Tuna fish as the mainstay of Indonesia

Indonesia is a country that has many islands sea area certainly have a wider range than the land area of Indonesia. Indonesia's natural resources are certainly more that comes from the sea. The resources of the sea one is Tuna.

As explained in wikipedia Indonesia, Tuna is a marine fish that is composed of several species of the family Scombridae, mostly the genus Thunnus. This fish is a powerful swimmer (never measured reached 77 km/h). Unlike most fish have white meat tuna, pork pink to dark red. This is because the muscles of tuna contains more myoglobin than other fish. Some of the larger tuna species, such as bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), can raise the temperature of blood, above the water temperature with muscle activity. This led to them can live in colder water and can survive in a variety of conditions. Most large-bodied, tuna fish that has a high commercial value.

Tuna is a commercial fish, fisheries catch an important commodity. The NGO International Seafood Sustainability Foundation has compiled a detailed report about the world tuna stocks in 2009, which is revised on a regular basis. According to the report, "These kinds of tuna paramount to capture fisheries and sport fishing is big eye tuna, yellowfin, tuna-bluefin and albacore, tatihu, and skipjack tuna. Between the 1940s and the mid-1960s, the world fisheries catches against the five most important tuna species has increased from approximately 300 thousand tons per year to around a million, most of them with a fishing line.

With the development of technologies to capture tool trawl ring (purse-seine), in recent years catches have surged to more than 4 million tonnes per year. About 68 per cent of that number coming from the Pacific Ocean, 22 percent of the Indian Ocean, and the remaining 10 per cent is divided between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Skipjack catches up to 60%, followed by the yellowfin (24%), large eyes (10%) and albacore (5%). Approximately 62% of world production is captured by using the trawl ring, amounting to 14% by using fishing line rawai tuna (longline), 11% with fishing line huhate (pole and line), the rest with others. In 2006 Australia Government alleged that Japan had been harvesting of tuna in excess (the situation) and illegal, to capture the 12-20 thousand tons per year, well above the agreed quota of 6 thousand tons per year. The value of the excess catch it dates to reach 2 billion dollars (u.s.). Advantages of the arrest is alleged to have destructive bluefin stock.

Javanese Eagle
Bird Javanese Eagle (Spizaetus bartelsi) is a species of medium-sized Eagle endemic to (the original species) in Java. This animal is considered to be identical to the coat of arms of the Republic of Indonesia, Garuda. And since 1992, it was set up as endangered mascot of Indonesia.

The first time I saw the bird sighting Javanese-eagle is directly in the middle of 2008 around the surface of the water Reservoir Karangkates in South Malang, East Java. Alas, until now I haven't had the opportunity to witness it for the second time.
Physically, the Javanese-eagle has a prominent Crest as much as 2-4 strands with lenght reaches 12 cm in diameter, hence the Javanese Eagle, also known as Jambul Eagle (the tuft-Java language). Adult body size (from tip of beak to tip of tail) of about 60-70 cm, feathers dark brown  on the back and wings. Carbon dark brown on the breast and streaked with thick dark brown on the belly. The tail is brownish black striped.
When flying, the Javanese-eagle is almost similar to the Eagle (Spizaetus cirrhatus) form of light, but tends to appear more brownish, with the stomach look darker and slightly smaller. The voice sounds high, over and over again, klii-iiw or ii-iiiw, varying between one to three syllables. Or sound high pitched and fast kli-kli-kli-kli-kli-kli-kli. A bit much, his voice is similar to the Eagle's voice even though the difference is quite clear in its tone.
The other picture, highlight the eyes and vision are very sharp, stout, wing wings beaked strong, empowered cruising height, and when silence body muscular and authoritative. The "males" that's the impression that perhaps inspire 12 countries showing the figure of a bird on his flag. With 19 other countries, Indonesia is even wearing a body as a symbol of the country with the mythological bird garuda

The population of birds in the wild is estimated at Java lived 600 tails. World Conservation bodies of the United Nations mengategorikannya endangered. Convention on international trade for the Flora and Fauna are endangered include them in Appendix 1, which means organizing extra tight trading. Based on the latest keterancaman of the IUCN criteria, the Javanese-eagle is listed in the category of Endangered or Threatened (Collar et al., 1994, Shannaz et al., 1995). Through a Presidential Decree Number 4 in 1993 about the Wildlife and national flower, the Government of INDONESIA confirmed the Javanese-eagle as endangered in aerospace.
Eagle Habitat is limited to Java in Java, especially in areas with old-growth forests and wooded hills in the area at the turn of the lowlands to the mountains.
Even today, the habitat of this bird is getting narrowed due to the lack of forest ecosystems resulting from the destruction caused by humans, the effects of global warming, and the impact of pesticides. In West Java, the Javanese-eagle is only found in Radiant Mountain, Mount Salak, Mount Gede Pangrango, Papandayan, Patuha and Mount Halimun.
In Central Java in Java Eagle Mount Slamet, Mount Ungaran, Mount Muria, Mount Merapi and mount Lawu, while in East Java in the Merubetiri, the Baluran, Alas Purwo National Park, Bromo-Tengger-Semeru, Wilis and About HYDROPOWER Dam Karangkates.
