Abstract

Kwandang water, Northern Gorontalo is considered as a very potential area for marine aquaculture especially the pearl oyster cultivation. However, a study of this prospective has not been published. The realization of the pearl oyster farming is affected by several factors. One of the factors that influence the success of oyster farming is the selection of proper location, which has suitable water quality for marine biota and good water productiveness as well in term of the abundance of phytoplankton. This study aims to analyze the abundance of phytoplankton as one of the biological parameters for the development of pearl oyster culture in the North Gorontalo area. The research method used is explorative by survey. The measurement of physical and chemical parameters is conducted in situ, while the biological parameter (phytoplankton) analysis is carried out in the laboratory. The results show that the North Gorontalo water qualifies as a good site for pearl oyster culture based on the abundance of phytoplankton. Key Words: marine biota, cultivation, proper location, water quality, Kwandang water.
