This study aims to determine fishers’ income, and health application protocols among tilapia fishers (Oreochromis niloticus) in Jatigede Reservoir, specifically, in Darmaraja District, Sumedang Regency, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purposive sampling technique was used, where data collection is done using a questionnaire technique. Primary data was obtained using a questionnaire to determine knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic, and its health protocols. Secondary data were obtained from various sources such as literature, journals, theses, books, and the Sumedang District Fisheries Service. The amount of profit obtained from the revenue price minus production costs, which are divided into fixed costs (ship maintenance costs, machinery, and fishing gear depreciation), and variable costs (consumption costs and fuel costs). The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on fishers understanding and the application of health protocols. This resulted into decrease in the number of fishing trips and a decrease in fish prices affecting supply and demand instability leading to reduction of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fishers profits in Darmaraja District, Sumedang Regency.
