1999
Cholik, F. (Central Research Inst. for Fisheries, Jakarta (Indonesia))
The Central Research Institute for Fisheries (CRIFI) has prepared a 10-year Strategic Research Plan for the period 1997-2006. The research falls into three categories: (i) research to support on-going development programs, (ii) research to provide short-term alternatives, and (iii) research to provide long-term alternatives. The five major areas identified for research during the period are: utilization and management of fisheries resources and aquatic environment, development of efficient and productive fishing gear and technology, breeding and genetic improvement of aquaculture species, development of aquaculture technology, and development of post-harvest technology for handling and live transport of fish and shellfish; and fisheries product development and bio-technology in processing and treatment of fish industry wastes. At present, Indonesia is involved in networking activities within and outside the country to establish collaborative research undertakings with various institutions. In particular, Indonesia has been involved in regional projects on stock assessment of tunas in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asean Nations) region and continues to apreciate the importance of such cooperation in research. The following research areas are identified for collaboration: studies on the management of shared stocks, straddling stocks and highly migratory species; management of water bodies under stress especially the ecosystems dynamics of reservoirs used for intensive fish culture and integrated resource management; diversification of cultivated species, especially to include indigenous species; and sustaining shrimp culture industry involving research on management of acidifying ions produced by brackishwater pond reclamation to avoid pollution of surrounding areas. Status of fisheries in Indonesia is likewise discussed in the paper
