Abstract

This article discusses the fishing economy of the Besuki region during the pre-New Order period. The major questions to be addressed with here are how the fish resources extraction developed in the region across time and how the region was transformed into a leading fishing complex. Using a wide range of historical source materials, the article argues that the development of the fisheries exploitation was induced by the presence of Dutch and Japanese fishers making use of better fishing technologies and the increase in number of fishing vessels operating in the region waters especially among the local fishers. This development brought a remarkable increase in catches and enabled the Besuki region to export fish products to other places, different from its earlier position as a fish importing area.
