ABSTRACT
Fishery statistics of Indonesia available until 1972 were of rather limited use because of certain deficiencies inherent in the existing statistical survey system. A revised survey system was introduced to overcome these difficulties.
The revised survey system covers not only catch and fishing effort statistics but also fishery inventory statistics and fish processing statistics. For the design of the sample survey a sampling frame was obtained through the complete enumeration of the 1973 Agriculture Census which was undertaken by the Central Bureau of Statistics. However, because the produced sampling frame was limited to Sumatra, Java and Bali, the Directorate General of Fisheries conducted a supplementary frame survey. The standard survey methods used were sample surveys with both objective and subjective measurements for data collection.
The standard statistical system has been introduced since April 1976 for the marine fishery and from January 1977 for the inland open water fishery and fresh water culture.
The development and implementation of the standard statistical system are described and explained in this report. Examples of the forms used are included.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to the following organizations and individuals who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities.

The development and implementation of a standard statistical system for current fishery statistics in Indonesia is a result of the work of many government officials, although its planning was fully guided by the author of this report.

The establishment of national species classifications and fishing gear classifications, the mainstay of the national fishery statistical standards, was assisted by Mr. M. Unar, Mr. A. Dwiponggo and Mr. Yacobus Uktolseya of the National Marine Fisheries Institute. Mr. Rustami Djajadiredja of the National Inland Fisheries Institute assisted in the establishment of national species classifications of the inland fishery. Mr. Koesno Rahardjo, Chief of the Statistics Division of the Directorate General of Fisheries, was in charge of the standardization of national fishery statistical terms. Mr. Robert M.H. Nasution, Statistics Division, was in charge of the identification of marine and inland districts, the rearrangement of the order of the list and the establishing code numbers. Mr. Hendrik Sihombing, Statistics Division, was responsible for compiling and printing the national fishery statistical standards manual, particularly preparing species descriptions. Mr. Soedarmo R., Evaluation Division, was in charge of drawing many illustrations for species and fishing gears.

Drawing the many survey, estimation and reporting forms was the responsibility of Mr. Lasma Tambunan, who was also in charge of drafting manuals on field enumeration and estimation procedure at district level. Mr. Sarmili fully drew the exact layout of all statistical tables to be compiled from the new survey. While every staff member of the Statistics Division was involved in work on the new survey, Mr. Oentarjo continued his responsibility for compiling and issuing the Yearbook of Fishery Statistics, Indonesia, based on the old surveys.

Mr. Koesno Rahardjo took full care of editing all materials for the above work and was fully responsible for the preparation of the instructions, which were the backbone of the new survey.
