The accordion‑shaped shrimp trap, locally called Bubu Naga, is increasingly used by fishermen in Tambak Lorok to catch white shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis). Although the trap yields high catches, its effect on marine resources and the environment must be examined. This study evaluated the environmental friendliness of Bubu Naga using nine criteria from the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF). Data were collected during six fishing trips in November 2024 and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The total catch was 32.04 kg, of which 13.43 kg (42 %) were target shrimp and 18.61 kg (58 %) were bycatch. Because the by‑catch proportion exceeded that of the target species, the gear does not meet the CCRF requirement for high selectivity. However, when all nine criteria were scored, Bubu Naga obtained a total score of 32 out of 36, placing it in the “very environmentally friendly” category. In summary, while the catch composition suggests limited environmental friendliness, the overall assessment indicates that Bubu Naga is highly acceptable from an ecological perspective. Managers should focus on improving species selectivity of the trap, so that its overall environmental performance can be fully realized.
