Optimal exploitation of biological of reef fishery management were 1,907,168 fishing effort, 397.18 ton per year production and Rp3.782.990.000 economic rent per year. While the optimum economic exploitation of reef fishery management were 1,537,262 fishing effort, 382.24 ton per year productions and Rp4.015.500.000 economic rent per year.
