    Abstract: Small pelagic fish has important economic
value that cause vulnerablility to fishing activities.
Fishing activity will affect the existence of the fish stocks
and catches biomass. The purpose of this study was to
assess the level of vulnerability of small pelagic fish
resources in the Sunda Strait. The analysis of productivity
and susceptibility of the catch will be expected to provide
information of the stocks so that these resources can be
guaranteed sustainability. PSA assessment results the
Indian mackerel (<i>Rastrelliger kanagurta</i>), short mackerel
(<i>Rastrelliger branchysoma</i>), Island mackerel (<i>Rastrelliger
faughni</i>), Indian Scad (<i>Decapterus russelli</i>) and fringscale
sardinella (<i>Sardinella fimbriata</i>) are included in low
categories (&le;1.6). The productivity value of the fishes
showed different values while for the genus <i>Rastrelliger</i> fishes show the same results of susceptibility values.
Based on these results, Indian Scad have the highest
vulnerability index that is 1.58 while fringescale
sardinella has the lowest vulnerability index by 1.37.
After all, small pelagic fishes have vulnerability index by
1.28.
