Preliminary Study of Eels (Anguilla) in Sumbawa Island According to the Knowledge of Local Communities: Distributions, Pattern of Fishing, and Utilizations by Neri Kautsari, Husain Latuconsina, Ilham Zulfahmi

“…Highlight Research • The biodiversity, distribution and capture of eels on Sumbawa Island are traced through local community knowledge • There are four types of eels in Sumbawa, namely marmorata, A. celebensis, A. interioris, A. bicolor • Eels are found in rivers, dams, estuaries and rice fields • Eel is not the main catch • Eel fishing by the community is carried out because the hobby of fishing is not for livelihood • In general, people do not know about eel conservation in Indonesia   Abstract Eels are an important fishery resource in Indonesia, but information regarding distribution, fishing patterns and utilization has not been well documented in order for it to assist in the management of eel fisheries. …”
