Land Carrying Capacity Analysis for Groupers Aquaculture Development in Fishponds Cilebar Subdistrict, Karawang District

Abstract

ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kesesuaian dan daya dukung lahan suatu perairan tambak untuk kegiatan budi daya ikan kerapu. Metode yang digunakan, yaitu analisis kesesuaian lahan dan analisis daya dukung lahan. Hasil analisis kesesuaian lahan menunjukkan bahwa lahan tambak di Kecamatan Cilebar termasuk kriteria sangat sesuai sebesar 38,16 ha (17,13%), cukup sesuai sebesar 118,27 ha (53,11%), dan sesuai bersyarat sebesar 66,26 ha (29,75%). Hasil analisis daya dukung lahan perairan tambak dengan luas 156,43 ha sangat sesuai dan cukup sesuai untuk pengembangan budi daya kerapu sistem KJT sebanyak 313 petak tambak yang setara dengan 626 unit atau 6.257 kotak keramba. Kata kunci: daya dukung lahan, kesesuaian lahan, pengembangan kerapu tambak ABSTRACT The aims of this research were to analyze the land suitability and carrying capacity for groupers culture. The utilized methods were land suitability analysis and carrying capacity analysis. The results of land suitability analysis showed that the area which is fit very suitable criteria is 38.16 ha (17.13%), fit enough suitable is 118.27 ha (53.11%), and appropriate-conditional suitable is 66.26 ha (29.75%). The results of carrying capacity analysis resulted in an area of 156.43 ha which is very suitable for groupers culture development in KJT systems. This area could accommodate as much as 313 ponds which are equivalent to 626 units or 6.257 KJT boxes.
