INTRODUCTION
Background
Kecamatan Sungai Kakap has a coast line facing directly to South Chinese
Sea. Most of this area is covered by mangrove plants such as; Bruguiera, Sonneratia,
and Nypha frutican. Therefore this area has high potency of marine biodiversity
(Marine and Fisheries Agency of West Kalimantan Province 2002).
The potency of fishery resources in this region consist of; fish, shrimp, crab
and mollusks. However, shrimp resource is more dominant exploited by fisherman
at the moment. The potency of shrimp resources in this region consists of; small
white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa), yellow shrimp (Metapenaeus brevicornis),
greasbaek shrimp (Metapenaeus ensis), red shrimp (Solenocera subnuda) and white
shrimp (Penaeus indicus). Most of the shrimp resources are caught by trawlers
except small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa) that is caught by setnet because
this shrimp occur in shallower marine water.
Most of the people living in coastal area of Kecamatan Sungai Kakap are
fisherman. They generally work as a fishing boat crew or work using their own
fishing boats to fulfill their family need. Their catches are landed in Sungai Kakap
Catch Landing Base that is facilitated by some infrastructures such as leaning pond,
bridge, auction hall, warehouse, fuel station, docking, and other facilities. According
to Marine and Fisheries Agency of Kabupaten Pontianak (2003) the number of
fisherman in Sungai Kakap Landing Base tends to increase every year. The recent
record in 2003 showed that the number of fisherman is 930.
Most of the fisherman in this region catches fish or shrimp in marine water of
South Chine Sea not far from their village using gillnet, trap, long line, hook and
trawl. This activity gives high income for fisherman but the operation cost is
relatively high. Therefore, not all of fishermen have capability to catch fish or shrimp
in offshore waters. Fishery resource in estuary water is the only choice for artisanal
fisherman in Kecamatan Sungai Kakap. At present, there are several of fishing gears
used by fisherman to exploit fishery resources in Sungai Kakap estuary such as
setnet, trap, casnet, hook and other gears. One of fishery commodities which has high
price in the market is small white shrimp (Metapeanaeus lysianassa). Therefore most
of fishermen in this region are more attracted to catch it. Setnet is the most used
gears to catch it. The use of setnet tends to increase during the decade. For example
2 to 123 units. (Fishery and Marine Agency of Kecamatan Sungai Kakap 2005). The
increasing numbers of setnets in this estuary provides more work for fishermen. It
also increases total catch of shrimp production landed in catch landing base of
Sungai Kakap. However, the condition does not automatically have positive relation
toward fishermen productivity. CPUE trend of small white shrimp fishery in Sungai
Kakap estuary is estimated to decrease during the decade. According to Naamin
(1992) in order to achieve success in managing penaeid shrimp resources, the
knowledge of biological aspects, such as name and recognition, life cycle, habitat,
ambient parameter, distribution and spawning season, are very important.
Interconnected to the issues, there are some questions to be addressed to the
shrimp fishery utilization as follow:
1) What is distribution pattern of small white shrimp caught by setnet in Sungai
Kakap estuary?
2) How is size distribution of the small white shrimp caught by setnet in Sungai
Kakap estuary?
3) What is the spatial distribution pattern of setnet operated by fisherman in Sungai
Kakap estuary?
4) What is CPUE trend of the small white shrimp resource caught by setnet in
Sungai Kakap estuary?
The objectives
Based on many issues of small white shrimp fishery and to answer several
questions above, the objectives of the study are:
1) To obtain the distribution pattern of small white shrimp caught by setnet in
Sungai Kakap estuary
2) To obtain the sizes distribution of small white shrimp caught by setnet in Sungai
Kakap estuary
3) To reveal the spatial distribution of setnet deployment in Sungai Kakap estuary
4) To obtain CPUE trend of small white shrimp caught by setnet in Sungai Kakap
estuary
Research framework
Shrimp are important food for the country which gives a contribution to
provide protein, work and also national income. The old regime polices in fisheries
production is solely for production orientation, which may lead to over exploitation
3 been changed into sustainable development. Therefore in managing coastal
resources, some factors such as the potency of the resources, numbers of fishing
gears, fishing efforts, biological information of the resources, etc are needed.
Research framework of this study can be seen in Fig. 1.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Shrimp resources
Shrimp resources are essential food source that contains protein to support
human life. This resource has been utilized by human since long times ago to fulfill
their need. Shrimp resource is a renewable resource. However, this resource does not
mean no limitation to exploit. Therefore it needs good management to ensure the
sustainability of shrimp resource and to give contribution toward; protein, economic
and community prosperity (FAO 1996).
Taxonomy and life cycle of small white shrimp
Small white shrimp taxonomically is classified as follows (Lovett 1981):
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Crustacea
Sub class: Malacostraca
Series: Eumalacostraca
Super order: Eucarida
Order: Decapoda
Sub order: Natantia
Family: Penaeidae
Genus: Metapenaeus
Species: Metapenaeus lyssianassa (de Man 1888)
Common name: Small white shrimp
Local name: udang ambai (West Kalimantan)
Physically small white shrimp has reddish yellow color with brown spot on
the body. The color of walking and swimming legs are yellowish white with blue
spot encircles on the leg ankles. The color of shrimp tail includes telson and uropod
is reddish yellow with nutbrown spot on the tail tip. The physical picture of small

This shrimp has a short rostrum with six teeth on top of rostrum and there are
not teeth on underside of rostrum. Physically sex can be differentiated based on
genital organ of shrimp. Male of small white shrimp is characterized with petasma
that is located between the first of swimming legs (pleopod) and female of small
white shrimp is characterized by thelycum that is located between the fourth and fifth
of walking legs (periopod). External genital organ of small white shrimp is expressed
in Fig. 3.

Shrimps occur and inhabit both marine and estuary habitats and adult shrimps
spawn offshore in marine waters. The fertilized eggs become free swimming larvae
and after several moults they enter estuary and coastal wetlands (Turner 1983).
Wetlands within the estuary offer both a concentrated food source and a refuge from
predators. After growing into juvenile the shrimps leave the estuary to move offshore
6 marine water are influenced by tides, lunar cycles, maturation state, and estuary
temperature change (Blackmon 1974). Life cycle of penaeid shrimp in general can be
seen in Fig.4.
Fig. 4: Life cycle of penaeid shrimps ( Keyon 2004)
Morphology of penaeid shrimp
Shrimp is a large group of crustaceans that include varying in size from 2 cm
to over 35 cm in length. In general, shrimp body of genus penaeidae is almost
laterally compressed, the rostrum is usually composed and toothed and the abdomen
longer than the carapace (Chaitiamvong and Supongpan 1992). Futhermore they also
mention that morphological features of penaeidae shrimp includes the rostrum and
the carapace, antennules and antennae, maxillipeds, pereopods and branches,
pleopods. According to Lovett (1981), penaeid shrimp has characteristics that
include gill numerous. Rostrum laterally compressed, usually well developed and
rostrum has more than 3 teeth. General shrimp morphology is presented in Fig. 5
7 Shrimps have two pairs of whiplike antennae that contain sensory organs for
taste and touch, which help shrimps to find food. Bottom-dwelling species are
quickly attracted by the scent of dead remains. Many shrimp’s species also have
bulging compound eyes that are made up of hundreds of lenses joined together. The
eyes act as an early warning system against predators. Shrimps react instantly if they
see anything moving overhead. Deep-sea shrimps have light-producing organs,
called photophores, that scientists believe may help to identify mates in the dark
depths of the sea (NOAA 2001).
General behavior and shrimp habitat
Shrimp is considered as a nocturnal biota. Shrimp prefer to forage at the night
than at the day time. They also like to hide inside the mud or stick on the objects that
sink in the water. Cannibalism behavior is common phenomenon in shrimp (Suyanto
and Mujiman 2004).
Naturally the food of shrimp depends on their life stage. During larva stage,
shrimp feeds plankton. In nature, adult shrimp feeds soft meat fauna, crustacea,
worm, etc.(Suyanto and Mujiman 2004). Furthermore Thomas (1978) explains that
considerable differences have been noticed in the food preferences of the various
larva stages, juvenile and adult shrimp. The larvae in the nauplies stage do not feed at
all, as they have food reserve in form of yolk. But protozoea larvae feed voraciously
on phytoplankton. Adult shrimps feed on a variety of animal and plant material
available in the area where they live.
Marine shrimps live in wide distributed marine waters in all over the world.
Their habitat includes shallow marine water, estuary with low salininty. Some of
them even inhabit nearly fresh water boundary and in contrast, some other species
prever to live in open deep sea with high salinity. They ussually prever to stay in
muddy substrat and others prever to stay in coral reefs (Dore and Frimodt 1987).
Futhermore Macia (2004) explain that the habitats preferred by penaeid species are
diverse, include mangroves, seagrass and macroalgae as well as estuaries, mudflats
and sand flats.
One of good habitats for shrimp is mangrove ecosystem. According to
Primavera (1997) mangrove ecosystem has a capability to provide food availability,
as nurseries for shrimp and it also shelters shrimp from predator. Predation is
probably the major cause of shrimp mortality because food supplies in estuarine
8 tolerance to physicochemical factors. Protection from predation is offered by
physical structure (e.g. seagrass blades and mangrove roots), substratum and
turbidity, in combination with shrimp behavior such as hiding and burying.
Futhermore Hossain (2001) explains that mangrove ecosystem is a suitable feeding,
breeding and nurshery ground for various marine, estuarine and freshwater fishery
resources. The net like spread root system of mangrove plays as a coastal stabilizer
and binder of sediment and thus aids in preventing erosion in mangrove areas.
Lovett (1987) and Dore (1997) mention that habitat of shrimp Genus
Metapenaeus is rather difference with others. Metapenaeus shrimp ussually inhabits
and be distributed throughout the shallow coastal water and sometime found in
brackish water, creeks, swam and even in nearly fresh water. Most of the shrimp are
classified as small shrimps and their distribution in the Indo West pacific region
range from Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand (Dore 1997). Beside that
genus Parapeneopsis is also widely distributed in shallow coastal waters. On the
other hand the members of genus Penaeus, Solenocera, Metapenaeopsis,
Trachypenaeus are all deep water shrimp species that do not commonly occur in
abundance in coastal waters (Lovett 1987).
According to Aziz et al. (1983) the distribution of penaeid shrimp in
Indonesia achieve 26 species. Penaeidae has 110 species that is separated in some
places in the world. Furthermore that penaeid shrimps that inhabit in the marine
water of Indonesia consist of Penaeus merguiensis, Penaeus indicus, Penaeus
orientalis, Penaeus monodon, Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus canaliculatus,
Penaeus latisulcatus, Metapenaeus ensis, Metapenaeus affinis, Metapenaeus
dobsoni, Metapenaeus elegans, Metapenaeus endeavouri, Metapenaeus monoceros,
Metapenaeus lyssianassa, and some species of Trachypenaus, Parapenaeopsis and
Solenocera.
Estuary biota
There are some definitions of an estuary because several geomorphologic
features of coastlines. According to Nybakken (1997), an estuary is a place where
freshwater and saltwater meet and mix. This definition implies the free connection of
the sea with the freshwater source, at least during a part of the year. Furthermore
Nybakken (1997) mention that most estuaries have soft, muddy substrates. These are
9 Estuary is highly dynamic coastal environment which are influenced by
physical, chemical and biological aspects, seasonal and tidal changes in temperature,
salinity and other factors (Kennish 1990). According to Blaber (1997), the tropical
estuary environment can be divided into four categories. The first is open estuary, the
second is estuarine coastal water, the third is blind estuary and the last is coastal lake.
Open estuary are never isolated from the sea and subject to tidal influence with all its
physical consequences of regular salinity, turbidity and current flow changes, tidal
prism, haloclines and intertidal habitats.
According to Kennish (1990), the structure estuary water can be classified
into four groups during low flow condition base on average annual salinity of estuary
water, as follow: the first is polyhaline estuary that has water salinity from 18‰ to
30‰, the second is mesohaline estuary that has annual water salinity from 5‰ to
18‰, the third is ougohaline estuary that has annual water salinity from 0.5‰ to 5‰
and the last tidal fresh water estuary that has annual water salinity less than 0.5‰
There are three types of fauna in estuaries; marine, freshwater and brackish
water or estuarine fauna. Marine fauna that inhabit in estuaries have characteristic to
be unable or barely able to tolerate salinity changes. These organisms are usually
restricted to the mouths of estuaries where salinity is generally 25‰ or above. These
faunas are often the same species found in the open sea. The brackish water or true
estuarine species are found in the middle reaches of the estuary in salinities between
5-18‰ but not found in freshwater or in full seawater. The last fauna found in
estuary is derived from freshwater. These types of fauna usually cannot tolerate
salinities much above 5‰ (Nybakken 1997).
Furthermore Osborne (2000) explains that estuaries are not easy places to
inhabit and few species have been able to adapt to estuarine conditions because
organisms that live in estuaries to be able to cope with salinity changes. Species that
have adapted often thrive there, developing into adult and they become productive
populations. The composition of fauna variety and diversity in estuary depends upon
in the size, depth, physical characteristics such as salinity and turbidity and also
geographical location of estuary in relation to marine feature such as ocean currents,
canyons and reefs (Blaber 1997).
Capture fisheries management
Fisheries management can be defined as the use of all types of information
10 goals related to the use of fisheries resources (Karjalainen and Marjomaki 2005). The
goals of capture fisheries management are complex and broad in concept, touching
benefits such as increased food supply, increased earnings of poor people or
increased export earnings are inherently good goal but the realization of these goal
are complex because of the diversity of the fisheries (Royce 1996).
According to Karjalainen and Marjomaki (2005) fisheries management
consists of some elements as follow:
1) Assessment (i.e. determining stock sizes, the extent of fishing efforts and fishing
catches and recognizing alternative management objectives)
2) Decision making
3) Selection of harvest strategy and tactics
4) Implementation of chosen set of management tactics and measures, and
5) Controls over implementation
Furthermore ISRS (2004) explains that in order to achieve goals related to the
use of fisheries resources, fisheries management has six basic options. These include
restricting to:
1) The numbers of people or boats fishing
2) The time allowed for fishing
3) The fishing area
4) Gear or technology
5) The sizes that can be harvested
6) The species being selected
According to Karjalainen and Marjomaki (2005) in capture fisheries
management, the extent of fishing efforts will be adjusted to produce a sustainable
state, i.e. the maximum biomass, maximum fishing employment, maximum
sustainable yield, and maximum economic yield.
The objectives of fisheries management
The objectives of fisheries management according to Wallace and Fletche
(1996) are to ensure the sustainable production over time from fish stocks, preferably
through regulatory and enhancement options that generate economic and social well
being of the fishermen and industries that use the production. According to Reynold
(2002), the goal of fisheries management is to maximize the economic opportunities
11 context, according to Bonfile (2004), fisheries management objectives can be defined
into at least three categories as follow:
1. Biological and Conservation Objectives
In modern world of fisheries, management tries to balance multiple objectives
that span beyond biological concerns. Standard indicator of biological yield is the
annual weight or number fish / shrimp caught.
2. Social objectives
Social objectives are concerned with employment and equity. Fisheries are
not only about landing fish and making money out of it, but also about employing
people and making sure that those involved in the fisheries make a living that is
adequate and sustainable.
3. Recreational objectives
For recreational purposes, both the catch and effort (number of successful
fishing trips) might be important objectives. The total number of fish available, and
in specific case of trophy fish (such as marlins, swordfish or tunas), the size of the
fish will be outmost important. It may be possible that the standard indicators for
recreational fisheries include the estimated total value of recreational effort and the
number and size of the recreational catch.
According to Silvester and Pauly (1997), fisheries management may be
viewed as a dynamic resource allocation process where the ecological and
institutional resources of a fishery exploitation system are distributed with value to
society as the overall goal. The fisheries management process shall include the
resolution of normative and empirical debate to determine the direction of resource
decisions where the final goal of fisheries management is to achieve a sustainable
fisheries development. The sustainable fisheries development can be defined into
some purposes as follow:
1. Productivity / efficiency, for examples; high fish production / revenue, high catch
/ effort, high foreign exchange earnings, supply stability and high returns on
investment
2. Distribution equity, for examples; equal access to production factory, reasonable
artisanal catches, reasonable fish prices, reasonable artisanal income, and high
employment level.
3. Environment integrity, for examples; reasonable water quality, reduced pressure
on critical habitats, reduced stress on biodiversity and use of nondestructive
12 4. Institutional efficiency/effectiveness. The effectiveness of governmental
institutions in managing fisheries sector is very important to minimize budget
loss and optimize the objectives that will be derived in managing fisheries sector.
Furthermore according to NSW Fisheries (2003), the goals of shrimp
management interconnected with many issues on shrimp fisheries are:
1) To manage the shrimp trawl fishery in a manner that promotes the conservation
of biological diversity in the marine water environment.
2) To maintain target and bycatch species harvested by the shrimp trawl fishery at
sustainable levels.
3) To promote the conservation of threatened species, populations and ecological
communities associated with the operation of the shrimp trawl fishery.
4) To appropriately share the resource and carry out fishing in a sustainable manner
that minimizes social impacts.
5) To promote a viable commercial fishery (consistent with ecological
sustainability).
6) To ensure cost-effective and efficient management and compliance in the marine
water shrimp fishery.
7) To improve the knowledge of the community about the operations and
management of the shrimp trawl fishery.
8) To improve the knowledge about the shrimp trawl fishery and the resources upon
which the fishery relies.
Fisheries regulation
Reviewing to the symptom of overfishing that occurred in some marine water
areas, government regulation which arranges the exploitation level of fisheries
resources become very important. The aim of fisheries regulation should also
accommodate all of important needs not only for human life but also for environment
itself. According to King (1997) fisheries regulation are imposed on fishery to
support a strategy designed to achieve predefined objective. Furthermore King also
mentions that fisheries regulation also important to protect particular parts of stock.
Small individuals can be protected by regulations such as minimum mesh size, legal
minimum length and closures, and breeding stock can be protect by closed seasons.
Government intervention to reduce the negative impact of fisheries activities can be
undertaken through input control and output control. Input controls can be done
13 fishing gear, closures, minimizing the mesh sizes and escape gaps in the traps.
Output controls can be done trough; sizes limits (minimum legal lengths), rejection
of females or spawning females, catch quotas, and enforcement of regulations.
Regionally, regulation of fishery resources established by local government of
Kabupaten Pontianak at present are still limited. Most of fishery policies are
orientated on tax and retribution from fishery commodity. For examples local
government regulation established by Kabupaten Pontianak number 12 in the year
2002 is about retribution at fishery business (Perda Kabupaten Pontianak 2002). The
latest regulation established by local government in the year 2006 is about fish
auction retribution. (Draft Perda Kabupaten Pontianak 2006). Fishery regulation
which regulates fishing gear deployment, preservation and protection of marine and
fishery resources in this region are still not available.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Study site
This study was conducted in April 2006 – June 2006, in Kecamatan Sungai
Kakap, Kabupaten Pontianak, West Kalimantan. To study shrimp distribution in
Sungai Kakap estuary, twelve stations were established in this site. The station was
based on the salinity. The station position was measured by hand held GPS (global
position system). The station deployment is expressed in Fig.6.
Fig.6. Stations deployment in Sungai Kakap estuary
The shrimp samples were taken from stations one time a week at ebb tide
period with time interval 05.30 – 9.00 a.m. during 15 minutes operation and shrimp
samples were counted and identified.
Respondents
In this study the information on the price of small white shrimp and
operational cost to catch the shrimp is needed for economic analysis. The
information was obtained by interviewing fishermen. The number of interviewed
15
n = N / (1 + Ne2 )
Where:
n = Sample size
N = Population size
e = Critic value (10%)
The numbers of small white shrimp fisherman calculated by the formula were
48 people (Appendix 2).
Setnet
Setnet is the main gear to catch small white shrimp in Sungai Kakap estuary
(local name: jaring ambai). Setnet materials consist of; the end pocket with 0.5 inch
mesh size from pholyetiline, the middle pocket with 1 inch mesh size from
pholyetiline, the front pocket with 1.5 inch mesh size from pholyetiline. To direct the
shrimp comes to the pocket, fisherman constructs wing in each side. Setnet wing is
built from bamboo or frond of Nypha frutican. The sketch of setnet is illustrated in
Fig.7.

Shrimp length
Shrimp length measurement was divided into total length and carapace
length. This measurement was undertaken to obtain the information of shrimp length
16
Shrimp weight
The weight of shrimp was measured by electronic digital balance (brand
camry, model EHA121, with capacity 200 gram/128.7dwt/6.432ozt). The picture of
this tool is showed in Fig.9.
Fig.9. Shrimp weight measurement using electronic digital balance conducted in the field
Environmental parameters
Environment parameters measured directly in this study were water salinity,
water brightness, water dept, water surface temperature and air temperature. The
measurements of environment parameters were undertaken after harvesting of the
shrimp at every station during ebb tide. Water salinity of the stations were measured
using refractometer, brand Atago S/Mill and water surface temperature was
measured using mercury thermometer. Water depth was measured by stick that was
sunk into the bottom of estuary water at every research station. The illustration of
water measurement process conducted in the field can be seen in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.

Measurement of sediment texture was taken from four stations, two points
were undertaken at stations in the river water and the others were undertaken at
stations in the inner of estuary water. The sample weight of each station was 600
gram. The total samples were transported to laboratory to identify the composition of
sediment texture.
Data analysis
ANOVA two - way without replication is used to analyze carapace length
frequency of small white shrimp caught by setnet during three month observations.
According to Sokal in Nasrullah (1991) this analysis can be used to analyze the
variance of two or more variables. Non parametric test is used to analyze the
correlation between sizes distribution of shrimp and water salinity and to analyze the
correlation between CPUE and effort undertaken by fishermen to catch small white
shrimp resource in this estuary. According to Henderson (2004) non parametric test
do not assume that the samples were drawn from a normal population. Almost no
18
distribution, so non parametric test correlation analysis can be used to analyzes are
more appropriate for ecological studies.
Formulation of catch per unit effort (CPUE)
The sustainable estimation of shrimp fishery in Sungai Kakap Estuary can be
predicted from the capture productivities or it is well known as a CPUE (catch per
unit effort) done by fishermen in certain time. According to King (1985) that the
basic principle of using CPUE data is that changes in CPUE accurately reflect
changes in the abundance of fish in the stock. Furthermore Lynch (2004) explains
that catch per unit effort is an important component of stock assessment as catch
alone is often a misleading indicator of stock abundance. CPUE can be formulated as
follow:
………. (1)
Where:
h = harvest (kg)
E = effort (trip)
Economic analysis of small white shrimp fishery in Sungai Kakap estuary
Total cost needed by fisherman to catch small white shrimp consists of fixed
cost and variable cost. Fixed cost is required investment to establish effort unit.
Variable cost is needed to pay the operational requirement for sailing. Total cost is
formulated as follow:
TC = fix cost + variable cost ………..(2)
Total revenue is gross income derived from selling of shrimp production.
Total revenue is formulated as follow:
TR = p. h ………(3)
Where:
P = shrimp price
h = harvest (production)
Benefit is net income derived from selling of shrimp production. Benefit is
formulated as follow (Seijo et al 1998):
π
= TR – TC ………..(4)Where:
Π = benefit; TR = total revenue; TC = total cost E

The ecological condition of Sungai Kakap estuary
Based on the physical characteristic, Sungai Kakap estuary is an open estuary.
[image:35.612.122.509.479.650.2]21 from Sungai Kakap River, Sungai Punggur Kecil River and Sungai Punggur Besar
River. The mouth of estuary is 987 meters with total area is about 13.5 km2. The
salinity of this estuary is 5‰ to 7‰, water dept 2.5 meters and water transparency 20
cm. The bottom sediment of estuary is grumosol soil from marine sediment and it
was affected by calcium formation. Sungai Kakap estuary is surrounded by
mangrove forest. They are Nipah (Nypa fruticans) and Berembang (Sonneratia
caseolaris). This estuary ecosystem is habitat for some fauna such as; fish, shrimp,
sea bird, eagle, crocodile, monkey, snake, and bees. Fig.12 describe estuary

Sungai Kakap estuary has high potency of fishery resources but it is also
vulnerable from human activities such as; agriculture, fish processing industries, gas
station, catch landing, fish auction hall, workshop, docking, water transportation and
other economic activities.
Fishery activity is the dominant than others in this estuary. Fishing gears used
by fisherman are setnet, gillnet, trap, longline, belat, rompong and cas net. The

RESULTS
The numbers of small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lyssianassa) caught by setnet
During the study the numbers of small white shrimp caught by setnet is
different from station to station. Higher numbers of the shrimp come from station V
– X in the inner of estuary and the lower numbers come from stations I – IV in the
river and station XI in the outer of the estuary (Appendix 3). The numbers of small
white shrimp caught by setnet at each station is shown in Fig.13.

Figure 13 can also show the spatial distribution of small white shrimp in
Sungai Kakap estuary. The shrimp distribution could be influenced by aquatic
environment condition, in this case caused by different salinity. According to Hilbron
and Walters (1992) fisheries resources are not spatially homogeneous. Densities of
fisheries resource are higher in some areas than others.
According to Macia (2004), some environmetal parameters that influence the
shrimp distribution in coastal areas are salinity, temperature, turbidity and water
depth. In this study correlation between salinity and the numbers of shrimp catches is

Setnet distribution
The operation of setnet in Sungai Kakap estuary was used more than twelve
years ago. This gear is cheap and simple to operate. In addition the deployment of
setnet relatively does not disturb for small fisherman boats. The numbers of setnet in
Sungai Kakap estuary when the study conducted are 123 units. The distribution of

Catch per unit effort (CPUE) of small white shrimp fishery
The catches of small white shrimp landed in Sungai Kakap landing base tend
to increase during twelve years. This might be influenced by the increasing of
fisherman efforts. However, the increasing of shrimp production does not always
reflect the increasing of fisherman productivity. The trend of CPUE has been long
time used to express the productivity of fishermen (Berachi 2003). CPUE trend of

Economic analysis of small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa) fishery
Fisherman income using setnet in Sungai Kakap estuary is derived from
selling of small white shrimp production. Most of small white shrimp catches from
Sungai Kakap estuary are sold by local market in Kecamatan Sungai Kakap. Most of
small white shrimp is consumed by local community for fresh food and dry shrimp.
Dry shrimp is marketed to wider market. They are sold to Jakarta and Sarawak
Malaysia via middle man trader. The average price of fresh small white shrimp per
kilogram in local market at the momment is Rp.6000 while dry shrimp price per kg is
Rp.60000. Fisherman income per trip is derived from selling of shrimp production
after it is lessened by total cost per trip. Total cost consists of variable cost
(operational cost) and fixed cost (depreciation cost of fishing gear). The average of
operational cost per trip is Rp.34.400 and the depreciation cost of fishing gear is
Rp.13000 per trip or equal with total cost per trip Rp.47400 (Appendix 13 and 14).

Table 8 shows that the average of fisherman income per trip was Rp.25600.
The influence of fluctuation of shrimp production to the average of fisherman
income might be caused by catching season of small white shrimp fishery in this
estuary which is not stable every year. Based on field investigation, peak season of
small white shrimp fishery in Sungai Kakap estuary occurs in August (Appendix 17
DISCUSSION
The numbers of small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lyssianassa) caught by setnet
The individual numbers of small white shrimp caught by setnet in this site
showed different results. According to sampling position the shrimp caught were
high at stations close to the mangrove forest while shrimp caught away from the
mangrove forest in the river and in the outer of estuary were low. Mangrove forest
contributes to increase the amount of nutrient by falling leaf (Primavera, 1997). In
fact the mangrove forest is supposed to influence the abundance of shrimp in the
water and the roots of mangrove forest give shelter for shrimp from predator. The
most abundance of mangrove forest in this estuary are nipah (Nypa frutican) and
berembang (Sonneratia caseolaris). The mangrove forest area in this estuary is more
than 40 ha. However, in several places mangrove forest is cut by local community
for house construction and setnet. According to Castaneda and Defeo (2003)
vegetated habitats are important in determining the distribution of penaeids in
estuary, because they provide food and refugee from predators. Mangrove ecosystem
is a suitable feeding, breeding, and nursery ground for various marine, estuarine and
freshwater fishery resources (Hossain 2001).
Based on the salinity, the number of shrimp caught in Sungai Kakap estuary
can be grouped into three. The first group was caught in the water salinity between 1
– 2‰, the second group was caught in the water salinity between 5 – 7‰ and the
third group was caught in the water salinity 20‰. From this study small white
shrimp is estimated to prefer staying in the water salinity between 5 – 7‰.
According to Suseelan (1978) salinity is a limiting factor in the growth of most
marine prawn species both directly and indirectly. Suseelan (1978) give example that
Penaeus indicus prefers the minimum of salinity 4‰, Penaeus semisulcatus prefers
the minimum of salinity 19‰, Metapenaeus affinis and Metapenaeus dobsoni prefer
the minimum of salinity 14‰, Parapenaeus stylifera prefers the minimum of salinity
25‰, Penaeus aztecus prefers the minimum of salinity 8.5‰.
The salinity distribution in the estuary and in the river influences to the
distribution of small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa). In this study small
white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa) was found in around 4 km from coastal
water to the river. This fact is supported by study of Azis (1979) that M. bennettae

interval 0.4 – 10.7‰. Furthermore Munro in the year 1975 found P. merguiensis in
Norman River with salinity 0.46‰ in the distance 80 km from coastal water (Azis at
al 1983).
The carapace length of small white shrimp caught was analyzed by ANOVA.
The F statistic result is 1.09 < F critical value 5.14 (Appendix 6). This indicates that
the sizes of shrimp caught have no different. Range sizes of small white shrimp
caught by setnet were from carapace length 0.8 cm – 2.1 cm. The most of shrimp
caught were from carapace length 1.3 – 1.5 cm. The fact found that the bigger sizes
of shrimp are not in abundance. According to Berachi (2003) one of overfishing
symptom could be learned from a tendency to catch smaller sizes of shrimp
individually over the year. Learning from range sizes of the shrimp caught by setnet
which was composed from smaller sizes of the shrimp, it might warn that small white
shrimp population in this estuary is declining.
Sizes distribution of small white shrimp caught by setnet
During the study the bigger sizes of shrimp caught were found in higher
salinity in deeper water. While smaller sizes of the shrimp caught were from the
lower salinity area. The factor might influence to distribution of smaller sizes of
shrimp is water current. According to Macia (2004) one factor that may contribute
largely to the pattern of distribution of smaller sizes in near proximity to mangroves
could also be the water current.
The correlation analysis between salinity and small white shrimp is positive.
The result of correlation analysis showed that r statistic of shrimp sizes – water
salinity 0.89** and r statistic of shrimp sizes – water dept 0.86** (Appendix 8). It
means that water salinity and water dept have positive correlation with the sizes
distribution of small white shrimp in this estuary. There is an indication that adult
small white shrimp prefer to inhabit in deeper water with salinity interval 10 – 20‰
in front of the mouth of estuary or in coastal water. Water spaces with salinity
interval 10 – 20‰ generally is used by artisanal fishermen using setnet for fish and
gillnet.
According to fisherman the dominant shrimp species caught by trawlers in the
surrounding of Sungai Kakap marine waters with salinity more than 20‰ are yellow
shrimp (Metapenaeus brevicornis), greasbaek shrimp (Metapenaeus ensis), red
shrimp (Solenocera subnuda) and white shrimp (Penaeus indicus). But in several
34
night found small white shrimp (Metapenaeus lysianassa) in the limited numbers.
Penaeid shrimp production from trawlers with tonnage from 5 – 20 gross tones
landed in catch landing base of Sungai Kakap in the year 2005 were yellow shrimp
(Metapenaeus brevicornis) 273610 kg, greasbaek shrimp (Metapenaeus ensis)
264830 kg, red shrimp (Solenocera subnuda) 226812 kg, and
