This report provides an assessment of the various types of IUU fishing for three fisheries, namely lemuru fishery, shark fishery and lobster fishery, in relevant ports of the provinces of East Java, Central Java, West Java, Bali, Yogyakarta, and West Nusa Tenggera. ... It addresses a component of the ACIAR Project which aims to gain an improved understanding of IUU fishing and its impact on the sustainable management of the three fisheries in these areas."--Introduction.
