Purse Seine Indonesia

Purse Seine is one of the most important parts of the Indonesian fishing industry, accounting for the largest catch share of any gear type. The sector spans the archipelago, providing employment opportunities, contributing to food security, and creating export value.
Indonesia’s Purse Seine sector is highly diverse, ranging from oceangoing vessels in the Indonesian EEZ to small boats operating close to shore; from vessels targeting large tuna to vessels mainly catching small pelagic species, and from highly specialized operations to fleets that opportunistically harvest a wide range of species.
Most Indonesian Purse Seine vessels are very small compared to industrial factory vessels of distant water fleets. Indonesian Purse Seine vessels rely on traditional, low-tech fishing methods and employ many fishers.
Compared to other fishing gears in Indonesia, the Purse Seine sector is underrepresented in the stakeholders’ common push for improved fisheries management. The Indonesian Purse Seine Association seeks to bridge that gap.
