| Abstract | ||
| Tuna (Thunnus sp.) is one of the main fishery commodities with high economic value and a significant export market, particularly to the United States, Japan, and the European Union. This study aimed to formulate a primary strategy for the sustainable management of tuna (Thunnus sp.) in Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 573, Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The research used a quantitative methodology. Primary data were collected from seven experts representing key stakeholders: one representative from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Directorate General of Capture Fisheries), one from the Indonesian Tuna Association, one from the East Java Provincial Fisheries Service, one from the Malang Regency Fisheries Service, one tuna fishing entrepreneur, one academic specializing in capture fisheries, and one representative from the fishermen’s association. The study identified the top strategic priorities for sustainable tuna management in FMA 573. The highest priority is implementing a quota system (measured fisheries), with a priority score of 0.36274. This is followed by the strategy of adopting AI applications and environmentally friendly fishing technologies (0.32077), capacity building and strengthening fishermen’s institutions (0.20497), and finally, law enforcement to combat Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, which received the lowest priority score of 0.11152. | ||
