The environmental friendliness level of the trammel net in Kuala Langsa, Langsa City, Aceh Province

The development of fishing activities in Kuala Langsa water can continually increase the number of trammel net. Statistical data showed that the number of trammel net in Langsa in 2013 was 84 units and the number increased to 152 units in 2016. The main target of trammel net is shrimp. Whereas in reality the most catches are fish, with different species, small sizes of fish and not sellable. The objective of the present study was to assess the enviromental friendliness level of trammel net to the environment. Data collection was carried out by experimental fishing, with 3 samples of purse seine ships and 3 catching trips each. The data collected were number of fishes, species and size of the length and weight of the fishes. Data were analyzed using Shannon diversity index, Simpson dominance index, and scoring analysis (based on the 9 criteria of CCRF (Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries) about the environmental friendliness level of fishing gear). The results showed that the catch species diversity index was average 0.80 (high diversity index; low fishing gear selectivity) and average of dominance index was 0.27 categorized as low dominance (no dominance of certain species). The total score of the enviromental friendliness level was 27 which means trammel net categorized as less friendly to the environment.

The intention contained in laws and regulations concerning the conservation of fish resources is so that there are activities that lead to protection of fish resources as a whole. During this time the utilization of fish resources more dominant done compared to the protection and preservation, so the impact on the aquatic ecosystem. The purpose of this research is to examine international agreements regarding the conservation of fish resources which have been ratified and implemented into other policies and legislation in order to become a guideline in behavior so bring a change in society. This research is a descriptive qualitative using a data source from an earlier study results and document the latest libraries. Results of the study that the conditions of the CCRF (Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries) became a legal basis in the formulation of the provisions concerning the management of fish resources responsibly. Sustainable fisheries zone were never regulated in the regulation of the management of conservation areas. The Fisheries Act has yet to implement the provisions of the UN fish stocks agreement of 1995 relating to the conservation and management of fish resources in the ZEE and Indonesia on the high seas. Therefore the Fisheries Act require refinement, considering Indonesia has been a member of two regional fisheries management organization and ratify the UNITED NATIONS Agreement on fish stocks of 1995.

National fisheries chart 2000: a new instrument for fisheries management in inland waters

Institutional and legal frameworks have a widescope and need for improving or refiningexisting fisheries management tools, and forincreasing capabilities of the public andprivate sectors to better manage thedevelopment of fisheries activities, either inmarine or freshwater ecosystems. Despite thelarge surface area covered by inland waters inMexico, its production during the last 20 yearsremained at the same level, i.e. productionused for local consumption in rural areassupports food for the poorest communities. Thepresent document deals with the most recentlegal exercise that shows that there are manyopportunities to strengthen technicalcooperation and develop policies and commercialissues related to freshwater fish in inlandwaters. The Mexican federal administration during theyears 1994 to 2000 fully endorsed policies thatbenefited the relationship between thegovernment and fisheries sector. The Code ofConduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), wasadopted in 1995 as a global intergovernmentalconsensus on the promotion of sustainablefisheries and aquaculture developments.Following its basic principles and norms, theNational Fisheries Institute (INP) elaboratedthe National Fisheries Chart in 2000. This isan example of recent advances to develop legalinstruments that fit the need for fisheriesmanagement. Such efforts and theirimplementation can be seen through technicaldata sheets in the (CNP) as well as othersuggestions provided to further promote thesustainable development of inland fisheries inMexico.

The FAO definition of sustainable development and the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries: an analysis of the related principles, criteria and indicators

In 1988, FAO adopted its definition of sustainable development. In 1995 it adopted a Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, which offers an integrated comprehensive framework for the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture. The paper analyses briefly the correspondence between the principles contained in the definition and the provisions contained in the Code. It shows that both texts represent a sustainability framework (with different degree of detail) and identifies the main criteria and indicators implicitly or explicitly called for in both the FAO definition and Code of Conduct.
