The West Kotawaringin District is one of the areas in Indonesia that has potential in the fisheries sector. This study aims to investigate the comparative advantage(s) of the fishery industry in the district, and identify the fishery products that can be the base/leading products by using Location Quotient (LQ). This study further uses Klassen Typology to find out the development strategy for fishery products. The result of LQ shows that all of the sub-districts in the West Kotawaringin District have different leading fishery products that can be developed. Furthermore, the results of Klassen typology show that two are the primary products, 37 are developing products, and 11 are underdeveloped products.
