Application of Aeration Technology and Bioeconomics on Short Distance Transport of Postlarvae Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei Transportation in Different Density

Density in shrimp farming is closely related to the dissolved oxygen needs, this can be overcome one of them through aeration technology to increase dissolved oxygen in the waters. Economic activities in the form of shrimp benur packaging is also an important thing because the safety of benur to consumers becomes a benchmark for the success of farmers in distributing their products so as to support the increase in the level of profit obtained. The aim of this study is to evaluate the opportunity of applying simple aeration technology on the transportation of closed short-range shrimp benur, bioeconomic aspect and oxygen consumed/post larvae. The method in this study is divided into several series, the first weighing weight of the benur is post larvae 10 with average a weight of 0,0026 ± 0,0021 g/larvae. The second is the preparation of raw water with aeration or bubbling type aeration technology. The third is by providing benur with research treatment into plastic bags and the last is short distance transportation process. The treatment applied is 200 post larvae/bag, 400 larvae/bag and 600 larvae/bag with a volume of 450 ml. The results showed that all treatments do not differ significantly both in terms of water quality, oxygen consumption rate and survival rate (sintasan), but in the bioeconomic count of treatment with a density of 600 larvae/bags in 450 ml of water showed the largest net profit of Rp45 753 000 compared to other treatments in the value of the profit including bonuses of a number of larvae if there is a death of larvae during the trip.
