Manajemen Kualitas Air Budidaya Udang Vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei) di IBL Prigi, Kabupaten Trenggalek

Abstract

Vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is considered a superior variety. However, understanding water quality parameters is very important, because the crucial role of water must be maintained to suit the needs of vaname shrimp. Therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of evaluating the values ​​of vaname shrimp water quality parameters including temperature, pH, salinity, brightness, dissolved oxygen. The data collection method is carried out by making direct observations when going into the field. Observations are carried out in two ways, namely in situ with direct observation at the observation site. And ex situ is observation by taking samples in the field and observations will be carried out on the spot. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative descriptions. The research results show that the water quality parameters in vaname shrimp ponds are within the optimal range recommended by the Indonesian National Standards (SNI). Good water quality management, such as adjusting pH using limestone and providing probiotics, is an important factor to support shrimp growth. This research provides important information for cultivators in increasing vaname shrimp productivity.
