Laut Tawar Lake is a stagnant body of water located in Central Aceh, covering an area of 5,740.10 hectares. One of the fishery resources in Laut Tawar Lake. Freshwater lobsters live in the crevices of rocks, creating holes in the muddy bottom for hiding. The CCRF (Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries) is an international principle and standard regarding behavioral patterns for irresponsible practices to achieve sustainable fisheries. This study aims to determine environmentally friendly freshwater lobster fishing gear based on the CCRF, with three types of fishing gear: Seruwe, Segapa, and Gallon traps. This study was conducted in December 2024. The results showed that the Segapa trap received a score of 33, the Seruwe trap received a score of 34, and the Gallon trap received a score of 30. When categorized into four categories of environmental friendliness of fishing gear, namely categories 28 to 36, it can be concluded that all three fishing gear are environmentally friendly.
