Sustainable fishing of Kei Kecil fishermen

As the daylight is fading, fishermen in the Kei Kecil district in Southeast Maluku regency start to come to the fish cage to sell the fish they have caught.

Arsa Jarot, a fisherman from Ohoi Tetoat fishermen’s village in Kei Kecil, said after being out on the sea for almost 12 hours, he had managed to catch two red coral trout fish.  

“I caught two tongsing [local name for coral trout] today; each weighing almost 1 kilogram,” he said after handing over the fish to the cage’s head to be measured. 

Jarot sells the fish to the Pulau Mas fish cage for Rp 230,000 (US$23.63) per kilogram.
