The increasing exploitation and fishing of the orange mud crab (Scylla olivacea) are threats against the sustainability of the crab resources. Therefore, it is critical to carry out a scientific study that can serve as the basis of the fisheries management. This study was carried out from March to November 2019 several crab landing sites in Aru Islands (Dobo). It employed survey and monthly data collection methods, assisted by an enumerator. The results revealed that the capace width orange mud crab was of 110–185 mm in size where 135 mm was the dominant size and 137.8 mm was the capace width at first capture (CWc). Its growth rate (K) was 0.59 per year and its asymptotic capace width was 191.5 mm. The recruitment of the species occurred all year long, peaking in February at 18.53%. Its fishing mortality (F) was 0.74 per year, while its natural mortality (M) was 0.77 per year. The exploitation rate (E) of the orange mud crab was 0.49% (moderate state). To ensure the sustainability of the crab resource in Aru Islands, people should be advised to maintain the sustainability of the crab habitats, i.e. the mangrove forests, and not to capture the orange mud crabs below 120 mm in size.
Penangkapan kepiting merah (Scylla olivacea) di Merauke berlangsung sangat intensif dan dikuatirkan akan mengancam kelestariannya. Untuk itu perlu pengelolaan yang didasarkan hasil kajian ilmiah. Dinamika populasi dan tingkat pemanfaatan merupakan informasi komponen penting dalam pengelolan perikanan secara efektif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dinamika populasi dan tingkat pemanfaatan kepiting merah di Merauke dan sekitarnya. Penelitian dilakukan selama 2 (dua) tahun yaitu Februari hingga Desember 2017 dan Maret hingga Desember 2018 dengan metode survey. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan struktur ukuran kepiting merah diatas 99 % berukuran dibawah 145 mm dan ukuran pertama kali tertangkap (CWc) adalah 110.52 mm (2017) dan 112,5 mm (2018). Pola pertumbuhan kepiting merah bersifat allometrik negatif dengan nisbah kelamin tidak seimbang antara jantan dan betina. Laju pertumbuhan (K) adalah 0,6 per tahun dengan tingkat kematian alamiah (M) lebih kecil daripada kematian karena penangkapan (F). Tingkat pemanfaatan (E) 0,68 menjadi indikasi telah terjadi overfishing dari nilai optimum penangkapan kepiting. Upaya pelestarian sumberdaya kepiting dapat dilakukan dengan mengurangi upaya penangkapan sebesar 36 % dari yang sudah dilakukan saat ini.The capture of red mud crabs (Scylla olivacea) in Merauke is very intensive and threat its sustainability. For this reason, management needs to be based on the results of scientific studies. Population dynamics and exploitation rates are information about important components in fisheries management effectively. The purpose of this study was to determine population dynamics and exploitation of red mud crabs in Merauke and its adjancent. The study was conducted for 2 (two) years, February to December 2017 and March to December 2018 with the survey method. The results showed that the structure of the size of red mud crabs above 99% was under 145 mm and the first size caught (CWc) was 110.52 mm (2017) and 112.5 mm (2018). The growth pattern of red mud crabs is allometric negatif with an unbalanced sex ratio between male and female. The growth rate (K) is 0.6 per year with a natural death rate (M) smaller than death due to arrest (F). The utilization rate (E) of 0.68 indicates an overfishing of the optimum value of crab capture. Efforts to preserve crab resources can be done by reducing fishing efforts by 36% from what has been done today.
Red mud crab (Scylla olivacea) is an economic commodity that is traded into foreign countries such as China, Malaysia, and Singapore so that fishing activities are carried out intensively. Therefore, we need scientific information about the status of red mud crab fishery stock. Information about the natural mortality, fishing mortality, and the exploitation level of crabs can be used as the basis for crab fisheries management. The study was conducted for 2 (two) years, February to October 2017, and March to December 2018 using the survey method. The results showed that 36% of the crabs were caught below the 120 mm size as regulated in Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 12 Year 2020. The carapace width of the first capture (CWc) is smaller than the size of the carapace width of the first gonad maturity (CWm). This shows that the crab has been captured before the first gonad maturity (CWc < CWm). The growth rate (K) is 0.65 per year with fishing mortality (F) higher than natural mortality (M). Exploitation level (E) 0.70 which indicates that the status fisheries of red mud crab in Mimika have been overexploited. Efforts need to be done by the Regional Government in collaboration with local community leaders in providing counseling and information about the size of red mud crabs that can be caught and reduce efforts to use crabs by as much as 40% of what is currently done.

As excessive capture activity adversely impacts fisheries sector, fish resources management is a necessity. This study was conducted as a scientific contribution for the managements of bottom longline fisheries in Arafura Waters and areolate grouper (Epinephelus areolatus) as one of the target catches. It was carried out from February to December 2017 and in November 2018. Data on the fishing grounds of eight bottom longline vessels were obtained from the vessel monitoring system (VMS) of Probolinggo Marine and Fisheries Resources Supervisory Unit, Mayangan Probolinggo Fishing Port, and Marine and Fisheries Resources Surveillance (PSDKP) Tual Station. Based on the analysis of the coordinates from the VMS, the fishing grounds of the bottom longline vessels in Arafura waters were found around Dolak until the border with Merauke and around Timika until Aru Islands. The composition of dominant catches consisted of croaker (Pennahia spp.) and snapper (Lutjanus spp.), as well as grouper (Epinephelus spp.) in a smaller proportion. The size structure of the areolate grouper caught with bottom longlines was 21.5–54.5 cmTL; its length at first capture (Lc) was 33.9 cmTL; and its asymptotic length was 70.5 cmTL. Its growth rate (K) was found 0.26 per year. The fishing mortality (F) of the species was found higher than its natural mortality (M), and its exploitation level (E) was 0.74, meaning that the species was already overfished. The exploitation should be reduced by 40–50% to keep the fish resources in Arafura sustainable, especially for areolate grouper.

Potensi perikan di Selat Malaka memiliki nilai yang tinggi. salah satunya adalah ikan layang (Decapterus russelli). Ikan layang merupakan salah satu ikan target oleh nelayan yang mendaratkan ikan di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Belawan, Medan. Tingginya tingkat pemanfaatan ikan layang di khawatirkan akan mengganggu keberlanjautan sumberdaya ikan, sehingga dibutuhkan pengelolaan berdasarkan informasi boologi dan dinamika populasi ikan layang di Selat Malaka. Sampel didapat dari hasil tangkapan nelayan yang didaratkan di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Belawan, Medan. Selama penelitian sampel ikan terdiri dari 543 jantan dan 342 Betina. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola pertumbuhan ikan layang alometrik negatif. Ukuran ikan pertama kali tertangkap (Lc) ikan jantan adalah 161.42 mm dan untuk ikan betina adalah 154.65 mm. Ukuran pertama kali matang gonad (Lm) ikan jantan adalah 183 mm dan ikan betina 210 mm. Estimasi parameter pertumbuhan parameters L∞, K, dan t0 adalah 229 mm, 1.1/bulan dan -0.551. Kematian alami (M), Kematian Penangkapan (F) dan Kematian total (Z) adalah 0.97/tahun, 1.11/tahun dan 2.08/tahun. Tingkat eksploitasi adalah 0.53/tahun.
