Shrimp farming is a business that is in great demand because it has promising prospects and profits. This study aims to analyze the mineral content of vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farming water in Purworejo Village, Pasir Sakti Subdistrict, Lampung Timur District. Mineral parameters observed were calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Water sample were taken at DOC 5, DOC 20, and DOC 35 in three different ponds. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The result obtained were Ca content ranging from 186,7-266,7 mg/L, Mg ranging from 307,4-396,4 mg/L, K ranging from 43,3-70,8 mg/L, and Na ranging from 1767,5-4308,6 mg/L. This indicates that the mineral content in vaname shrimp culture water is low because it is below the optimal standard range. Therefore, additional treatments is needed in the maintenance media so that the mineral content increases and supports the sustainability of vaname shrimp farming activities.
