Abstract
This study is to determine the level of land suitability as well as assessing the extent to which the 
 potential of land resources can be utilized for the cultivation of mangrove crabs. The purpose of this 
 research is to know the level of land suitability based on physical and chemical parameters for the 
 cultivation of mangrove crab in the pond area in Degayu Village. This research was conducted on 4 
 until 9 June 2018 at 4 ponds in Degayu Village. Water parameters measured are temperature, salinity, 
 water pH, DO, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, soil texture, soil pH. The feasibility analysis of pond land 
 is done by using Scoring Method with 3 values of feasibility class interval that is very suitable (S1), 
 according (S2), not appropriate (S3). The result from 4 point of pond station representing Degayu 
 Subdistrict showed temperature value ranged from 31-34 ºC, salinity ranged between 18-28 ppt, water 
 pH ranged from 6,3-7,9 ppm, DO ranged from 3.0-6,0 ppm, ammonia ranged from 0.1-0.3 mg/l, 
 nitrate ranged from 1.4 to 1.8 mg / l, phosphate ranged from 1 -2 mg / l, soil texture was generally 
 dominated by a mixture of clay / clay, sand, and dust and soil pH ranges from 7.0 -7.5. At station 1,3 
 gets S1 value (very suitable) while station 2,4a, and 4b got S2 value (accordingly). Pond in Degayu 
 village has a category of appropriate feasibility class (S1) to support the activities of mangrove crab 
 cultivation.

Summary
Kepiting bakau (Scylla spp) merupakan salah satu jenis spesies ikan yang potensinya cukup baik untuk dikembangkan. Pusat Statistik (BPS, 2017), ekspor kepiting dan kerang-kerangan dari tahun ke tahun mengalami peningkatan, beberapa negara tujuan ekspor seperti Tiongkok, Taiwan, Amerika Serikat, Italia, Malaysia, dll. Utara yang menyimpan potensi sumberdaya pesisir dan kelautan, baik hayati ataupun nonhayati yang cukup besar dan sangat menjanjikan untuk dikelola salah satunya potensi perikanan budidaya khususnya tambak. Pengembangan budidaya air payau menjadi andalan usaha perikanan yang dilihat dari banyaknya areal tambak baik yang produktif maupun yang terlantar. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu upaya pemanfaatan lahan tambak untuk budidaya kepiting bakau agar berlangsung baik, untuk mendukung upaya tersebut maka perlu dilakukan. Penelitian tentang analisis kesesuaian lahan berdasarksn psrsmeter fisis dan chemis.
