Technology usage is a fundamental element in any fishing activity. Small-scale fishermen are often characterized as information-poor and information deprived has always been a central component of rural development initiatives. Thus, this article reviewed the recent studies of fishery technology benefits. This article is based on the conceptual paper approach by reviewing past studies on related issues concerning small scale fishing activities among fishermen using fishing technology. The results showed that there are four benefits of using ICT for fishing activities among small-scale fishermen namely, increase productivity and combat poverty, reduce digital among rural community, improves technology literacy level among rural community, and safety issues among small-scale fishermen. These suggestions are hoped to provide basis for concerned parties to improve their connectivity and disseminate the ICT information and benefit by using the ICT provided in the rural area.
