Summary
An accordion-shaped shrimp trap, called Bubu Naga, is increasingly being used by fishers targeting white shrimp (Penaeus meguiensis) in Tambak Lorok, Indonesia. Data from six fishing trips in November 2024 was analyzed using criteria from the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF). 42% of catch were target species, while 58% was considered bycatch, meaning that it does not meet CCRF targets for environmental selectivity. In addition, only 24% of catch met size targets. However, the trap scores high on other criteria, including low potential to damage habitat or endanger fishers or consumers. Additional work to refine the selectivity of the trap could be undertaken to further improve its environmental performance.
