Indonesia is a significant trader in marine molluscs and has a comprehensive legislative framework in place to protect and use molluscs sustainably. The recent inclusion of nautilus in Appendix II of CITES and the general lack of understanding of the level of protection and regulation Indonesia's marine molluscs receive necessitates a review of current laws and agreements. The most relevant are two legally binding international agreements, CITES and the CBD, and Law No 5, and Regulations 8 and 20, dealing with protection, preservation and exploration, respectively. Over the last 30 years, 12 species of mollusc have been legally protected in Indonesia and 7 are included in CITES Appendix II. Species that are not protected can be traded, provided quotas have been set for their commercial exploitation. Seizure data suggest that the illegal trade is considerable – on average almost 10,000 shells/year are confiscated. Seizures do not lead to prosecutions. It is recommended that (a) those involved in the trade of Indonesian marine molluscs need to familiarise themselves better with current legislation and regulation, (b) monitoring of domestic and international trade in marine molluscs needs to be better coordinated and intensified and (c) prosecutions for those trading illegally in marine molluscs need to increase.

印度尼西亚是海洋软体动物的重要贸易商，并且拥有完善的立法框架来可持续地保护和使用软体动物。鹦鹉螺最近被列入《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录二，以及对保护和管理水平普遍缺乏了解，印度尼西亚的海洋软体动物必须重新审视现行法律和协定。最相关的是两个具有法律约束力的国际协议，即《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》（CITES）和《生物多样性公约》（CBD）以及第5号法律以及关于保护，保存和勘探的第8条和第20条。在过去的30年中，印度尼西亚有12种软体动物受到了法律保护，CITES附录II中包括了7种。只要为商业开发设定了配额，不受保护的物种就可以交易。缉获数据表明非法贸易相当可观–每年平均没收近10,000枚炮弹。癫痫发作不会导致起诉。建议（a）参与印尼海洋软体动物贸易的人们需要更好地了解当前的法律和法规，（b）需要更好地协调和加强对海洋软体动物国内和国际贸易的监测，以及（c）对那些从事海洋软体动物非法交易的人的起诉需要增加。
