Land Suitability Evaluation for Pacific White Shrimp Aquaculture Development in West Halmahera, Indonesia
Pacific white shrimp has emerged as a high-value economic commodity extensively developed in various countries including Indonesia. Several areas have been designated for its aquaculture development. West Halmahera Regency is recognized as one of the potential regions for such development. This study aimed to evaluate the land suitability for Pacific white shrimp aquaculture in the coastal regions of West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province, Indonesia. Observations were conducted at eight existing pond sites: Toniku (TU), Tewe (TE), Dodinga (DA), Tuada (TA), Payo (PO), Bobo (BO), Sahu (SU), and Ibu (IU). Data collection involved assessing infrastructure, water quality, and soil conditions. The collected data were analyzed for land suitability and further visualized through tabulated results and land suitability maps. The analysis revealed that the TU area has 70.06 Ha classified as moderately suitable; the TE area has 55.70 Ha classified as moderately suitable; the DA area has 27.52 Ha classified as moderately suitable; the TA area has 96.39 Ha classified as highly suitable; the PO area has 46.71 Ha classified as moderately suitable; the BO area has 39.43 Ha classified as moderately suitable; the SU area has 77.34 Ha classified as highly suitable; and the IU area has 300.40 Ha classified as highly suitable and 315.36 Ha as moderately suitable. The study concludes that based on parameters of infrastructure, water quality, and soil conditions, the Toniku, Tewe, Dodinga, Tuada, Payo, Bobo, Sahu, and Ibu areas in West Halmahera Regency, are suitable for Pacific white shrimp aquaculture development.
