Frigate tuna (Euthynnus affinis) is one of the most economically valuable capture fishery commodities in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Sustainable fisheries management is essential to ensure the balance between resource utilization, ecosystem integrity, and the livelihoods of fishing communities. This study aimed to evaluate the management status of frigate tuna fisheries and to identify the key factors influencing their dynamics and sustainability using the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM). The research was conducted from June to August 2025 at the Meureudu and Panteraja Fish Landing Centers using a survey approach involving field observations, interviews, documentation, and direct biological measurements. A total of 47 fishers and 9 representatives from relevant institutions participated in the study. The assessment was carried out across five EAFM domains: fish resources, fishing practices, habitat and ecosystem, social, and economic. The results indicated composite scores of 64 for fish resources, 73 for fishing practices, 60 for habitat and ecosystem, 80 for the social domain, and 54 for the economic domain. The overall EAFM aggregate score was 66.20, indicating a good level of fisheries management. The sustainability of frigate tuna fisheries is primarily influenced by the condition of fish resources, fishing practices, habitat and ecosystem quality, stakeholder participation, and the socio-economic conditions of fishing households.
