Following the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, there are several amended articles on fishery law, including the article concerning quality assurance and fisheries products safety. This research aims to analyze the regulatory frameworks regarding the violation of quality assurance and fisheries product safety in Indonesia. This research used both the statute approach and the conceptual approach as legal research methods to analyze the issued legal problem. The result showed that the analyses of the elements of the regulatory frameworks of the violation of quality assurance and fisheries products safety presented that the violation of quality assurance and fisheries products safety that regulated in Article 89 of Fishery Law qualified as a criminal act, as stated in Article 103 Paragraph (2) of Fishery law, meanwhile, Article 27 Paragraph 3 of the Job Creation Law regulates it an administrative violation. Yet if the said violation resulting harm to human health, it is classified as a criminal violation, as regulated in Article 27 Paragraph 25. Furthermore, according to Article 89 of Fishery Law and Article 27 Paragraph 25 of the Job Creation Law, the imposed sentence for the perpetrator of the violation of quality assurance and fisheries products safety is imprisonment and fine. However, since both Article 27 Paragraph 3 of the Job Creation Law and Article 49 of the bill of Fishery Law are administrative violations, the regulated punishments are administrative penalties.
