Tridge summary

Indonesia is utilizing a significant portion of its maritime resources for crustacean-based fishery exports, with these crustaceans making up approximately 45% of the total export value and employing around two million people. The country has a high sustainable potential for crustacean production, particularly for shrimp, with challenges including overfishing, underfishing, and illegal fishing. The government suggests a management system that includes controls on input, output, technology, and ecosystem-based management. Experts recommend an approach that integrates ecology, social systems, and environmental and social research to improve crustacean production sustainably, highlighting the potential of panaeid fisheries and the importance of considering freshwater crustacean biodiversity.
