This study investigates the economies of scale and efficiency of small-scale capture fisheries, as well as to know how the socio-economic variable influencing the small-scale capture fisheries business in the Kurau village, Central Bangka district. The approach used is a quantitative method by applying multiple linear regression models to adopt the Cobb-Douglas production function. The study found that the scale-economies condition in the small-scale fisheries is decreasing return to scale. We also found the results of allocative efficiency in this small-scale fisheries business are relatively inefficient. Other findings of model estimation indicated that the variables of capital, labor, and fishing distance have a positive and significant effect, while the variables of age, experience, and education level of fishermen have no significant effect on small-scale fisheries production. The main factor that is an obstacle for local fishermen is technology, therefore technology assistance and support from the government are needed as a policy to improve small-scale capture fisheries business and fishermen welfare.

“…According to the previous researches, community welfare can be understood as an assessment relevant to economic variables, participation on development and access, and also the use of coastal resources. The research conducted in other countries (Hussain et al, 2011;Nurul Islam et al, 2014;Zaiman et al, 2017;d'Armengol et al, 2018;Alemu &Azadi, 2018) descriptively and qualitatively was also based on understanding the welfare of the similar variables as the fishermen community in Indonesia.…”

Changes created by technological developments are not only about material changes, but are also closely related to changes in social structure in the community as users and consequences recipients of these technologies application. The capture fisheries community is one of many communities that have also experienced the development of fishing technology. It cannot be denied that technological sophistication is driving the production of the fishing community. However, this increase is not necessarily followed by an increase in welfare for the community. This paper aims to examine technological developments and changes in social structure in the fishing community in Juwana, especially in Bendar Village and Bajomulyo Village, and identify their implications for community welfare. The research that underlies this paper is conducted using qualitative methods. The results showed that the development of technology brought changes in social structure in the fishing community. The economy and welfare of the community are getting better due to the efficiency of fishing with the latest technology. Solidarity that grows in the fishing communities in the two villages, is a key factor in preventing inter-class exploitation by maintaining the position of members of the upper stratification of fisher community from competition with upper strata outside the community, as well as providing a space for community members from the middle and lower strata to carry out social upward mobility. Keywords: fisher, fishing technology, social structure, solidarity, social mobility.

“…A value chain approach is recommended to map the value chain, identify drivers for smallholders to engage in fishing businesses, examine constraints affecting cooperatives in supplying fishery, assess the impact of fisheries on livelihoods and household welfare, and investigate constraints (Alemu & Azadi, 2018). Value chain analysis was applied to smoked fish products at Bandarharjo Semarang to determine the amount of value-added provided by each stakeholder at the supply chain node from suppliers to final consumers (Arsiwi et al, 2018).…”
