Factors Affecting the Sustainability of Vannamei Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Farming in IBL Prigi Using Process Hierarchy Analysis (AHP)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the factors and variables affecting the sustainability of vannamei shrimp (L. vannamei) farming at the Prigi Marine Aquaculture Installation (IBL) which will later become a priority of attention by IBL Prigi itself. The respondents of this study consisted of 7 people who were directly related to the cultivation process at IBL Prigi, namely the Head of Installation, Aquaculture Technician and Fish Farming Supervision Manager. The importance of each factor and variable is determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of this study found that the most influential factor was the ecological factor with a priority weight of 0.35 or 35%, while the variables that had the most dominant influence were shrimp protection, market availability, water quality management, suitability of cultivation sites, feed management and quality of worker resources.
