ACIAR’s Fisheries Program
• Major goal to improve the productivity and
sustainability of fisheries & aquatic farming systems
in partner countries and Australia through
international research partnerships directed primarily
at:
– Innovative resource management approaches
– Elimination of serious adverse environmental impacts
arising from fishing or farming practices;
– Better utilisation of existing harvests; and
– The development of productive & sustainable aquatic
farming systems.
Current ACIAR Indonesia Priorities
in Fisheries (2002)
• Sustainable aquatic farming systems
• Stock assessment and management of
•
•
•
shared and common-interest fisheries
Management of inland open water fisheries
including aquaculture
Improved processing, packaging and
transport technologies
Technical cooperation to underpin posttsunami rehabilitation of fisheries**
Some facts & figures
• 31 active Fisheries projects (4 small) in total
• Indonesia remains a focal country - largest program
• Indonesia: 28 projects over 20 years – 18 aquaculture, 10
capture fisheries
• 15 active or recently concluded projects
– Aquaculture: 7 active, 2 concluded
– Capture Fisheries: 1 active, 5 concluded
• Involving over 20 Indonesian agencies and 11 Australian
organisations
• Key partners: MMAF- AFMR (6 centres); DGA (4 TIUs); DG
Capture Fisheries; DG Resources & Fisheries Control; DG
Fisheries Product Processing and Marketing; 5 Universities
• NACA
ACIAR’s Fisheries Program in
Indonesia – priority areas I
Policy options
– Aquaculture – the focus is on the development of tools to assist
farmers, planners and policy makers, particularly at local levels,
to make informed planning decisions regarding the use of land
and water resources for aquaculture
– Illegal Unregulated Unreported (IUU) Fishing is a priority for
Indonesia and the region as a whole
Pest and Disease management
– focus on small holder shrimp producers particularly extensive
systems (BMPs)
– improving diagnostic services to farmers through improved
application of PCR technology
– attention to new or emerging threats – Taura syndrome,
Koi Herpes Virus, VNN and other marine finfish diseases
ACIAR’s Fisheries Program in
Indonesia - priority areas II
Productive Smallholder Aquaculture
– Focus on high value species – shrimp, mud-crabs, marine finfish
– Development of cost effective artificial feeds, with reduced
reliance on trash-fish
– Increased attention to market and market chain issues
Sustainable utilisation & management of
fisheries resources
– Stock assessment and management of shared and common
interest fisheries
– Management of inland open water fisheries and the interface
with aquaculture through co-management arrangements
– Management of IUU Fishing
ACIAR’s Fisheries Program in
Indonesia - priority areas III
Agribusiness systems for eastern Indonesia
(SADI-SAMR)
– Four provinces – NTB,NTT,S and SE Sulawesi)
– Mariculture commodities prioritized – Seaweed (4 provinces);
Abalone hatchery/nursery technoloy; Mudcrabs; Lobster growout
, Shrimp BMPs.
– Feasibility studies initiated for some of above
Technical cooperation to underpin post
Tsunami rehabilitation of fisheries in Aceh
– Assessment of needs and resource status of key coastal
fisheries (WorldFish)
– Technical capacity building, research support, to assist the
rehabilitation of the aquaculture industry in Aceh
(AusAID/AIPRD – ACIAR, several projects )
What have we achieved - some
major impacts
www.aciar.gov.au
Common Interest Fisheries
• Cross boundary Shared fish stocks;
Indonesia Australia
– Deepwater Snapper stocks
– Sharks and Rays
– Tuna
Common Interest Fisheries
• 6 projects and more than 12 years research cooperation
• Snapper- Stock status and extent of sharing better
understood
• Tunas- data capture and analysis greatly improved for Indian
and Pacific Ocean fisheries
• Sharks/rays- >150 species, 30 new to science. Identification
Manual published. Role and importance in livelihoods
documented. National POA drafted
• Fisheries management and stock assessment skills
enhanced in Indonesian partner agencies (major focus)
• Research cooperation has facilitated formal bilateral dialogue
re future management arrangements (MMAF/AFMA) with
snapper as initial focus.
Management of IUU Fishing
IUU Fishing: Indonesia
• Major problem – $2 billion
annual loss to Indonesia
claimed.
• 2 Projects to date
• New awareness of scale of
impacts on local economy
• Draft National IUU Action Plans
• Joint Indonesia Philippines
study Celebes Sea – to develop
Regional IUU Plan
• Increased Bilateral cooperation
• Review - new project
recommended
Productive and sustainable
shrimp farming
• Effective on farm management of disease risks
• Assessment of land suitability for shrimp farming
and other forms of aquaculture
• Simple remediation methods for degraded
shrimp ponds
Effective on farm management of
disease risk for small farmers
• Suitable diagnostic services available
to small producers (tools and
expertise)
• Effective and affordable husbandry
and risk management protocols
developed and validated
• Extension focused study to improve
flow of services and technical info to
farmers (networks)
• Major new project to disseminate Best
Management Practices (BMPs) to
small shrimp farmers underway
Simple remediation methods for
degraded shrimp ponds
• ASS soils wide spread in shrimp
growing areas in Indonesia
• Acid leech water a major source of
stress to shrimp and other aquatic
fauna (disease trigger in ponds)
• Simple soil/pond treatments help
improve production
• Diversified multi - cropping
systems introduced
• Aceh project to transfer findings
Assessment of land suitability for
aquaculture (shrimp)

Marine Finfish Hatchery
& Grow out
• New culture species
• Diversified & more profitable
farming operations – backyard
hatcheries
• Improved feeds and feeding
strategies
• Regional R&D Network established
through NACA
The Future: issues and challenges
Some progress but need to more effectively capture
impacts from past research investments.
– Imperatives to broaden the partnerships to include district &
provincial DPK, private sector, and relevant NGOs
In Aquaculture
Closer cooperation with DGA-TIU centres to adapt
and extend research results more broadly within
Indonesia a recognized area of opportunity
– Joint research and extension activities
– Joint meetings to share ideas and review progress and direction,
regular training and info dissemination activities
Extending technical information and planning tools
to a large geographically dispersed and diverse
industry
The Future: issues and challenges
In Capture Fisheries
• Assessment and management of Indonesia’s complex
multi gear, multi species, multi jurisdiction fisheries (data
limitations)
• IUU Fishing – more awareness and attention to the “U”s
• Capacity building – training the next generation of
scientists
