EVALUATION OF TIGER SHRIMP (Penaeus monodon Fabr.) HATCHERY MANAGEMENT AT THE BRACKISHWATER AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT CENTER, JEPARA, CENTRAL JAVA

The success of tiger shrimp production is influenced by the availability of quality postlarvae. The objective of this study was to evaluate biotechnical aspects of tiger shrimp hatcheries to produce quality postlarvae and analyse the economic aspects of tiger shrimp hatchery business in BBPBAP Jepara. The method used in this research was a case study method. Analysis of data used include analysis of biotechnical aspects of tiger shrimp hatchery maintenance and spawning broodstock, broodstock feed management, larval and post larvae rearing management, and water quality and health management. Analysis of economic aspects that include, cost analysis, revenue, income, and business feasibility analysis which includes, Payback Period (PP), and Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio). The results showed that tiger shrimp broodstock tiger shrimp comes from nature, spawning using the ablation method, the feed used is fresh feed, the type of feed used, and the type of feed used. feed used in the form of fresh feed, the type of feed for larvae and tiger shrimp larval and post larvae consisted of phytoplankton, artemia, and artificial feed.
