The estuary of Musi River and the swamps at Salah Nama Island are fishing areas for local fishers from Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The fishers are well adapted to fish habitat complexities and fish biodiversity by operating various types of fishing gear. Description of fishing gear is a type of information needed for fisheries management. This study aims to make an inventory of fishing gear operated by the local fishers and assess the conformity of the fishing gear with existing regulations. Field surveys and interviews were carried out from March to May 2023 involving fishers around the island. As expected, their catches were dominated by estuarine fishes. This study identified three categories of fishing gear, namely traps (sengkirai, traps for shrimps), gillnets (seluang nets, driftnets, tangkul, and cast nets), and hooks in the form of longlines. The specifications of all fishing gear complied with the existing regulations.
