The research aims to find out the prospect of implementation of national fish logistic system or Sistem Logistik Ikan Nasional (SLIN), especially in Indonesia. This research is an empirical juridical research using statutory uproach approach, conceptual aproach, and comparative approach. Then analyzed using synthesis analysis. The results showed that SLIN implemetasi provide great benefits for national fish production, also directly contribute to the increase of national economic development.
