Fishing effort is often a difficult parameter to identify in fisheries studies and even more so if the study involves coastal fisheries spread along a coast more than 1,000 km long. This is the case of the study of the mini seiner fleet operating in the Java Sea. In order to estimate this descriptive parameter of the fishing effort, it has been suggested to use the method of calculating the average activity rate and at the expense of given on certain hypotheses, to translate these rates into estimates of the number of fishing trips. This article offers a first global approach of the mini seiner fleet operating in the Java Sea from ports located on the north coast of the island of Java. It is thus demonstrated that this fleet's operating activities although more or less significant, were uninterrupted all through the year 1995, the landmark year for this study. This study also describes the first reason for the heterogeneity of the fleet from the dynamics of utilization of the landing ports by mini seiner fishing units. (Résumé d'auteur)
