Evaluation of karst water quality as an early reference of land suitability mapping for vaname shrimp (Litopenaeusvannamei) culture media

Vaname shrimp (Litopenaeusvannamei) is one of the excellent fishery commodities in Indonesia. Vaname shrimp farming can be conducted in low salinity water. Low salinity water sources which could be used as culture media is karst water because it has a high mineral. The research was aimedto evaluate land suitability mapping for pond as the vaname shrimpculture mediaseen from the water quality. Research was conducted in May and August 2016. Water sampling was conducted in several locations; Ancol-Jakarta (seawater), Ciseeng-Bogor (karst water salinity), Ciampea-Bogor (karst freshwater), and Situ Gede Bogor (freshwater). Evaluating the suitability of karst water quality for vaname shrimp culture media, done by the results of karst water quality analysis compared with seawater and SNI 01-7246-2006 on shrimp vaname culture media. The results showed that Karst water of Ciseeng and Ciampea could not directly use as vaname shrimp culture media. It is needed water quality treatment of ozonation and aeration of karst water to improve water quality. Ozonation and aeration treatments were able to improve the quality of karst water up to approach the living quality standard of vaname shrimp media.

Penilaian Kualitas Air Berdasarkan Sistem Saprobik di Sungai Ciapus

Changes of environment could also changes the organisms, as individual, population, or community therefore the appearance of an organism could be applied as biological indicator of those environments. Simple methods were introduced in England, Australia, Thailand, and Indonesia. The objective of this study was to evaluate water quality of Ciapus river using simple kit based on saprobic system. An Illustrated cover and inserted paper were used as kit to evaluate the river water quality. Using this kit, the appearance of specific organisms were used as key to evaluate the river water quality of Ciapus River directly. Samples were taken from two segment of Ciapus River i.e. upper and middle part. According to the method, the upper segment of Ciapus River was categorized as very good condition, while the middle part was in moderate condition.
