of Success…?• Optimum level of Technology and Materials• Initial cost optimization for Local fish price• Negative Impact Analysis• Special aspects for set-net tech.transfer

– Preventing the conflicts, for fishing ground occupation– Any chance for higher price to fresh and live fish

marketing– Big variation of catch amount….needs of marketing and

Needs for Technology Transfer of Set-net

• Social Acceptance and Fishing Licensing• Acceptance and Willingness of Local Fishers• Capability on Net works and Rope works• Capability of Leadership and Team Working for Group

Operation & Cost-Profit Management• Technical Supports from Set-net Experts/Ex-Trainees• Scientific Supports from Universities/Research
