Abstract

The wealth of Indonesia’s nature is mostly obtained from the abundant marine products. The ocean area of about 7.1 million square kilometers makes Indonesia have very diverse sea products. Of course, this is an opportunity for Indonesia to increase the productivity of its marine products. The increase in marine products must be accompanied by the development of an economic driving force in a Minapolitan area. This study provides an overview of the sectors that are directly related to the fishery sector. At a higher stage, this research is targeted to be able to obtain a multiplier matrix input-output formation which can predict the impact of the development on the fishery sector to increase employment opportunities and income for an economic growth sector. It is important to understand that the development of the fishery economic sector is essential because the Minapolitan area is one of the leading regions that is expected to contribute to state revenue. Besides, to increase the gross regional domestic income, the Minapolitan area also has the opportunity to increase labor productivity.
