Blue Swimming Crab / rajungan is one of the important export commodities in Indonesia. Areas of crab dispersal in Indonesia, among others, on the east coast of Sumatra, the northern coast of Java and Sulawesi. Therefore data collection becomes a very important aspect. Especially data related to the BSC Stock Assessmebt in the field. In addition there is also bycatch or Non Target Sepcies (NTS) data collection. In collecting stock assessment data, some parameters will be recorded such as collecting biological data of crabs (size and weight of crab), gender observation, maturity level, collecting data of catch, and observation of crab morphology. Non-Target Species assessment research activities require the collection of reference data that is appropriate, relevant and in accordance with scientific principles. The purpose of NTS data collection is to examine the by-catch of BSC fishermen based on location and fishing gear. This will in turn support the sustainability program being developed by APRI.

APRI therefore conducts Enumerator training to support this data collection activity. The training of enumerators was held on 20 October 2017 in Bogor. There are 9 enumerators from 9 different regions throughout Indonesia trained to record the Stock Assessment and NTS. The 9th enumerator will be placed in 9 locations spread throughout Indonesia. The training also invited speakers from BRPL-KKP Mrs. Tri Ernawati and from APRI Boards such as Mr. Bambang Arif Nugraha (APRI Secretary) and Dr. Hawis Madduppa (APRI Executive Director). It is expected that with this enumerator training will support APRI programs in the future.
