Synopsis (short abstract) This report has been prepared by an FAO/IOP Mission to East Java, Indonesia, as a result of its investigation of the development prospects of the fisheries for Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) in the Bali Strait. The technical details of the present fishery are dealt with, including the economics of the various operations, landing facilities and marketing and processing arrangements. The fishery has expanded considerably in recent years through the introduction of a large number of purs e seiners, a development which, given the limited nature of resources, now threaten the traditional fisheries which provide a living for a large number of fishermen. The Mission recommends that no more purse seiners be brought in until investigation of the resource shows whether or not it can sustain heavier fishing. Detailed proposals for the technical improvement of the existing craft and gear are presented and recommendations made with respect to the development of the infrastructure and the improvement of marketing operations. Credit facilities and institutional changes needed to facilitate these improvements are recommended.

    In response to a request from the Government of Mauritius, the FAO/UNDP Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme sent two consultants to advise on ways and means of revitalizing the Mauritian off-shore bank fishery. The report concludes that the decline in the bank fishery is due more to human problems than to changes in fishing conditions, and recommends that business managers; fishermen and government officials cooperate in implementing an action plan to prepare for off-shore fish eries. The nature of such an action plan is outlined in the report.
