The Measured Fishing Policy (PIT) was implemented to ensure the sustainability of fishery resources; however, it may affect the economic conditions of fishermen. This study aimed to compare the income of purse seine fishermen before and after the implementation of PIT and to analyze the profitability of purse seine fishing businesses at Kutaraja Ocean Fishing Port (PPS Kutaraja). The study employed a quantitative descriptive method using a census approach. Respondents consisted of 6 purse seine vessels implementing PIT, represented by vessel owners and captains. Data were collected through interviews and documentation, then analyzed using revenue, cost, and profit analyses. The results showed that the implementation of PIT had not significantly affected fishermen’s income because fishing activities remained relatively unchanged. The purse seine fishing business remained economically feasible, generating an annual profit of IDR 9.056.800.000.
