| Abstract | ||||
| Sardinella lemuru is a leading commodity in the Bali Strait. However, it is necessary to evaluate the sustainability of fish resource utilization for being exploit in the provinces of East Java and Bali. To maintain the sustainability of the fish, efforts are made to identify problems and produce strategies for managing Sardinella lemuru resources and fishing gear. Purposive sampling techniques were employed to collect both primary and secondary data, which were subsequently analyzed using RAPFish multidimensional measurement (MDS). The results of the sustainability analysis of the lemuru fish resource in the Bali Strait show three dimensions with an extremely sustainable status: the ecological dimension (87.681%), the technical dimension (81.619%), and the social dimension (80.318%). The economic dimension has a moderate sustainable status (57.146%). Environmental variability plays an important role in lemuru population availability, but it cannot offset the pressure of overfishing. MDS revealed that lemuru sustainability in the Bali Strait is under pressure originated from various sources. To achieve sustainable status, interventions must be integrated and holistic, addressing more than one dimension. Efforts to improve the situation should include limiting fishing grounds (ecological), increasing the value of products (economic), strengthening the role of fishing communities (social), and improving the management of fishing efforts (technical). This approach provides a clear roadmap for balancing economic benefits with ecological conservation for the future of lemuru resources. | ||||
