This study was highlighted the contenxt of albacore's number catch, swimming layer and subsurface oceanographic variables (SSOV) at Eastern Indian Ocean include temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, nitrate, phosphate and silicate. Hopefully the information would be useful for the longliners to understand the ALB behaviour, environment and the best techniques on how to catch this fish. Data in this study were based on the Research Institute for Tuna Fisheries (RITF) observer program in Benoa from 2010-2013. Data analysis was base on primary data and secondary data. Primary data are albacore's (ALB) swimming layer data which are measured by minilogger. Secondary data is SSOV data which extracted from World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA09). The results show that the optimum catch of albacore occurred at depth of 118 to 291 m with the average temperature between 12.41-20.47°C, dissolved oxygen 3.24-4.68 ml/l , salinity 34.78-35.01 psu, nitrate 6.78-17.50 µ mol/ l, phosphate 0.62-1.27 µ mol/l and silicate 10.06-24.77 µ mol/l. The highest catch of ALB was mostly at depth of 156 m (hook number 2 and 11) with the average temperature 18.71°C, dissolved oxygen 4.68 ml/l, salinity 34.78 psu, nitrate 10.71 µ mol/l, phosphate 0.86 µ mol/l and silicate 15.95 µ mol/l. The highest influence of swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch happened at depth of 291 m of ALB swimming layer with coefficient correlation (r) of 0.934 and determination coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.872. The lowest influence of swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch happened at depth of 156 m of albacore swimming layer with coefficient correlation (r) of 0.528 and determination coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.279.The relationship between swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable on catch of ALB tuna was low (<0.500).
