This study analyzes the influence of Indonesia's geographical location on the equator on the dynamics of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) resources. The main objective is to examine how Indonesia's astronomical characteristics and tropical climate affect oceanographic conditions, the biological aspects of skipjack tuna, and the economic implications for fisheries. The method employed is a comprehensive literature review of various scientific sources, including recent journals and research reports. The findings indicate that Indonesia's equatorial position creates stable water temperatures and high primary productivity, supporting year-round growth and reproduction of skipjack tuna. Skipjack tuna is a major capture fishery commodity with significant economic value for Indonesia. However, global climate change poses negative impacts, including fluctuating fishing seasons and unstable fishermen's incomes. The conclusion emphasizes the need for adaptive and sustainable skipjack tuna fishery management to preserve resources and ensure the well-being of fishing communities amidst environmental challenges.
