STUDY OF SUITABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARRYING CAPACITY FOR BARRAMUNDI (LATES CALCARIFER. BLOCH) CULTURE IN WATERS OF LEMUKUTAN ISLAND AND PENATA BESAR ISLAND, BENGKAYANG REGION, WEST KALIMANTAN
ABSTRACT: The aim of this
research are to study location suitability for developing Asian Seabass culture
with floating cage culture system based on carrying capacity at Lemukutan
Island and Penata Besar Island. The methods of this research include : field
survey for assessing the biophysics characteristic of Lemukutan and Penata
Besar Island, Geographycal Information System for suitability analyze and
carrying capacity analyze which compare to Kepmen LH No. 51 Years 2004. The
results indicated that all the water quality parameters mostly good and
suitable to support Asian Seabass culture. GIS results indicated that 1.564 Ha
can be developed for Asian Seabass culture on the floating net cage, or arround
14,44% from the total 10.830,7 Ha with depth about more than 6 metres and less
than 25 metres. Limited factor are sheltered area from the wave, wind and
storm, current rate are generally more than 0,6 m/s and depth water some less
than 6 m and more than 25 m.
Keywords: Suitability,
