Sustainable management of whiteleg shrimp ( Litopennaeus vannamei) aquaculture in Barru Regency, South Sulawesi Province based on EAA (Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture)

Abstract

Abstract Sustainable shrimp aquaculture must integrate various factors such as environmental, social, and economic as well as various elements in it. FAO has developed the concept of EAA (Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture) which is an approach to increasing the contribution of aquaculture to sustainable development. In Indonesia, this concept was developed by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries to become “Akuakultur Dengan Pendekatan Ekosistem (ADPE)”. Several areas in Indonesia are centers of whiteleg shrimp aquaculture that have developed rapidly, including Barru Regency which is one of the regencies in South Sulawesi and has a large enough potential for whiteleg shrimp aquaculture. This study aims to assess status of ADPE’s implementation in whiteleg shrimp aquaculture area in Barru Regency as a basis for sustainable management aquaculture and recommendation strategies for implementing sustainable aquaculture based on GAP analysis. The results of this study indicate that ADPE assessment status at two locations showed differences, where Corawali Village was in the “poor” category with a score index, is 5,23 and Lawallu Village was in the “medium” category with a score index is 5,08 where based on results of GAP analysis between existing conditions and ideal conditions, it is shown that strategy priority of management plans that can be recommended are environmental management of aquaculture areas, institutions, law enforcement, community participation, and monitoring and evaluation.
