The humpback grouper produced has entered the export market, however the high costs of humpback grouper of aquaculture, unstable output and input prices and  the relatively small area of floating net cages are considered to be obstacles for humpback grouper farmers to develop their business. This condition affects the competitiveness of humpback grouper in South Painan Village. The objectives of this research are to:(1) analyze the competitive and comparative advantages of humpback grouper in South Painan Village; (2) analyze the effect of changes in output and input prices on the competitive and comparative advantage of humpback grouper in South Painan Village. The analytical method used in this research are Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) and sensitivity analysis on PAM.
