This study aimed to determine the composition and catch rate of folded cube fish pots in the seawater of the Tuban Regency. The research was conducted in December 2018 located in the Sokorejo, Tuban Regency, using 30 units of folded cube fish pots with a size of 50x50x50 cm 2 . The cube folded trap installation was done in 10 times of catch trip and installed in the morning. The catches were collected, identified, and measured for their individual length and weight. The crabs were measured for the length and width of their carapace. The catching result of folded cube fish pots was classified into five types which are fish group (48.97%), crabs group (29.59 %), swimmer crabs (7.1%), Land hermit crab (6.12%), and mud snails (8.16%). The result showed that Two-spined Arm Swimming Crab ( Charybdis anisodon ) was the most dominant type of catch equal to 29.59% of the total catch, while other types of catch that were quite common are Pig Faced Leather Jacket ( Paramonacanthus choirocephalus ) (9.18%), and Crescent Pearch ( Terapon jarbua ) (8.16%). The average catch rate for folding cube was 32%/trip with a weighted average catch of 436.58 gr/trip.
