The compilation of fisheries statistics in Southeast Asia has been regularly pursued by SEAFDEC since 1978 in the form of the "Fisheries Statistical Bulletin for the South China Sea Area". Therefore, the improvement of the framework, as well as the standard definitions and classification of fisheries statistics under the new Framework, could very well support such activities. Output in value represents the equivalent of the value of the products of reductions (monthly weighted average value, where available).
Coordinating Working Group on Fisheries Statistics (CWP) to map the specificity of the fishing situation in the region. Although the method of measuring fishing boat tonnage varies from country to country, statistics should be based on national measurement standards. The statistics on fishing units are mainly used to take into account the limitation of the number of fishing units for fisheries management. d.1 Coverage of fishing units.
To facilitate the reporting of fishing unit statistics, see Appendix 4 for details. e. Statistics on fishermen are usually obtained from the sea fisheries census of the Member States. Production can be reported by species in terms of numbers of larvae, fingerlings, fingerlings, etc.
Net area refers to the area of the cultural facilities, but limited to the water surface area, whereas.
For ponds and cages, the cultivated area will be reported as both net area and gross area, while for other culture methods this may only be reported as net area. The number of culture facilities should also be reported to facilitate aquaculture management. Aquaculture workers (or aquaculture workers) under this point refer to persons engaged in aquaculture activities, such as people working in fish farms, hatcheries and employed in the activities of shellfish farming, maintenance of aquaculture facilities, water supply, feeding, etc.
Since the number of fish farmers engaged in aquaculture often changes according to the season, such as harvesting or construction of aquaculture facilities, only fish farmers who are engaged full-time in aquaculture are counted in reporting statistics on the number of fish farmers. The fishing areas of the Southeast Asia region, established for fisheries statistical purposes, consist of inland and marine fishing areas, which is consistent with the definition and classification of fisheries caught. These are standardized in accordance with FAO's Core Fishing Areas, the boundaries of which are determined in consultation with international fisheries agencies taking into account various considerations, including: i) border of national regions and natural divisions of oceans and seas; ii) boundaries of adjacent fisheries statistical bodies already established in intergovernmental conventions and treaties; v) the longitude and latitude network system; vi) distribution of aquatic fauna; and. vii) distribution of resources and environmental conditions within an area.
Inland Fishing Areas
Marine Fishing Areas
Indian Ocean, Eastern)
At the Strait of Malacca, the areas bounded by a line from East Sumatra and across the strait at latitude 2˚30΄N to the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. In the maritime waters between Sumatra and Java, the areas bounded by a line beginning on the coast of Sumatra on the border between the district of Lampung Utara and the district of Lampung Selatan at latitude 5˚31΄S and 104˚33΄E. The border runs along a diamond line between Cape Tjuku Redak on the mainland of Sumatra and Cape Batu Kebucung on the island of Tebuan to the position 6°15'S and 105°04'E longitude; then along a diamond line between Cape Parat on the island of Panaitan and the south-eastern tip of the island of Rakarta to the west coast of Java on the border between the district of Lebak and the district of Serang at latitude 6°23' S, longitude 105°49' E.
In marine waters of Java and Bali-Nusa Tenggara, the areas bounded by a line starting from 8°00'S latitude beginning off the coast of South Java at Surabaya and running east to meet at 129°00'E longitude ; thence running due south to the North Coast of Australia. The area below the line is recognized as fishing area 57 while the other above the line is accepted as fishing area 71. Boundary line for area 57 and 71 at the sea waters of South Java and Bali-Nusa Tenggara.

CLASSIFICATION OF SMALL-SCALE AND COMMERCIAL FISHERIES Due to different legal definitions used by each country, the following table shows the classification of small-scale and commercial fisheries of countries in the region. Malaysia Traditional fisheries: small-scale fisheries using traditional fishing gear (i.e. other than trawls and purse seines) with vessels of less than 40 GRT operating in all zones concentrating in Zone A. Myanmar Coastal Fisheries: Vessels of less than 30 ft or less than use 12 HP engine operate in Zone 1.
Industrial fisheries: vessels of more than 9 meters or with engines of more than 12 hp operating in Zone 2. Philippines Municipal fisheries: small-scale fisheries with vessels of less than 3 GT operating in Zones 1 and 2. For statistics on production for capture fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region, broken down by species, will use the International Standard Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants (ISSCAAP), developed by CWP, as a basis for the development of the Regional Standard Statistical List of Aquatic Species , which focused on the available species and their distribution in the region.
As far as fisheries statistics are concerned, no country in the region collects the data in such individual groups. They are operated from a boat and are usually used on the bottom where they are pulled by two, usually very long, ropes placed in the water to ensure that as many fish as possible are driven or herded towards the opening of the net . Beach seine Beach seine is a simple fishing gear; one end of the wing is held by a group of fishermen on the shore, the net is first placed perpendicular to the shore, and the direction of the net setting gradually turns towards the shore.
A buoy and sinker line is then pulled from both ends of the wings to catch the fish. The two wings extend to increase the swing area and guide the fish on the path of the net down to the bag. In pair trawling, the mouth of the net is kept open by the outward towing of two boats, which always try to keep the same distance between them during operation.
Fish trying to get through the net wall are spilled or entangled in the net. A trap refers to a device that is placed or placed in the water for a certain period, regardless of the type of material used for their construction. Fixed trap Given its operation, this set of traps is placed in the water for a long period at least until the end of the fishing season.
All manual gear and complex equipment used for collecting shellfish and seaweed, regardless of the type of materials used in their construction. While manual gears are operated by an individual, some of the more complex devices such as dredging, clam dredging, etc.
