Abstract
Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a leading crustacean commodity that is widely cultivated because of its rapid growth and strong adaptability to the environment. This study aimed to describe the grow-out technique of whiteleg shrimp in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)-lined ponds at UPT Balai Perikanan Budidaya Air Payau (BPBAP) Situbondo, Gelung Installation, covering pond preparation, water quality management, feed management, and growth performance. The study was conducted from 12 November 2025 to 13 January 2026 using a survey method with primary data collection (observation, active participation, and interviews) and secondary data (literature review and institutional documents). Shrimp were stocked at a density of 125 individuals/m² (200,000 individuals in a 1,600 m² pond). The results showed that water quality parameters remained within the optimum range, namely temperature 25.5–30.6°C, pH 7.4–8.0, salinity 23–27 ppt, transparency 20–40 cm, and dissolved oxygen 4–5 mg/L. Feed management was applied through a blind feeding method (DOC 1–30) and an index-based method (DOC 31–harvest), with Average Body Weight increasing from 3.1 g (DOC 30) to 5.6 g (DOC 40) and Average Daily Growth ranging from 0.24–0.26 g/day. The Feed Conversion Ratio obtained was 1.04, considered efficient. During rearing, an infection of Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV) occurred, presumably triggered by temperature fluctuations and high stocking density. These results indicate that the application of HDPE-lined ponds combined with proper water quality and feed management can optimally support the growth of whiteleg shrimp, although viral disease control still requires strengthened biosecurity measures.
