<![CDATA[Intensive cultivation of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is now being developed inthe aquaculture industry in Indonesia. Efforts to increase the success of whiteleg shrimpcultivation continue made by business actors including BPBAP Ujung Batee. This study aimsto analyze the growth rate of whiteleg shrimp intensively cultivated in HDPE and concreteround pond media at BPBAP Ujung Batee. The results of this study can be used as informationand references regarding the selection of the right container for intensive whiteleg shrimpcultivation. The study was conducted from June to August 2024. The method in this study wasa survey method, where data collection was carried out through direct observation in the field.The parameters observed in this study were Mean Body Weight (MBW), Average DailyGrowth (ADG), biomass, survival rate (SR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). In addition,measurements of water quality parameters were also carried out in the form of temperature,pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), salinity, ammonia, alkalinity, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate. Theresults of the study showed that the MBW, ADG, Biomass, and SR values of vaname shrimpcultivated in concrete pond media were higher than those in HDPE ponds. The results alsoshowed that the FCR value in concrete ponds (1.4) was lower than the FCR in HDPE ponds(1.5). This means that the FCR of concrete ponds is better than the FCR of HDPE ponds. Waterquality parameters showed different results between HDPE ponds and concrete ponds. InHDPE ponds, the water quality parameters that were in the optimal range were pH, DO, andphosphate, while in concrete ponds they were temperature, DO, and phosphate.]]>
