In order to increase white shrimp culture competitiveness there are two ways should be provided: introduction RAS cultivation technology, and RAS cultivation management. This study obtained the result that indicates RAS cultivation technology can be applied for white shrimp fish farmers with optimum density is 400 shrimp/m3, 1.13 of Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and 70% of Survival Rate (SR). Industrial management should be considered to support aquaculture such as product, raw material, cultivation process, marketing, and financial.
