Abstract: 
Sadeng waters are one of the distribution areas for skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), which can be found almost every month and can even be found every day if the fishing season is right, namely February to March or September to October. Sadeng coastal Fishery Port (PPP) has a role as a center of economic activity and plays a role in developing fishing technology. Capture fisheries businesses, and other activities related to the fisheries and marine sectors. The aim of this research is to examine the potential aspects of K. pelamis resources and analyze the optimal use of K. pelamis resources. By assessing the potential of fisheries resources to determine the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) value, information can be obtained on the level of utilization and level of effort. This research was carried out from February to May 2023 on a purse seiner. Sadeng Waters, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Tools and materials used include cameras, stationery and questionnaire sheets. Primary data and secondary data collection methods use 4 (four) methods, namely observation, interview, documentation and literature study. The research results show that the level of utilization of K. pelamis in Gunungkidul Regency is experiencing overfishing conditions. The highest utilization rate occurred in 2020 at 132%. The potential fish resources in Gunungkidul Regency are the average production of K. pelamis in 2018 to 2022 of 18,122 tons. Based on analysis (MSY) and (Fopt), K. pelamis resources from 2018 to 2022 have reached over fishing. The high level of utilization of K. pelamis occurs due to a lack of supervision from the relevant agencies regarding the recording of production results from fishing vessels based at PPP Sadeng.
