Carbon emissions and their relation to shrimp farming activities getting more attention by researchers and environmentalists. Emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases are concluded as drivers of climate change due to global warming. On the contrary, climate change is proven to determine the continuity and sustainability of shrimp farming activities. The dynamics of carbon and profitability are different for the three cultivation technologies (extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive), it caused by differences in the number and types of production inputs, and facilities and infrastructure, and also differences in productivity. This study aims to formulate the blue growth of aquaculture areas in the coastal area of Karawang Regency-West Java related to carbon emission within the DPSIR framework and use trade off analyses to obtain shrimp farming technologies alternative that are low in carbon emissions. Our conclusion to be able to reduce the carbon emissions, and increase the carbon sequestration and stock as effort for shrimp farming blue growth through optimize the spatial use supervision and increase the productivity of shrimp farming. The lowest carbon emission of shrimp farming technology are semi-intensive, intensive and extensive, respectively
Shrimp is a vastly strategic aquaculture commodity in Indonesia, most of which is produced for the export market; hence, competitiveness is the main key in the industry. With the increasing productivity of a shrimp farming area, the regulation for establishing a shrimp culture area needs to be strictly managed, including reducing carbon emissions. The management of aquaculture areas needs to pay attention to the principle of sustainability and consider carbon dynamics. This paper contains a descriptive analysis of the literature related to the substance of the study. The carbon dynamics in aquaculture areas consist of potential sources of carbon emitted and potential sinks or carbon that can be absorbed and stored. By structuring the shrimp pond area, aquaculture engineering, the application of good aquaculture practices and use of alternative energy sources, during the shrimp farming process in ponds, the carbon emission can be minimized, and the carbon sink can be increased. Our recommendation suggests that analysis of land suitability, environmental carrying capacity and carbon dynamics in each shrimp pond area are exceptionally required to be conducted to assess land suitability as a low carbon emission shrimp farming area. Furthermore, to increase farmers' understanding and awareness of the sustainability of the practices, pilot areas for low-emission shrimp ponds need to be developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
