Tuna and tuna-like fisheries play a vital role in Indonesian livelihood, especially in the archipelagic waters. However, despite the importance, the concern in general data collection activities for tuna, i.e., limited, with incomplete scientific knowledge and insufficient data has hampered the assessment. The purpose of this study was to analyse on how fisheries-dependent data system could transform the data quality. E-logbook has the best attribute for reaching the goals, especially for small-scale tuna fisheries. Characterised by low cost and vast spatial and temporal coverage, it is convinced on why the program should be expanded and monitored carefully. Analysis on fisheries indicators showed a promising result, especially for filling the gap which could not be covered by research.
