Corresponding Author: Rusmilyansari ABSTRACT The main purpose of this research is to analyze gillnet capturer instrument and gillnet fishery reource continuity and creating strategic scenario in sustainable gillnet fishery management. The research is conducted in Tanah Laut regency. Research method used Participatory Rural Apraisal (PRA) technique. Data Analysis employs analythical descriptive and sustainability analysis with Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method and RAPFISH (The Rapid Appraisal of Status of Fisheries) application. Research result shows that gillnet capturer instrument observed from technology and ecology dimension has highest sustainability (good), from economy dimension (quite sustainable), meanwhile from ethic dimension (less sustainable) and from social dimension has lowest sustainability (bad). White shrimp regression Y = 0.054200429-7.93E-08X with optimum catch result 9,266.19 ton/year, effort optimum 431.923 trips/year; croackers regression Y= 0.012407688-8.96408E-09X, optimum catch result 4.293 ton/year, effort optimum 692.078 trips/year, it means that in term of gulamah fish (Nibea Albiflora) and white shrimp resource is still can be improved. Another research result shows that a priority used as sustainable management strategy, i.e., species in the same geography, catching range, fish size, the catched fishes are not in mature age yet, the high subsidy, how big the market is, rules of management, ethic formation influence, fishery sector role, education level, fish handling on ship, ship size. Those factors need to be well managed in the future in order to maintain or even improve catch fisheries in Tanah laut Regency continuity.
