Abstract

The Mahakam Delta is a large mangrove ecosystem in East Kalimantan with a precious ecosystem and a massive mangrove species. Because of the conversion to shrimp aquaculture, the mangrove ecosystem has been devastated. This study looks at shrimp pond management in Salo Palai, Muara Badak, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan, using the traditional polyculture concept to increase pond productivity. The current shrimp pond condition was decreased water quality, substrate infertility, and natural food availability crisis. This model focused on traditional management, with a particular emphasis on pond preparation, polyculture, and used plant extracts. For 100 days, Penaeus monodon, Chanos chanos, Litopenaeus vannamei, Lates calcarifer, Scylla spp., and Gracilaria verrucosa were grown in the same time and pond. The yield from the pond was thrived: 332.14 kg/Ha. This concept can be used to restore mangroves, preserve the mangrove ecosystem, increase shrimp pond production, and protect the sea ecosystem; thus, this method achieves sustainable aquaculture.
