Progress Report on Blue Swimming Crabs Fisheries Assessment
Blue swimming crabs (Portunus pelagicus) play a vital role in the fisheries of North Coast of Java. This report outlines the assessment conducted by the Research Center for Fisheries Management and Conservation in collaboration with the Indonesia Blue Swimming Crab Processors Association. The study focuses on mapping the fisheries, collecting bio-exploitation data, measuring seasonal abundance, and assessing the status of blue swimming crabs in the Java Sea.

PROGRESS REPORT 1st SEMESTER (JANUARY JULY 2014) THE ASSESSMENT ON BLUE SWIMMING CRABS (Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus, 1758)) FISHERIES IN NORTH COAST OF JAVA Research Center for Fisheries Management and Conservation (RCFMC) Jl. Pasir Putih 1, Ancol Timur, Jakarta-14430 for Indonesia Blue Swimming Crab Processors Association (APRI) Jl. KIG Raya Selatan Kav C-5, Gresik, East Java, Indonesia
BACKGROUND Crab fishery has contributed as one of the source livelihood of small-scale fishers in the North of Java since the 1970s and still exist seasonally until to date. An intensive fishing increased since the 1990s, this along with increasing international market demand (FAO, 2013). Blue swimming Crabs (Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus, 1758) An economic important marine species, it ranked under tuna and shrimps. Sumiono (1997) and Sumiono et al. (2011) informed that Blue swimming Crabs in Indonesia distributed along the coastal area of east Sumatera, north of Java, South of Sulawesi, South and East Kalimantan. Among them, Jakarta and Cirebon Bays, Brebes, Rembang and Madura strait were the main fishing areas in the north coast of Java The estimate export volume in 2012 is around 28,000 tons, which is commercially valued at around 330 million USD (Fauzi, 2013).
The annual production in 2008 estimated at around 34,000 tons (FAO 2011) and it contributed 20% of world production after China. Worldwide policy on sustaining fish for food (including blue swimming crabs) should consider safety, security and sustainability issues of its resources. Wall Mart, Costco Wholesale, Sam s Club Whole Foods Market and others (Crawford, 2013) adopted those mainstreams of world market system. By 2020, it is expected that world buyers on fish product will only accept products that have been eco-labeling certified issued by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). Since 2014, RCFMC and APRI carried out a Blue swimming crab fisheries assessment in the north coast of Java. Observation was carried out through enumerator and onboard data collection system.
