Inland waters have an important role in increasing fishermen’s income, satisfying community nutritional needs, providing food security for the community, functioning as habitats for aquatic organisms, and maintaining environmental balance. The gap in fish resource management in Inland Water is that many problems in Inland Water have not been revealed and are not well documented. For this reason, it is necessary to collect references to review the problems and challenges of fish resource management in Inland Waters, as well as provide solutions so that Inland Water Fisheries can be sustainable. Inland water fisheries’ problems in Indonesia are sedimentation, pollution, habitat destruction, lack of fishways, and overfishing. To reduce sedimentation, deforested land on the hillsides must be replanted. Green belts on the banks of reservoirs should not be used for agriculture and settlements, and must have a good master plan for land use, and sediment dredging should be carried out regularly. To tackle pollution from fish farming activities in inland waters, fish farming in reservoirs/ lakes must not pollute the waters, and the amount must match the carrying capacity. To deal with pollution from industry, waste must be treated first before being discharged into water. Dams in rivers must be equipped with fishways so that fish can migrate. To overcome overexploitation, the number and types of large fishing gear, such as liftnets, filtering device, active seine, and active barrier, along with fishing using poisons, chemicals, or electricity, must be monitored and punished. Based on the findings in the review that explain the problem and how to overcome it, fish resource management has a chance of success if it is good in its management.
