Abstract
Most of the life cycle of tiger prawns were estuarine (Delta Mahakam). In the juvenile stage life in estuarine and the adult stage in marine. The research objective is to assess the potential of the tiger prawn fry catches in the Mahakam Delta, as a source of tiger prawn fry in the Mahakam Delta area farms. Research using interviews and descriptive analysis through monitoring with fishermen. The results showed that the fry tiger prawn from the Delta Mahakam there on the beaches or the edge of the sea where the water is shallow and slightly brackish, as in the Delta Mahakam. Fry can be captured by using rumpon. Tiger prawns fry from Delta Mahakam durability is relatively higher than fry from the hatchery. However, the number and continuity of fry very limited because it depends on the season. Abundance of fry is determined by the number of larvae produced in the wild and their survival is greatly influenced by the availability of food.

Summary
Fry supply is the most important initial requirement of shrimp farming; this issue did not receive much attention until severe shortages in wild fry supply were experienced. The penaeid shrimp are cultivated in ponds comes from marine shrimp In the wild this shrimp occupy different habitats,` based stage life cycle. The life-cycle of inshore penaeid prawns typically involves a marine adult phase followed by a planktonic period of egg and larval development prior to migration of postlarvae into estuaries. This makes them major candidates for coast-wise dispersal of eggs and larvae according to local current patterns (Forbes and Cyrusb, 1991). Adult stage living in waters in the middle of the ocea, being larvae, post- larvae and young shrimp live in places that are shallow coastal waters ( Soeseno , 1983). The research objective is to assess the potential of the black tiger shrimp catches in the Delta Mahakam, as a source of fry in the Mahakam Delta area farms
