This document presents the report of fish loss assessment case studies conducted within the framework of FAO's Save Food programme and coordinated by FAO's Fish Products, Trade and Marketing Branch (FIAM). Following the national capacity development workshop (National Workshop on Post-Harvest Fish Losses in indonesia ) on post-harvest fisheries loss assessment , held in Jakarta, indonesia on 29 30 September 2014, in the aegis of the Technology Expo on Marine and fisheries Product Processing and Biotechnology 2014 , four loss assessment studies were conducted between October 2014 and September 2015.

5 The first case study was on Muara Angke, where the research team was trained in carrying out loss assessment and getting familiar with the tools that were subsequently used in other fishing locations in Java: gillnet fisheries in Tegal, Central Java; gillnet fisheries in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta; and small pelagic processed fish in Brondong, East Java. The preliminary draft was submitted following the National Workshop on Fish Loss Assessments: Causes and Solutions , held on 3 November 2015. During the Workshop, participants: exchanged lessons learned from the field research.

6 Validated data on fish losses;. identified the critical control point of fish losses and efforts to reduce them; and identified opportunities for collective action to be implemented at the local, regional and global levels. The draft was thoroughly reviewed by FAO's international consultant and post-harvest fisheries and fishing operations technical officers before the final version was then edited and published. iv FAO. 2017 .

7 FAO fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1129. Rome, Italy. ABSTRACT. The fish loss assessment methodology outlined by the Save Food programme (FAO, 2014) and with reference to earlier work by Ward and Jeffries (2000) and Diei-Ouadi and Mgawe (2011) had been used to undertake assessments in different locations in Java where the focus has been on particular fishing gear, fish species and products. These were major fishery products (with the main focus on squid products) in Muara Angke Fishing Port, North Jakarta, DKI Jakarta; gillnet fisheries in Tegal, Central Java; gillnet fisheries in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta; and small pelagic processed fish in Brondong, East Java.

8 They were selected for their role in general fish supply, food security and employment, and for their prevalence in gillnet fisheries . The objective was to develop an up-to-date and detailed understanding of different types of losses affecting food security and stakeholders' livelihoods. The key findings validated at the National Workshop on Fish Loss Assessments: Causes and Solutions , held on 3 November 2015, can be summarized as follows: Physical losses were generally negligible (about 5 percent). However, a key factor in fish waste that affects this amount is the bycatch, which has a potential environmental and biodiversity impact.

9 It is estimated that the annual loss for the total fleet annual is: 100 dolphins (5 tonnes), 100 turtles (5 to 200 kg each), 300 shark-suckers, crabs, murex and jellyfish, most of which in the net. Discards at sea (especially during the peak season) also occur and are cause for concern. Poor quality raw material for processing, with substandard quality product identified only after thawing in the case of frozen products, forms the bulk of the quality losses. In addition to poor hygiene practices and facilities, another significant loss is the quality loss due to prolonged soaking time, 12 hours.

10 This, combined with prolonged and poor on-board handling and storage, lead to tonnes (99 percent in weight) in reduced quality, which is equal to a 28 percent loss in value per trip of the catch in locations such as Tegal. Market force losses are not considered significant, but do occur during religious holidays when demand is low. Low demand is often followed by periods of high demand. Recommended interventions in the fields of policy, legislation, technology, infrastructure and services, knowledge and skills have been identified, the most recurrent of which across study locations are: Ensure access to an adequate supply of affordable potable water for hygiene, sanitation, processing and ice making.
