No results found.This report provides results and discussion of data from a fisheries survey in lower order streams of the central Highlands of Papua New Guinea undertaken from August 1991 to August 1992. The survey can be considered as an extension of a similar survey of the Sepik/Ramu catchment undertaken by Van Zwieten as part of phase one of the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project (SRFSEP) (Van Zwieten 1990). -

No results found.During 1991-92 staff of the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project (SRFSEP) and of the Papua New Guinea National Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources conducted a series of surveys in villages located in the Sepik-Ramu catchment including at Y onki Reservoir (Eastern Highlands Province). These surveys are part of the study done by the SRFSE Project of the fishery taking place in the area to assess the importance of fishing and fish for the population residing in the Sepik-Ramu catchme nt in comparison with other economic activities and food. This was also done as a pre-stocking survey to gather base-line data upon which the future effects of stocking could be assessed. This report describes the way the surveys were conducted, the way the data were entered in a computer data base and the way the data were processed to be able to estimate relevant parameters such as the average income/household from various sources, the annual fish yield of men, women, boys, girls and of the wh ole community for each village or area surveyed. -
ProjectYonki fisherfolk: report of a survey among people fishing at Yonki Reservoir, upper Ramu River, Eastern Highlands Province

No results found.In January 1991 the dam built for electric power generation at Yonki township in the upper Ramu was closed. This started the flooding of grasslands, gardens and coffee plantations in the Arona Valley. In November 1991 the reservoir, which is at 1260 meters above sea level, reached the Full Supply Level and water started to flow over the spill way. At this level the reservoir covers an area of 2200 hectares. The shoreline of the reservoir is very dendritic and has an approximate length of 50 to 6 0 km. The new reservoir is the biggest water body in the high altitude region (i.e. > 1000 m above sea level) of the Sepik-Ramu catchment area. According to the 1990 National Population Census 9179 people live in census units within approximately 6 km from the reservoir, of which 2631 live in Yonki Township. Figure 1 shows a map of the reservoir with Yonki township and some of the nearby villages.
