The Jatigede Reservoir is the second largest reservoir in West Java after the Jatiluhur reservoir, which is located in Sumedang Regency, West Java. The purpose of the study was to analyze the socio-economic conditions and the value of the benefits of capture fisheries in Jatigede Reservoir, Sumedang Regency. This research was conducted by used data collection method (observation, questioner, literature study) and method of data analysis (feasibility business analysis). The data used are primary and secondary data. Primary data with judgment sampling 25 respondents. The results of the are income analysis (Total Revenue/TR), Break Even Point (BEP) analysis, Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period. The results of the analysis of the feasibility of catching fish using several fishing tools are the Gill Net Profit Value Rp.72,150,000, Throwing Net (kecrik) Rp.343,450,000 and Bagan Rp.26,750,000. Break Event Point (BEP) production Gill net 2,573 kg, Throw net (kecrik) 1,816 kg, Bagan 1,290 kg in 1 year and Break Event Point (BEP) price for Gill net Rp. 5,437/kg, Throw Net (kecrik) Rp.6.810/kg and Bagan Rp.6.450/kg in 1 year. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) Gill net 2.75, Throw Net (kecrik) 2.20 and Bagan 2.32, Payback Period (PP) Gill net for 7 months, Throw net (kecrik) for 5 months, while Bagan for 4 months. This fishing activity has a positive value, meaning that the fishing effort in Jatigede Reservoir uses Gillnet, Throwing Net, Bagan and this is profitable and feasible to carry out.
