Abstract

The cultivation of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp is closely linked to the aquatic ecosystem influenced by various factors, with the shrimp pond habitat playing a central role in determining aquaculture success. Shrimp farming performance is commonly assessed by the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and survival rate (SR). Typically, FCR values range from 1.0 to 2.4, where a higher FCR indicates less efficient feed utilization, while a higher SR reflects better shrimp survival. A healthy aquatic ecosystem, supported by intertwined water parameters such as plankton, bacteria, and water chemistry, is essential for optimal shrimp growth. Plankton is known to contribute to the aquatic environment and enhance shrimp development, with evidence suggesting its growth may be affected by the type of pond construction. This study compared plankton species abundance and diversity in concrete and HDPE-lined ponds, finding greater plankton abundance (N) and diversity (H) in concrete ponds. However, plankton presence did not significantly affect FCR and SR at harvest. Instead, FCR and SR showed stronger correlations with total bacteria counts and water chemistry parameters, specifically NH₄, carbonate (CO₃), and bicarbonate (HCO₃). These findings highlight key parameters for future monitoring and evaluation to support shrimp cultivation success. Therefore, implementing a monitoring system focused on total bacteria, NH₄, and bicarbonate levels is recommended to safeguard harvest yields.
