35Shark-like batoids (Order Rhinopristiformes) are normally taken as incidental catch in fisheries 36 targeting other species, one exception is a poorly understood Indonesian tangle net fishery. Market 37 surveys of Muara Angke landing port recorded landed catch for this fishery. Recent catch data from 38 Indonesian Capture Fisheries (2017 -2018) were also examined to provide contemporary 39 information. During the market surveys, 1,559 elasmobranchs were recorded, comprised of 24 40 species of batoids and nine species of sharks. The most abundant were pink whipray Pateobatis fai 41 and bottlenose wedgefish Rhynchobatus australiae, the latter being the main target species. Catch 42 composition differed between individual tangle net boat landings, likely reflecting different fishing 43 grounds, seasonal variation and potential localised declines in species over time. The fishery is highly 44 selective for larger size classes, but smaller size classes of target species are also caught in high 45 numbers in other Indonesian fisheries such as trawl, small mesh gillnet, and hand-and long-line 46 fisheries. As of July 2018, the tangle net fishery was still operating, but few wedgefish were caught 47 and the main landed catch was stingrays. Evidence of substantial and rapid declines in landings of 48 wedgefish species, raises concerns about the status of shark-like batoids and stingrays in Indonesia. 49 50
