Abstract: The study aims to find out and analyze the influence of running cost, shore cost, fishing duration and seasonal climate on profitability of purse seining small pelagic fishery business group in West Seram Regency in purpose to find out capture fishery development prospect by using such equipment in West Seram Regency. The data used in this study is primary data, i.e. a data collected from respondents through interview. Respondents are selected purposively from population of purse seining capture fishery business group. Multiple linear regression analysis method is applied to estimate the influence of running cost, shore cost, fishing duration and seasonal climate on the profitability variables (ROA). The findings reveal that running cost affects positively profitability, shore cost affects negatively and significantly profitability, fishing duration affects negatively and significantly profitability. On the contrary, seasonal climate does not affect profitability of purse seining capture fishery.
