The important factor in promoting sustainable fisheries is implementing a sustainable fishing operation that is not only environmentally friendly but also economically and socially acceptable. As most of the existing improvement focused on the fishing gear, this study concentrates on the fishing vessel. Investigation on the existing practices is a key to formulation of management measures, hence a sustainability assessment has been carried out on small-scale fishing vessels by incorporating environmental and economic aspect of fishing operations. A case study was conducted in Palabuhanratu, a region with a significant number of small-scale fishing practices, which is typical of many fishing regions in Indonesia and other developing nations. Assessment was conducted on four principal types of vessels representing pelagic-ground fishing and active–passive fishing. Amongst the studied vessels, the lift net vessel which operates pelagic-passive fishing generates the least impact in both environmental and economic indicators, whilst the largest impact is derived from the trammel net vessel. In general, passive fishing has better performance in comparison to active fishing. Compared to pelagic fishing, ground fishing contributes higher impacts on environment, however in terms of economic, this operation catches more valuable fish than its counterpart. This result suggests the importance of trade-off when formulating management measures to promote the sustainable fishing vessel operations.
