DocumentSurvey of resources in the Indian Ocean and Indonesian area 1971
Also available in:
No results found.The resources of the tropical ocean derive from a number of separate ecosystems; for the present purpose there are five: the upwelling areas, offshore oceanic areas, coral seas, mangrove swamps, and coastal areas outside upwelling regions; Studies of the oceanic system lead to the conclusion that stocks of the four most valued tunas (yellowfin, bigeye, albacore, and southern bluefin) are fully exploited; other tunas and tuna-like fishes perhaps can be exploited: Spanish mackerel and especially s kipjack, whose estimated production is 100.000 tons; Coral seas are difficult to exploit, but production is likely to be high; there may be tertiary resources of Sardinella or mackerels over the whole coral area; Mangrove swamps are extensive, and their high productivity could be exploited with a variety of fish, shellfish, and crustacean cultures; the swamps need to be investigated for present resources; Upwelling areas and the associated offshore divergences are the most productive; the most p romising area for development is that off Northern Somalia and Southern Arabia, followed by the Malabar Coast and the Indonesian area. A fisheries survey should be mounted to catalogue resources of the three promising areas; surveys of pelagic resources with echo-sounders and purse-seines should be initiated all over the region but particularly in the upwelling areas. -

Also available in:
Fishery resources are one of the most important resources available to the countries of the Eastern and Southern Africa - Indian Ocean (ESA-IO) region in general and the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) countries in particular, of great value to their food and nutritional security, livelihoods and economic growth requirements. Two main categories of resources coexist: tuna (and associated) resources and other resources (demersal fish, crustaceans, molluscs and small pelagics). Commonly identified t ransnational and non-transnational fishing resources include tuna, lobsters, shrimps, crabs, bivalves, octopus, trepangs, sharks, reef species and small pelagics (e.g. mackerel). Coastal resources are considered to be over-exploited. Tuna resources, for the most part, do not show obvious signs of overexploitation, although this does not exclude the need for a precautionary approach to their management.
