MeetingMeeting documentLength frequency distributions of billfishes (Xiphiidae and Istiophoridae) from Indonesian tuna longline observer data 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Billfishes are the one of the important byproduct for Indonesian tu longline fishermen. The objective of this study is to describe length frequency and the distributions of billfishes in Indonesia. Data collections were taken by observer on 83 longline vessels in Benoa Port, Bali, Indonesia from 2005 to 2012. Lower-jaw fork length (LJFL) was used to measure the length of the fish. The results showed that six species of billfishes were caught by longline vessels i.e.: 973 swordfish (X. gladius) r ange: 50-280 cm; mean±SE: 128±1.48 cm, 94 sailfish (I. platypterus) range: 98-259 cm; mean±SE: 165±3.51 cm, 252 shortbill spearfish (T. angustirostris) range: 82-221 cm; mean±SE: 151±1.05 cm, 222 blue marlin (M. mazara) range: 110-298 cm; mean±SE: 192±2.39 cm, 310 black marlin (I. indica) range: 60-307 cm; mean±SE: 184±1.92 cm and 109 striped marlin (K. audax) range: 69-270 cm; mean±SE: 177±3.23 cm. The latitudil and longitudil range distributions of six billfishes were range from 0°65' to 33°66 ' S and from 76°00' to 131°47' E. The majority of billfishes were caught with range from 10°00' to 20°00' S and from 110°00' to 120°00' E. Further study is needed on the biological aspects of billfishes to support their magement policy in Indonesia.

BookletTechnical reportThe importance of small-scale fisheries for food security in Madagascar 2025
Also available in:
This publication aims to provide an overview of the contribution of small-scale fisheries tohealthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in Madagascar. Small-scale fishing in Madagascar is primarily conducted in coastal and inland areas using non-motorized dugout canoes. It was estimated that in 2022, in nearly 2 500 surveyed fishing villages, approximately 242 000 people (men and women) were directly involved in the small-scale fisheries sector, with production reported at around 90 000 tonnes. The contribution of both inland and marine small-scale fisheries is critical for Madagascar. As an accessible and indispensable food source for fishing households, this sector plays a vital role in national food and nutrition security through marketing and distribution networks. It also contributes significantly to exports, generating nearly USD 120 million (2022). The commitment of all stakeholders to implement the SSF Guidelines will help safeguard natural resources and enhance small-scale fisheries’ contribution to sustainable development and food systems in Madagascar. This document offers recommendations and strategies to improve the management of small-scale fisheries, enhance post-harvest value chains, promote fish consumption, and focus on nutrient-rich fish species from small-scale fisheries. -
