Diversity and origins of giant guitarfish and wedgefish products in Singapore

Abstract Giant guitarfishes (Glaucostegidae) and wedgefishes (Rhinidae) are some of the most threatened marine taxa in the world, with 15 of the 16 known species exhibiting global population declines and categorized as Critically Endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The recent inclusion of all species in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) necessitates more rigorous enforcement by regulatory authorities. Challenges in regulating the trade of giant guitarfish and wedgefish products due to difficulties in visual identification of processed products and labelling issues impede enforcement. The aim of this study is to characterize the diversity and origins of associated traded products that were commercially available in Singapore, one of the world's top importers and re‐exporters of shark and ray products. A total of 176 samples of elasmobranch products were obtained between June and December 2019 from fishery ports and various retailers in Singapore. By applying cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene barcoding, 31 elasmobranch species were detected, with 55% of the species considered threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable) based on the IUCN Red List and 35% of species listed in CITES Appendix II. Four species of giant guitarfishes and wedgefishes were commercially available to consumers in fresh forms of whole fish, fillet, and fin, as well as dried and cooked meats. DNA barcoding has proven to be an effective tool for identifying elasmobranch products that are impossible to recognize visually and would aid enforcement of CITES trade regulations. This work underscores the urgent need to step up enforcement of marine wildlife regulations and draw public attention to the elasmobranch trade.

Assessing illegal fishing and trade of Atlantic billfish and swordfish by DNA-based identification

Due to the morphological similarity between some billfish species, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) recommends the use of molecular tools to identify billfish at the species level to properly manage this imperiled group. In this study, species-specific swordfish and billfish identification was carried out by using PCR-RFLP and multiplex PCR of the mitochondrial COI gene. Samples were obtained during landings of the tuna fleet at the Public Fisheries Port of Santos (PFPS) and in the General Warehouse Company of Sao Paulo (CEAGESP), Brazil. A total of 87 samples from PFPS were identified: Kajikia albida, Tetrapturus georgii, T. pfluegeri, Makaira nigricans, and Istiophorus platypterus. At CEAGESP, 432 individuals were collected, and three species were detected: Xiphias gladius, I. platypterus and T. georgii. Some samples presented an unknown band pattern for PCR-RFLP, which were sequenced and identified as X. gladius. These findings demonstrate that billfishes protected by law are being caught by industrial fisheries, but they are not traded at the CEAGESP. We advocate continuous onboard and of landings fishing monitoring using molecular identification tools in accordance with ICCAT recommendations. We provided evidence that DNA-based methods are efficient in overcoming billfish misidentification in the Atlantic Ocean.

The sharks and rays at Singapore’s fishery ports

The status of elasmobranchs in Southeast Asia has been highlighted as a serious concern, yet there are limited data to assess stocks and develop appropriate management plans. Surveys of elasmobranchs at two fishery ports in Singapore were conducted between 2017 and 2020. These fishery ports receive fresh, whole imports of seafood from the region as well as seafood caught in Singapore waters. Data were collected on 13,817 rays, 2,480 sharks, and 1,297 wedgefishes and giant guitarfishes over 102 surveys. The majority of elasmobranchs were imported from Indonesia or Malaysia, and only a few individuals (six sharks and 278 rays) were reportedly caught within Singapore waters. In Singapore, elasmobranchs are predominantly used for their meat, and wedgefish snouts are also commonly used in collagen soup. The data collected highlights potential conservation concerns, particularly surrounding the large volumes of Maculabatis gerrardi and Maculabatis macrura rays (categorized as Vulnerable and Not Assessed by the IUCN) that are imported, and the high proportions of immature individuals of Carcharhinus sorrah and Carcharhinus sealei sharks. During this study, a single Rhynchobatus cooki was discovered – the first reported sighting in over 20 years.

Overall, the existence of BIMANTARA is needed by both sellers and buyers at the Banjarmasin Fishery Port.

POLA PERTUMBUHAN IKAN LAYANG (Decapterus ruselli) YANG DARATKAN DI PELABUHAN PERIKANAN LABUAN BAJO KABUPATEN DONGGALA PROVINSI SULAWESI TENGAH

The growth pattern of flying fish (Decapterus ruselli) landed at the Labuan Bajo Fish Landing Base, Donggala Regency, has never been implemented. Based on this, research on estimating the growth pattern of flying fish (Decapterus ruselli) is necessary to support these fish resources' sustainable use. This research aimed to study the growth pattern of flying fish (Decapterus ruselli) in Labuan Bajo Fishery Port, Donggala. Flying fish were taken from the catch of fishers who landed their catch at Labuan Bajo Fishing Port, Donggala. Sampling was proportional to the stratified sampling method, namely groups of a small, medium, and large fish. Data were analyzed by a simple linear regression method using Microsoft Excel 2016. The results showed that the growth pattern of flying fish (Decapterus ruselli) landed in Labuan Bajo Fishery Port showed a tendency to be the same. The daily data showed a negative allometric growth pattern and a sigmoid (logistic model). The flying fish condition factor every day is good, where the average value is more than 1 (K> 1). The condition factor > 1 indicates that the flying fish caught around the waters of Banawa is in good condition.

The Role of Certification of Indonesian Ship’s Crew

With the demands of seafarers' standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Global seafarers, including those from Indonesia, must follow the terms and conditions of the 2010 Manila Amendment Standards of Training, Certifitation and Watchkeeping (STCW). The competence of fishing vessel crews is one of the main factors supporting the success of fishing operations. Mastery of crew competence is proven by competency certificates obtained through education and training as well as certification tests for fishing vessel crews by the competent authority. Competency standards for fishing vessel crews must be in accordance with the size of the vessel (vessel length and gross tonage) and the area of the fishing operation. This study aims to examine the gaps that occur between the competency certificates of fishing vessel crews and the prevailing laws and regulations in Indonesia and the contributing factors. Research has been carried out on ships with a size of more than 30 GT at the Nusantara Pelabuhan Ratu Fishery Port and Nizam Zachman Muara Baru Fishery Port, Jakarta. Primary data is obtained from documentary evidence of the crew (BST, Seaman's Book, Ankapin, Atkapin, SKK) who were on the ship. Secondary data were obtained from the ship's crew license, SPB, size of the ship (length and GT), the area of fishing operations and the prevailing laws and regulations on fishing vessel manning in Indonesia. Data processing was carried out using descriptive analysis methods with a qualitative approach. The results showed that the majority of Indonesian fishing vessel crews do not have competency certificates according to applicable regulations. This is due to the dispensation of SPB issuance and the limited time for conducting the certification test. The authorities must firmly determine the deadline for the dispensation of SPB issuance and increase the time and place for certification testing that is easily accessible to the crew.
