<![CDATA[Appropriate Feed/Day (F/D) is an important factor in Litopenaeus vannamei cultivation activities. The amount of feed that is in accordance with shrimp needs can improve growth performance, but a small amount of feed causes low growth, while excessive feed has an impact on the quality of the aquatic environment. This study aims to determine the amount of F/D that has been arranged on the growth rate and water quality of L. vannamei cultivation. The study was conducted using the ex post causal design method in ponds in the Pandeglang area, Banten. The results of the study on the provision of F/D/H that has been arranged on the growth and water quality of L. vannamei cultivation showed positive results and had a strong effect. The low MBW value compared to the MBW estimate in the F/D program was caused by feed consumption factors. However, the FCR value based on the cumulative amount of feed and shrimp biomass produced was within the optimal range. The FCR values of ponds 1 and 2 were respectively: 1.35 and 1.58. The growth values of ponds 1 and 2 were respectively: MBW (1.62-14.3 and 1.62-12.80 grams/head), ADG (0.04-0.35 and 0.04-0.24 grams/day), size (400-70 and 330-78 heads/kg), biomass (4,038.68 and 3,718.90 kg), population (327,750 and 311,662 heads) and SR (94.31 and 89.68%). The water quality values are in the optimal range and support MBW growth based on the results of the regression analysis of R2 = 0.9869 (pond 1) and R2 = 0.9993 (pond 2). The results of the correlation analysis of F/D provision on growth (0.951652 for pond 1 and 0.944121 for pond 2) and water quality in both ponds are included in the optimal category for several specific parameters such as: temperature (0.496572 and -0.15046), transparancy (0.148697 and 0.564982), salinity (0.385598 and 0.385598), and nitrate (0.514148 and -0.050470).]]>
