A detailed report for the region of East Sumatra and Riou can be made up. Before the establishment of Ressort VII on East Sumatra there was no any Service:of Seafiheries as it were as yet. Problems concerning Seafisheries have been solved incidentally by the Service of Expanding Industries_ at Medan. The greater part of all arrangements done at that time consisted only of the distribution of fishing materials like thread, fishing hooks etc. on prices fixed by the Government. On the 14th of October 1950 assignment was done between Mr. B.A. Verduyn ant, Head of the Service Of Expanding Industries and Mr. emirrudin Nasution, offi- cial of Service of Seafisheries, and on 15 November 1950 the 6ervice of Seafisheries Ressort VII has been only established on account of many difficulties in getting office-rooms. At that time in the regency of Bengkalis an office for Fisheries existed and all activities of that office were arranged by the Regent of Bengkalitt. In the Riou islands and in the region of Djambi there ape-e still no any office for Seafisheries. Approved For Release 1999/09/10 : CIA-RDP83-00423R001100700002-0 2. ApplrbVial!

Expression of thanks is placed here for them. klankIttisa_(ATIEllna).: On account of the difficulties to get aceomodation (houses) for the officials (inclusive their families) sent for from Djakarta they have been obliged to stay in hotels/bungalows which is very expensive. The officials in question are : 1. Anirrudin Nasution at Madan. 2, R. Soidarjono at Tandjung Pinang. 5. OUrbAnuddin Sirsgar at Tandjuhg Halal. 4. Braman A.M. at Pangkalan Derandan. 6.

AmOng than there are officials living for more than 1* year in batele and till now lacking in own houses. there re many difficulties, among these 'For IeT??t 1.6'0/0 024) A0113kNetaNiNgtatetil9gMfe:t6AAVIS6SLA41314#0141Y07C1C40124 set on Work, but still they do not receive their appointment, and flIrther the payment in advance,and hotel expenses paid for officials which Ner0 Sent from DjakartHwithout a certificate to cease their salary.(C.C.B.J Urthermore, payments in advance are the expenses for tours of inapec4 tIon which are not yet repaid by the Service of Government Travels. Advance payments for the necessaries of the officials are done to an average amount of hp. 10,000.- per month (ten thousands rupiah'. A great part. of these difficulties has been surmounted with full assistance rendered by the Administrator of the "Poundation of Seafisheries" in Djakarta ( Mr.'Soeparso Malangjudo), arranged through the Head-office of the Service of Seafisheries in Djakarta which knows quite well the difficulties when there is no money in stook. A far greater difficulty forms the finance inthe regency of Tandjung Pinang which is a "dollar" region. In this sub-ress rt only Singapore-dollar is used, thus causing great difficulties con- earning the payments of salaries to officials which have not yet received a C.O.B. and, still without an appointment. However, this problem has also been solved through the assis- tance from the Head office of the Service of Seafisheries. In order to prevent for repeating the occurrences mentioned above it is strongly imggested that whenever moving officials from the Head pffice, these officials have to remeive first their appoint- ment and certificate .

Tjitji. 1 rishinp, A short description of the most important fishing utensils will follow hereunder: 1. BANTING ATJklin. The dorm and the way of using it,is almost like the "majang" of Java. The difference is only the Banting AtOeh having 2 sacs while the majang has only one. The saes and a part of the wing are made of cotton thread which is twisted. On the upside and the lower side of the wing are found 2 fibrous threads as the edge (of the wing); on the upper side on a distan- ce of 15 cm. pieces of wood (stem) are fastened. These piecos are 6 X 8 X 20 cm. And on the lower side at a distance of every "depa" pieces of black lead are enlaced to make the net sinking. A part of the wing is made of thread, another part is made of plant fibre The length of this part made of plant fibre is measured according to the number of wooden pieces ("polampung") which are fastened on the upper side of that part at a distance of every 10 meter. The botal number of the wooden pieces ("pelampung") is max. 30. On the lower side of the part made of plant fibre a Atm nuibrr of stones are gastened, the stones being as big as a fist, oat 'Nipped up 17 rattan. 1/koe-etametaer-ef?bitess.okeabee Approved For Release 1999/09/10 : CIA-RDP83-00423R001100700002-0 ,911Fe AahNatAttlitThetaVill1/23?9fthrtalStr-RTCP8SSantlittitidetY002-trl Is I : 2. A lax* lengthening-pieoe of the fibre is suis MiliA of rotten;' 'Then, a "undjam" is used which looks like a "rumpon" on ;Java. Consisting of : . Three pieces of bamboo with equal length and bound together like a "pelampung" , a mark is given to it by the owner. . Twisted fibres consisting of three threads of a length of about 30 "depas" at a distance of every depa a nerve of a pinagtg leaf is gitatmamdx fastened. c. a wooden anchor which is made heavier by baked stones. The way of using : The fishing with thes"pukat" is only done in the morn ng and because the fishing place where fishing will be done by means of "undjam" as-well as "pasang" (= placing) is not far away from the base, the fishers come out from the,river- mouth at dawn and go back to their base at noon. The way of fishing is much like the way of 'majang" on Java. When coming nearly at the "undjam", the "mugeh" vessel which usually goes together is continually approaching the "undjam" and when there are fishes swimming Imakm near the "undjam" then ansaix several nerves of the pinang leaf are slacked off into the seawater. These leaves are found after a short tine floating together with the old ones, being driven away several hundreds meters from the "undjam". The "pukat" then is let down into the water on the left side of the vessel, beginning with the right side of the fibrous part by means of a large bamboo float. The vessel is now to be pulled round the leaves which are dragged to the left aide. Much care has to be taken that the vessel runs around the leaves till it arrives at the starting point, while during this time the whole "pukat" Approved For Release 1999/09/10 : CIA-RDP83-00423R001100700002-0 12.

It is desirable that drawing up the "pukat" into the vessel regular little jerks are given to the pukat so that in that way the meshes of the fibrous net go ppened and closed by turns. This means that the fishes will be prevented from escaping through this part of the pukat. During all this time the janang leaves are also put into the "mugeh" boat one by one , so that at the time that the "pukat" is drawn up into the vessel, all the pinang leaves are also put into. The whole "pukat" is nmw drawn up into the vessel and the fishes which are caught are in the "kuntjung". (sac). The opening of this sae at the back which was closed before by means of a fibrous thread, is now opened to move the fish to the nmugehli boat, then the "pukat" is again, prepared to be used for the tott,Asibch. One catch will take about half an hour time. When there is an amount of fish caught, sufficient to be sold, bhe "mugeh" boat returns to the coast with the fish or to the nearest fish-east. One of the men on the vessel has to take care of the pinang leaves for the catches to be done , therefor the man uses 3 pieces of bamboo of 3 joints for the floating "lampung". In this way of fishing all pinang' leaves go into the net (pukat). The kinds of fish which are caught are often : "Selarptalangtapi, beledang (during its season), rambal,tjentjaru, ? etc. When fishing is done in Was full sea,"tongkol" fish even can be caught. When the het is kept well, it can be used during 3 years, For repair i of the net 2 kg. thread is necessary per year. The cost of making a, "Denting Atjeh" net and the vessel is about Dp. 12,000.-. The production is about 50 to 100 kg. fish s day.

The whole "pukat" is 180 meter long an,! meter broad. The "langgar" pukat consists of 2 parts which are: 1. "pendjarang" (untranslated) (see rig.) The "pendjarang" is 2/3 of the whole leggth or the pukat ( 120 meter) long, the total amount of meshes from the upper to the lower side straight down is be;) and I mesh is 6 cm. broad.

The distance between 2 "pelampungs" on the "pendjarang" is 20 es., the periphery of the "pelampung" is 30 cm. while the diameter is 8 cm.

The distance between tks 2 "pelampungs" on the "sentung" is the same as on the "pendjarang". The "pelampung" for the "sentung" has a periphery of 50 cm. and the diameter is 10 cm. The lower edge of the pukat consists also of 2 ropes with a periphery of 6 cm. One of these ropes is stinged into the opening of a piece of lead, the other one is fastened to the meshes of the "medang" net.

VIII. The fishing people. Nearly all fishers are illiterate and thus they are easiiy be deluded. They are deceived in several ways, e.r. by weong weihing of the fish, and in the trade of the production. One way in deceiv- ing the fishsrs, done by foreign "taukes", is tempting the fishers by supplying them with the daily necessariee of life, which are not paid cash, but on credit. When later on there is a deduction their debts are calculated twice the true value. Furthermore the fishers are obliged to sell their fish to these "taukes" to prices which are before fixed and whioh are naturally far below the market prices (often to the half of the market prices). In this way the "taukes" get thetr profits 2 times, because in the firat place they sell Amodo on cash or credit and in the second place they buy partly or the whole fish reduction from the fishers. While on wrong weighing ,?? A proved ForRelease 1999/09/10: CIA-RDP83-00423R001100700002-0 by the "taukes".

IX. In reneral it can be said that the fishers neari:i lost tneir trust in cooperation because they have already bad exeritnees with it during the latest times. They felt to be deceived by title coopi ration, in which case truly it was not the fault of tl- c but the leaders of it caused all unfaithnes2. Many or, ni atione/ cooperations were set up, and many of them disappeared be- cause there was no ability to maintain the oranization or becausa the leaders used these organizations for their own sae. Thin happened very easily because at that time there wet- no (iverv-s! departments to have the supervision on it. At Medan there was established aworganiz tion whi "Serikat Nelajan Merdeka" (. Fishers cooperUon "!:err!oka") which at present only the name remained and this or %nizAtion now follows a filed political course. It happened once that the above mentioned organization support ed the appointment of a person ai Bupati (Regent) in mast Sumatra and whaAwas installed by the Governor of North Sumatra. The general opinion of the fishers is not of such a kind that they are not entirely unlikely to form organizations between them. Now they look for the exact proves, they are already fed up with "b illiantn promiaes which in reality were empty.

The plan for credit from the Government is already surnittci to the General Secretary of the Ministery of Agriculture, who discussed the subject with the Panitija Penambah Ha il Burni Committee of Increasing of Production) which i8 headed by the General Secretary of the Minietere of A6ricu1ture. 2. The conclusiontthat the, Committee of Increasing of Pro lction agreed on the plan and submitted a requset to the Bank lndustri Negara (Government Industrial Bank) to render a credit to the G.X.P.I. 3. After having discussed the matter with the Gove laue- rnmen-,3 trial Bank and the G. Ind. Bank having examined the pocitioe of the G.K.P.I, during the meeting held between (Liovernment Ind. BankMMr. Achmad, Hendrarto), the Service of L;oafi eries (R. Pranjoto) and G.K.P.I. (Eddiwan) on the 29/IV - 195'2 R detision has been made a.

These confusions happened by the fact that the people look at other Services as the Service of Industry, the Service of People organizatioe etc. and comparing these with the Service of Seafisheries of ressort VII. Those formerly mentioned services are able to render credits to a maximum amount of Rp. 50)000.- while credits of above that amount will be arranged by the Head Offices of the mentioned services in Djakarta. All these credits have been rendered by the Foundatioe of Credit. Among the above mentioned requests there were several ones which indeed were to be agreed to and these ones were already submitted to the Bank. Rakjat Indonesia (Indonesian People's Bank), however in this matter the Bank Rakjat Indonesia acted with "too much succinctnese", which had not to be blamed, however, because the Bank Rakjat Indone- sia meet follow the Bank's presoribed regulations. The Bank Rakjat is much too tied to the Bank-technics, in other words it offers credit only tc organizations or business which are established and are r4neelmeie well. In this way the Bank Rakjat is not able to render credit to fishing organisations which are to be es- tablished or those which just have been established, while in fact they (the fishers) are in great need of money to realise the purpose of their organisations. It is eeeeady known that the fishers in their deeesis (village.) anywhere on Smaatra as well as on Java have none 4000401401 (20407) capital, just only labourness.

Registration of the fishing companies in order to be inform- ed at any time with the member of fishers and also any modi- fication of the number. By means of this registration the concerning department is able to prevent any smuggling activity by foreign hands be- tween the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra who act as being a fisher. b4 Putting forward regulation based upon the expanding of National fishing companies and thus reducing the activity .4, of foreign fishing companies by meaas of getting a licence first when setting up a fishing company.

The net-thread is not much preferred by the fishers because the foreign twisting differs from that which is preferred by them. It is great pity that the cotton thread "20/S Egypt" which up to now has been sent directly from the Foundation of 3eafish- cries. (price- Rp.- 13.30 per kg.) has been carried over to the ;.h.

Salt was veto- few in the beginning of 1951 and all licences for salt to fishing companies have been suspended. However, after several months the salt-stock has increased so that all necessaries have been supplied with. XIII.

All intestines and the fish blood is thrown away. immediately the eggs are laid into a basket, so that all watery substances drip out of the eggs. This work is done very carefully, In order not to damage the eggs. To drip out the watery substances ige beats about 1 to 2 hours. After that the salting of the eggs bee-ins one by one. The salt has to be as fine as possible so that it easily can penetrate into the eggs. The relation between egg and salt is 8 i 1. The salted eggs are arranged properly in a milk-case, (wooden) of 50 x 30 x 30 cm3 and the eggs remain there for two days (2 x 24 hours) long. After these 2 days the eggs are taken out one by one and moved into an other milk case upside down. The eggs again remain there for 2 days. After this, the eggs are taken out of the ease and washed with seawater or fresh water in order to clean The officials of the B.N.I. at Medan have been on tour of in- spection to the salt ins company "DISAI (Bagan isahan) them from the slime coming from the salt.

When the eggs are dried sufficiently, then the egg oil drips out and the eggs are light yellow coloured.

The fish is put into wooden barrels which are , 7 The fisher'e boats . moor in front of the salting plea (Began Asahan) made for this purpose. The contents of one fishbasket is put into the barrel (about 45 kg). Then an amount of fine salt of about 16 kg is dredged down to the fish and edrred gently. fter this,fish of one basket is.. put again in the barrel and *gain 16 kg salt is dredged down. In this way one goes or till the barrel is filled up. In I barrel. 4 total weight of 8 fish baskets can be moved, this is *bout 360 kg. Than the barrel is kept closed well during 24 hours. After this the barrel is dried during 1 day (when there is sunshine). The relation between the amount salt used and the amount of fish is 1 i 3 for big fishes (as "gembun "selangat", etc.. For small fishes (as "ten", etc.) the relation is 1 : 4. This fih(treated in the above mentioned way) is too much salty. This is a way of the makers of salted Fish to makt,, heavier the weight of the fish so that they get 2,,ore profits of it. One basket of fresh "selangat" fish (about 45 kg) becomes, when salted and dried, about 30 kg "selangat" salted fish. XIV: Experiments. Several experiments have already been done: 1.
