This study aims to analyze the technical performance and identify the key challenges in the development of pole-and-line fisheries in Maluku Province, Indonesia. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Primary data were collected through field observations and structured interviews with fishers, vessel captains, company managers, and representatives of the Indonesian Pole and Line and Hand line Fisheries Association (AP2HI). Secondary data were obtained from the Maluku Provincial Marine and Fisheries Office, AP2HI’s operational records, and relevant government policies and scientific literature. The results indicate a substantial decline in the technical performance of the pole-and-line fleet, marked by a reduction in the number of active vessels from 587 units in 2010 to only 26 in 2024 and a consistent decrease in catch volumes, especially for skipjack tuna. Operational efficiency has also been compromised by the high and unstable use of live bait, with bait-to-catch ratios reaching 22-37%, far above the recommended standard of 8–10%. Contributing factors include seasonal bait availability, inadequate cold storage facilities, and the absence of reliable bait cultivation systems. Despite these challenges, the pole-and-line fishery retains several strategic advantages. It provides high employment opportunities, uses environmentally friendly and selective fishing gear, and benefits from a stable demand for skipjack tuna in both domestic and international markets. However, the fishery faces serious constraints such as high operational costs, declining productivity, bait shortages, competition over access to fish aggregating devices (FADs), and limited port infrastructure.
