In UU NO. 31 TAHUN 2014 describes several technical advantages related to the implementation of this regulation, such as options for resource management, technology application, scientific collaboration, and aquaculture technical development efforts. Therefore, several implementative strategies are needed for the development of the aquaculture sector which aim to determine the direction of developing a business and facilitate effective analysis. The conclusion from the results of this study is that there are limited resources, socio-economic factors and a lack of awareness regarding the regulations of UU NO. 31 TAHUN 2014 which affects the performance of the aquaculture sector.
