  abstract = {{T}he development of tuna fisheries in the {I}ndian {O}cean is closely linked to the use of {F}ish {A}ggregating {D}evices ({FAD}s). {W}hile {FAD}s increase fishing efficiency, their sustainability raises concerns. {I}nformation on {FAD} utilization, particularly in {I}ndonesia, remains limited. {T}his study investigates {I}ndonesia's anchored {FAD}s (a{FAD}s) tuna fisheries through a semi-structured survey of 293 tuna fishers using {FAD}s in eight major {I}ndonesian fishing ports in the {I}ndian {O}cean. {W}ith the exception of one group of handline vessels that use lights to attract tuna and operate at night, all other groups (purse seiners, troll-line, and handline vessels) utilize a{FAD}s in over 90 % of their tuna-targeted fishing operations. {A}ll a{FAD}s were reported to be privately owned, either by vessel captains, vessel owners, fishing associations, or companies, with a{FAD} sharing primarily occurring within the same a{FAD} ownership group. {O}n average, vessels or groups of vessels owned between 1 a{FAD} (hook and line vessels) to 8 a{FAD}s (purse seiners). a{FAD} arrays reported by respondents showed an average of 4-5 a{FAD}s within 10 nm of the a{FAD}s they utilize. {L}ong a{FAD} lifetimes (2-4 years on average) indicated the skilled knowledge of fishers in using and maintaining these devices. {I}nterestingly, the number of a{FAD}s visited by fishing vessels was not correlated with the trip duration and remained relatively low (< 16 a{FAD}s visited for all vessels). {T}his suggests that vessels tend to exploit the same a{FAD} array throughout their trip, even when it lasts several months. {L}anding data supported these findings and revealed seasonal patterns in a{FAD} use, including partial shifts in target species for hook and line vessels. {T}he findings of this study are expected to provide quantitative insights and contribute to the sustainable management of tuna {FAD} fisheries in {I}ndonesia and the {I}ndian {O}cean.},
