THE ESTIMATION OF CAPACITY OF COASTAL WATERS IN RECEIVING TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLID WASTE FROM VANNAMEI SHRIMP CULTIVATIONA. MUQSITH, N. HARAHAB, M. MAHMUDI, AND M. FADJARAbstract This research aims to estimate Total Suspended Solid (TSS) waste from shrimp vannameiaqua culture pond and estimation of capacity coastal waters in receiving organic waste. The results provide information that vannamei shrimp farming with stocking density (130 ind./m2)produce TSS of 13611.63 kg TSS/ha/cultivation cycle. If all active vannamei shrimp ponds in the study area (37.8 ha) carry out the shrimp cultivation process at the same time, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) waste from vannamei shrimp pond discharged into coastal waters is 514519.43 kg TSS/cultivation cycle. The maximum capacity of waters receiving TSS waste from shrimp ponds in the study area is 537688.09 kg TSS/day. At the current condition, TSS waste from all vannamei shrimp ponds in the study area (37.8 ha) still does not exceed maximum capacity of coastal waters in receiving TSS waste. |
