description The Central Java fishing industry has been operated for decades under the policy of open access management. Present fishery policy in the area emphasizes resource development in order to improve the fishing industry. However, development programmes place some pressure on the resource use that could lead to depletion. This study was undertaken to evaluate the status of the fisheries resource utilization of the northern coast of Central Java. Temporal or static fishing models were used to assess maximum and economic sustainable yields. Multiple input models of Schaefer and Fox were used but failed to produce the expected results. However the single model of Schaefer was able to do so. Results of the static single input model analysis showed that the fisheries resource were, in fact, highly exploited. The actual effort nearly approaches the estimated effort for Maximum Sustainable Yield. However, the existing effort was far higher than the estimated effort for the Open Access Equilibrium. The fact that the fishermen still continue fishing while economic rent had already dissipated, indicates that they were forced to do fishing.
