This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in maintaining fish supply resilience in traditional fish trade from the perspective of economic sociology. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing on various secondary data sources such as scientific journal articles, books, research reports, and official publications relevant to the research topic. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques by reviewing and synthesizing findings from previous studies related to social capital and fisheries trade. The results indicate that social capital plays a significant role in sustaining fish supply through three main dimensions: trust, social networks, and social norms. Trust facilitates long-term cooperation among traders, fishermen, and suppliers. Social networks expand access to information, resources, and alternative supply channels when distribution disruptions occur. Meanwhile, social norms strengthen commitment and solidarity among trading actors, thereby supporting the stability of the fish distribution chain. The findings suggest that fish supply resilience is influenced not only by economic factors and fisheries resources availability but also by the quality of social relationships established among trading actors. Therefore, social capital can be regarded as a strategic resource in supporting the sustainability of fish trade in traditional markets.
