Abstract

The high demand for vannamei shrimp encourages the government to increase production so that it can compete in the world market, but there is limited capacity in the ponds so that floating net cages of vaname shrimp are cultivated. This new approach requires a feasibility assessment, both economically and socio-ecologically, therefore the aims of this study was to assess it. The research location was determined purposively in the Thousand Islands. Primary data was collected by survey method with interview techniques assisted by structured questions. Secondary data collection is carried out to agencies such as the Center for Coastal and Ocean Resources Studies. The analyzes used are financial analysis and Rapid Appraisal of Fisheries (RAPFISH) analysis. The results show that in the financial aspect, the criteria for B / C ratio are still B / C <1, so it was not feasible. In the ecological and social aspects, based on the RAPFISH analysis, it has a fairly sustainable category so that there is a need for an increase in sensitive attributes. When compared with other business alternatives, it can be seen that the opportunity cost lost when choosing a vannamei shrimp business is Rp84.740.000/th. Ecological aspects with social aspects with a sustainability index value in the fairly sustainable category can be categorized as feasible for the development floating cages vannamei shrimp business.
