I n 2007, I ndonesia cont ribut ed t o 16.3% or 28 t housands t of t ot al global blue swim m ing crab landings, m aking it t he t hird biggest producer of blue swim m ing crab in t he world, following China ( 41% ) , and Philippines ( 20% ) . Thailand is following closely wit h t ot al 27.8 t housand t product ion ( FI SHSTAT- FAO) .1

Nort h Java has been t he m aj or cat ching areas for blue swim m ing crab in

I ndonesia, cont ribut ing t o about 28% of t ot al product ion in period 1990- 2006, followed by East Sum at ra ( 21% ) , Sout h Sulawesi ( 21% ) and Malacca St rait ( 14% ) [ MMAF- DG of Capt ure Fisheries, various years] .

The t rend in volum e landed by regions in I ndonesia show clearly t he upward t rend up t o t he m id 90s, and t hen fluct uat ed from t hat point . St art ing t he year 2000 t he fluct uat ion was m ore pronounced, and for som e regions t he t rend was clearly declining (e.g. Malacca St rait ) . The pat t erns of landings have shift ed over t he years. During t he early 1990s, landings from Nort h Java and Sout h Sulawesi dom inat ed, wit h also significant landings in t he Malacca St rait area. During t he m id 1990s up t o 2000, Malacca St rait and East Sum at ra landings gained in volum e, while Nort h Java landings were rem ain st able.

Blue swim m ing crab ( or locally known as ‘raj ungan’) has been one of t he im port ant fishery export com m odit ies in I ndonesia, despit e no specific

m anagem ent yet in place t o regulat e t his fishery. The export of blue swim m ing crab had j ust st art ed around 1994–1998 due t o increase dem and from overseas, especially from t he Unit ed St at es. Prior t o t his year, t his com m odit y was only consum ed locally and t he price was also very low.

I n t erm s of export value, crab cont ribut es t o about 8% of t ot al I ndonesian fishery product s export , valued at US$ 178 m illion in 2007, j um ped by 33% from

pervious year.2 Crab product s have been t he t hird biggest fishery product t hat cont ribut ed t o t ot al I ndonesian export value, following shrim p ( 46% ) and t una ( 14% ) . Tot al crab export am ount ed t o 21,510 t onnes in 2007. This crab export consist s of non frozen crab ( 82% ) , canned crab ( 11% ) and frozen crab ( 7% ) [ MMAF and JI CA 2009] .

1The official FAO dat a is slight ly differ ent from I ndonesian governm ent dat a. MMAF and JI CA ( 2009) shows t hat t ot al product ion of blue swim m ing crab in 2007 reached 30,421 t .

Unit ed St at es ( US) has been t he biggest m arket for I ndonesian crab export , cont ribut ing t o m ore t han 50% of t ot al crab export from I ndonesia, followed by Singapore ( 17% ) , Malaysia ( 10% ) , Taiwan ( 7% ) , European Union ( 6% ) , China ( 5% ) and Japan ( 2% ) [ MMAF 2005] .

Dat a from Globefish ( 2007) shows t hat in 2004, global prepared and preserved crabs export was about 57 t housands t , valued at US$ 473 m illion. China has been t he biggest crab supplier for t his t ype of crab product , cont ribut ing about 37% of t ot al prepared and preserved crab export in t he world, followed by I ndonesia wit h 18% or closed t o 10 t housands t , valued at US$ 41.9 m illion.

For 2008, t ot al US crab im port from I ndonesia was 9,372 t onnes, a decrease by

15% from previous year, which was 11,403 t onnes. However, in t erm of value, US crab im port from I ndonesia increase by 6% from US$ 169 m illion in 2007 t o US$ 179 m illion in 2008. Crabm eat swim m ing cont ribut ed t o 85% of t ot al US crab im port from I ndonesia. Ot her crab product s im port ed t o US m arket from I ndonesia were crab and crabm eat NSPF ( Not Specified) . More t han 85% of crab im port ed t o US from I ndonesia was in ATC ( Air Tight Cont ainer) or canned, while anot her 10% was frozen and ot her 5% was ot her preparat ions ( Depart m ent of Com m erce, Unit ed St at es of Am erica) .

I ndonesia is t he leading supplier for crabm eat swim m ing t o US m arket ,

cont ribut ing t o 31% of t ot al crabm eat swim m ing im port t o US in 2008, followed by China ( 24.7% ) , Thailand ( 13% ) , Viet nam ( 11% ) and Philippines ( 7.3% ) [ NMFS – Foreign Trade Dat a Base] .

More t han 90% of crabm eat swim m ing export ed t o US from I ndonesia is in ATC. I ndonesia’s export of crabm eat swim m ing t o US m arket decreased by 10% from 8,896 t onnes in 2007 t o 7,950 t onnes in 2008. However, in t erm s of value, I ndonesia’s crabm eat swim m ing export t o US m arket increase by 10% , from US$ 141 m illion in 2007 t o US$ 156,637 in 2008.

U.S. cust om report list ed 28 I ndonesian crab export ers t o U.S. m arket in 2008. The biggest crab export ers from I ndonesia are Phillips Seafoods I ndonesia, Tonga Tiur Put ra, Windika Ut am a, Kelola Mina Laut , Mina Global Mandiri, Bum i Menara I nt ernusa, Toba Surim i, Nuansa Cit pt a Magello, Dahlia Mit ra Global and Rex Canning. All t oget her cont ribut e t o m ore t han 80% of t ot al crab export from I ndonesia t o US. I n general, t he export ers are also playing roles as processors. I n 2007, an associat ion of I ndonesian Blue Swim m ing Crab ( BSC) Processors ( APRI ) was form ed, wit h t he goal of sust ainable procurem ent from healt hy st ocks. The m em bers represent over 80% of all crab export ed from I ndonesia.

• Associat ion ( APRI ) has undert aken a Marine St ewardship Council ( MSC) pre-assessm ent using MRAG as t he assessor in April 2009. Based on t he pre-assessm ent , t he I ndonesia Blue Swim m ing Crab is not recom m ended t o m ove t o MSC Full Assessm ent by now due t o: insufficient inform at ion of st ock st at us, no sufficient inform at ion regard t o im pact s of t his fishery t o ot her species or ecosyst em and lack of m anagem ent .

A com prehensive populat ion st ock assessm ent is not available for Blue Swim m ing Crab ( BSC) at all geographic scale level ( nat ional or sub- nat ional level) . Most of biological research have focused on t he individual life- cycle of t he species, as well as aspect s of environm ent al condit ion and breeding, all geared t oward t he

im proving t he pot ent ial for BSC cult ure.

However, t here are som e indicat ions t hat overfishing of blue swim m ing crab is occurring in som e regions. I n m any landing areas, even sm all crabs ( 150 crabs

per kg) are being caught and harvest ed. Anecdot al evidence indicat e t hat during t he lat e 1990s fisherm en in t he nort hern coast of West Java can capt ure 100- 200 kg each day, whereas in 2006 t hey obt ain m uch less, only 5 t o 10 crabs even t hough t hey have placed an equivalent of 5 km of net t ing ( Ant ara, 2006) . Sim ilar condit ion is faced by fisherm en in Takalar, Sout h Sulawesi. I n 2000 t hey were able t o obt ain larger sizes ( 4- 5 crabs per kg) , in 2004 t he com m on pract ice is 7-10 crabs per kg ( Kom pas, 7-10 May 2006) .

Declining com posit ion can also be seen at t he export er or wholesale buyer level. The special and, m ost not ably, lum p m eat s have increased in proport ion of t ot al m eat s being processed. This is a rough indicat ion t hat m eat s are com ing from sm aller sized crabs, which, in t urn, show t hat harvest s consist of roughly sm aller sized crabs t han in previous years.

I n I ndonesia, t he crab is m ost ly caught by t he collapsible t raps and bot t om gillnet s. I n t erm s of rat io of bycat ch, t he com posit ion is sim ilar bet ween using gillnet s or t raps. I n bot h gears, blue swim m ing crabs cont ribut e 30% of t ot al cat ch, while bycat ch m ake up t he rem aining 70% . I n t erm s of num ber of bycat ch species caught , bot t om gillnet s cat ch m ore species t han t rap. I n t rap, alm ost all t he bycat ch species t hat are not used by t he fishers are t hrown back t o t he sea, t herefore t hese species have relat ively high survival rat es. I n bot t om gillnet s, t he fishers discard t heir bycat ch on shore upon landing, at t his point , discards have a low chance of surviving.

However, alt hough relat ively sm all in size, t he use of draggers such as baby t rawlers or shallow bot t om m ini t rawls in blue swim m ing crab fishery has also been increasing and becom ing serious concerns, especially in Nort h Java. The m ain negat ive environm ent al im pact from t he use of t rawls is t he large am ount of bycat ch it generat es; an addit ional negat ive im pact is t he dredging of t he ocean floor.

The t rend in volum e landed by region (Figure 10) show clearly t he upward t rend up t o t he m id 90s, and fluct uat es from t he one. St art ing t he year 2000 t he fluct uat ion was m ore pronounced, and for t he regions t he t rend is clearly declining (e.g. Malacca St rait ) . The pat t erns of landings have shift ed over t he years. During t he early 1990s, landings from Nort h Java and Sout h Sulawesi dom inat e, wit h also significant landings in t he Malacca St rait area. During t he m id 1990s up t o 2000, Malacca St rait and East Sum at ra landings gained in volum e, while Nort h Java landings are rem ain st able. Since 2000, East Sum at ra cont ribut es t he largest volum e of landings, while Malacca St rait landings declined in relat ive proport ion. West Sum at ra, Maluku- Papua,

Sout h/ West and East Kalim ant an are st art ing t o cont ribut e larger proport ions. The Maluku and Papua region are part icularly rem ot e, t herefore any harvest ing and processing of BSC will be m ore cost ly and difficult com pared t o ot her part s of

I ndonesia. Expansion of harvest ing in t hat region, however, is expect ed in t he fut ure as BSC st ocks elsewhere in I ndonesia st art s t o decline.

I t is im possible t o indicat e t he size of t he fleet and t ot al effort being expended each year, however anecdot al observat ions indicat e t hat new fisherm en cont inue t o ent er t he Blue Swim m ing Crab fisheries, including in t he nort hern coast of Cirebon in West Java ( Ant ara, 2006) . The closest fishing ground for t hese fisherm en is Java Sea fishing ground off t he coast of West Java, current ly already fully ut ilized. I t is expect ed t hat at t he nat ional level t he num ber of households dependant on fishing will cont inue t o increase. Bet ween 2002 and 2004, t he num bers of such households have increased by 25% ( CBS, 2006) .

Declining size com posit ion can be observed in m any landing areas. Even sm all crabs ( 150 crabs per kg) are being caught and harvest ed. Anecdot al evidence indicat e t hat

I n 2000 t hey were able t o obt ain larger sizes ( 4- 5 crabs per kg) , in 2004 t he com m on pract ice is 7- 10 crabs per kg ( Kom pas, 10 May 2006) .

Declining com posit ion can also be seen at t he export er or wholesale buyer level (Figure 11) . The special and, m ost not ably, lum p m eat s have increased in proport ion of t ot al m eat s being processed.
