Food Production In Brunei
FISHING
in BRUNEI
DARUSSALAM
Fishing
 Fish consumption in Brunei – estimated 47kg per person per year.
 About 50% of the country needs of fish has to be imported mainly form:
i. Labuan
ii. Weston
iii. Lawas
iv. Miri
Sabah
Sarawak
Importance of fishing
1. The export of fish can contribute to country’s income
2. Fish waste can be made into fertilisers, oil, fodder and glue.
3. Source of protein which can build muscles, tissues and bone
marrow
4. Fishing is a major source of protein in the diets of the Brunei
people.
5. Fishing industry create jobs for the people such as:
a. Ship building b. Boat repairing c. Making & repairing
nets
d. Making ice & salt e. marketing of fish f. Making food
from fish
Fish fodder
Fish
Glue
Fishing areas
1.South China Sea
2. Brunei Bay
3. Inland Fishing
The sheltered part of
Brunei Bay,
located along the lower
course of the Brunei and
Temburong Rivers
It is a tidal area and many different types of fish
are found here.
Most of the fishing villages of Brunei are located
around here.
Brunei Estuary
• Fishing within 25km off
• Water up to about 40m deep
Inshore
Fishing
• Fishing between 25km –
75km off the coast
• Only carried out small % of
the fisherme
Offshore
Fishing
Fishing carried out from land-based
e.g. in rivers, streams, lakes and ponds such
as in the Brunei River, Damuan River,
Merimbun Lake, etc.
Inland fishing is also carried out in areas of
Kampong Sungai Matan and Kampong Sungai
Belukut (Mangrove Paradise Resort).
Factors encouraging fishing
Physical Factors
long coastline with shallow water
rich fishing ground in South China Sea due to
shallow seafloor with shoals of corals
Brunei bay and Tutong estuaries provide
shelter for fishing boats during storms
Many silt-laden rivers and estuaries that add
nutrients to the water and which supports the
Mangrove areas
Factors encouraging fishing
Human Factors
High demand for fish - high per capita
consumption of fish of about 47 kg per year.
Most people live on, or near the coasts, or
along the lower courses of rivers and their
estuaries, giving access to fishing and the
marketing of fish.
High living standards so that more people can
afford boats and outboard engines, and fuels
are cheap.
The Malay population has cultural links to the
sea, which contribute to the success fishing
and the popularity of fish in the local diet.
Types of Fishing Methods
Types of Fishing Methods
• Small fishing boats
• Fish and prawn breeding areasZone 1
• New part time fishermen
• Also companies using foreign workersZone 2
• Larger vessels
• Purse-seiners
• Long liners
Zone 3
• Tuna purse seining
• Tuna long liningZone 4
Types of Fishing Methods
i. Drift Net
ii. Trawl net
iii.Bubu
iv.Rambat
v. Hook and line
vi.Bintur
vii.Lintau
Drift Net (Rantau)
 Net hangs from
buoys (patau) which
float on the surface
of the water
 The bottom edge of
the net is held down
with weights (timah)
 Used to catch large
shoal e.g Rumahan
& Tamban
Drift net (Rantau)
Trawling (Pukat Tunda)
Net is dragged along
the seabed
Trawlers are fishing
boat that can go
further out to the
deep sea and also
spend more time
More fish can be
caught by trawling
than drift net
Trawling (Pukat Tunda)
This gear is for
catching pelagic
fish species like
sardines in the
offshore areas
using an on-
board vessel
Bubu (fish trap)
Crab trap (bintur) used to
catch crab
Rambat
(cast net)
used to
catch
prawn
Rambat (cast net)
Lintau (Palisade trap)
Tugu (Tidal funnel traps)
• Uncontrolled fishing
• Not enough fish is caught by fishermen
Reduction in
stocks
• too many fish are taken and they do not breed very fast
• Also companies using foreign workers
overfishing
• caused by oil spills, household rubbish, sewage, industrial
wastes.
• lead to a massive impact in destroying the environment.
• Dumping of toxic wastes leads to the growth of toxic
plankton leading to Red Tides
Pollution
• Blast fishing or Fish bombings
• illegal activities destroys coral reef which are the
habitat, breeding,
Destructive
fishing
Disadvantages / Problems of fishing:
Other issues / Problems of fishing:
1. Only few want to do fishing full time
2. Few trawlers being used
3. Fishermen do not use modern technology
4. Fishermen need to work hard and stay under hot
weather during the day in order to catch more fish
but in return payment is low
5. Offshore oil drilling poses a constant threat of oil
pollution and certain types of fishing are not
allowed near the oil rig structures e.g. trawling.
6. Increasing costs e.g. costs of nets, boats, modern
equipment
Steps taken by government to improve fishing:
 Encourage more fish farm to be set up
 Create more artificial coral reefs at Tungku coast – to
increase fish population
 Encourage use of Global positioning System (GPS) and fish
finder
 Encourage foreign collaboration with local companies for
fish processing
 Develop cage culture of marine fish
 Develop pond culture for marine shrimp
 Provide technical support and training for fishermen
Types of fish caught
Freshwater ponds: Tilapia – main type
Ikan keli - freshwater
Saltwater fish - anchovy
Ikan merah (red snapper)
Duai hitam (black pomfret)
Duai putih
Rumahan laki
Rumahan bini
tamban
tenggiri
Prawn, crab, squid
bebatik
Pari (stingray)
