A Terubuk fishery has existed for hundreds of years in the Riau Province of Sumatra, Indonesia. The species is economically important for its eggs, which are exported to Singapore and Malaysia, and for its flesh which is consumed in this region of Sumatra. However, in the last 10 years catches have declined drastically. No detailed research has been carried out on the fishery or biology of the species. A management plan and conservation strategies are needed if the fishery is to survive. This small project aims to provide a Terubuk fisheries data collection system to examine the history of the fishery and monitor its progress. In addition, biological research, training in age determination and database management will help to develop a detailed management plan.
