Abstract: The potential for fish in FMA-RI 715 reaches 631 703 t/year, but the utilization in North Maluku is only 57.2%, and landed directly in TFP only 0.56-1%. So that there are opportunities to develop the fishing industry, especially with sustainable patterns. This research aimed to analyze the condition of aquatic environment, fish production and its relationship with industrial transactions, and to develop a fishing industry model, based on fish resources and environmental carrying capacity in TFP area. Research used descriptive method, power model, scoring method, and context analysis. The results showed that Ternate's aquatic environment was in unpolluted and safe for industrial fishing operations. Fish production (X) in TFP tended to decrease (2018-2022), but had a positive relationship with industrial transaction value (Y), followed Ln(Y)=Ln(136.686)+(1.37xLn(X)). The developed fishing industry model was divided into three parts, namely: (a) selection of industrial business target fish, (b) industrial development scheme design, and (c) determination of fishing technology. The business target fish were skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), tuna (Thunnus sp.), yellow tail (Caesio cuning), grouper (Epinephelus sp.), cob (Euthynnus affinis), kite (Decapterus spp.), blue escape (Caesio caerulaureus), bloating (Rastrelliger sp.), anchovies (Stolephorus indicus) and mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson). The industrial development scheme was prioritized in the partnership platform. Fishing technology was directed at troll lines, handlines, pole and lines, traps, gillnets, and boat charts.
