The behavior of fishermen in handling post-harvest fish and its quality in East Java province

The purpose of this study is to examine how fishermen handle post-harvest fish and its quality. In three distinct East Java, Indonesian locations Banyuwangi, Surabaya, and Sampang, primary data was collected via surveys and in-depth interviews. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression was employed as estimation technique. The findings indicated that although most fishermen used ice to store their caught fish, not enough ice was used. Fishermen used either very little or no ice at all because they were only fishing for a few hours. Fish buyers also do not want the condition of the fish to be cold because they think that the fish is no longer fresh or was caught yesterday or a few days ago. Regression analysis indicates that the fish quality index (FQI) is positively correlated with environment condition, working hours, work experience, and selling time. Good environmental conditions provide a cleaner fish's storage, reducing contamination and damage. The more time spent fishing and experience involve better handling practices during longer fishing trips, which has a positive impact on fish quality. In contrast, age, gender, fishing group, and temperature have negatively significant on FQI, while there is not enough evidence to support ice usage, storage, and internet access to have impact on FQI. Based on the results, the policy recommendation is to enhancing the awareness and knowledge of fish quality among fish purchasers and fishermen is vital to attain higher-quality fish. The national strategy's current efforts for accelerating stunting prevention could be incorporated with the behavioral change communication approach on fish quality.

The Relation Between Fisheries Counseling Capacity and Fisherman Satisfaction in Counseling Activities in Batang Gasan, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatera Province

Batang Gasan District, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra Province has a fisheries product processing segment, both in terms of human resources (interest and experience) and natural resources (fisheries production). The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity for counseling for fisheries workers, fishermen’s satisfaction, and the relationship between the capacity of fisheries counseling workers and fishermen satisfaction in counseling related activities. Respondents in this study were fishermen who participated in counseling activities, as many as 68 people were used as samples using accidental sampling. The data analysis technique uses the Spearman Rank correlation method (Rs). In which, the results of this study are the capacity of counseling workers as facilitators is considered good, the capacity of counseling workers as motivators and educators is considered not good and the capacity of counseling workers as communicators is considered quite good, fishermen's satisfaction with planning is considered as quite satisfied, fishermen's satisfaction with implementation and evaluation is considered as not satisfied, and the capacity of counseling workers as facilitators, motivators, educators and communicators is significantly related to fishermen's satisfaction. It is expected that the capacity of counseling workers as motivators and educators is further enhanced in counseling activities so that fishermen feel satisfaction and can make fishermen's behavior change.

Occupation, including fishermen, is one type of work that has potential hazards and risks of accidents and occupational diseases because fishing activities are carried out in the middle of the sea or along the coast. Fishermen can experience work accidents such as drowning, drifting, ship damage, injuries due to fish spines, low back pain, fever and others. Fishermen need personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of accidents and occupational diseases. The objectives of holding education to increase knowledge and behavior of fishermen's occupational health safety regarding personal protective equipment in fishermen settlements in Galang District, Batam City are: 1) increasing knowledge of occupational safety and health of fishermen regarding fishermen's personal protective equipment. 2) improve fishermen's occupational safety and health behavior towards personal protective equipment. 3) fishermen can use standard personal protective equipment.

STUDI FENOMENOLOGI: MAKNA LARANGAN-LARANGAN ADAT ADE’ ASSAMATURUSENG DALAM PEMANFAATAN DANAU TEMPE DI KABUPATEN WAJO

The tradition and local wisdom of the Bugis fishermen’s community in the management of Lake Tempe is a visible social reality (phenomenon) in the form of a set of customs called Ade' Assamaturuseng. The purpose of this study is to reveal the meaning (noumena) of the actions of Bugis fishermen in the use of Lake Tempe as a visible reality (phenomena) based on customary local prohibitions called Ade' Assamaturuseng (customs that are obeyed together). The research method used is a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach to the perspective of Alfred Schurtz. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of the research show that the prohibitions in the Ade' Assamaturuseng custom are the background contexts (because of the motives) for the actions or behavior of fishermen in utilizing Lake Tempe. These actions or behaviors have objective motives (in order motives) so that they contain meaning as in the statements of the research subjects about the custom. In Schurtz's phenomenological perspective, the meaning of fishermen's actions based on the customary prohibitions of Ade' Assamaturuseng, among others; (1) Means as a conservation effort; (2) Means social justice; (3) Meaning as the practice of belief and religion. From the findings, it can be understood that the traditions and local wisdom of Bugis fishermen in the management of Lake Tempe contain the dimensions of values in environmental conservation, togetherness (justice), and culture comprehensively. It can be seen that the behavior of the Bugis fishing community is very respectful of the natural environment as part of their lives and realizes the use of Lake Tempe sustainably and equitably.

GENEALOGY OF CONSERVATION NGOs ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE AMBEL-MA'YA TRIBE CONSERVATION AREA IN RAJA AMPAT

This article aims to reveal the genealogy of the International Conservation NGO towards the establishment of the Ambel-Ma'ya tribal conservation area so that the Ma'yalibit Bay conservation area in Raja Ampat is formed as well as a departure station for the establishment of other conservation areas in Raja Ampat. The research approach uses a Cultural Studies approach with descriptive qualitative research methods and slices of theory used, namely, the genealogy of practice and power from Michel Foucault.The results showed that before international conservation NGOs operated in Raja Ampat, they recruited actors and agents who were recruited from intellectuals of the Ma'ya indigenous peoples' institutions and religious and traditional leaders. Conservation NGOs act as captains as well as organic intellectuals and traditional intellectuals for the Ambel-Ma'ya tribe in the Ma'yalibit Bay of Raja Ampat acting as sea commanders in the boat of conservation ideology. Conservation NGOs are hiding behind the discourse of knowledge about high marine tropical biodiversity and the threat of its degradation as a result of the fishing behavior of fishermen who are not environmentally friendly, becoming the basis for discourse on knowledge, articulation and practice of language texts and capital of power to carry out discursive practices in the formation of conservation areas on tribal waters stage.

The Effect of the Patron-Client Bond, on the Behavior of Fishers, on the Marketing of Soma Pajeko's Catch, in Bulawan Village, Kotabunan District, East Mongondow Bolaang Regency, Indonesia

The aims of this study are to: (1) find out the problems that occur in the trade system of fishermen's catches; and (2) analyzing the influence of the Patron-Client Bond on the Behavior of Fishermen on Marketing of Soma Pajeko's Catch in Bulawan Village, Kotabunan District, BolaangMongondowTimur Regency. This research is expected to provide additional information and knowledge regarding critical patron-client issues that often occur to fishermen. This causes an imbalance in the trade system of fishery products, as well as in the exchange of services/services obtained, where the client gets less profit than the patron due to the weak position of the client. The limitations of fishermen in terms of capital and skills are caused by various obstacles, including the lack of knowledge, so that their interest in developing themselves is hindered by the inability to think innovatively. This research was conducted in Bulawan village, Kotabunan sub-district using a survey method. Determination of respondents in this study was conducted using purposive sampling on fishermen Soma Pajeko. According to Walpole (1997) for research using statistical methods the minimum number of respondents is 20 people so that 30% of the existing population is determined. The data collected includes primary data and secondary data, where primary data is obtained through observation, direct interviews by filling out structured questionnaires. The quantitative data analysis technique uses descriptive data analysis techniques, while the qualitative data analysis techniques use the Miles and Hubermas concept The results of the research and discussion, where the strong position of the owner of the soma pajeko in the mechanism of buying and selling transactions, shows an illustration that the marketing trade chain in Bulawan village is still constructed locally. The relationship with production, especially the activities of the owner's work group, positioned himself as a patron while the crew members as clients. This is the case with marketing, the owner still positions himself as a patron and the crew as a client. Two strengths from two different sides.where fishermen must obtain production factors at high prices, while the selling price of the catch is determined at low prices. This trend continues where the exchange rate of fishermen is getting smaller, which means that the process of impoverishment is natural for fishermen, so that even though they have carried out commercial activities, the results obtained are still subsistence. It is this context that perpetuates the patron-client relationship between fishermen and owners.

Risky Behavior And The Precautions Of HIV / AIDS Trasnmission On Fisherman Community Of Nine Islands

The development of new cases of HIV in Indonesia increased significantly in 2013 and 2014, respectively by 29,037 and 32,711 cases. The results of the risky behavior survey (1996-2000) showed that truck drivers, sailors and fishermen and other port workers including workers which are often mobile (mobile population), are vulnerable to HIV because of their sexual behavior and the nature of their work. Sinjai District is one of the districts with a considerable population of fishermen (8,544 fishermen) in South Sulawesi. This research aims to analyze the relationship between level of knowledge with risky behavior and the precautions of HIV / AIDS transmission on fishermen in Sinjai District in 2016. Method of this research is an analytical research with cross sectional study approach. Population were the fisherman who registered in zero survey of Public Health Service of Sinjai District with 40 samples taken by simple random sampling. Data analysis uses statistical test of chi square. The research results showed that 72.5% of fishermen did not know about HIV / AIDS transmission, 75% had risky behavior, and 65% did not take the precautions of HIV / AIDS transmission. Chi square test results showed that there is no significant relationship between level of knowledge about HIV / AIDS transmission with risky behavior of fishermen (p count, 0,152 > p value 0,05). While there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge with the precautions of HIV / AIDS transmission (p count, 0.034 < p value, 0.05).

Occupational hazards and health care seeking behavior of fishermen

About millions of households depend on fishing for livelihood though it is associated with different types of hazards. Working time does not allow fishermen to get health care for hazards from facilities. Data on occupational hazards and health care seeking is inconclusive in Bangladesh. This study was undertaken to assess the occupational hazards, associated factors and health seeking of fisherman. A cross sectional study involving 300 fishermen conducted from some selected communities of Patuakhali and Vhola districts from January to June, 2018. A pretested questionnaire used to collect information on socio-demography, occupational detail, types of hazards and health seeking behavior of fishermen. The results revealed that 69 faced different occupational problems during last 6 months. Participants suffered mainly from skin disease (31.7%), musculoskeletal pain (29.7%) and fever (24.3%). Age and duration of profession identified were associated (P= <.001) with occupational hazards. Only 7.3% respondents went to facilities to get health care. Nearly one-third of fishermen (31%) took medicine by their own idea. Fishermen who seek care from facilities are low than affected with health hazards. Establishing facilities near major fish landings may improve health care seeking in this study area.

Concept based on Local Wisdom of Kaili Ethnic “Tampa Nu Bau” for Disaster Mitigation of Sea Storm

Sea Storm or tidal waves are one of the natural disasters that impose risks to human life. One of those potentially threatened by sea storms is fishermen who are fishing. Mitigation of sea storms is not only carried out on land but also at sea. Local wisdom has been used as an effort to mitigate disaster. This study aims to find the concept of space-based on a community’s local wisdom in disaster mitigation. Kaili tribe is one of the ethnic groups living in Sulawesi, especially in Central Sulawesi province. The proposed concept of space is “Tampa Nu Bau” concept, which in the Kaili language means a space located at sea and serves as a transit space for fishermen when fishing. The method used in this research is phenomenology. This method is done by observing the behavior of fishermen, behavior mapping, ethnic wisdom behavior and superimposition which are often shown by fishermen when using the “Tampa Nu Bau” room. The results obtained in this study are the concept of space-based on local wisdom that can reduce the risk of storm disasters in the Sea.

Fishermen’s Behavior of Multi Ethnic Community in Adapting Climate Change in Small Island

In a development perspective, small islands have limited economic access and opportunities, especially related to the economics of scale. Furthermore, the common problem such as climate change impact requires appropriate behavior of local inhabitant in order to survive in gaining to the economic access. Multi-ethnic society has different socio-cultural background that implies special characteristics and strategies to overcome climate change impacts. This study was conducted in Masalembu Island which consist of Madurese, Mandar, Bugis and Javanese ethnic. The aims of this study are to describe negative impact of climate change to the fisherman and to describe fisherman’s behavior for adapting climate changes. Theanalysis method is mixed method between the descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results show climate change causes fluctuating fish production, extending fishing ground to be more off-shore, uncertainty schedule for fishing and invasion from outer fisherman. Meanwhile, fishermen's behavior in overcoming the impacts of climate change consist of active response by Group of Fishermen, apply autonomous adaptation and apply adaptation behavior technologically, sociologically and regulatory. Based on these results, it is necessary to improve planned adaptation trough aquaculture, applying modern but friendlytechnology fishing gear and enhancing participation as well as cooperation among fisherman without ethnic consideration.

MENJAGA KELESTARIAN LINGKUNGAN MARITIM PESISIR YANG BERKELANJUTAN DI KABUPATEN PIDIE DENGAN PENDEKATAN ADAT LAOT

This research is a study that focus on local wisdom aspect as the force behind the sustainable development, whether development in economic, social, culture, education and other aspects. The scope of this research problem is coastal development based on the local coastal wisdom itself. Where wisdom is positioned as a potential for environmentally friendly and sustainable development. So this study looks at how the strategy of Panglima Laot as an institution of adat laot or local wisdom which is a maritime cultural heritage that developed in Aceh coast in maintaining sustainable coastal environment. This research was conducted in Pidie District of Aceh Province, where Pidie District is one of the coastal regency in Aceh. By borders, the North side of the regency is bounded by the Malacca Strait, South by West Aceh and Aceh Jaya Regencies, the East with Pidie Jaya Regency and the West is bounded by the Regency of Aceh Besar. This research uses qualitative research methods. In addition, the study also uses a multi-disciplinary approach. The approach used in this research is the approach of sociology, anthropology and history. The existence of three disciplinary approaches, can provide a comprehensive description of Panglima Laot, so that the researchers can build concepts in answering research problems. The results of this study indicates that, Panglima Laot as chief of adat (custom) has its own role in regulating fishermen as coastal custom communities. The existence of Panglima Laot is strategic enough in limiting the behavior of fishing communities, especially behavior that can damage the coastal environment. To curb such behavior, the Panglima Laot undertook by customary approach as a strategy in preventing the destruction to the coastal environment caused by the behavior of fishermen. The customary approach strategy used by panglima laot as adat leader in encouraging sustainable coastal maritime conservation in Pidie District.

Senegal's fisheries policies: Evolution and performance

In 2016, Senegal's fisheries contributed 14.63% of total value of export earnings, representing 3.2% of Gross Domestic Product and employed an estimated 600,000 people, of which 30% were women. It is very important for Senegal to establish an effective policy system and protect its valuable fisheries resources. To realize this goal, scientists, government officials, and related parties should critically reflect upon fisheries policies and their performance. Given the high institutional instability in the country, this paper discusses the various policies adopted during different Senegalese political regimes, their evolution, and their implementation. This study also assesses how these policies impacted the availability of fishery resources in the country, and changed fishermen's behavior and income. We find that although some policies are effective, the overall policy system is still in dire need to be improved, as fisheries are still experiencing a downward trend due to illegal fishing and overfishing. We also find that the motorization of pirogues contributed to increasing the catch volumes and the extension of fishing areas. However, the signs of declining volumes of landings noted in the 1981s prompted the authorities to take advantage of specific management measures and regulations for the protection and restoration of habitats and overexploited marine resources. We propose a model of policy formulation based on stakeholder theory that deals realistically with issues of over-exploitation and illegal fishing, where all the interested parties should strongly participate in the decision-making process.

The impact of catch shares on multiregional fishery participation and effort: The case of west coast harvesters in the Alaska fisheries

Rationalization in fisheries has been shown to lead to the slowing of fishing activity, input and effort consolidation, cost savings, and new market and product development. The effects of rationalization on fishermen's behavior become more complex when one accounts for the spillover effects that catch share programs can create in other fisheries and regions. Recently available annual costs and earnings data allow us to quantify the average marginal effects of the U.S. West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program on fisheries in Alaska. Empirical results indicate that the primary drivers of harvest in the Alaska fisheries are vessel size and operating costs for catcher vessels that deliver to West Coast mothership processors and shoreside processing plants. Rationalization does not appear to have a statistically significant impact on whether and to what extent catcher vessels that are endorsed to fish in both regions actually fish in Alaska. The advent of catch shares on the West Coast has in effect harmonized fishery management across the two regions. Conditional on fishing in Alaska, the advent of catch shares in the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery has lengthened the number of days at sea in Alaska for the West Coast catcher vessels that participate in the Alaska fisheries. This result is in line with the fact that after rationalization, catcher vessels have increasingly harvested in one region rather than fishing in both regions.

Amount and distribution of benthic marine litter along Sardinian fishing grounds (CW Mediterranean Sea)

Reports of marine litter pollution first appeared in scientific literature of the early 1970s; yet, more than 40 years later, no rigorous estimates exist of the amount of litter existing in the marine environment. To cope with this global urgency, this study reports the status of marine litter abundance along fishing grounds surrounding the island of Sardinia (CW Mediterranean Sea; FAO Geographical Sub-Area 11) through three years of trawl surveys. A total of 302 hauls, covering a total of 18.4 km2 of trawled surface were carried out in the framework of the MEDITS campaign, at depths comprised between 0 and 800 m. A total of 918 items were collected and sorted, with the highest concentration observed above 200 m depth. Overall, plastic was the dominant component of litter, followed by glass and metal. Comparing our results with other areas from the Mediterranean basin, Sardinian waters showed a lower impact, possibly as a consequence of multiple factors such as the lower human population density and the low flow of the main rivers, among others. In addition, fishermen behaviour with respect to marine litter was investigated by mean of anonymous questionnaires, emphasizing the necessity to further develop management policies and infrastructures supporting litter disposal.

Integration of fisheries into marine spatial planning: Quo vadis?

The relationship between fisheries and marine spatial planning (MSP) is still widely unsettled. While several scientific studies highlight the strong relation between fisheries and MSP, as well as ways in which fisheries could be included in MSP, the actual integration of fisheries into MSP often fails. In this article, we review the state of the art and latest progress in research on various challenges in the integration of fisheries into MSP. The reviewed studies address a wide range of integration challenges, starting with techniques to analyse where fishermen actually fish, assessing the drivers for fishermen's behaviour, seasonal dynamics and long-term spatial changes of commercial fish species under various anthropogenic pressures along their successive life stages, the effects of spatial competition on fisheries and projections on those spaces that might become important fishing areas in the future, and finally, examining how fisheries could benefit from MSP. This paper gives an overview of the latest developments on concepts, tools, and methods. It becomes apparent that the spatial and temporal dynamics of fish and fisheries, as well as the definition of spatial preferences, remain major challenges, but that an integration of fisheries is already possible today.

Surveying while fishing in the slope areas off Brazil: direct assessment of fish stock abundance from data recorded during commercial trawl fishing operations

Estimating the total biomass of fish stocks available for fishing at any one time can highly improve the process of deciding upon sustainable fishing management measures. However, countries where fishing resources are not abundant or valuable can hardly justify a regular investment in costly direct stock assessment programs. One way of overcoming such difficulties is to use catch rate data recorded from monitored commercial fishing operations, usually made available through the implementation of less expensive Observers programs. However, this data is prone to overestimate biomass of targeted stocks, because fishermen tend to operate in high-density areas. This study addresses this issue by exploring the use of geostatistical models to estimate biomass of three slope fish stocks of the Brazilian EEZ: codling ( Urophycis mystacea ), hake ( Merluccius hubbsi ) and monkfish ( Lophius gastrophysus ). The analysis included 25,824 commercial trawls conducted off Brazil between 2000 and 2009. Global biomass tonnage estimations were: codling 16,402 ton in 2001 and 23,816 ton in 2002; hake 267,712 ton in 2001 and 233,107 ton in 2002; monkfish 51,947 ton in 2001 and 16,998 ton in 2002. Values exceeded those obtained by scientific surveys conducted in the same period and area, but an in-depth analysis of methods employed demonstrated that such overestimation was only significant in the case of hake, the main target of the trawl fleet during the study period. The study showed that geostatistical models are most effective in reducing bias introduced by fishermen behavior when some catches away from high density areas are available. Those tend to be rare in the case of major target-species.

External validity of artefactual field experiments: A study on cooperation, impatience and sustainability in an artisanal fishery in Colombia

This paper contributes to the experimental analysis of sustainable behavior in artisanal fisheries and the external validity of economic experiments. We run a standard one-shot public goods experiment and two time preferences experiments with fishermen from Tasajera. It is a small fishing community located in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, which depends mainly on the fishery resources of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta for its livelihood. To investigate the external validity of the experiments, we related the fishermen's individual decisions in the experiments to some indices measuring the ecological impact of fishing activities among the same group of fishermen. We found that fishermen's contributions to the public good and their levels of impatience are not robustly correlated to their real fishing behavior. We argue that the link between fishermen's behavior in the field experiments and real life could be associated to various factors, such as the specific context in which fishermen live, and the way in which cooperation in real life is measured.

Providing incentives for fishermen through rights-based co-management systems. An impact-assessment on Basque fisheries

This research examines the social, economic and coercive incentives provided by fisheries management measures. Qualitative information was collected through interviews, and focus groups were organized to gather knowledge from regional stakeholders, to provide regional and European authorities with empirical evidence of the perceived legitimacy of current and future management measures under different co-management systems. Legitimacy greatly influences fishermen's behavior and therefore compliance. Qualitative and quantitative information are combined in an impact-assessment analysis to identify bio-socioeconomic impacts of different management measures on the fishing activity, under the current Common Fisheries Policy, in the medium and long term. The results will help regional and European authorities define new management measures aimed at providing the right incentives to achieve the results. This paper demonstrates the necessity of introducing management measures that combine the various types of incentives mentioned.
