The objectives of this research are: (1) to find out the Welfare Level of the Fishermen according to the World Bank (2) to find out the Welfare Level of the Lero Village Fishermen based on the Central Bureau of Statistics. Data were collected using observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used in measuring fishermen's welfare using the income approach and BPS criteria. The results of the research show that (1) Based on the net income of fishermen for a month is IDR. 839.413, which means less than World Bank standards, it can be categorized as poor or not yet prosperous. (2) Based on the sum of the calculation of the recapitulation of welfare indicators based on the Central Bureau of Statistics criteria, it shows that the fishermen are at a moderate level of welfare, with a total score of 15.

This study aims to analyzed Internal Factor Evaluation, External Factor Evaluation, SWOT and Grand Strategy Matrices. The results showed that the strengths of eel business development in Palu were experience in the eel business, regular customers and suppliers as well strategic business location. The weaknesses were that the collectors/traders/middlemen don’t yet know how to grow out glass eels and captive breeding is not yet possible, business management is still family-oriented and production capacity is still limited. Opportunity factors for eel business development in Palu were high market demand (domestic and foreign), eel resources are still abundant and eel prices remain high. While threat factors were weaknesses in legislation/regulation on eels, environmentally damaging capture methods, and changes in climate that affect the availability of eels. The strategy for eel business development in Palu City was in quadrant I, which is a Strength-Opportunity (S-O) or aggressive strategy

The sustainability of seaweed cultivation is influenced by multidimensional factors such as the quality of the aquatic environment, cultivation technology, economic contribution to cultivators, social conditions of the community, and government institutional support. This paper aims to reveal the leveraging factors for the sustainability of seaweed cultivation in the coastal area of Parigi Moutong Regency by using a multidimensional scaling approach and the RAPFISH application. The results showed that the sustainability of seaweed cultivation in the coastal area of Parigi Moutong Regency was in the less sustainable category. Leveraging factors that play an important role in the sustainability of seaweed farming are employment at the cultivator level and the feasibility of cultivation as a good factor, while the low quality of seeds of seaweed, socio-cultural capital, and fluctuating commodities prices are categorized as bad factors.

The marine area of Tojo Una-Una District has the potential for fishery resources and small islands resources which are used for fishery activities and marine ecotourism. Although most of its territorial waters are a conservation area of the Togean Islands National Park (TINP), in the utilization of fish resources in this area, some still use destructive tools that threaten the habitat and preserve of pelagic fish resources and the economic sustainability of local communities. This study aims to estimate the maximum economic potential of the catch and the level of utilization of pelagic fish resources in Tojo Una-Una district’s sea waters. The research data used combines time-series data from pelagic fish catches and fishing effort (trips) from 2003 to 2015, field survey data, and analyzed using the Gordon-Schaefer Bioeconomic Model approach or the Surplus Production Model. The estimation results show that the total maximum economic Yield (MEY) of pelagic fish resources in the waters of Tojo Una-Una District is quite large, namely 14,950.54 tons per year. Although the potential level of economic utilization of large pelagic fish resources is higher than the use of small pelagic fish, the potential economic rent obtained from the use of small pelagic fish is still higher than that of large pelagic fish. Given that the utilization of pelagic fish resources in the waters of Tojo Una-Una District is under MEY, a careful addition to the capacity of the fishing effort is needed to increase the economic benefits of fish resources for fishermen and the region.Keywords:Estimation,Maximum Economic Yield Pelagic FishABSTRAKWilayah perairan laut Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una memiliki potensi sumberdaya perikanan dan sumberdaya pulau-pulau kecil yang dimanfaatkan untuk kegiatan perikanan dan ekowisata bahari. Wilayah perairan Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una sebagian besar merupakan kawasan konservasi Taman Nasional Kepulauan Togean (TNKT), namun dalam pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan di wilayah ini masih ada yang menggunakan alat yang sifatnya destruktif sehingga mengancam habitat, kelestarian sumberdaya ikan pelagis dan keberlanjutan ekonomi masyarakat lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi potensi ekonomi maksimum hasil tangkapan dan tingkat pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan pelagis di perairan laut kabupaten Tojo Una-Una. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggabungkan data time-series hasil tangkapan ikan pelagis dan upaya tangkap (trip) dari tahun 2003 hingga 2015. Data survei lapangan dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan Model Bioekonomi Gordon-Schaefer atau Model Produksi Surplus. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa total tangkapan maksimum ekonomi (MEY) sumberdaya ikan pelagis di perairan Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una mencapai 14.950,54 ton per tahun. Namun demikian, potensi tingkat pemanfaatan secara ekonomi sumberdaya ikan pelagis besar lebih tinggi dibanding pemanfaatan ikan pelagis kecil, meskipun potensi rente ekonomi yang diperoleh dari pemanfaatan ikan pelagis kecil masih lebih tinggi dibanding ikan pelagis besar. Kesimpulannya, pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan pelagis di wilayah perairan Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una berada di bawah MEY, maka penambahan secara hati-hati kapasitas upaya tangkap diperlukan untuk meningkatkan manfaat ekonomi sumberdaya ikan bagi nelayan dan daerah.Kata kunci:Estimasi, Hasil ekonomi maksimum,Ikan Pelagis

Post-empowerment, the wife of small-scale fishermen, can affect changes in household economic incomes. This study aims to assess the factors that affect household income after the empowerment of fisherwomen. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression estimation model was used in this study. The results showed that fishermen’s wife’s household income after empowerment is influenced by wife’s age, education, and the number of active family members. On the other hand, the number of dependent household members and regional differences had no significant influence. In addition, improving the household economics of fishermen can be further enhanced through the skills needed to process processed fish by providing market intelligence for the sustainability of their business.
