The fishing community in Tegalsari Fishing Port (Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai - PPP) uses pulled fishing nets to catch fish such as dorab wolf-herring (Chirocentrus dorab). Dorab wolf-herring is not the main commodity of the fishing community. However, dorab wolf-herring is one of the alternative ingredients of the fish processing business. This research aimed to evaluate fish quality, and identify supply chain systems and sustainability. The sample collection used purposive sampling on 3 fishing vessels that caught dorab wolf-herring. Data collection used observation, questionnaire, and in-depth interviews with 40 respondents. Data analysis determined the suitability of fish handling using gap analysis and sustainability status using RAPFISH. The quality test of dorab wolf-herring fulfilled Indonesian National Standard (Standard Nasional Indonesia - SNI) parameters. The supply chain is as follows: fishing vessel, PPP, Fish Auction (Tempat Pelelangan Ikan - TPI), collector trader, fish processing business unit, and consumer. The suitability of fish handling at fishing ports adhered to the standards regulated in 52A/KEPMEN-KP/2013 concerning Requirements for Quality Assurance and Safety of Fishery Products in the Production, Processing, and Distribution Process with an average value of 69.32%. The average value indicated that fish handling is almost up to standard. The RAPFISH analysis for each sustainability dimension has an average index value of 51 (moderately sustainable). Therefore, the fishing communities in the PPP Tegalsari area are in fairly good condition and can support the sustainability of fish raw materials.
