Abstract

Page 1: In the Abstract section, the following text appears: “Arafura Sea is rich in its resources, e.g. shrimp, pelagic fish, demersal fish, and coral reef fish. Coral reef fish commonly found in Arafura waters are among others brown-marbled grouper, slender grouper, leopard coral grouper, humpback grouper, etc. One of the groupers that has a higher selling price than the other groupers is slender grouper (Anyperodon leucogrammicus). The high demand for the fish is in line with the increase in the catch and the exploitation status. Therefore, a study is necessary to analyze the exploitation status of the slender grouper in Arafura Sea. This study was carried out from March to November 2017 by sampling the grouper at its landing site in Dobo, Aru Islands, from the fishing grounds in Arafura Sea, Maluku. The size of the slender grouper was 15-120 cm TL, and its growth pattern was allometric negative. Its growth rate (K) was 0.34 per year and its fishing mortality (F) was higher than the natural mortality (M). The exploitation rate (E) of the fish was 0.52%, meaning the fish was already moderately exploited. Therefore, precautionary managements are necessary to maintain the sustainability of the slender grouper resources in Arafura Sea. This should read: "Maligi nature reserve is the turtle's conservation area on the west coast in Indonesia, has a high potential for biodiversity for ecotourism development in the Province of West Sumatra. The possibility of natural reserves has an excellent opportunity to sell in the Indonesia ecotourism exchange. This study examines the development of the Maligi nature reserve marine ecotourism. The research method is a survey with questionnaires and description, using primary data, which was collected through interview techniques for fifty selected respondents by purposive sampling. Analysis data tools are scoring method based on a standard assessment of natural attraction and nature conservation MMA 2006, SWOT Analysis and analytical hierarchy process. The results of the study show: (a) the potential of high-ranking Maligi nature reserve saw from the aspect of strength and opportunity (b) the strategy for the development of Maligi nature reserve is a defensive strategy".
