Spesfkas kapal dan alat yang dgunakan dalam surve d Selat Malaka, 1973 1975.] Menasveta (197) revewed the bottom trawl surveys conducted n the Malacca Strat, notablythe results of trawlng by the RV Tongko (Brtwstle 1928), the RN Manhne (Ommanney 1961), and the Seayang (Pathansal et al. 1966). Later surveys were conducted wth K.M. Jenahak (Latff 1973). Most of these surveys were conducted n what are now Malaysan terrtoral waters: less nformaton s avalable on the ndonesan sde ofthe Malacca Strat. A frst report on catcheffort and catch composton data obtaned by two ndonesan fsheres research vessels, RNMutara 1and RNMutara 2, on the ndonesan stocks of the Malacca Strat, was publshed n ndonesan by Martosubroto (1973). The staton grd of RV Mutara 1 and 2 was not truly random,.e., fshng was drected. Nevertheless, ther catch rates are ncorporated n the present paper, tself an updated verson of Sujastan et al. (1976). 16 Anon. (1976e) reported on the composton of 12 trawl hauls taken on the ndonesan sde of the Malacca Strat n January 1975 by RN Lemuru (see Venema, ths vol., for detals on RN Lemuru). Further data for the present contrbuton orgnate from the survey conducted by RV Mutara 4 n the Malacca Strat, n early 1975 (see Pauly et a., ths vol. for the context of ths Mesh sze of codend (mm) survey and the samplng methods used, and Torres et al. (ths vol.) for a 3 descrpton of a database wth detals on 3 4 these and RN LemurUs statons).

Fg. 1 shows the area covered here. Materals and Methods Box. 1. Sedments and benthos of the Malacca Strat. [Boks 1. Sedmen dan benthos d Selat Malaka.} Emery (1971), based on Keller and Rchards (1967) and other sources, descrbes the sedments of the Malacca Strat as consstng manly of "sand (detrtal or calcareous grans.5 to 2 mm n dameter and havng a hard smooth to rppled surface), sand-and-mud (fne sand and slt havng a frm to soft smooth surface), mud (slt and clay havng a soft surface), gravel (pebbles and cobbles of broken rock, locally contanng many calcareous shells), rock (outcrops of bedrock and boulders near outcrops), and coral (large areas or reefs of massve calcareous algae and coral)". The benthos of the Malacca Strat appears to be sparse, at least offshore, far from the mouth of rvers. Neman (1973) reports of three benthos statons (see Fg. 2 for ther locatons) from west to east whch yelded denstes of 4.4 g-2 (shallow water) 1. g-2 n (deep water) and 2.4 g-2 (shallow water). He also mentons that far from the mouths of rvers, otter trawls often catch sponges and soft corals. and sea urchns. Trawl Survey Data The specfcatons of RN Mutara 1, 2, and 4 and the gears used for ther surveys are summarzed n Table 1. The survey by Mutara 1and 2 n the Malacca Strat lasted from July to September 1973. A total of 148 hauls were made, 61 by Mutara 1 and 87 by Mutara 2. The survey of Mutara 4 lasted from 27 January to 14 March 1975 and yelded 4 vald hauls (Fg. 2, Table 2). The surface area of each depth horzon s also gven n Table 2. These data were used to estmate standng stock sze usng the swept area method as descrbed n Pauly et al. (ths vol.) and usng the same assumptons as to the catchablty of the gear. Partcularly, the same escapement factor was assumed to apply to Mutara 1, 2 and 4. 41

Commercal Catch Data The fsheres catch data orgnate from the Provncal Fsheres Offces of the Provnces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and Rau and go back as far as reports were avalable (to 1969). The second author also conducted feld ntervews n the three abovementoned provnces from November to December 1975. n Aceh Provnce, four large landng places were vsted wth about three ntervews of trawler skppers at each landng ste. n North Sumatra Provnce, landng stes were vsted wth the same rate of ntervews. n Rau Provnce, only three landng places were vsted wth four ntervews each. Catch per unt of effort data and effort data (actual fshng days) for large and medum trawlers n the three provnces were derved from these ntervews. The provncal reports dd not assgn the lanued fsh and shellfsh to the gear that caught them. t was thus necessary to dentfy, from the catch data, those groups of fsh and shellfsh whch could be assumed to orgnate from trawl catches. Ths was done on the bass of Table 3 by assumng that fsh contrbutng more than 2% to the survey catches of Mutara 1, 2 or 4 were manly demersal. Those fshes were then selected from the reports' lsts and ther catches combned to represent the trawler's catches. When presentng the data, care was taken to avod double accountng, as occurred between the Provnce of North Sumatra, where many trawlers from Rau landed ther catch, and the latter provnce.as no fgure was avalable on the amount of ths double accountng, a fgure of 5% was assumed; accordngly, the catches reported from Rau Provnce were cut by half. Annual catch was plotted aganst the correspondng levels of effort for the Malacca Strat as a whole and foraceh Provnce and North Sumatra-Rau Provnces. 42

The small motorzed boats n Rau Provnce were manly gllnetters, and were thus not ncluded; nether were some unregstered motorzed boats n North Sumatra operatng as purse seners. On the bass of the feld data, t appears that the large trawlers had an average gross tonnage of 3 t, the medum trawlers of 2 t, and the small trawlers of 1 t (Box 2). The medum-szed trawlers were selected as standard, and the other type> converted to ths by means of ther catch per unt effort (Box~2). Nomral,fshng days for each type of trawler n each provnce were J~en multpled by the approprate power factor, whch led to a measure of effectve effort ("corrected fshng days"). Combned wth the abovementoned catch data, these estmates of effort allowed the parametrzaton, va plots of catcheffort vs effort, of surplus producton models, subject to the caveats n Martosubroto (ths vol). Results and Dscusson The area covered the surveys of Mutara 1 and 2, and the trawl haul statons of Mutara 4 and Lemuru are shown n Fg. 2. The composton of the catch of Mutara 1 and 2 s gven n Table 3 together wth that of Mutara 4. To facltate comparson, all fgures were converted nto percentages of total catch. For the same reason, those groups of fshes recorded on only one or two of the boats have been added to "other fshes". 43

Less valuable groups such as the Leognathdae, Sgandae, Scaendae, Platycephaldae, and "other fshes" decreased wth ncreasng depth. Table 4 summarzes the estmates of standng stock, by depth range.

Here, however, the value forthe depth range 1-19 m, where the Mutara 4 had not been fshng, was assumed to correspond to the relatvely hgh average value of the same depth range from other, mostly unexploted areas covered by Mutara 4 (see Pauly et al, ths vol). n the specfccase of the Malacca Strat, ths assumpton was probably too optmstc, as heavy trawlng was already takng place n the shallow waters. Thus, to correct ths fgure, the stock denstes obtaned from the catch rates ofmutara 1 and 2 were also calculated (Table 4). These estmates were then used for the depth ranges mssng n the Mutara 4 survey, whle overlappng data of the three boats were averaged. The results are also presented n Table 4, from whch an average weghted mean stock densty of 1.33 t km- 2 was derved (ncludng the depth range -9 m). The corrected stock estmate, thus, amounts to 73, t, over a surface area of 55, km 2. The value at 1.33 t km- 2 and the correspondng standng stock are very low when compared wth the data from other areas of the Sunda Shelf (see Pauly et al, ths vol), where the average stock densty was 2.66 t km- 2, exactly double the Malacca Strat fgure.

Sujastan et al. (1976), based on these fndngs, presented a set of practcal recommendatons for managng the fsheres. [These recommendatons, not recalled here, became rrelevant when trawlng was banned n Western ndonesa (Sardjono 198, and see Martosubroto, ths vol.); a move whch also placed constrants on feld samplng wth trawls by MFR scentsts, due to strong objectons by small-scale fshers].
