Based on data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), fisheries production in the North Natuna Sea reached 2,687.8 tons in 2017. The most commonly caught fish was scad, totaling 451.7 tons or 16.8 percent of the total catch. The second most abundant catch was skipjack tuna, at 311.2 tons, equivalent to 11.6 percent.

Besides fish, squid and octopus were also among the potential catches. These catches weighed 237.9 tons and 138.5 tons respectively. Various other fish species with smaller catches, ranging from hundreds of kilograms to 2 tons, totaled 234.5 tons. Some of these included Spanish mackerel, sharks, and rays.

The Natuna North waters, bordering the South China Sea, have become a subject of discussion. This is in line with China's actions in escorting its fishing vessels conducting illegal fishing in Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in that area.
