LEATHERBACK TURTLE MOVEMENT PATTERNS

Eastern Pacific leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) on the nesting beach in Parque Nacional Las Baulas, Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Leatherback turtle populations have been rapidly declining in the Pacific Ocean, primarily as a result of loss of nesting habitat, poaching of eggs, and bycatch in fisheries. Photograph by Jason Bradley, BradleyPhotographic.com. Western Pacific leatherback turtle departing Jamursba Medi, Indonesia, at Bird’s Head nesting beach at dawn. Leatherbacks return years later to lay their eggs on the beaches where they were born. Photograph by Ricardo F. Tapilatu. Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are critically endangered and have been rapidly declining in the Pacific Ocean. There are two populations in the Pacific, and our study is the first to combine satellite telemetry data from both populations. This resulted in the analysis of 135 individual tracks, the largest leatherback data set ever assembled. We identified distinct migration and foraging patterns. Leatherbacks from the West Pacific migrated to multiple foraging grounds, whereas those from the East Pacific had a more limited distribution in the southeast Pacific. This will affect their vulnerability to being caught in fisheries, a major cause of mortality. Leatherback turtle in a tropical foraging ground off the Kei Kecil Islands, Indonesia.

A leatherback turtle is captured off California, USA, so that a satellite tag can be attached. These tags provide the location of the animal and can transmit for over a year. This is a valuable technique for studying leatherbacks, which travel long distances, and has provided vital information for their management and conservation. Photograph by Helen Bailey.

The types of FAD used in Kei Kecil waters made from bamboos or plastic drum material. This research objectives are (1) determining catch composition around FAD, (2) comparing the effectiveness of two types of FAD on fishing operation, and (3) comparing the effectiveness of fishing gears, operated around the FAD. The method that used in this research was doing survey through observing fishing activities around the FAD. Fishing gear and FAD samples were determined through purposive sampling method. These data were collected from August to October 2007 in Kei Kecil Waters of South East Maluku. The kind of fish catch around FAD were scad mackerel, frigate mackerel, and barred spanish mackerel. The most dominant of catch was scad mackerel (80%), whereas percentage e of frigate mackerel and barred spanish mackerel were 19% and 1%. The composition of the length size of scad mackerel, frigate mackerel, and barred spanish mackerel were dominated by the large size. Type of bamboo FAD was more efective compared with the plastic drum FAD type. Purse seine fishing was more efective compared with gillnet and troll line fishing that operated around rumpon.
