Abstract

Abstract: The nursery of shrimp is an intermediate effort to connect hatchery and grow-out process, wherein shrimp fry was rear in a controlled process in a certain time before reared on pond. The study was aimed to evaluate the growth and, survival rate of white shrimp ( L. vannamei ) under different stocking density in nursery phase on pond. The nursery of L. vannamei was carried out at experimental pond installation of Research Institute for Coastal Aquaculture and Fisheries Extension (RICAFE) in Maros-South Sulawesi using a 5.5 x 11 m 2 size of ponds, which was equipped with a bottom aeration system. The water depth of pond was 40 cm. Pond preparation was done by pond repairing, maintaining, drying, and eradicating using 20 ppm of saponin, flushing and water filling gradually until maximum of water level. The fry of L. vannamei (PL-10) with an average initial weight of 0.002g, which obtained from hatchery, were stocked. The treatments were stocking density of L. vannamei fry namely 1, 653 individuals/m 3 or 40, 000 individuals/pond (A) and 909 individuals/m 3 or 22, 000 individuals/pond (B). Commercial powdered feed was given 3 times/day in 50–100% of biomass weight calculation base. The parameters observed were growth rate, survival rate of white shrimp and water quality condition. The results showed water quality variables including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and alkalinity were in a suitable range for growth and survival of L. vannamei . The survival rate of L. vannamei in 21 days nursery was 86.40-95.61% and the final weight ranging from 0.292 to 0.320g/ind.
