The number of samples taken according to the category of fishing units were 20 units of lift net, 58 units of gill nets, 8 units of bubu, 3 units of sero, 10 units of fishing rods and 1 beach seines. Based on the results of standardization of technical aspects, environmental aspects, social aspects and economic aspects, the analysis of fishing gear gillnets is the most appropriate fishing gear to be developed in Central Bangka Regency with VA = 13.26 which makes gillnets gear priority I.
