Factors Affecting Production of Vanamei Shrimp Pond Farming in Pidie Jaya District-Aceh Province, of Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the production results of shrimp pond farming, namely: length of experience in farming, land area, fry stocking density, amount of feed given, number of workers/laborers, capital, harvest time, and installation of mills. The sample in this study was 45 respondents. Analysis technique usingCobb-Douglass function model. The results of the analysis show that the experience factor has a significant effect on the 100% confidence level in increasing the production of ponds, both semi-intensively and intensively managed. Statistically at the 95% confidence level, it turns out that every additional 1 year of experience in Vannamei Shrimp farming activities will result in an increase in production yield of 651 kg. Factors such as the area of ??arable land, the number of workers employed, the density of fry stocked, the number of pinwheels installed, the amount of bait given, and the amount of capital spent statistically still have little effect on increasing the production of Vannamei Shrimp in Pidie Jaya district so far.
