Abstract Yellow-tail fusilier (Caesio cuning) is the dominant catch caught by fishermen in the Buton Strait, especially in the Managed Access and Reserves of Pasikolaga, Muna District, Southeast Sulawesi. The level of utilization of the yellow-tail is quite high, and it is caught in several fishing gear of several sizes, so it is necessary to have management arrangements to maintain the yellow-tail fish resource.
